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."

Jack Baruth has become my favorite columnist besides Mark Steyn.
Here’s his take on the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation circus:
https://jackbaruth.com/?p=12163
He concludes:
“Now there is nothing left to be done, and no more medicine in the cabinet for future battles. Nothing, that is, but the obvious message sent to anybody who might have any thought of representing a right-of-center or even centrist opinion in this country: they will ruin your life if you try it. Everybody will be hit with rape allegations from high school or possibly before. Everybody will be called a racist, a bigot, an Islamophobe. From now on, the antibiotics of last resort will be used on EVERYONE. Will they work? We will find out in a month, when the results of the midterms are in. But one thing is certain: the gloves are off now, all the way ’round. We are all now in what Setright called “the sanguinary cockpit of Passchendaele.” No quarter asked or given. May God have mercy on us all.”
You’ll know the rule of law has been restored when we hear the testimony, in open court and not 35 years after the fact, of people who clearly did not make up their stories of sexual outrages against their person, and are mostly lucky to have survived their ordeals at all.
Women and girls kidnapped by Muslim and Latin American gangs, pimped out to the local gentry and forced to perform the disgusting sex acts the gentry had seen in pornography.
Men in jail for acts they did not commit (such as false accusations of child abuse) traded as sex slaves among hardened criminals.

What happened to junk scientist Al Gore’s 2009 prediction that there was high probability the arctic ice cap would be gone by 2013 to 2016?
I have a friend who goes insane over the idea that the polar bear population is decreasing because of global warming. Not sure if I wanted to hurt her feelings by sending that to her!
In the 1960’s, my father worked with the Federal Department of Transport, Edmonton, which also administered the Yukon and NWT. There was a finite window for shipping from end of April to end of June, in which to barge up supplies on the Mackenzie River. I remember him telling us at dinner of one foolish contractor who thought he could ship supplies in July/August. But it was too late. The contractor was super “P’O’d” that my father (himself a former contractor) insisted on holding him to the terms of the contract (Dad had told him to ship in either May or June) to have the project completed. The contractor thought the government should reimburse him for having to air ship the supplies into Inuvik.
It seems nothing has changed in the 50+ years since.
Watch for it this week:

I’m sure there is a lesson here somewhere. Imagining 3rd worlders somehow share
Western standards of behaviour and morality has, yet another crash with reality.
We had a tragic event like this in B.C. a few years back when a gravel truck lost it’s brakes on the hill leading to the B.C. ferry terminal at Horseshoe Bay.The truck crashed into a vehicle at the bottom,waiting in the ferry lineup. About five were killed. The truck was driven by a “South Asian”, it was found that only one wheel had a working brake, the rest were worn out.
The driver’s defence was that he was retarded, had the mental age of about 12 years old. Of course, he had no licence.
Cultural differences were taken into account in the trial. I don’t remember the outcome, but I’m sure the driver has gotten over his trauma and is now a useful productive citizen.
….I live 5 miles from Shiloh, and every time I drive past the battlefield I have the feeling of sadness and shame!
“You may talk o’ gin and beer
When you’re quartered safe out ’ere,
An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot;
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ’im that’s got it.”
Gunga Din
Do you think there was any PTSD after Shiloh? Nah. It hadn’t yet been invented.
During the first day of battle, 1/8 and maybe as much as 1/4 of the Union Army fled to Pittsburgh Landing to escape the slaughter. At least 5,000 and maybe as many as 10,000 men….. hiding and prepared to surrender. Most went on to redeem themselves later however. Probably happened with the Southern troops as well but history has no information about this.
Some parallels to the verbal civil war going on in the U.S. today. Character assassinations in the northern press: Sherman is Insane, Grant is a drunk, Lincoln is a rube. The irony of history.
“…every time I drive past the battlefield I have the feeling of sadness and shame!”
Shame? Are you sure you want that word here? At the dedication at Gettysburg Lincoln said:
“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth”
Upon the death of these soldiers, in letters to their parents, these words from President Abraham Lincoln:
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming.
But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln
I first heard those words in Speilberg’s ‘Saving Private Ryan’.
my fav scenes in the flic: the “He in Whom I trust” BANG stuff.
remember the cardinal rule of combat, if it really looks like yer goose is cooked, ALWAYS take as many of them with as you can.
the history channel keeps doing reruns of Hiroshima. BANG.
nips started the Pacific war in 1931 (google it), Col Tibbets & colleagues ended it in a matter of a few days. do the math.
and a resounding God Bless the American military !!!!

http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/astronaut-under-fire-for-quoting-churchill/ar-BBO8HtM?ocid=
I always thought astronauts were pretty cool dudes till Marc Garneau showed himself to be a Liberal scumbag. Now this dude backtracks on a pretty innocuous quote because its from that awful Winston Churchill. Jesus wept what a coward. He’s going to educate himself on Churchill’s atrocities and racist views…and he might want to get his balls out of his wife’s purse while reading a real history book or two. Of course he’s getting it from both sides now so maybe he doesn’t need them out in No Man’s Land.
“I always thought astronauts were pretty cool…”
then don’t type the name Julie Payette into the Gargle. Oh, how the celestial fall to earth in an ignominious blaze of entitlement….
I thought astronauts were pretty cool too.
Until I found it they are all Freemasons, and therefore liars.
You forgot Jesuits watto. Freemasons AND Jesuits. They’re both. A double wammy. I’ll bet some are also DEMOCRATS. The horror, the horror.
David, are you claiming that there are astronauts who aren’t Freemasons? Can you name a single Jesuit astronaut?
Or are you instead just mocking that which you haven’t researched?
C’mon, David.
We all know every astronaut or cosmonaut has to go through a secret initiation process run by Mossad, the Shriners and the Bilderberg Group, funded by George Soros under the direction of the Illuminati.
I suppose to most people, those are all just random shadowy organizations – some of which are secret societies and others of which are legitimate groups that attract distrust and conspiracy theorists. Of the secret society members though, surely all they do is wear funny hats and drive scooters, right?
Surely they’re no more nefarious than that, and have never infiltrated police precincts, law courts, the media, and politics.
And believing that that is all they are, what choice does one have but to mock those who point out facts involving members of those societies?
Although one has to wonder why anyone doesn’t take the Jesuits at their word. If you read their oaths, they clearly state what their goals are. I guess you’d have to believe they’ve been entirely unsuccessful for the last 500 years. And surely if they had any success, bright guys like JJM would figure it out and let the rest of us know.
I thought Garneau was okay until he abandoned the Liberal Party to Trudeau. He refused to campaign against Trudeau, pretty much spending the leadership campaign on his knees paying homage to Trudeau.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Garneau
Dr. Marc Garneau is too much of a gentleman to play street-fighting games with those lesser educated poseur politicians and their unelected henchmen.
Read his mini bio and see for yourself.
You are entitled to your opinions, of course. With all due respect, if I may, you, collectively, are incorrect in some things. To qualify my statement, I might remind you that Garneau ran in a BQ environment. ( lost to Meili Faille in Vaudreuil-Soulanges PQ. It was the era of the Sponsorship Scandal ) He then changed ridings for Westmount-NDG, a more Anglo one. Garneau tried for the leadership but lost to the sharks within the party.
IMO he ought to cross the floor and run for Andrew Scheer’s position. The next Federal election could yield another Trudeau disaster.
It is difficult to predict what Max Bernier will clobber together in the way of a National Party before the next election. By then the country will be left shattered. It is, already crumbling. A Conservative Government under Marc Garneau might be just what Canada needs to be saved. That is, provided the man is up to the challenge.
I guess timing is everything in politics.
Uhm, what kind of person looks at Adscam and all the evidence, and decides “That’s the party for me”.
No matter the intelligence, education, training, or advisers, in the end character is essential. Joining the Liberals is pretty much a disqualifier in my book.
Lets not forget that astronauts are just civil servants in Canada. Considering our space program they are not much different from bureaucrats except for their qualification to be passengers. I compare the smugness evident from Canadian astronauts to a video I saw of Story Musgrave at a Science Fiction Book awards convention. Interviewers wanted to talk about his career and hero worship him, but he was more interested in talking about the great books up for awards. He acted like being an astronaut was no different from long haul trucking, and with the number of flights and hours in space, he pretty much has it down to that kind of routine.

And then there is this scumbag in Kurdish custody. I guess the Liberals have to do the “right” thing and repatriate these Canadians? PM Payout could get some photos with them as they arrive at the airport.
Next to a link to that article on the National Newswatch site is a link to a Red Star series about the fears of “right-wing” groups by CSIS. The irony of the juxtaposition is probably unintended.

“Within the range of groups is a subset which either overtly, or under the guise of non-violent, cultural or religious preservation, focus their online hate towards Islam, Muslim immigrants, multiculturalism and those Canadian politicians who are seen as supporting Muslim-friendly legislation.”
I’m surprised single-payer health care isn’t on the list of things that should not be thought as well.
Don’t the Kurds know that ISIS members are to be captured while resisting arrest?
Conservatives. Death by cowardice.

With Trump dousing the dollar-fueled AGW flames, the UN is predictably (and desperately) trying to re-stoke the fire with its recent “repent or we’ll all die” report.

I have come to the realization that the climate cult cannot be defeated.They have all of human nature on their side.
They tell people that they have the power to control the planet; there is no counter to that. They appeal to vanity and it is an undefeatable strategy.
The world has reached peak narcissism, not peak stupidity.
I figure the climate change cult boils down to simple old greed: the craving for money and power….. fueled by gullibility, stupidity, and cowardice.
The Climate Cultist marches hand in hand with the Neo-Marxist and their numbers are growing rapidly. They move to subjugate the populace “for their own good”. The populace is too full of the human nature that will trade “comfort” for liberty. The definition of comfort will be determined by the new Stasi.
Read the Emperors New Clothes, the parallels are stunning.
Almost word for word.
All these virtue signalling emperors of the Bureau, are really naked,fat & ugly.
21 century intelligence test.
The coming cool phase of the climate/weather cycle will turn more peoples BS detectors on.
Just remember we measure Global Warming in feet.
All that lovely white stuff as the atmosphere cools.
Soon enough we will put those who betrayed our public trust out so they may enjoy the “Warming”.
It is impossible that they might be freezing to death,they told us;” 97% agree it is warming.”
The climate cult is funded by the enemies of Western industrial capitalism, who induce us to waste money on windmills while the Chinese develop the technology necessary to defeat us in battle and enslave or exterminate us.
See off the globalists and you won’t hear another word about global warming.
You chop down a tree at the base, and you kill a snake by chopping off its head.

Thank goodness for SDA. other political blogs on the right, a few small independent media outlets scattered here and there and brave souls like Brian Lilley, Barbara Kay, Rex Murphy, and in the linked article article, Catherine Swift, who wrote the following. There are some others, but far and few in-between. The Frankfurt School has basically won this battle.
“But what could explain the lack of even-handed news reporting by the vast majority of the privately-held television stations, radio networks and many well-established newspapers? There are undoubtedly a number of factors at play, but one of them is certainly the reality that, over the past 30 years or so, virtually all mainstream media outlets have become unionized. About 15 years ago, I recall being interviewed by a reporter from a newspaper that would typically be described as reasonably conservative. We were discussing a labour-related issue, and as I made some comments critical of labour unions in the context of our conversation, the reporter said to me “You know we have to be more careful now – we were recently unionized.”

From the Bard: “He’ll is Murky”
https://youtu.be/Askk6AL7a9o
When were the Democrats civil to Republicans Hillary? Not since you came on the scene along with your misogynist husband.
Hillary, who has failed at every political thing she has tried, except for her free ride to the Senate, is now expecting a free ride for all Democrats, giving advice to her fellow DeMarxist fascists about going after Republicans they want to destroy, who are destroying their access to power.
Hillary is the projector in chief, that is close as she’ll ever get to the presidency.
Remember fascists, who see rights, privileges and due process as something they decide based on identity, fail time and time again to acknowledge their hypocrisy, circular reasoning or projection of their hateful (of Republicans and the American people) views.
All they care about is power and access to the treasury to line their pockets and lord over the population.

Doing good!
“Over 100 children were found safe during a one-day sweep by multiple Michigan law enforcement agencies, the US Marshals Service said Wednesday.
The agency said Operation MISafeKid recovered 123 missing children Sept. 26 throughout Wayne County in a sweep aimed to identify and recover missing children and locate victims of sex trafficking.
The operation had 301 case files for missing children open before the sweep, which was the first of its kind in Wayne County, according to the report.
All recovered children were interviewed by authorities about possibly being sexually victimized or used in a sex trafficking ring and officials said three identified as possible sex trafficking cases.”
