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."

The place is flooding and peoples property is being destroyed. He shows up with his kids and a camera crew.
He’s lucky some guy didn’t flatten him with a shovel. How stupid is this guy? Never mind.
And Turdeau wants us to believe that if we pay a carbon tax, which he will rebate to 90% of the population, that will stop climate change. And hence end flooding.
Turdeau. What a moron.
Some of the replies to Manny’s tweet are hilarious.
I’m in Calgary and we have just started a global warming snowstorm. That’s a joke. I’ve seen snow every month of the year here in Calgary.
Oh come on, everyone knows politicians can control the weather; it just takes (your) money, that’s all.
Climate Change:
It’s turned into a freaking blowing white out blizzard! It is 8:10 pm in South West Calgary. Brrr! 15 cm by morning.
I have a blankie – getting set to make a cup of hot tea!
The PM… laughing with the troops, taking a photo op?
Man is he ever stupid!
He has some nerve! Says, to the irate guy, who waited an hour in traffic, because of Security blocking traffic, that he and his children came to help fill sand bags too…
ah, …they came to h.e.l.p …for 15 minutes… while people have been filling sand bags for 4 days?
Man, is he ever crazy, no common sense and a complete inconsiderate imbecile!
Is it child abuse- who takes little kids to do something like that? He wasn’t serious about really helping.
He YELLS at “Madame-Madame Madame” in Quebec last summer, but was so calm with this guy. He in fact, was rattled, talking down to the guy, even touching him on the arm. Does he think he’s Père Nöel?
If I was that man I would get the jacket washed. Good for him saying that he wouldn’t vote for Trudeau, right to Trudeau’s face. Sweet victory!
If I see him around my area campaigning soon I too will get a selfie with him, and I will squeeze him, as I said before, really tight and a little shake for good measure. Then afterwards I would tell him that I wouldn’t vote for him either!
Sweet victory – when he gets a Rachel Notley slam down!
No you wont. The big guy to Justupid’s left is a member of his security detail, paid to deal with muscle for the sissy. Be careful.
@12:12 rob83
” No you wont”
No, correct! I feel better now!
Yeah. He’s the moron.
You’re paying the Liberal Stupid Tax.
He’s spending it. With immense profligacy and historical disingenuousness.
Yep. He’s the moron.
Totally tactless.
He is an opportunistic @$$hole but he has always been that.
Canadians are seriously stunned not to have not noticed this before.
“We are here to help, but first I’ve got to get my selfie for the upcoming election so that I can show peoplekind that we are all neighbourly!” You have to laugh at the hypocrisy that is shown in this video. About twenty four Canadian Army personnel, a possible six man security team, photographers, reporters and sundry hangers on delay relief attempts, all for a picture with the Tater Head. It is surely to weep that this ID-10-T was elected in 2015. The ten years of Conservative rule that brought us out of the Chretien/Martin diaspora has been squandered by Tater Head and his Legion of Minions. There aren’t enough tears to do justice to how far back we have fallen as a country.
Turdeau said, “we (him and his kids) worked for 15 minutes”
ohhh, that’s the only work Turdeau has done in his life.
Meanwhile, at least 16 soldiers had to stop work so Turdeau could get a photo.
Totally disgusting.
Wrong Joe – he pretended to work for 15 minutes – but he was good at it – he is a drama teacher (queen) don’t you know .
Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty Liberal!
Rob, I believe you have won this thread. 🙂
I have never commented on SDA before but I check it every day.
I was out there today filling and loading sandbags at Constance Bay.
The looks in peoples eyes as they knew that they are on the brink of literally losing everything is something that I will never forget.
Why that idiot would show up is beyond me.
why? because he is a narcissist, just like mr “rolled up sleeves” obama was here in the us. and who was that woman saying “excuse me sir”? she would have been on her smug ass in the mud…
Good for you. I met an acquaintance today and the said her husband was helping eith sand bagging in Constance Bay. Indeed, so stressful for so many. Canadians are very good at helping one another. That is one reason the divisiveness promoted by Trudeau and Liberals is so wrong- headed.
Good for you Todd. Well done.
The petulance by the pm here is so typical of him. Never question his virtue because he’s a way better person than you. Just sickening.
Petulance. An excellent choice of word to describe him.
The flood victims are obviously Nazis for not worshiping him at the scene. Harper probably put them up to it.
It’s worse than all that. You should see the Liberal party flacks showing up to smear the volunteer who criticized Spawn for showing up for the photo op. I won’t dignify Canada’s version of Pravda by posting a link to the CBC.
Omg I did check the CBC chat room ( let’s face it the comment section there is a joke ) and as you advised it is unbelievable and the same drones comment up to 25 plus times on stories ..
And always drifts to Harper and Trump and the post are very revealing that they are in a CBC and CNN bubble for all news
and“ facts “.. creepy really
So what if a couple of basements flood, Hey “I’m gettin’ my pic with the PM!”
Note the soldiers standing around Trudeau with adoring looks on their faces, and the cheers for the PM. The military gets screwed by the Liberals even worse than they do by the Conservatives, but yet they still gather ’round to help Trudeau with his photo-op.
And I’d bet every one of the military there will vote for Trudeau in October,with the possible exception of the bearded guy way in the back,who looked pissed off.
I don’t think they are smiling at him. They are just being polite. I also do not think the military will be voting for him next round.
Those were members of the Royal Canadian Regiment and I think still based in London, Ontario. I was in CFB Petawawa around 1970ish when his dad showed up for a photo op. There was nothing nice said in our group about the visit.
Kinda pissed my Regiment’s banner was used in this photo op. But I am probably asking too much of my country. Those soldiers should read some history. Trudeaus do not like soldiers. Liberals do not like soldiers on our streets and more Canadian Regiments have been destroyed in Parliament than on any battlefield. Liberals are not your friends.
“….and more Canadian Regiments have been destroyed in Parliament than on any battlefield. Liberals are not your friends.”
Truer words were never spoken.
The Military will remember what he said come election time. Trudeau said at his town hall meeting, “right now we don’t have the money that the veterans are asking. They want too much.”
But, there’s plenty of money for His Highness to go on exotic vacations.
We all see right through this guy. He probably worries himself sick every night when he hits the pillow. Not worried about Canadians, floods or anything else that might hit us hard, like his greedy taxes.
In fact, he likely says to Soapy, “we risk losing the free housing, food, maid service, baby-sitting services, the indoor swimming pool, chauffeurs, cars, Harrington Lake, the new boats and, worst of all, the free private jet.”
Our SDA contributor, Frances said this week:
Stephen Harper wrote a check and paid for his family’s food at
24 Sussex Drive.
What a difference between the two men.
We’ve a genuine parsimonious narcissistic nut job, now.
Let’s “Notley” him at the next election. He is an embarrassment.
“Note the soldiers standing around Trudeau with adoring looks on their faces, and the cheers for the PM. The military gets screwed by the Liberals even worse than they do by the Conservatives, but yet they still gather ’round to help Trudeau with his photo-op.
And I’d bet every one of the military there will vote for Trudeau in October”
My thoughts exactly, Don Morris. If the poor dummies only knew how much turdo la doo (like turdo la first) despises them.
Of course Constance Bay is in a liberal riding. I think the lady pawing the man who just wanted to get things done was the local MP. It was a photo op.
Plain and simple. I find his natural inclination to be petulant disturbing. Kinda of reminds me of Obama. The best thing he could have done is stay out of the way. Maybe he should go back to Tofino and wait for the big wave. And wait a long time.
You are right. The woman in the pic is the local Liberal MP. She also mostly does photo ops. Her householder info that gets sent out is frequently just a bunch of pics. She too needs to be gone in the next election along with Turdeau.
Of course if was just a photo op – if he really wanted to do something useful, he would have left the kids at home, instead of using them like cute little props.
Let me tell you something.
I live and work in Ottawa. People who live in Ottawa who have to work for a living, and aren’t just well-paid government parasites, can’t afford to buy or live in riverfront properties. They are expected to be grateful to be able to afford to live in “diverse and vibrant” Vanier or in former farming villages an hour or more’s drive away from Parliament Hill.
May I suggest the Canadian armed forces have better things to do than protect the dollhouses of the trophy wives of senior civil servants. Such as helping the Tapette to pack his bags and replacing him with someone who isn’t blatantly a Chinese government agent.
Don’t weep for us, fellow Canadians. Point and laugh. Save your tears for the people who had to pay for those dollhouses—yourselves and the hard-working Canadians in your life.
A general does not march with infantry nor does and admiral man a gun.
A prime minister does not fill sandbags during a flood emergency.
Trudeau has committed a slur against those suffering in this crisis by belittling it to a PR opportunity for his benefit (because it certainly didn’t provide them any)
The prime minister should have been doing what he can at his level of the chain of authority and beyond that offer encouragement and draw attention to the situation to the rest of Canada.
Trudeau is feckless, clueless and arrogant. And he is demonstrably unfit for the job of Prime Minister.
This “event” only provides more evidence of that.
But Trudeau goes to the Kim Jung Un school of leadership. The military is foreign to him.
To date our press is not fully compliant with this leadership style.
But the PMO seems to be full of ardent believers. I’ll bet they are patting themselves on the back that Our Dear Leader’s appearance and hard work today motivated everyone to work even harder and the houses were saved. Our Dear Leader working hard in the fight against climate change. Fellow citizens pay your carbon tax and help Our Dear Leader win the battle against climate change.
On a lighter note, someone in the PMO could tell you what colour socks Our Dear Leader wore to the sand bagging event.
They guy with the beard and baseball hat standing at the back has got cop written all over him…..ha
Can you imagine being assigned to bongo’s security unit. You gonna take a bullet……fur git about it
Didn’t PM Paul Martin also have a disastrous photo-op after the tsunami in Sri Lanka? If he’s following the Martin playbook then what’s next? Dancing with Bono. Kelowna Accord. Promising billions to every special interest group. A Red Book of promises. Hidden Agendas.
After the flood photos, the Liberals can’t use the Soldiers On Our Streets boogeyman but perhaps Yellow Vests on our Streets will work.

It doesn’t matter.
Stupid people will still vote for him.
The problem isn’t stupid politicians, the problem is stupid voters.
Good for that gentleman for speaking up.
Yes, voters are stupid, but there are simply too many inputs and too little control for effective decisions to be made when selecting a representative.
Democracy itself is the problem. It’s a fraudulent puppet show fuelled by ignorant voters. We need to move onto something better.
Either that or wait for a Pinochet to arrive.
I have to agree Stan. I live in Ottawa too. A lot of the people in Fitzroy Harbour and Constance Bay have lived there for generations in small modest houses. Recently a lot of city folks have moved into Constance Bay building more extravagant homes. I don’t weep for them. They have other homes back in Ottawa or elsewhere. Lastly I am disappointed in Mr. Scheer who took the opportunity to campaign in another riding not far off from the flooding further east on the Ottawa River. Perhaps it was a better use of time than the boy prime minister’s photo op but it also showed a disconnect. You can bet it will be played that way by the usual suspects.
I think Scheer was campaigning with Conservative nominees. The focus was not the flooding, but perhaps bad timing. He was in my area last night and Conservative supporters were invited to join him. It is part of gearing up for the election.
I agree.
He’s an idiot. By now it should be obvious to everyone. It’s scary and depressing to know so many still believe in him.
How many peoplekind think he can spell neighbourly?
Trust Trudeau, too stupid to understand what is needed.
Too full of himself to accept any responsibility.
Those idiots charged with”handling the man-child” seem way out of their league.
Oh Right, they are Liberals.
This flooding is the result of man made global warming? Perhaps Quebecers should do their share and mothball their new cement plant that produces more CO2 than all of Alberta’s oil sands.
A gasbag filling sandbags. Wonder how many instructors it took to teach him the technique.
In a way I salute Trudeau for taking on the argument but at the same time the prick didn’t understand the complaint. He was “doing good” on a familly day out and didn’t understand that “doing good” was actually not helping, but hindering. Like so many who go to the same dinner parties and save the planet by buying a subsidized Pius.
He is a psychopath plain and simple google the symptoms
“He is a psychopath plain and simple …”
Psychopath, narcissist, silly little tit….and you can add one more to that list: a testament to the depressingly low IQ of 39 percent of the electorate.
“Thank you for your contribution to the Liberal Party”… Why are the Liberal Party goons putting their hands on the guy ? Too bad the gentleman volunteer didn’t punch the photo-op fool right in the face… Gropey just can’t stop groping I guess… Notice how Gropey McTurdhole once again refuses to take any responsibility for his actions, he’s such a pathological narcissist that he attempts to portray himself as a “victim” of his own security, its not his fault that he’s taking up everyones time for a tone deaf photo-op, its his security teams fault. Everyone must be experiencing this photo-op differently I guess. David Akin over at Unifor headquarters, Globall News, didn’t even bother to mention the confrontation in his report… Akin chose to run some fluffy Liberal PR instead… stupid #justinjournos asshole. Time for Justine to jet back to Tofino and do some more surfing, his work for the week is done, time to prepare for the next photo-op.
…” Notice how Gropey McTurdhole once again refuses to take any responsibility for his actions, he’s such a pathological narcissist that he attempts to portray himself as a “victim” of his own security, its not his fault that he’s taking up everyones time for a tone deaf photo-op, its his security teams fault.

Brilliant Sean, ha ha ha, good one! Ha, ha, Ha!
Nice. Nice, nice ,nice. HOWS ABOUT A THREAD DEALING WITH ZOOLANDER’S CLAIM OF A $3.1B SURPLUS???
What kind of ankle biter B.S. is THIS mere Fly-Shit in comparison?
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-government-ran-3-1-billion-surplus-in-first-11-months-of-2018-19-1.4396509
Get a Frickin’ Grip and read the regular relevant NEWS on a daily basis, Geeze Kate.
Think this vid is going to influence people who’re told by the CBC that Zoolander’s government managed a $3.1B surplus? Really?!
Yeah, on higher taxes and EI EIOHHHH premiums. How about some higher income on actual economic activity, instead of just selling houses to each other, or dope sales?
$3.1 billion, of shell game “economics”. Pffft.
It’s an old trick, used by others.
What bothers me is the pilfering of the Canadian gold.
The perps should be in jail.
“HOWS ABOUT A THREAD DEALING WITH ZOOLANDER’S CLAIM OF A $3.1B SURPLUS???
What kind of ankle biter B.S. is THIS mere Fly-Shit in comparison?”
For much of yesterday we were trying to get my desktop back up and running, and for the rest of this weekend, I happen to be working. Providing threads isn’t the only thing I have to do with my day.
I also have a living to make and a life of my own. For — as generous as some of our readers are — this blog is in no way a source of significant, or even insignificant income.
So the next time you have a concern regarding our Prime Minister’s claims, you might direct your question to Andrew Scheer, or one of the people who are actually paid to report/analyze the news.
As has been mentioned before — I am not a public utility.
Well said Kate.
Thanks for hosting this blog.
I love your wonderful comments at the top of each thread.
Thank you, Kate, for taking the time from making a living and out of your busy life to reply to my comment.
I hope you’re feeling better.
First tip on the April 27th tip thread.
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/index.php/2019/04/27/april-27-2019-reader-tips/#comment-1202852
I assumed you read your own tips thread. My mistake.
Notice all the still NDP seats in Edmonton after the Alberta election?
Yeah, Trudeau is carrying Edmonton, and Vancouver, and Wascana center, and Toronto, and Quebec, and the maritimes…
Canada is done, because it’s majority stupid. Get out while the getting is good.
Kenney is not talking separation? Well, guess you know where he stands; right beside Scott Moe, in “fighting the carbon tax by paying the carbon tax”.
Reports I’m seeing/hearing are that the cpc is doing well in QC outside if Quebec City and Montreal.
And they likely pick up a few seats in NB and NS.
Kevin: bongo isn’t carrying Edmonton. The libranos have one seat in Edmonton. They have one in Millwoods as well and that’s it.
Both are in trouble.
Justin Trudeau wasn’t Prime Minister visiting the docks delaying departing boats during the evacuation of Dunkirk, thank goodness for that.
(add your own historical example for that meme)
It is a pity Justin Trudeau doesn’t come close to that other Queen, when she gave words of encouragement to her people at Tilburg in 1588 before the Spanish Armada:
“I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart of a King.”
Queen Elizabeth I
On CTV News tonight Sandie Rinaldo did not show the above 1:41 SDA clip in its entirety. It was reduced to being a few seconds, trying to make Trudeau look good. (or better)
The network eliminated most of the part where the concerned citizen spoke, exclaiming Trudeau’s fault for showing up and disturbing the work they were doing for a mere photo-op.
And the ever dutiful CBC and CTV clarified that ‘no one had to wait for an hour’… (via Ezra’s twitter account)
So our feminist PM brought his sons to “help” sandbag. Where was his daughter?
He is not allowed to be alone with his daughter. Momma is dumb but not that dumb.
Recovering from her FGM?
The Justin Trudeau’s Liberal’s sandbagging the Canadian public going on 3 … almost 4 years.
There are memes aplenty for you, who are leading Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. If you can’t fight and win a meme war. You can’t fight and win an electoral war in the digital age, either.
This clip going viral could sink the Liberal ship like a 6 pounder hitting just below the water line.
As the flooding ship began to list, the Liberals running the campaign from atop the *poop deck would…
*(In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or “aft”, part of the superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. – wiki. I didn’t want you to think I’d gone scatological. )
Mr Dressup says: “Well, you know, there are gender impacts when you bring construction workers into a rural area. There are social impacts because they’re mostly male construction workers.”
MSM really deserve more criticism here. How many of them were there? At the request of PMO, they all obediently go running. Any of them say “No, we’d just be in the way, same as you. Hire a photographer, produce your own campaign propaganda.”
Then this angry guy shows up….not one of them can be bothered to follow up on that story. Again, how many newsteams on the ground? Who is this person? Is he a lifelong Tory? Were his traffic claims true? The only followup was getting a statement from the PMO… who confirmed with RCMP. That would be the same RCMP that saw other flooding as an opportunity to break into people’s houses. So, “reporters”, actually there, on the scene, chose to report the PMO’s official version of events rather than do their purported job
Bell must be destroyed. I’d like to see some kind of grassroots movement like that. Whatever the subject, everybody end their posts with “Bell must be destroyed” They have a ridiculous and too often unrecognized amount of power. Terribly run company with near monopolistic power in varied fields. CBC is easy. Cut funding, done. Bell have too many tentacles
Ceterum censeo bell esse delendam
