Reader Tips 47 Comments

I’m heading out later today for an 11 day road trip to points west. I’ll do my best to catch up in the evenings whenever possible (and I have several interesting items saved and scheduled), but expect blogging to be intermittent.

Your tips in the comments.

  4. The President is on his twitter game with that one PP. Haa. For those not aware, people started teasing Acosta on twitter after his hissy fit over losing his Whitehouse press pass. Then someone started their tweet “Dear Diary” teasing Acosta that his “reporting” is all about him. It drove him NUTS. He made it known he didn’t appreciate it and of course the flood gates opened. Now the President is in on it? Classic.
    Sometimes I wonder if Acosta is secretly paid by the Trump Admin because he seems to help the Pres more than hinder.

  6. Saskatoon man left bleeding, freezing after struggle with home invaders while naked

    ————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
    L- Before Canada’s restrictive gun laws, we had a 500 percent higher rate of home invasions than did the U.S. of A. . Given that home invasions are now so common in the news. It seems like a week or so between news of the next one, which is a fraction of what is really happening out there. Rule of law, not in Canada.

    The Right to self-defence is derived from the Common-Law Right to Life. Cult. Marxists don’t believe in the concept of individual Rights, only identity group ones. Whether in the S.C.C., Parliament or the Mendacious Mainstream Media, the elevated status of violent criminals has become most evident.

    A few years ago, in Saskatoon, a Westside gangs broke into a/the major drug dealer’s house on the east side. One of the gangsta’s was killed by someone in the house using a shotgun. No charges where filed against anyone in the house. With a single deceased witness, getting a conviction not so easy and the ability to afford the best of lawyers. The only case of self-defence against a home invader, in recent memory, that didn’t result in the home owner being charged with something or other.

    No one who lives in The Hood or elsewhere believes the police can or can even promise to protect any one.

    “He who runs the streets, runs the town.” modern proverb

    1. A few years ago while living in Washington State, I would hear radio news with typical stories like, “Police are searching for a suspect of a home invasion believed to be wounded…” Compare that to the Lower mainland where the equivalent news story would be something like, “An elderly couple in East Vancouver were found dead in their home this morning. Police suspect gang members were involved in another home invasion…”

      I’ll never forget the arrogant prick and elitist Minister of Justice , Alan Rock, claiming that “Canadians did not have the right to defend their own lives with guns”. Canadians prove the theory of frogs in a pot being slowly raised to boiling temperature without hopping out.

      1. And the police chiefs of Canada liars are all on board with only having criminals armed. That way they can get even more police “on the street” with higher violent crimes stats while the Police Associations can ask for more money. In T.O. they call it “retention pay”. (Years later Ottawa Firefighters were getting it – big WTF?) I don’t want to crap on cops but they use incidents like Mayerthorpe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayerthorpe_tragedy as examples instead of exceptions.
        Alienating law-abiding citizens is spitting in the eye of an ally. A very lonely strategy.

    2. Larry is 100% correct. In 2004 the SCOC ruled that you have the right to defend your own life, even with an illegally concealed illegal weapon.
      Nobody in the msm paid much attention to the ruling. It has never been used in a court reference yet it was a majority ruling.
      The Supreme Court dismissed all charges, and even went so far as to include The Magna Carta Rights of self defensive.
      This means that despite all the BS by the Police and the Government Canadians have the same inalienable Rights to Self Defense as American’s. Granted by the Magna Carta. The case was 2004 Kerr vs. Regina. It was a very significant ruling in Canadian history and completely ignored by the public.

  9. Some news (from yesterday (January 11, 2018): Treasury Board Minister Scott Brison is retiring!! A major news story, eh?

    1. BREAKING NEWS FOR TODAY (FRIDAY)! Justin Trudeau will announce a CABINET SHUFFLE on Monday, given Scott Bridon’s departure! Stop the presses!!

  11. Great Leader Kim Jung Trudeau reminded everyone in Regina last night, that all of Canada’s problems are Harper’s fault. Don’t be a Nazi bastard, vote Team Trudeau!

    1. Or, in in politically-correct parlance, he has been “dehired”.

      On a related topic, one wonders about how many shenanigans, similar to what was done by this dehired video editor, actually goes on, flying under the radar. The dehired editor’s handiwork was caught by an alert blogger. But there is a corrupt world out there, surrounding the nasty pc media.

      Sorry! This post should appear as a reply to Steve from Rockwood’s post directly above.

  14. David Rosenberg gave a speech at the Empire Club on Thursday on this year’s financial outlook. In his opinion we are either headed for a serious slowdown or a full blown recession and it’s already started (Q4 2018 will be weak, and Q1 2019 will be down). Head for safe waters. He blamed the coming recession on over-tightening of interest rates in the US by the FED.

    Later the head of the TSX joked that Rosenberg (a permanent bear) had been wrong on Japan in 2018 (so don’t believe everything he says).

    The peppercorn chicken had no peppercorns.

  16. Speaking of small dead animals …..

    Europe: A Failed Mouse Paradise

    http://dyspepsiageneration.com/?p=181499

    There’s a Read It link and, there, a fascinating video by the scientific site “Brilliant”.

    What happens if you meet everyone’s needs, give them all the creature comforts they could want while removing sources of conflict and strife?
    –
    They quit. They stop living. They lose all interest in having sex. The entire civilization ends up dying out. What is amazing is that while this is obviously true (and playing out in real time in Europe and Japan and elsewhere), it is also true in the animal kingdom, where a mouse-utopia ended up with every mouse dead.

  17. The CBC is excited that Canada’s busiest highway, the 401 in Ontario is being blockaded by whiny indians. The slow moving caravan is backing up traffic for miles as they protest the treatment of the Big Frog Clan and its old women that can’t pick berries in B.C. They are demanding that hereditary chiefs be obeyed rather than elected band councils. Fight for indian fascism!!! Thankyou Justin for turning Canada into a social justice nightmare.

    1. It is called fomenting class warfare. Liberals love this adoption of Lenin’s Marxist tactic to create turmoil in society and thus allow them to arbitrate with more laws and regulations.

    2. Canadians need to start closing off WHITE towns to Indians. Charge them special road fees as soon as you see them drive in, demand payments right at the side of the road. Same shakedown they do in Northern Alberta and BC.

  18. The Canadian debt load has increased $80 billion in the last four years.

    To provide Canadians with a snap shot of our financial health as we head into the New Year, the Canadian public policy thinktank Fraser Institute published a sober assessment of the country’s current economic affairs. The key take-away from the Institute’s review is that Canada’s economy is underperforming and Canadians are just beginning to feel the impact. Although Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s Fall Economic Statement provided us with a reassuring review of our county’s economic prospects, the fact is the Canadian economy expanded by a mere 2.1 per cent in the past year. That is nearly a full percentage point below the United States at 3.0 per cent. As it is, Canada is an unattractive economy; a point of fact – foreign investment in Canada is down 55 per cent over the past five years.

  19. Watched small potato strutting around at a so called town hall meeting in Regina,the utter arrogance of the small potato is hard to watch.If you were sitting having a beer with a few guys there is usually one asshole ,he would be that guy

    1. If PM PantsOnFire had his way non-Canadians would get to vote as well. Its not like he believes Canada is a nation, only K-Bec.

    2. I’m sure the CRA will make the argument that if you voted in a Canadian election you consider yourself a Canadian resident. Thus you have to file a Canadian tax return.

      Hey expats, Turdeau would like your votes, but he really wants your money!

  22. Lie of the day: “Kingston police say each driver is innocent until proven guilty — even if there are several reports of impaired driving against them.”
    As we all know when it comes to ‘drinking and driving’, you are guilty until proven otherwise in this oh so free country.

  24. Oh Noooo! The Toronto Star reports that Doug Ford went to a Sir John A. Macdonald dinner. Ford obviously supports genocide of indians. He is literally Hitler.

  27. Oil producers paying to have their oil hauled away? Sad! Thanks to Trudeau and the rest of his criminal gang. Yes, I used the term ‘criminal’, as deliberately destroying the economy of the prairies is a criminal act, legal maybe, but criminal in nature.

    ‘It was during our first meeting in that Bennett Jones office where he asked me the rhetorical question: ‘who owns the resources Brad?’ “The people own them,” I replied. “Remember that then as you develop your natural resource development policy” he added.

    There is no denying how serious the matter is. The rest of the country, even as they become increasingly aware of the gravity of the differential situation are still, in the main, unaware of negative net-backs. The spectre of oil producers paying to have their oil hauled away when things were at their worst late last fall is not widely known.’

    https://energynow.ca/2019/01/brad-wall-if-curtailment-is-where-we-are-improvements-should-be-on-the-table/?source=de&wtv

    This reminds me of farmers selling rail cars of their grain in the 1930s and having a net hauling bill. It was almost as bad in the 1960s . Mostly the fault of the Wheat Board.

  32. Let me fix that misleading and false narrative for you, (revisions in caps); cross-filed under “no sh*t Sherlock:

    “In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s ELECTION/behavior that they began investigating WITHOUT EVIDENCE/whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former DISGRACED law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.”

    The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, took over the inquiry into Mr. Trump when he was PASSED OVER TO REPLACE COMEY/appointed, days after F.B.I. officials opened it. That inquiry is part of Mr. Mueller’s broader examination of how Russian operatives interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Trump associates conspired with them. It is unclear whether Mr. Mueller is still pursuing the counterintelligence matter, and some former law enforcement officials outside the investigation have questioned whether agents overstepped in opening it.”

    The criminal and counterintelligence elements were coupled together into one investigation, BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GAVE HILLARY A PASS WHO HATED TRUMP’S GUTS AND NEEDED AN INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST CULPABILITY ON THEIR PART/former law enforcement officials said in interviews in recent weeks, because if Mr. Trump had ousted the head of the F.B.I. to impede or even end the Russia investigation, that was both a possible crime and a national security concern. The F.B.I.’s counterintelligence division handles national security matters.”

    If the president had fired Mr. Comey to stop the Russia investigation, the action would have been a national security issue because it naturally IT IS TOTALLY WITHIN POTUS AUTHORITY AND PURVIEW/would have hurt the bureau’s effort FRAME TRUMP/ to learn how Moscow TOOK OUT FACEBOOK ADS/ interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Americans were ILLEGALLY SURVEILLED/involved, according to James A. Baker, who served as F.B.I. general counsel until late 2017 BEFORE HE WAS DISMISSED IN DISGRACE. He privately testified in October before House investigators who were examining the F.B.I.’s handling of the full Russia inquiry AS OF 21 MAR/16 WHEN TRUMP ANNOUNCED GEORGE PAPADOPOLOUS AND CARTER PAGE WERE FOREIGN POLICY ADVISORS.”

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-opened-inquiry-into-whether-trump-was-secretly-working-on-behalf-of-russia/ar-BBS83LZ?fdhead=newflex-views

    Maybe the news of the FBI’s abuse of authority and attempt to frame Trump is going mainstream, thus this rearguard action.
    No evidence two years later, but apparently the secret GRAND JURY (eww, scary) has been extended (coincidence alert).
    Are they storing their fake news provisions for Trump’s all out attack on these selfish statists seditionists? One can only hope.
