    1. And sales increased.
      I don’t know what to think of nike. They took a big risk IMO but I guess they know their market.

      1. Sales increased? And you know this in a week? I usually determine my sales after I count them. Nike must have a great system in place to know their sales long before the product is produced. Lets wait for quarterly results – any increase in orders was likely staged. Their online orders apparently increased – ANTIFA making a fashion statement?

  1. The Sockmonkey is in Toronto today to attend a “Women in the world conference ”
    Wonder if someone in the media will bring up the Creston allegations?

    1. In a word, no. He has apologized for it even though he doesn’t remember it. Remember he said it must have been a different experience for her than him…well yeah, I guess it was.

      1. in another dimension, a jealous bf puts a hollow point .45 in the TURD’s head for man… er, ‘peoplekind’handling the reporter.
        or, a good part of khadr’s 10 mill returns to haunt him for a brief flash in the form of a suicide vest.

        the TURD doesnt seem fazed by the slightest when HIS policies cause THIS stuff to happen to MY fellow Canadistans.

    2. So do I take my cue on relations with the fairer sex from what the Creston Groper does or what he lectures? Imagine that – I am really old and still confused.

  2. From Martin Armstrong, Economic advisor & forecaster to sovereign nations & extremely wealthy individual. This is re NAFTA on his free blog.
    QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Do you agree with Trump that if he canceled NAFTA, the United States would be better off?
    ANSWER: Ironically – YES from a jobs perspective, not the consumer. What you have to understand is that these trade deals are all nonsense. They are NOT Free Trade in the least. They are compromises so politicians can pretend they have accomplished something.

    Take the deal with Europe. France’s position was that nothing can be called “Champagne” unless it comes from that region in France. Every trade negotiation is a compromise that maintains protectionism. In that regard, if Trump actually canceled NAFTA, his boast that the US would be better off is meant that all products would then be subjected to tariffs and all of the American industry would be protected.

    Now, that said, this view is that of the worker – not the consumer. All of these trade negotiations are one-sided. They are always focused only on jobs and not producing the best price for the consumer which in turn raises our standard of living. I have never encountered even one politician who has EVER defended the consumer in trade deals. This violates the principle of Comparative Advantage put forth by David Ricardo. It’s true that Saudi Arabia could grow lettuce but the cost of irrigation in the desert would make the cost 10 times more than simply buying it from Europe or North America. It would cost the consumer far more to simply grow that product in the desert than importing so it is best to buy it elsewhere and focus on your productive capacity in which you have some comparative advantage over others.

    1. what a idiot…..using his logic….more people out of work is better for the economy
      …and more people with jobs is bad for the economy

      1. Former manufacturing workers can afford more throwaway Chinese plastic shit on their welfare payment making our country a better place. We must even have a shortage of people on welfare because we keep importing them.

  3. Despite being elected Premier by a large majority, a liberal judge has decided that Doug Ford cannot act as premier of this province unless he cow tows to the liberal agenda. The left has taken over control of this entire country with the assistance of the liberal courts. There really is no need for any future elections, just have the liberal judges appoint their liberal lackeys and save Canadians a ton of money.

    1. That would be like the old former Soviet Union? Oh wait….
      Btw, that would not save any money as they would just spend it on more elaborate dachas in the Laurentians.

      Then there is also the activist judge in the Burnaby Trans-Mountain pipeline decision.

      With our law schools, such as the one in Windsor, announcing an increased emphasis on Social Justice, this activism will only increase.

    2. Amazing how a judge can ignore the Constitution and the sovereignty of the Ontario government. Ford should disband the Toronto government and appoint Faith Goldy as trustee to run the place. Or make city councils an unpaid voluntary position?

    3. This is the same judge that refused to freeze the $10.5-million federal government payout to Omar Khadr so that the widow of the U.S. soldier Khadr killed could get her money.

    4. If the judge is correct wouldn’t that mean any government act can be deemed unconstitutional if its inconvenient?

      Time to raise the black flag and invoke another clause the notwithstanding one.

      1. Three readings and a signature on a notwithstanding clause bill and have it on the judges desk by noon tomorrow. Time to call the judge before a judicial council and ask him what the hell he is doing. A city receives all its authority in the Constitution from the province.

        1. Ford just put the court on notice.
          He will invoke the nwsc.
          Which he has the authority under the constitution.
          Wait for it, the liberals and NDP will be calling on the Sockmonkey to remove sec 33 from the constitution.

  4. it is estimated that in the last century, govts killed between 200 – 300 million human beings with weapons, in fact, the numbers are so large and govts so devious, a truly accurate number of such deaths cannot be ascertained. with this in mind:

    Q: would anyone in full control of their mental faculties trust that govts alone possess weapons in light of this history?

    or, better yet:

    Q: is it reasonable, given the history of govts with weapons, to suggest that GOVTS should be denied the possession of weapons?

    the first question is seriously put forth and can be answered in one word: NO

    the second question is put forth in a tongue-in-cheek manner to accentuate the absolute foolishness of disarming the entity (private gun owners) that has not done even a fraction of the number of deaths govts have during the same time frame, while insisting the very entity that kills by the hundreds of millions has the sole ability to possess weapons. i am a practical man and realize that as long as there are govts, those govts will have weapons. therefore, under the current construction of the ‘world order’, the second question is, indeed, tongue-in -cheek and meant to demonstrate the foolishness of the anti gunners.

    i long ago gave up trying to ‘understand’ the position of those who would deny me the use of a tool to protect myself, in essence insisting that i become a passive victim under the proper circumstances. that is, simply, not normal thinking.

  5. As SDA readers know, Professor Rick Mehta has been fired by Acadia University. Here is his personal statement of defence — available on the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship website: http://safs.ca/issuescases/mehta-fired/Statement%20by%20Rick%20Mehta%20Regarding%20His%20Dismissal%20from%20Acadia%20University.pdf

    Although the post is lengthy, I urge SDA readers to read the post. It describes well how left-fascism operates at universities. From his discussion, it appears that the professor does have a case that he might win. But he needs our active support.

    1. I wish him well, but, considering the iron grip of Marxist/Leninism control of our universities and the similarly sympathizing activist judges, do not hold up much hope that he will receive real justice. Instead, he will receive a perverted justice of SJ truth.

      Hopefully I am wrong.

  6. Environmental Defence Canada is at it again with their misinformation and propaganda.

    “From Cheerios to Oreos to chocolate glazed Timbits, a controversial weed-killing chemical has been found in several popular food products in Canada.

    In a study commissioned by advocacy group Environmental Defence Canada and independently conducted by California-based Anresco Laboratories, 18 common food items were tested for glyphosate, the active ingredient of a chemical herbicide sold under the name Roundup and found in many agricultural and gardening products.”

    Meanwhile, the truth.

    ” Len Ritter, a professor of environmental toxicology at the University of Guelph, described the level of herbicides in the new report “extraordinarily low.”

    “They’re not the kinds of levels with which we would be concerned toxicologically. So what would people get from this? I think nothing at all, quite frankly,” Ritter said.”

    “For wheat-based foods (744 parts per billion in tortillas), an adult would have to eat 28 kg of tortillas every day for the life to reach PMRA’s allowable exposure limit. That’s 430 tortillas per day. Every day.”

  7. A Letter to Prime Minister Trudeau About Trans Mountain: Please Read
    September 10, 2018 by EnergyNow Media

    EnergyNow is pleased to publish this letter that was recently sent to Justin Trudeau by Deidra Garyk, who works in the Canadian energy industry. If you agree with Deidra please share her letter on your own social media channels. We must keep up our collective voice to make sure the majority of Canadians are heard. The project is vital to getting a competitive price for our CANADIAN oil and generating tax revenue for a federal treasury that benefits all of Canadians.

    https://energynow.ca/2018/09/a-letter-to-prime-minister-trudeau-about-trans-mountain-please-read/?source=de&wtv

    1. Good letter. I guess we need to wait until the “PM” returns from his feminist discussion group to see if he has a response.

  8. Will Justin, in the scripted surety that what’s good for Grits is “what Canadians want,” call a snap election?

    Too bad they have so many flies in their ointment as the mediocracy tries to steer their boy blunder around the various political minefields menacing an early election call. They can’t have this Premier Kenny fellow talking about alienation, ie racism. No, we must have a muted Trump who will surely be on defensive after a supposed blue wave. Plus, “none of their opponents are ready.” Don’t be so sure cabin boy and his puppeteers. I hope they go for it.

    https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/2018/09/09/early-federal-election-rumours-build.html

    Here’s a thought. Evil Trump, seizing at the opportunity to jolt Justin, imposes auto tariffs during our election campaign. Oops, better wait out the US mid-terms after all eh Justin?

    I say let’s get on with it. If we get the Grits out, we have a shot. If they are returned in majority, not only will our economy go into the tank, national unity will run out of gas too.

    Allow me to be succinct: Another LPC majority means Trudeau will be the last PM of Canada as it is presently constituted.

  9. anybody here notice this?
    the concrete bases placed for the defunct and removed ‘cumoooonity’ mailboxes have also all disappeared.
    far out.
    how politically dangerous would it be for ANY subsequent gubbamint (thats YOU mr sheer) to yet again kibosh home delivery and pay aaaaaaall that money AGAIN, to reinstall said drop boxes?
    that ringing in my ears, is that the conservatist wealthy class stevie-boy harpoon catered to, whining about having to ‘subsidize’ the home delivery system? see, the thing is THEY dont use canadistan post, THEY resort to the exclusive and privileged and much more costly PRIVATE couriers.
    is this a contributing reason harpoon lost power? yup !!!

    and as far as the excuse yawell yawell yawell new residential developments doan hab it so neider can youse.
    guess what, anybody BUYING in said new development lacking home delivery, *you already knew it doesnt come with home delivery. YOU put yourself in that situation by buying in an area lacking home delivery*, so S T F U.

  10. The Altering of the Deal
    The White Phosphorus President

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-10/russia-says-us-violated-geneva-convention-white-phosphorous-attack

    In what Russian officials warned could be a preamble to another US-approved false flag attack, US jets on Saturday reportedly dropped white phosphorus on Hajin, a Syrian town in the Deir Ez-Zor province. When it comes in contact with oxygen, white phosphorus can cause massive fires. Because of this, it’s banned by the Geneva Convention for use in combat. Russian officials said they’re still waiting for information on casualties.

    Here’s more from RT:

    Two F-15 jets on Saturday bombed the town of Hajin with white phosphorus incendiary munitions, banned under the Geneva Convention, according to the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria.

    “Following the strikes, large fires were observed in the area,” Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko said Sunday. There’s still no information on casualties caused by the bombing run, he added.

    The US promptly denied responsibility for the attack.

    A Pentagon spokesperson denied the allegations of dropping white phosphorus bombs. “At this time, we have not received any reports of any use of white phosphorous,” Commander Sean Robertson told the media on Sunday. “None of the military units in the area are even equipped with white phosphorous munitions of any kind.”

    Photos of the attack have emerged on social media:

  11. The Altering of the Deal
    The Terrorist Supporting President

    https://www.globalresearch.ca/dirty-open-secret-israels-military-idf-admits-aiding-al-qaeda-terrorists-in-syria/5653189

    The dirtiest open secrets about war in Syria are the following:

    1. It’s Obama’s war (not civil as falsely claimed), now Trump’s, waged for regime change and isolating Iran – ahead of a similar campaign to replace its legitimate government with pro-Western puppet rule.

    2. Washington, NATO, Israel, and their imperial allies actively aid ISIS and other terrorists in Syria and elsewhere, using them as imperial proxies – recruiting, funding, training, directing, and arming them, including with heavy weapons able to combat the armed forces of any nation earmarked for regime change.

    On September 4, the Jerusalem Post headlined: “IDF CONFIRMS: ISRAEL PROVIDED LIGHT-WEAPONS TO SYRIAN REBELS,” saying:

    “The Israeli army has admitted, for the first time, that it provided large amounts of cash, weapons and ammunition to Syrian rebels (sic) in the Golan Heights.”

    “Reports first surfaced of Israel providing arms and cash to rebel groups several years ago, with the regime of Bashar Assad claiming that Israel had been providing arms to terror groups and its forces had regularly seized arms and munitions with inscriptions in Hebrew.”

    “The army believes that the decision to provide weapons and cash to the rebel groups along the border with Israel’s Golan Heights was the right decision.”

    “On Monday, the military announced that in the past year and half alone, (the IDF) carried out 202 strikes against (alleged) Iranian and Hezbollah targets in Syria.”

    The Jerusalem Post said Israel’s military censor ordered the publication to remove its report, its managing editor David Brinn telling RT:

    “We were told by the army’s military censor to remove that part of the story…for security reasons” – material relating to arming and otherwise aiding anti-government terrorists in Syria.

    The report was removed hours after publication, preserved through Google cache – a version of the article available online.

  12. The Altering of the Deal
    The Psychic Consulting President

    https://southfront.org/psychic-nikki-haley-if-there-is-a-future-chemical-weapons-attack-assad-did-it/

    UN Ambassador and Clairvoyant Prognosticator of the Transmundane Nikki Haley has foreseen that, if there are any future chemical weapons attacks in the Syrian province of Idlib, it will most definitely be the Syrian government that is responsible and not the multiple terrorist factions in the area.

  13. Doug Ford: NOTWITHSTANDING!

    Yeah an end to juridical rule! Also an end run around upcoming left/union court challenges to Ford’s government.

  14. Our pipelines and LNG plants are building themselves, meanwhile money is pouring into other energy resource and reserve areas.
    My, oh my, are we ever being sold down the river by our government and foreign funded destroyers.

    The price to access unexplored shale assets on the New Mexico side of the Permian Basin soared to $95,001 an acre in a federal government auction, a record high for North America’s biggest oil field.

    The state’s previous record was $40,001 an acre set in December, according to a statement by the U.S. Department of the Interior Thursday. Overall, the two-day auction saw bids on 142 parcels of land and raised $972 million, more than the whole of 2017 and double the 2008 record.

    “SICK: Judge Who Struck Down Doug Ford’s Bill 5 Is Same Judge Who Ruled Against Widow Who Wanted To Freeze Omar Khadr’s $10.5 Million Trudeau Payday

    The sick thinking of the far-left continues spreading throughout our increasingly corrupt system.
    In the wake of the ruling striking down Doug Ford’s Bill 5 that would have slashed Toronto City Council, it turns out that the judge who struck down Ford’s legislation had made a past ruling in favour of Omar Khadr.

    As shared by David Jacobs on Twitter, it turns out that judge Edward Belobaba is the same judge who ruled against Tabitha Speer – the widow of U.S. Sgt. Christopher Speer who Khadr admitted to killing in Afghanistan.”

  16. Rampant speculation alert:

    There was this professor who was used by the FBI to set up a low level Trump associate, George Padopolous, telling him there was dirt on Hillary, who then told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, who apparently alerted the FBI, who by sheer coincidence is connected with the Clintons.

    When that turned out to be drunken nonsense, Mueller’s goons went after Papadopolous, apparently, who’s “lying prevented the FBI from interviewing Mifsud,” who was their guy all along.

    Then they killed him. Anyway it’s alleged he’s dead. Maybe he’s hanging out with Foster & Rich.

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/10/dnc-says-papadopoulos-tipster-and-key-figure-in-russia-case-might-be-dead.html

    In totally unrelated news, Alexander Downer has gone into hiding.

  17. The notion that economic trends under Trump are but a continuation of the Obama years are crushed in this presentation.

    What has the WSJ have to say? Trump was contradicted by the WH; for saying growth rates and higher than unemployment.

    “The GDP Rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years!” Mr. Trump inaccurately tweeted earlier Monday. Economic data show this circumstance last occurred in early 2006, or about 12 years ago.” Let’s not bother with what the presenter actually said, that it was not true that Obama started current economic good news.

    Never mind that trends not completely reversed indicated an improvement only at the very end of Obama’s tenure.

    Maybe because business knew he was on his way out? I know thinking makes lefties’ heads hurt.

    Please take a few moments to watch this presentation, to see truly how full of crap the no context sin of omission the media is.

    So little time, so many sins of omission to con people with.

    These fools at the WSJ, while focusing on Trump being “contradicted,” use a photo of a presentation that clearly contradicts that Obama started positive trends that only continued under Trump.

    Nothing could be further from the “truth.”

    “Monday, September 10, 2018, 5:36 PM – It might not be what everyone wants to hear, but Mother Nature won’t be denied — fall is almost upon us in the Prairies, and that has us talking about a September snowfall. While we’ve seen a few flakes in the higher elevations, this time we’re talking about the potential for the first significant round of snow for some points across the north.”
