  1. Three Canadian Pacific Rail Crew Members Killed In Derailment

    Three CP Rail crew members have died after a freight train derailed near the Alberta-B.C. border.

    The accident happened close to Field, B.C., around 1 am.

    The train fell about 200 feet off the bridge at the Upper & Lower Spiral Tunnels.

    According to the union, the three deceased individuals are a conductor, a locomotive engineer, and a trainee conductor.

    Prayers for the families.

    1. Poor bastards. What a way to go.

      Seems it was travelling over twice the recommended speed in a dangerous stretch. Preliminary speculation points toward brake or other equipment failure.

      1. I’m not sure about how this works, but the last I heard is that for some reason the train was parked for three hours after a crew change and lost the air and the train started to move with no way to stop it.

    2. This is OT and unrelated to the sad story of 3 dead CPR rail roaders but the railway should never have been built through Kicking Horse Pass. Howse pass just to the north would have been the correct route over the mountains but for inexplicable reasons Howse Pass was overlooked.

    3. Was saddened to hear this news. My condolences to the families.
      I just travelled through this area (on bus) a few days ago. Going west from Alberta from the top of the Kicking Horse pass to the bottom at Field BC is about a 400 meter descent in about 5 Km. The spiral tunnels are about halfway down this big hill. I looked out and saw the railway tracks and thought about the brave men who drive the trains through here.

    1. This has not been announced by the State Owned Propagandists Organs (Media) in Canada. But Pres. Trump by EO just banned all Canadian supply of Goods and Services from all US Government Funded Infrastructure projects in the USA. This is Billions per year in lost revenue. Trudeau and Freelandia win again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSf_65QPu54

    This morning, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke retweeted my message condemning Trump’s past support of late term abortions. Duke said it is “forgiveable”. But Trump himself tweeted today that the VA Gov’s KKK pic and support for late term abortion is “UNFORGIVABLE”. #Hypocrisy

    Israeli Prime Minister Donald Trump is expected to name Elan Carr as US Anti-Semitism Envoy. In 2016, Sheldon #Adelson gave #Carr $100,000 to help him win LA County supervisor race. He donated tens of millions to the 2016 #Trump campaign as well. Adelson is 1 of Trump’s bosses.

  3. Conversations with John Anderson: Featuring Melanie Phillips

    “There is a fight to the death by two views of the world, only one of which can win. Liberty and national identity hang in the balance …for Britain and America” (+Canada, Aus./N.Z.?)

    ————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    No one phrases the crisis as clearly as British journalist and authour, Melanie Phillips.

    Here in conversation with former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, John Anderson.

    1. Melanie is right. Slowly but surely liberty, along with democracy, is being strangled. I would point toward Marxism as the disease infection.

    1. That reminds me of the old joke: “I never asked to be born and, had I been asked, I would have said no.”

    1. A sunshine tax will be next. All those deplorables using all that daylight is going to cause the sun to become dark that much sooner, therefore they have to be taxed.

  4. National Post website reports that during the last fake election in Venezuela, Canada’s unions sent a delegation down there to observe. They reported that Venezuela has a vibrant and wonderful democracy, and Maduro is wonderful. Delegation included UNIFOR, Secondary Teachers Federation, Postal Workers. and other union reps. A delegate from the United Church Of Canada was also included. FIGHT FOR SOCIALISM!!

      1. Socialism is the forerunner to Communism, it’s all about taking control of the masses in the guise of taking care of them, convincing them they know what’s best for them.

        The Liberals are already on track, another term will really allow more progression towards that goal. Legalizing Cannabis is part of the plan, enough people get high and they have their way with them!

        Having a Prime Minister who admires Commie dictatorships should be enough of a clue for people with a functioning brain.

        1. Ontario John, LindaL, and Liz J, see Larry’s Tip above.

          The Frankfurt School has done its work well.

        2. The delegate from the Ontario Secondary Teacher’s Federation states that we can learn a lot from elections in Venezuela. These people are teaching our kids.

    ‘Costa is also concerned that, according to his figures, 80 per cent of Canada’s non-financial stocks are not cash flow positive. Those numbers are in stark contrast to the economy reaching full employment.
    “How can you have such a strong and tight labour market at the same time that companies are not making any money?” he asked.’

    1. Ridiculous if they are actually faking appearances, but quite believable that they would do this. Democrats these days are increasingly looking like insane Soviets.

    2. As I said a few days ago, wait for a photo of RBG swimming in the Potomac. She is probably nowhere near a state where she should still be a member of the SC, but in this bizarre world they might delay her death notice or deflect the fact she’s no longer capable until after the 2020 election.

      What the hell they’ll do IF the Democrats don’t win, we can only speculate.

  6. The media is excited that whiny indians want cities and towns in Alberta renamed with indian names.

    1. Yeah,I just can’t wait to see Edmonton renamed,”klunx’utanx’w7!@ see?8 qwee-ville”.

      How do you pronounce it,you ask? Ed-mon-ton.

    2. Just like in B. C., perhaps the most notable of which are the Formerly-known-as-the-Queen-Charlotte Islands, now called Haida Something-or-other.

      Prinz Dummkopf, no doubt, will wade into this one, complete with waterworks.

  7. I am enjoying the US Democrats and their goal to be the tax kings heading into the next election (showing their true colors).

    Rich New Yorkers are changing their domicile to low tax out-of-state jurisdictions to escape the punishingly high New York tax rates and that is leading to a revenue decline (snif)…

    https://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/state-budget-revenue-decline-1.26892647

    What the tax supporters are not talking about is how you go from paying 37% tax at $500,001 income to 70% tax at $10 million. We’re going to need a lot of tax brackets. A billionaires tax will eventually turn into a millionaires tax which will … we all know … turn into a tax increase for the middle class who pay most of the taxes anyway.

    The 37% to 70% tax rates are federal only. If you live in California add an extra 12.3% to get 49.3% currently and potentially over 80% of the money you earn is taken away as tax.

  8. The “War on Masculinity” “IS!!!” the “War on WHITE PEOPLE” (they don’t differentiate between the sexes) and the the War on being a,”White, Male,Female (Anglo saxon or any other ethnic group), whatever religious group you affiliat.. Republican (TRUMP VOTER!!!) Note the last!!
    They can “War” all they want with their “pussy hats!”
    It’s all “Bovine Charlie, Romeo, Alfa, Papa!!!
    The War on Masculinity “IS” the War on White People!!
    Just remember,
    (found this on the’net’ last night….)
    “You Know the BRAINWASHING is REAL
    When WHITE PEOPLE
    Protest against WHITE PEOPLE
    For BEING ….WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!”

  9. 14 Years After Becoming Transgender, Teacher Says ‘It Was A Mistake’
    After much soul-searching, this teacher says, ‘I have come to the realization that I made a mistake. I am living my life as honestly as I can.’

    Fourteen years ago, school teacher Herb McCaffrey made the local news by deciding to live as a female with the name Kerri. After much soul-searching, however, this teacher says, “Since then I have come to the realization that I made a mistake. I am living my life as honestly as I can. I am working as ‘Ms. McCaffrey.’ I have learned to love both the reading and writing of poetry. I try to be as graceful in life as I can. I put my heart and soul into being the best I can be. God is there for me each step of the way—but only by being totally honest in prayer.”

    1. He’s an important figure in modern history. Destroying the monument should be discouraged but taking a dump on KM’s monument should be heartily encouraged on a daily basis.

        1. Don’t laugh. My mother grew up in the outskirts of Berlin where they grew their own vegetables and kept a goat. They had a one-holer. Guess what was used for fertilizer in their garden?

      1. If I may, I would offer taking a dump on it and then taking a hammer to it. The monster was responsible for a couple of hundred million deaths, and, trust me, there will be more deaths attributable to this monster.

    1. Who knew the chimney sweeps and nannies of the industrial revolution were appropriators of black culture? LMAO.

    1. Yes, but what of the ageism, oh the humanity – from the former leader of Identist Zimbobrae.

      Reminds me of the time when Reagan referred to his POTUS opponent, Bob Dole:

      “I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”

    1. I’m not surprised at the one with the dachshund and the ball launcher. They’re smart dogs and can easily figure out things like that.

      And then there’s the one who served as a tool caddy….

      The memorial ball carton reminds me of a tourist information centre I stopped at when I made some road trips to my house two years ago. The staff put a metal bowl filled with water near the entrance with a reminder that dogs get thirsty, too.

    1. Ezra is a gem. I once shook his hand and squeezed it, telling him how much I missed his TV Show on the now defunct Sun News Channel. He was very gracious. I support him totally.

      He and his team are doing a bang up job. This is the most passionate that I’ve ever seen him. It was an excellent report. The Canadian Media should all be fired for not reporting this, it proves that Canada is fini.

      This country is so doomed under the likes of the criminals in office. I see Ezra pointed out that Justin visited David Axelrod last year. As I’ve been saying, he must’ve brought Axelrod some cold hard cash to help out with the busloads of imported voters coming to toke up here next Fall. What else does Justin need to see this guy about? Justin was so giddy that he was staggering on the job. Quelle horror!

      As for Freeland, that purple-people-eater, she is all too selfish for words. Going to a French Rosedale school to improve HER French?

      One of the comments after this 32 minute video was that Trudeau ought to get dropped out of a plane on top of the nearest active volcano for a direct trip straight to hell!

      Ah, okey dokey.
      Can’t wait to hear Trump’s State of the Union Address this evening!

      1. I remember reading his long letters and commentaries in the University of Alberta student newspaper The Gateway during the early and mid-1990s. He was much the same back then like he is now.

      2. The house I inherited from my father is located in NE B. C., a region of the country which the leftist elite, particularly that in Lotusland, regards as flyover country because many of the people there would be considered members of the deplorables. During the course of my work there in the last two years, I’ve dealt with a variety of people, including contractors who come by the house to buy some of my father’s tools.

        I’ve yet to meet anyone who has anything good to say about Prinz Dummkopf and his merry gang of bunglers. Then again, since that region is in a remote part of the country and the riding covers a large geographical area, what anybody thinks there won’t matter in an election. Unless voters there elect a Lieberal MP, whoever represents them in Ottawa will most certainly be ignored by the government.

        1. to B A for the 2:20 pm post and Ken K at 10:37 pm :
          Thanks for your posts here today.

          Just saw tonight’s SOTU Address by President Trump. IMO it was the best speech by any U.S.President. I cried when he introduced Soldiers & Camp Survivors from WWII. Bravo, Mr President.

          On the contrary, the Democrats in the House were miserable looking people, running on hate. It will be interesting to hear what the body language experts have to say about them, especially Nancy Pelosi. That cow was distracting the viewers by chewing on her regurgitated dinner and munching on the left side of her silly mouth. She spent a lot of time shuffling papers behind Trump. What a mental case! The Dems who did not applaud President Trump this evening should be ashamed of themselves because he knocked it out of the park. The accomplishments that he has made for that country are phenomenal. He casual demeanor listing those, was very moving. Trump was masterful and relaxed giving this speech and that will go far for him in 2020.

          One of the highlights was when Trump said that America will never become a Socialist country! I could not believe my eyes when Pelosi, Schumer and other Democrats stood up to applaud this comment. Miss Occasional-Kortex did not. The stone faces were priceless. Ha…and Bernie Saunders looked defeated and slumped in his seat! Miserable old galoot!

          It is 11:40 pm Eastern time and here is some Breaking News:
          Brace yourselves: a new poll from CBS:
          76% of viewers just approved the SOTU Address!

  10. Justin Case You Were Wondering

    Apparently the world needs more from Canada. Things to ponder…….

    Here is a short list to remind Canada why we should have never elected a cute rich kid who has never really worked in his life:
    At the G7 he pledged $400 Million to Education around the world along with another $180 Million to the Global Partnership for Education in Europe. None of it is going to fix our messed up school systems here at home. Meanwhile education costs are skyrocketing for our youth, making university a mountain too high for many to climb.
    He pledged $241 Million to Family Planning around the world including a $20 Million donation to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation (cause they have integrity!). This all happened while he told vets that they were asking for too much.
    He pledged $2.65 Billion to climate change at the Commonwealth Leaders Summit and now he is trying to bully the provinces into new taxes to pay for this pledge.
    He pledged $300 Million to the Rohingya Refugee crisis while we have a refugee crisis of our own flooding into the provinces that he won’t address.
    He pledged $125 Million to Caribbean Reconstruction while our own infrastructure in cities is falling apart.
    He pledged $650 million to Sexual and Reproductive health in Haiti and around the globe wanting safer abortions for women, while many women in our own country are left without a family doctor.
    He has pledged $50 million to Palestine for flood relief when NB had some of the worst flooding in decades this past spring.
    He pledged $840 million to Syria for Humanitarian Assistance when half the native reserves in our country don’t have clean drinking water.
    He gave $10.5 Million to a convicted… CONVICTED terrorist in a backroom deal that has led to another $30.8 Million paid out for three other terrorists who say they were wrongfully detained.
    And just recently he spent $4.5 Billion on a pipeline. And now the courts have ruled it shut down. Good investment for Canada he said.
    THAT IS OVER $10 BILLION DOLLARS… and none of it stays in our country… None!!!
    Excuse me… except the 4.5 Billion dollar pipeline that cannot be built.

    REMEMBER THIS WHEN VOTING DAY COMES AROUND.

  11. It seems Mr. Scheer is behind the curve on another issue. Another Trudeau gift refused? He must up his game NOW.

    “Quebec is the only province where Canadians must file two separate tax returns and the Quebec government wants Ottawa to allow the two tax systems to merge — with Quebec administering the process.”

    Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has promised to make a single tax form for Quebecers one of his first priorities if he wins the next election and today the party has introduced a motion calling on Parliament to endorse the idea.”

    The Liberals say they will not support it.”

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is the federal government’s responsibility to collect federal taxes and Ottawa should not cede that responsibility to a province.”

    I agree wholeheartedly, let every province administer and collect their own income tax to keep grubby federal Grit paws off.

    Are you listening Mr Kenney?

  12. Think Harper’s cabinet minister buying an eight dollar glass of orange juice is bad. The National Post reports that Great Leader Groper spent 12 million dollars on car rentals for the G7 meeting. This is in addition to the 23 million dollars the RCMP spent on new cars for the meeting. Cars which they then sold at auction a month later.

    1. It seems that whenever the Alberta provincial government gets involved with business, it doesn’t end good. This goes even as far back as when Getty decided to diversify the economy by supporting all sorts of companies, many of which were mired in controversy and were close to going belly up. Does the name NovAtel ring a bell? How about that magnesium plant in–where was it–High River.

      This venture by Red Rachel is a stinker and the citizens will be paying through the nose for it.

  13. After all the posturing and shrieks of “Victory”. “Orange man loser” from Canada,or at least the juveniles in our federal Government and their Presstitutes, is anyone surprised that president Trump would ignore Canadian interests that conflict with American?

    Now sure this only applies to Federal Government projects.So hardly any effect ,at least thats what CBC will maintain.

    Ezra strikes again,we could run a sweepstake as to when CBC might report this executive order that cuts off Canadian Industry.
    Industry in Canada is in big trouble,selling into the USA market is the holy grail of Canadian producers.
    That 40c dollar was a sarcastic joke,but everything Boy Blunder and the Buttmobile do makes it more likely.
    I heard some ambassador on CBC bemoaning the way President Trump is treating his “allies”, too stupid to understand the USA does not regard Canada as such.
    And Canada has gone out of its way to advise the USA that we are not allied with their goals.
    Cannot cure stupid.
    To proudly display ones Trump Derangement Syndrome and then complain that “Trump” does not act nice toward you, defies reason.

    Even an emotional retard should understand that dissing a man and then demanding he respect you, might not work out as you plan..
    I figure this will get reported in Canada the same way the CRU emails were.
