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."

Not much can be said. The idiots on the left are outdoing themselves when it comes to stupid hyperbole. It is amazing that they can actually lie so easily.
Not really. You can do many things much more easily if you have no conscience. It hasn’t surprised me in a long time.
Jason Kenney, the White Debil himself has been elected in Alberta. He gonna hurt Justina’s feelings. The poh widdle frwench cheezy greasy poutine fry. Dah dang White NAZI’s are ebber were. Deh ebben under dee bed now. expect cross burnings and lynchins. What is even worse he is going to end the Star Chamber Human Rights BS. The Star Chambers will have to follow normal court rules of evidence and challenge.
I offer my sincere congratulations and appreciation to all Albertan’s who voted (in the most Trumpian-manner), to throw off the chains of the Communist left in your Province. The psychotic Communist Left have demonstrated how they HATE their subjects. How they LOVE $$$ … POWER … and CONTROL. But they are empty-headed FOOLS. I pray for SWIFT changes in the policies that have so devestatingly hurt the people of Alberta. I pray that MY President facilitates delivery of Albertan oil through MY Country.
morning y’all from deep blue Calgary
What can one say Ezra..?
Chris Selley is just another Red Tory Supporter, along the lines of that champagne conservative Andrew Coyne. No one cares anymore… The Left is unhinged, screeches uncontrollably and continually while it eats it’s own.
The only real NAZI’s in this country reside in the PMO…and as per Watcher, the Human Rights Councils….where in Perfect NAZI form, truth is neither weighed or counted.
Well, I will be the happiest guy in Canada if the future proves me wrong, but other than the carbon tax, when it comes to things green Kenney is in lockstep with Scheer, who (along with every sheep in his caucus) supported turdo la doo on the Paris Climate Accord.
Here’s Kenney:
“We Albertans love our natural environment, and seek to preserve it. We take seriously the challenge of climate change.”
We’ll see……
Kenney is right to say that, he’s letting the enviro wackos know the oil sands is not hurting the environment.
If the stupid can’t be out smarted there’s no hope.
Agreed,JM.I hope Kenney has the good sense to pull a “Chretien” on the Paris Accord by agreeing wholeheartedly with everyone who brings the subject up, then does exactly nothing about implementing the damned thing.
This keeps a nervous public happy and industry can get on with their work.
We shall see if Kenney is a blunt object conservative or a guy who spends his time fighting public battles that do nothing for the economy of Alberta. The examples of Left wing quackery Ezra had on his show proves we have been far to acquiescent for far too long.
Kenney also said during the televised leaders debate that he takes climate change seriously and will seriously tax the largest carbon emitters.
The Chinese, Americans and India. That’s what he meant right?
Haha! Nope
Listen to Kenney’s own words
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjb_avR2ar0
starting at 59:30
Kenny: “We need to take the challenge of climate change seriously! That’s why the United Conservatives have proposed a levy on major emitters that would reduce carbon by about 70 megatons from our economy”
Kenney is drinking the global warming bullshit.
The Nazi is at Global Affairs, whose minister insults the memory of the Six Million by having ever been born.
Have you heard the media and associate snowflakes freaking out over Ford? Alberta’s turn.
I think we have been living that in Alberta and Saskatchewan since the NEP, sport. It never really ended, despite “some people did something”.
I hope Kenny is investigating the Alaskan’s take on harnessing the oil and gas industry in western Canada, through a rail and pipeline corridor to Valdez Alaska. Vancouver would be bypassed and isolated as the shipping distances to Asia are several days shorter that even US west coast ports.
It would only take a small shift to move the Alaska Hwy out of NE BC and engage the NWT and Yukon on the re-positioning of that route to their territory and then on to Valdez, as it currently exists. The Highway is already in place, the pipeline (WW2 vintage) is just off the road in most places so, building a railway plus pipelines would not be too expensive or “disturb” the environment much more than the existing Hwy corridor already does.
Think Big Kanaduh.
Sport? I love a lot of them. Which one did you have in mind?
All he needs to say is “I say to the bleeding hearts out there: “Let them bleed” as a famous Canadian once said..”
Had to watch Manning’s sad effort to explain the West once more on CTV. I was stunned when Reform supposedly voted 95% to move into eastern Canada. Stunned because most of the Reformers I knew did not support that. Manning wanted it and got it. As a result where do we sit 30 years later?
Many Reformers wanted to organize provincially and even at the municipal level. Western Canada could have become a single power structure within Canada. Perhaps this was naive considering political realities but with a strong philosophical framework there was a chance. Instead the Reform effort died in Ottawa and we are left with a single hope that Kenney can actually get true representation in this country. The issue will be how far is he willing to go to get it. He has to be prepared to threaten everything held dear by eastern Canadians who have raped the West for hundreds of years.
Progressive forces will inevitably begin their effort to infiltrate the UCP of Alberta to neuter whatever effort is made. That combined with a corrupt media and a federal government that cannot operate without Western money will likely defeat Kenney or corrupt his intent to the point of irrelevance. IMHO Kenney is likely the last effort at a negotiated reconciliation with the West. The fiscal collapse of Canada is almost certain no matter what government is in power. If a ‘black swan’ event speeds up this eventuality then Kenney makes no difference. The social contract between the people and government is disintegrating. 46% of the population is $200 away from bankruptcy?
Stelmach and Redford (the U.N. plant) were leftists and infiltrated the provincial PC’s. That’s when Alberta starting circling the toilet bowl. They have been exorcised. Now, the UCP must change its method of selecting leaders so another leftist plant doesn’t run up the middle.
Joey, you’re absolutely bang-on. I worked on Alberta provincial leadership campaigns for candidates other than Stelmach and Redford only to my dismay when both of those left-wingers beat out the true conservatives. That’s the big drawback to ranked voting; you end up with a compromise candidate.
Parson Manning was an idiot with a big EGO. Every average Albertan knew he was an idiot, “The West Wants IN” Bullshit Parson, 1Trillion in Colonial RAPE is enough. You helped hold down Alberta for that RAPE, along with your protégé Harper the LIAR. Don’t talk so stupid Parson you were unelectable Provincially so you played your hand now go lay down.
has Kennedy got the aircraft carriers out on the streets yet?????
Kennedy? Wrong country…..wrong time.
damn auto correct….that was Kenney , before auto correct screwed it up. My reference was to the libtards saying Harper would have “tanks” in the streets:-)))
Exactly CT!
The suggested tactics and course of action that Ezra suggests would just be defeated in the highest court.
Manning successfully deflected western anger. We do not have time to try other approaches to repair CON-federation.
Let’s get out.
Free the West
In terms of going after Tides, I will believe it when I see it. Has he appropriated anything from these people? Has he imposed a 25,000,000% tax on anyone who has ever accepted a foreign donation? On a protestor who has cashed a cheque from Soros? Has he removed the tax free status from every charity in the province?
And in terms of “he had already won, he did not have to say that unless he really meant it”.
That is something I will believe when I see it too. In the history of the world, politicians have perhaps actually meant what they said maybe three times, total. Worldwide. In terms of saying things they did not have to say; WHO CARES? Only actions counts. Words have zero value (see NAZI, islamophobe, transphobe, cisgender, …).
Until this “Kenney” guy actually delivers something… Until someone is locked up, or executed publicly… Until he asks for more than a legal opinion…
Actually Kev…the ONLY politicians I know that actually mean what they say are Islamic Ones, them I believe 100%
“DEATH to the Jews”
“DEATH to the Infidels”….yet no one other than the Israelis listens, right?
“That is something I will believe when I see it too. ”
“Kenney said…Kenney said…Kenney said…Kenney said…” so say the faithful who ignore history.
I too will believe it when I see.
Kenney was/is a Progressive Conservative. They’re LIARS. They promise things they cannot do. They say one thing and do another.
One last thing. Anyone who sees all the foreign money holding up Ottawa, and all 3 of the main political parties, and the fifth column in the civil service…
And still thinks Canada has a future? Well, you’re too stupid to even breath, or feed yourself. It’s over.
Anyone who still thinks that “the rest of canada needs to be convinced (or can be) to leave our resources alone”… Clearly there is not a word, in any language, to describe the immensity of that kind of stupidity.
https://prairiefreedom.ca/index.html
Yep to stupid for words is right, Canadians are like the guy who went to the big Queer Salesman Convention and woke up with a hangover and a sore asshole, then phoned Mommy. Mom my ass is sore and it burns when I pee, Hep me Mommy.
kevin
“there is not a word, in any language, to describe the immensity of that kind of stupidity”
words to consider…unDork, Andrew, dizzy, allan S, gord tulk…just to name a few
I was extremely discouraged by the list of Pembina Institute financial donars that Ezra presented at the 12:20 mark of the video. How can comapnies donate and support an organization that is dedicated to their demise.
This reminds me of Lenin saying,
https://www.azquotes.com/author/8716-Vladimir_Lenin/tag/capitalism
“list of Pembina Institute financial donars”
The Pembina Institute operates on two levels. First are the lobbyist/attack dogs. Second is as an environmental consulting group. If you hire the second do you never hear from the first? I would never accuse such a group of extortion, just amazingly fortuitous coincidences.
The Pembina Institute operates on two levels.
Its a Criminal Conflict of Interest… They get to make the RULES that they then Profit from… Like all Mafia Operational conduct.. Nice Business you have there, it would be a shame if it burned down…Pay ME and I won’t burn it down
Just a tidbit of information for the nerds. The NDP increased their vote over the 2015 election by just over 11000 votes. The UCP increased the combined vote for the PC and WR parties by over 258,000 votes.
I am legitimately disappointed with Chris Selley. He has done good work on the firearms issue.
Here is the secret of the Firearms issue Old Lori. Ottawa makes the criminal law. But it is predominantly up to the Province to enforce the law.
Now that does not mean that real criminals, murder, rape robbery should not be dealt with. But the Edmonton Gov. is supposed to direct the resources and give direction to the Prosecutors and the Police. And paper crimes such as gun law compliance can be placed a way down the list. Stop chasing paper criminals and hammer the real crimes like rural violence by dope heads and gangsters.
And quit prosecuting honest folk for defending themselves. Those are all choices made by the Provincial AG and direction he wants enforced.
Start by ending the RCMP contract, and boosting the Alberta Sheriff’s Dept. The Alberta Sheriff’s are Albertan’s the RCMP are generally always from back east and indoctrinated paramilitaries to boot.
Nothing has ever prevented Alberta from creating its own provincial police force in the manner of Ontario and Québec.
That it hasn’t, even in more prosperous times under successive Conservative governments, suggests those governments must have viewed the RCMP contract as good value.
Wrong JJM, when Klein created the Alberta Sheriffs a lot of discussion occurred. Ottawa immediately lowered the contract price below what Alberta could do, in other wards Ottawa for that cycle lowered the per unit cost to get the contract renewed. The added benefit to Albertans to have their own Police force is all the jobs become Alberta jobs. Klein even created a Police College to train Alberta Police recruits. Stelmach then came in and immediately signed the discount deal with Ottawa. The RCMP answer to their Ottawa Masters not Edmonton. Get the crooked RCMP out, they are too political as we saw from their shenanigans during the Kenney Sweep.
High River.
And never forget what the STASI did in High River is exactly right PO’d. Looting private property and B &E’s on peoples homes during the flood. POS. Way over the line. Kick them back to Ottawa let Ottawa dump them into Quebec.
“Stelmach then came in and immediately signed the discount deal with Ottawa.”
Stelmach was a Conservative. As I stated, he must have viewed the RCMP contract as good value.
So stop whining about the Feds on this one. Once again, Alberta is free to create its own provincial police force any time it wants, whether that be by expanding the ASB or reviving the old (pre-WWII) Alberta Provincial Police (yes, you had one for about 15 years back then).
?
is this the same farce see ’em pee subject to ANOTHER class action suit related to sexual harassment?
TEN TIMES bigger than the first, and successful one?

cops are NOT your friend. get any naive myth about ‘cops are tops’ out of yer head.
they are ONLY interested in charges charges charges. feel free to search ‘victim of home invasion grabs weapon, shoots suspect, now facing criminal charges of attempted murder, careless storage’ or variations of that.
cops are NOT your friend and will not be again in your lifetime.
“That it hasn’t, even in more prosperous times under successive Conservative governments, suggests those governments”
Weren’t Frickin’ Conservative. FIFY
They were just acting a role to get elected. Next time pay attention, A-Hole.
What Liberty loving Conservative wants the Federal National Gestapo, the ones who abused every power they ever had,
to police their small western town/county? Cost be damned, what the beshitted Horsemen did in High River was heinous.
Oh, and just in case anyone forgets, Kenney still needs to answer to that incident.
It was on the Progressive Conservatives of Alberta. We need to know who ordered that tyranny on the People of Alberta.
The Queen’s Cowboy’s LOVE the paper criminals. Ever get pulled over with last years copy of the registration or insurance still in your wallet along with your current paperwork?
I was surprised to see that Capital Power tops the list of sponsors visible at the 12:20 mark. Capital Power is a wholly owned subsidiary (although Wikipedia claims it is independent, at least nominally) of Epcor, which in turn is wholly owned by the City of Edmonton. Capital Power owns, operates, and builds power generation, including coal, natural gas, and wind. So profits from Alberta power bills went to financing this activity., the the collusion of municipal politicians and theirs followers. Nice work.
I noticed Northland Power in there as well. They are into unreliables so one can see why they are out to kill oil. It’s always good to know who your enemies are. Shell and Enbridge are multinationals and are run by progressive spin doctors and corporate cowards.
The only hope for Canada to remain as is, is to vote Max and the PPC in. If this does not happen, Canada is done as we know it and the West will separate.
Canada’s been done since Trudeau the first. The west has a chance to save itself and should do so ASAP. Believe me, I live in the middle of Ottawa.
Yes Pierre The Commie Ass Sniffer, began the Cultural Genocide of English Canada, by Multicult and Official Bilingualism. He also gutted out the English Traditions of the Canadian Military, he Fwrenchied the CF. It has become almost a crime to have a Premier of an English Province who does not kowtow to the Fwrench.
“The only hope for Canada to remain as is, is to vote Max and the PPC in.”
You 100% CORRECT! Canada will in fact remain under Trudeau’s regime if people are stupid enough to vote for Bernier.
So folks, don’t vote for Bernier, vote against Trudeau. Vote for the party that has the best chance to beat Trudeau, that would be the party the has the next most seats in parliament, the CPC.
What exactly is this mysterious “West” you keep carping on about?
Are you suggesting there is actually rock-solid solidarity between Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC?
Pull my other leg.
Alberta and Saskatchewan are the West. Your definition must have been given to you by the Ontario/Quebec cabal.
Looks like Kenney will go after the NDP Think Tank, Broadbent Institute as they contributed big time into the NDP loss in Alberta. Interesting. He wants them listed as a 3rd Party Advertiser they did so much free campaigning and dirt digging for Notley.
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/inside-jason-kenneys-plan-to-kickstart-albertas-economy-and-heal-the-provinces-divisions/wcm/c081c7b3-435c-4b81-9b0e-4cf360a86115
Notley brought in professional greens to advise her on such things as “social license” which she went all in for to discover that professional greens whose job is to run campaigns to shut down the Oil Sands don’t give a shit about “social license”. Now the institutional left will fight every attempt that Alberta makes to roll back Notley’s virtue signalling by threatening through the Spawn to not approve Trans Mountain. Notely should have realized that she should not have considered any of it unless and until the pipeline was built. Alberta should now state that they intend to roll it all back unless and until the pipeline is built after which they might consider some meaningless gesture to watch pigs fly, oops, I mean control the climate.
” by threatening through the Spawn to not approve Trans Mountain”
Too late. That card has already been played. Time to get a new Dealer and reshuffle the Deck. Can’t wait for October.
I understand they’ve all emigrated to PEI. LOL.

Jason Kenney on CTV – Justin Trudeau #CarbonTax is BETTER than Rachel Notley #CarbonTax from a taxpayer & consumer point-of-view
The only thing you’ll convince the people of SDA is that some Chicom dickhead who is using a ‘Justin Trudeau Derangement Syndrome’ as part of their description on Twatter is quite possibly even stupider than you.
Will we ever hear those magic words??
“Stop the stealing”.
Not from any of todays politicians.
Well step one is done,Get rid of Knotley, well Kenney still has to purge the bureaus if he hopes to succeed.
No reasons needed,just fire all upper management and then everyone else.
There is no negotiation possible with parasites and Edmonton voted exactly as they were paid to.
Step two?
I think we re-elect Trudeau.
Corruption is business as usual in Canada, clearly a failed state,Eastern Canada votes to reward behaviour that destroys civil society,every chance they get.
Best thing for us Westerners is return the fool and then abandon the corrupt gong show.
For the ethics free and spineless Liberals will be the least capable of stopping an Independent West and the most useful for inspiring even the calmest,most complacent westerner to revolt.
Rule of Law is long gone in Confederated Canada, these FNC Lavalin Liberal theatrics simply serves to underline how far gone we are.
Changing the penalty clause of the law,after the actor commits the crime is beyond Banana Republic, we can now declare ourselves innocent and save the expenses of investigation,charges and trial.
In fact the very conditions that served to allow citizens to work together to create private and public wealth, have been abandoned by the East.
Private property,equality before the law,representation in law and taxation..
Truth as the ultimate defence,in justice.
Sorry comrade,for the good of the collective, you have no rights nor property.
Strange no one builds anything anymore.
Millions of government experts have spent billions trying to figure out why.
Why do people not work for the glorious wealth and well being of other people who will not lift a finger to help???
Next?
I expect the federal government to pass laws;Banning Human Nature.
Oh wait,silly me.
Already well done.
Step 1: get rid of Notely
Step 2: ???
Step 3: profit.
That’s the way I see it too, for now. I’m open to the profit part, but Kenney better have a plan to put Alberta back to work.
Yes, the SNC Lavalin and Admiral Norman shows the Canadian deep state is alive and well; ready to adopt Dem sliming.
Albertans in our streets, with oil rigs? Is Scheer a free enterprise extremists, so racist? He’s not saying, we’re not sure.
They are sure Canadians are stupid “enough” to fall for ruling class propaganda.
It will be much tougher (impossible) to sell Trudeau as a populist; the emperor has shown his clothes.
His cronyism, love of pontification and hatred of the West and its resources should seal his fate. But will it?
He is most definitely (always was) an establishment elitist. Being establishment is dynamite for western progressive parties.
We, the citizens, do not control this country. The Laurentian Elite and their stools in the Liberal Party of Canada do.
“I think we re-elect Trudeau.” Bingo.
Vote MAX, as currently Scheer is just the slow road to country collapse. We’ve been doing that for a while. Let’s get it over with will ya. Vote MAX, split the vote and let’s give Stupid the ball to carry. He likes the attention and so do his Chinese buddies.The way he’s going, even Quebec won’t like him. He can’t deliver on the ROC, so time-x Kanaduh.
Those United Empire Loyalists in Ontariowe will be left holding the bag, still fighting the Revolutionary War, broke and no one to turn to for payola. Just a bunch of anti USA barking dogs, with no bite. The Banks are already moved into the USA to save their financial hides. Take the hint Kanaduh.
The west will separate (Alberta/Saskatchewan). If they’re smart they will do a deal with the US and join up to Alaska via Montana. BC (the Lower Mainland) will become a narco state, isolated on the west coast, while trade flows move to Valdez, Alaska…it’s shorter to Asia by several days Vancouver. I did the math a long time ago. The LWR Mainland will be a small isolated chunk of it’s former self, as the rest of the province abandons them. Their first language will be Chinese. Sucks to be a commie/union BCer in Vancouver now, eh? You can’t even speak the language. Same for the Hells……squeeze play.
Bye bye Kanaduh and good riddance AFAIC.
At least Ezra has Rachel off his back now from pestering him with potential silly lawsuits using Albertans hard-earned taxpayers’ money.
