  1. New York man who shot 2 burglars in his home charged with felony over inherited gun.
    https://www.worldtribune.com/new-york-man-who-shot-2-burglars-in-his-home-charged-with-felony-over-inherited-gun/

    Read until the end:

    “Investigators in the case discovered that Stolarczyk’s home had no electricity or running water and had been condemned. It was seized by the state, reports say.

    WKTV reports that “Stolarczyk is being provided with temporary shelter and benefits through Social Services.””

    The process is the punishment. Especially when you’re white and have no political connections.

    1. I remember the bigots who posted here when the second max crashed. They claimed it was a culture thing. They were right. It was a culture thing, they were wrong about which culture.

      1. I still suspect it was the reading ability of pilots in S hole countries. Pilots in modern countries lived and reported the problem.

      2. “They were right. It was a culture thing”
        Could be. The Boeing plant at Seattle is smack dab in the heart of Progressivelandia USA so all the left-wing bs must be negatively affecting management at Boeing in the same it affects the general population.

  3. Tweet by Lisa Raitt, the deputy leader of the Conservative Party, and also the party’s Justice Critics. So, she’s number two after party leader Andrew Scheer.

    It said:

    Well I’ve learned my lesson in tweeting anything about climate change. I’m going to be transparent & let you know I’m deleting the earlier tweets. I’m not the one to fight with on this because like most I believe that emissions cause climate change and we should reduce emissions

    1. We can kiss the next election good-bye. Andrew “DQ” Scheer is little more than, as Winston Churchill once put called a certain politician, a sheep in sheep’s clothing.

      1. “a sheep in sheep’s clothing.”

        Or as I’m known to say, “like Joe Clark without the personality.”
        Info for the young pups – Joe Clark had no personality.

        1. and again, (and again and again and again) why the FCUK do the con?servatives in charge
          of the con?servative party . . . . . pick this bunch of idjits for the top position?
          are they the ones that dropped kimmie kim on the heads of Cdn voters?
          who the hell is doing this? is the con?servative party packed with moles?

    2. More often than not we can see that Andy doesn’t want the job of being the Prime Minister. He’s just not ready. Too cozy being where he is. He gets a big paycheck. There’s less travel and less flack than the PM gets. He can whip his caucus instead of getting whipped by the world. He has a zero personality and would probably rather read a spy novel or play games at home, instead.

      He too realizes that the Country is a Post National FUBAR.

    2. Especially when it has been Indian males who have murdered over 80% of these Indian women.
      Shut down the reserves which are the root of the problem, let them become Canadian citizens and own private property, get rid of the corrupt chiefs and council and the buildings full of federal lawyers and Indian Affairs workers.
      It is another Federal failure. Quit flying subsidized food into the reserves tell them to move and integrate. Enough Indian Nation Bull shit.
      Quit building facilities on reserves, let them integrate. Take the budget cut it in half and directly fund each Indian with a monthly check. Fire all the federal workers, quit funding reserves.
      Do not hand any more money directly to the chiefs and council. Tell each Indian here is your monthly check stay or move we do not care but build no more infrastructure on any reserve. You want services, schools, hospitals, water plants move to town. If you want to stay you deal with your remote location like any other Canadian. There are no traditional natives anyway any more that is a myth. They are held prisoner on reserves to create jobs for the Feds and the Indian Industry.

      1. Good luck with that, it will never happen, it makes sense. We will toss money into a black hole in perpetuity, nothing will change , and, as always, it will be our fault.

      2. Watch- I just came home from Ontario. Flew outa the urban reserve formerly known as Thunder Bay. It is a shithole of native problems. The population is static but the native percentage grows annually. White kids migrate away.

        I was up in the bush and stopped on a northern rez. The natives use the rez system as a sanctuary. They are safe on the rez.

        All atrocities that exist on the rez stay on the rez. Sex abuse of children is rampant in the rez system. Wife beating is common place. Nobody talks.

        There is zero chance of ever getting rid of the rez. The young kids all leave but the minute they run into problems – it’s back to the rez.

        I’ve been to lots of northern reservations. They are all the same.
        A destroyed society. Widespread corruption. Abuse of every sort imaginable, and no appetite for change.

        1. Been on a few Reservations they are brutal. I do not blame the kids, they want to leave they want the White Man’s culture they see on that big screen tv. But the chief and council get paid by head count so the young are trapped. So they feel hopeless and sniff gas or anything they can get, and they are fed a steady diet of hate WHitey. The reserve system has to be demolished that is the real genocide the reserves are destroying them. They are told they are a nation, all bullshit. They are told they are special all bullshit. They are told nothing is their fault all bullshit. End the reserves and integrate them. Make them citizens with full rights. There really are very very few traditional natives. They love the Whitemans culture. I have done private charity on reserves the reserves are prisons. The courts and bureaucracy have destroyed them with the reserve system.

    4. I have no problem with the claims of genocide.
      The response is who is it exactly that is perpetuating this so-called genocide?

      No one, not one of the commissioners, no one with a seat in Parliament, nor any of the pundits that want to run with this has yet to identify the perpetrators.

      So please, lets not waste one more dime on these traveling road shows, lets get on to the prosecution for the crime against humanity.
      Related point: an entire regiment was disbanded over the death of a Somali teen, so if any government employee is designated as remotely responsible that entire ministry should be abolished based on the precedent set by a previous liberal government.

      1. I do recall a couple years back when a Person now Identified as First Nations came to our small rural Church to make a presentation of the information gathered as history of an unidentified Indigenous Tribe as resident in the Niagara Region.
        After the meeting & Coffee time; while washing cups in the Church’s kitchen I asked the presenter to explain why there was a new process starting to compensate the First Nation’s participation in the “Residential School situation.

        My understanding is all of the Residential School participants; both those who actually said the Residential School provided an opportunity to move away from the Oligarchic control of Tribal Elites and possibly provided safety for young women, and those who claim abuse would be older than I am now entering My Ninth Decade as an Eighty Year old. I felt all would either be in a retirement situation in their own community structure or passed on.

        The response from the Presenter was; “It will take Seven Generations for the Harm of the Residential Schools to —dissapate”. My response to this Answer was and remains; “Jesus Christ was walking on the Earth as a Human only One Hundred Generations ago”.

        I can go on about other example of the long standing political acumen when the Liberals are in brokerage political control of the unassimilable First Nations– as Federal Tax-dependent Wards of the Anglo-Culture.

      2. Genocide.
        At first I thought “typical Progressive Grandstanding”.
        But now,Genocide indeed.
        The situation on the Reserves ,where women feel safer as whores on skid row of the nearest city, is intolerable.
        Interesting that a crack addicted sex trade worker has more rights and legal protections than a woman on reserve.
        The systematic destruction of our Native Peoples via the Apartheid System of Canada is indisputable.
        This foul bureaucracy steals from everyone,robbing taxpayers of billions and cheating the Natives of their liberty,freedom of choice and initiative.
        By design,through decades of (mostly) Liberal Governance has created these festering Islands of human misery.
        There is zero Federal interest in shutting down their Indian Industry.
        It is far too useful,both as a political tool and as a means of stealing to ever reform.
        One of my local chiefs put it this way.”We tell Indian Affairs our drinking water stinks and is yellow”
        After many years of study,IA say “You are right we will spend $10 million on a new water treatment plant”.
        $9.99 Million is consumed by studies,engineering proposals and further studies.
        $10 000 is spent patching existing plant.
        Local Band complains”Our water stinks and is yellow”
        Indian Affairs” Whats the matter with you ingrates?We just spent $10 million on that problem”.
        And if we,mere taxpayers, point out how badly screwed up and toxic the system is,that it must be torn down and our Natives become true citizens..Why we are RACISTS.
        Freeing our Native Population,should in a just society, be more important than all the 1st world “problems” our virtue signalling comrades are shrieking about.

        Only in Canada would we brag about “underground railways” for American Negros, as we grind the Native Tribes to mush.
        Another great contribution to world peace, The Canadian Apartheid System.
        Which I note we dumped all over the White South Africans.
        For copying.

        1. Good Summary, John. Almost fifty years ago the Spawn’s father had a White Paper on this which recognized those problems and, if acted upon, would have eliminated the Indian Act. Chretien (I.A. Minister) and PET decided to punt it down the road. That would make the Spawn the direct inheritor of the responsibility for Canada’s “genocide” as heir to that Queen’s throne.

      1. The ninth was put on notice by Trump back when he threatened to ship illegals he could not deport to the sanctuary cities. Not sure what they have been told that is not public.

  7. Calgary 07:30 am Monday June 10:
    Business owners showed at City Hall to protest extreme property tax increases. There is a petition to get the Mayor ousted from office for incompetence by week’s end. There were people who had protest signs for his removal. Two city councillors agree, asking for the same. The Mayor said his resignation would be “ridiculous.” This possibility is in their the realm of the Council, in fact, the People.

    On CTV NEWS at 11:30 pm Monday, this aspect was completely whitewashed. The people carrying the “Get The Mayor Out” signs were not photographed and there was no mention of it. Their coverage was about the City Councillors agreeing to cut the extortionate tax rates today by a measly 10%.

    We have Fake News now in Calgary. Thank Goodness for The Rebel News and Keenan Bexte. See what Rebel News has videoed and what Bexte had to say:

    https://youtu.be/1G_nbIDmDUw

    P.S. The Politicians hate the Rebel News because they tell the truth. I’m getting to really like Keenan Bexte’s reporting, he and the whole crew at Rebel are the best!

    1. I like this one. Canadians need to support Rebel. The rest are bought and paid for minions. Calgarians are reaping what they have sown. And the burden should be on all taxpayers in Calgary, not all Albertan’s. Kenney needs to kick Ottawa’s ass out of Municipal jurisdictions. Provincial governments created Municipal governments, Ottawa has been buying votes with it’s spending power they need to be put in their place. They have destroyed the balance by dumping all Canadian taxpayer money into Municipalities. Municipalities and Ego Maniac Municipal governments are the problem. I recall when TO. build SkyDome for the Blue Jays. They forced the 600M build onto taxpayers. Said they had to have it, imagine 600M building for multimillionaire baseball players. It was sold a couple of years ago for 50m to a private business. Fraud Fraud on the taxpayers.

    2. Calgary is proof that ‘all politics is local’. You can still get to local city council because you know these people. Once politics moves to the Provincial level getting to a politician becomes increasingly difficult and at the federal level… impossible.

      What I’m saying here is that the incompetence of Calgary’s local government has caught up to it. The phonies like Farrell and Collie Urkart are getting their just desserts. They have it coming and more on the way.

      But fear not intrepid council your gold plated pension, the best in the country, that you refuse to address, will be garnering increasing attention.

      The city is broke. The overbuilt downtown will never be occupied like it was even if the patch recovers. It most likely will end up an urban jungle.

    1. If Climate Barbie doesn’t like her endearing nickname, a switch to one more appropriate, might be a possibility. After seeing her in action, not answering legitimate and serious questions, she should get out of the kitchen if she can’t take the heat. Poor girl, her feelings were hurt. Here, “Barbie” should maybe try this one on for size:

      https://youtu.be/f-sYQ8_2v_Q

      1. “If Climate Barbie doesn’t like her endearing nickname…”

        She deserves it for her self-regarding, thin-skinned petulance alone – what part of “political life” is she not clear about?

        And where the hell was her chief of staff in this? She should have been advised: “I suggest that you not make a fuss about this ‘Climate Barbie’ thing, Minister; just ignore it and it’ll probably fade away. Make a fuss and they’ll know they’ve hit a sore spot. And then they’ll keep saying it over and over”.

        And so we have. Ha ha!

      2. NR – good one.

        ‘Cuz climate change isn’t about the color of my hair, and besides I have 2 daughters at home and…..’, sure climate barbie that’ll get you off the hook.

        I know this is an older clip but increasingly the Rebel is all we’re going to have left the way the media has gone.

        “I dont always read the news but when I do…..it’s Rebel Media,” the most interesting man in the world. Ha

      3. What part about Harry Truman’s famous statement (“If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”) doesn’t she understand?

        1. All of it. If she can’t stand the heat, she probably barely passsed Law School. I certainly wouldn’t want her to represent me in a Court of Law. She can’t think on her feet, judging by how she spoke to this reporter. A girl in grade 7 could’ve done better.

    2. good catch. She almost broke down. very unstable. she did not like he also reprimanded her for linking deniers to the holocaust.

    1. I love the comments to that item, starting with Lisa Boothe’s, “Probably for the best”.

  10. This is why the whole MMIWG effort was a joke.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/premier-scott-moe-disagrees-with-indigenous-inquiry-s-genocide-finding-1.5169622

    The MMIWG report noted several contributing acts committed by government or professionals against Indigenous people, such as the Indian residential school system, the “Sixties Scoop” of Indigenous children, forced sterilization of Indigenous women and allegations of police inaction on murder cases when it came to the genocide conclusion.

    The first 3 examples are no longer relevant. The 4th “police inaction on murder cases” is pointing the finger at the wrong people. Case in point…

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/saskatchewan-rcmp-investigating-edmonton-woman-s-disappearance-as-a-homicide-1.5170230

    “Saskatchewan RCMP investigating Edmonton woman’s disappearance as a homicide.”

    “RCMP first asked for the public’s help to find Tiki Brook-Lyn Laverdiere on May 12.”

    “They believed the 25-year-old may have tried hitchhiking back to Edmonton.”

    “She lived in Edmonton and was visiting North Battleford and Thunderchild First Nation for a funeral.”

    “A few days later, police said her disappearance was considered suspicious.”

    The only way this woman’s remains will ever be found (and her killer brought to justice) is if First Nations people step forward with evidence. It is not police inaction that has caused this genocide. It is First Nations inaction. They don’t protect their most vulnerable people by cooperating with police to bring the killers to justice. First Nations people just blame the white people. It is business as usual since the MMIWG report was released. What is the likelihood that this woman was killed on the reserve?

    1. BwahahahaHA. Our neighborhood is a professional ghetto, mds, attorneys and the like. I like to ask with only slightly faux outrage, What are you driving, man? Does the phrase World War ll have no meaning to you?
      I recall an acquaintance took a five series bimmer on a sales call to some Nebraska farmers. It was wrong on so many levels. The Ag VPs all drove large American sedans but not Cads or Lincolns. Anyway, he’s in a small restaurant event room with the locals when the PA crackles, “Would the owner of the blue bmw please return to your car. It’s on fire.” Apparently some subsystem fan on that model had issues for several years that was under-reported because German.

  12. Canadian – Order of Canada recipient for his work with children – leaves his wife and child in Canada to live with young boys in Nepal, charged with sexual assault.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/peter-dalglish-conviction-nepal-1.5170122

    His lawyers claim the boys were lying. His wife claims he’s a good guy. The government claims that sexual assault of children in Nepal is a huge problem and they are cracking down. Who to believe…

    1. Order of Canada, is like an asshole everyone has one, piece of asswipe now. They hand them out to anyone.

      1. “Order of Canada”

        The baby killer award? It’s bad enough to have had to breath the same air as Morgenthaler. If I ever did anything to deserve an Order of Canada, I would have to refuse it. Maybe suggest the Royal Visit Order instead.

    2. Order of Canada. A collection of pedophiles and homos all dedicated to self beautification.

  13. Much gnashing of teeth, and other sad crying, in the media cartel over the Raptor’s one-point loss, at home last night, to the San Francisco Warriors. CBC News, and other cartel leaders, stress that the Raptors are “Canada’s Team”, so the loss was therefore felt by all Canadians, to be sure.

    FOX News, not part of the ruling media cartel, was brave enough to mention that Toronto fans cheered when star-player Kevin Durant, in the second quarter, went down with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury:
    https://www.foxnews.com/sports/raptors-urge-fans-to-stop-cheering-durants-injury

    Needless to say, our well-cared-for media-cartel censored the story — only mentioning in passing, buried in a small paragraph, that Mr. Durant went down hard to the floor. But after all, the Toronto Raptor fan craze is all one big multicultural celebration — where all Canadians irrespective of their colour or creed can come together under the CBC camera lights to cheer the team on.

    So with certainty we can all claim that THERE IS NO POOR SPORTSMANSSHIP! — THERE IS NO POOR SPORTSMANSHIP! amongst the Raptor fanzies — since The Globe, the Star, CTV News and CBC News ensure in their news coverage that there certainly is no poor sportsmanship.

    Now if only the Raptors can win the series. Not a certain thing now, eh?

      1. The last couple of hours, both CBC News and the Globe and Mail put a CP-wire story on the bad Toronto fan behaviour, after it was talked about on social media and in places like the National Post. What bothers me is that all these liberal come-latelies, in the media, join the patriotic bandwagon, media types who don’t even know what a basketball is. I say this as someone who played competitive basketball (decades ago before there was a 3-point line).

  14. The Socialist Tax Payer Funded Trough feeders coming out to condem the City of Calgary for deleting the “Walking & Cycling Co-ordinator” positions that payed some $75-125k Annually.

    They opine that downtown businesses who’ve been hit with 350-400% Tax increases …. as “some are struggling”

    Arrogant Concescending ASSHOLEsS..making likely taking 300k+ per yr each on the backs of Alberta Ratepyers. More fodder for the Guillotines.
    https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-shame-on-city-hall-for-shelving-cycling-and-walking-positions

    1. And Druh Farrell is behind an initiative to investigate why City Hall still predominantly male. I’m tempted to send her an email applauding her efforts and pointing out how glad I will be to see more women working the garbage trucks, pruning big trees, up the poles for electric work, repairing the LRT lines, etc., etc. Though to be fair, if City Hall is as male-dominated as she says, moving more women in couldn’t be any worse given the garbage, obfuscation, etc., we routinely get from the bureaucrats there.

  16. The environmentalists have really gutted Alberta which was an economy based upon commodities. With that industry under assault, the economy has been decline. According to the quarterly report released April 1st 2019, Calgary’s downtown vacancy rate is currently at 26.5%, the highest in Canada. Although it decreased slightly from its peak at 27.8% in the second quarter of 2018, it still exceeds the vacancy rate from the economic crisis in the 1980’s which stood at 22%. And although this has been in the 20% range for a few years now, it shows no sign of stopping soon.

    With a loss in tax revenues from the downtown core, rising property taxes have shifted onto the shoulders of small businesses. Property taxes for small businesses have increased considerably from 2017 to 2018 and small business owners were told the bill for 2019 will be even higher. Some businesses have had their property taxes increase by over 400% when they received their assessment, with the first substantial increase due July 1st 2019.

    What they don’t seem to realize, is if you raise taxes enough, there won’t be any incentive to work. People will instead be driven away and go where the prospects are more opportunistic for them. Like in Vancouver where the price of gas was at an all-record high last month ($1.789 per litre or $6.772 per gallon CAD) and many drove across the border to Washington State to fill up not only their vehicle, but multiple jerrycans as well. People will
    always migrate away from where the prices and taxes are outrageous and Calgary is no different.

    https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/canada/calgary-vacancy-rate-still-near-record-highs-sorry-calgary-is-closing/

    1. And as Alberta declines so will the PENAL COLONY. The Canadian dollar is actually a petro dollar now. If you remove oil and gas from the economy the Canadian welfare state will collapse. Eastern Canada and their welfare bums are in for a rude awakening. The follow on collapse in the east will be priceless. Look forward to the day when the Eastern Welfare Bums are following a ravens ass from dumpster to dumpster with their mouths open for their next free lunch.

      1. Come on Watcher.

        You have to actually have something beside a bad attitude in order to lose it.

        And I’m betting that your net worth approximates Junior’s intelligence level or your typical Liberal’s integrity.

        I think you’re just pissed cause your nurses are from the East and they keep wiping your mouth with the same cloth they use for your ass.

        Not their fault buddy, it’s truly hard to tell the difference.

        1. My net worth is non of your business, I did sell most of my real estate before the recent bust. And re invested in the mountains. You my friend are what’s known as a pusillanimous ass. And I am not pissed, I enjoy upsetting welfare bums from the east like yourself. It makes my day upsetting Liberals. Living off the benefits of Albertan’s sweat and labor. A pompous unwiped ass, whatever will you do when the welfare tap slams shut, follow a ravens ass with your big mouth open waiting for your next meal. I know you resent it being pointed out that you are an eastern welfare bum, but that is the path you chose.

          1. Just what are tiny homes going for these days?
            Reinvested in mountains? A cave with a view?

            I think your projecting.
            I also think it’s cute that you’re embarrassed for being a burden.

            I suspect I made more selling Regal greeting cards door to door when I was ten than your best year ever.

            I’m sure “Alberta’s sweat and labour” are as foreign to you as intelligence and finding your way home alone.

            But I might buy you had something to do with the Heritage Fund. With constant foot in mouth and finger in butt, I can see how a doltish fellow like yourself could lose a trillion or two.

          2. ha ha ha, yah running out of steam door to door salesman. Pathetic. I wish I had a cave on that 20 acres in the Rockies. Do have a creek tho, very nice. We are downsizing right now, have a 2400 sq. ft with greenhouse and spa tub for sale if you are interested sitting on 65 acres. Has a small orchard about 20 trees. Got some cash. asking only 350,000. New pergola deck on the front, and a goldfish pond with a cedar gazebo in the front yard. Good deal.

          3. Geez. Now I feel bad about picking on the less advantaged.

            And here I thought you were funding Equalization all by your lonesome.

            Best to just scold you for your ultracrepidarianism, blame it on your anosognosia and wonder why someone so fortunate is such a homunculus.

  17. A friend of mine posted pictures of the afghan war memorial on facebook and my god does it look like crap. Who designed this thing? Really disrespectful.

    1. I believe it was a make-shift memorial done by soldiers in Afghanistan — not a government project. The memorial has meaning for the soldiers who served there.

        1. I doubt that. The reason they hid this memorial put together by the soldiers was so as not to offend the Muslims. That is not likely to change.

    1. There is a demographic tipping point ahead of us. Seemed far off a few years ago but 2023 is just around the corner. At this point an extra 60,000 Canadians will turn into receivers of government programs rather than contributors. I think it’s 60,000 a year for the next 15 years. Baby boomers. Gotta love em. Don’t get sick and don’t be poor.

      1. I’ve seen how it’s done with old people. 15 years ago my father-in-law was kicked out of hospital to go and die. They said he likely wouldn’t survive a bypass but he didn’t have a choice to try. A week after getting the boot into a nursing home he died of a heart attack. Nowadays some vampire doctor would have just killed him in the hospital. Does anyone know what a doctor is paid for homicide?

      2. Over a third of those work for government, so they will just start receiving less.
        If we could just elect governments that will not replace them as they retire, we would be fine.

  19. Reposting:
    Off topic but for some reason I could not make any comment of the previous postings. I first noticed it on the Lost D Day Documentary. What’s up with that? Or is it something new?

    1. Reposting again
      Anyway, what I wanted to say about the D-Day Documentary is that at around the 17:13 minute mark, it shows a scene of a soldier getting a reassuring pat on the shoulder from the guy behind him just as they were disembarking from the troop boat onto Juno Beach. They were soldiers from the North Shore Regiment who were mostly New Brunswickers and a smattering from other provinces, in fact the soldier(recently identified as Herman Baker) getting the reassuring pat is depicted on a commemorative coin and he was from Nova Scotia. It is such a human moment. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/coin-soldiers-military-wwii-d-day-royal-canadian-mint-1.4988054

      2. halleluah halleluah HALLELUAH !!!!!
        THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SIR !!!

        look at it. look at that clip. those fellows didnt hesitate one inkling ‘smattering’ bit.
        have at er fellas, PAYBACK TIME.

        the Canadians went further inland and faster, setting up a flanking guard for the other beaches, swarming into the key towns and defensive points all contributing to success on that Day.

        yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. Thanks for this information. I have seen that and wondered just who the two soldiers were. The man giving reassurances had a wedding ring, so would have left wife and possibly children behind. Would these soldiers have come from the area between Bathurst and Moncton?

        1. @Frances: The soldier being patted was from Nova Scotia as I earlier stated. As for the guy with the wedding ring, I also wondered about him, did he survive the war, I wondered.

          1. Canuckguy NB and Frances,
            You two were wondering about “The guy with the wedding ring”…

            I was wondering about that too and did a little sleuthing on the web. Just a guess, but it was probably Maj. Archie Macnaughton from Black River Bridge, NB.

            I figured it wasn’t Father Hickey, the Chaplain, because he wouldn’t have worn a wedding band.

            When I searched “Herman J. Good” the soldier whose name was given to the Bathurst Branch of the Legion, Maj. Macnaughton’s name also popped up.

            In the following link there is a photo of “him” and family. He was 43 yrs old when he rejoined the War effort. For a couple of reasons this man has got to be the man you are looking for: (1) most soldiers were just youngsters from that regiment, and (2) the Major was not. He had experience from the Great War and somebody had to train them and give them encouragement. The “pat” on the back was evidence of it. View this for more info:

            Hope this was of some help to you in finding your man.

            P.S. This is a long shot: if you carefully view Major Macnaughton’s hands from my link to the hands of the man in your link, I would say they are a match. These are the hands of a man who is a salt of the earth kind of man. These are the unique and beautiful hands of a hardworking and loving Farmer and Father. He was a Father to those boys, that day. He, too, died with some of them that D-DAY. May they RIP.

          2. @Nancy Ross. Baker died in 2003, too bad they did not track him down before he died, they could have asked him who was the soldier who patted him with that wedding ring hand. As for your long shot guess that it was MacNaughton, well since it is known that he led his company from Juno Beach inland to the nearby village
            of Tailleville where he was killed, it can be easily be ascertained if Baker was a member of that company by the researchers. I think if that were the case, somebody would have picked up on the connection.

          3. ▪@ 754 Canuckguy NB
            Yes, I think what you’ve suggested could probably be verified. There must be an answer out there.
            I think that the silver dollar coin is beautiful and it should please numismatists greatly.

            Please forgive me for the lack of a Capital letter ‘N’ in
            Major MacNaughton’s name.

          4. Am replying here, as the next level won’t let me do so. Thank you, Nancy Ross for your information. Canuckguy – were these men from the Northern New Brunswick regiment or from Nova Scotia, or were they mixed. Regardless, they did their duty and I salute them.

          Here’s a list of the different brigades that went to Normandy:

          https://www.junobeach.org/canada-in-wwii/articles/infantry-organization/

          The 8th Infantry Brigade consisted of the men from NNB
          The 9th Infantry Brigade consisted of the men from NNS

          From what I can see in this list they were separate. Perhaps there was some amalgamation as the troop numbers decreased. Not sure.

          (Though born in Montreal, I am still quite interested in the area of the Maritimes as I lived there for many years before moving to Calgary)

  20. This may be considered too long. I hope not. It is my response to an Op-Ed article picking on a standard scapegoat.

    The sophistry of this article,s author moves beyond opinion into yet another attempt of social construction by the Democrat Party.

    Harriet Tubman is truly a Heroine during a period of time when the actions She undertook placed both Her own life and the lives of the People she brought freedom were in imminent danger during onerous journeys.

    My Family’s home town of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada recently renamed my primary school of Alexandra, a Queen of Britain at the end of the Victorian era, , to Harriet Tubman. The renovated Public School, was originally constructed in, the then rural area of St.Catharines at the northern side of the Community.

    The Harriet Tubman School is now an integral component of the Central neighbourhood in the city, with changes to street roads and incorporating form factory properties as park lands.

    The City of St.Catharines, also has a period of discrimination using skin colour as the “trigger” for bias, This began as a relocation process for one of “Shipman’s Corner” ( St. Catharines orignial name) relocated North, away from the small river which came to be known as the “Twelve Mile Creek” with access to Lake Ontario.

    My Maternal Grandparents settled near Alexandra School after emmigrating from London, England in 1904, as a Veteran Family of the Imperial Army. backyard neighbours with a Family of early immigrants with African Ancestry.

    But; St. Catharines is also a destination of Harriet Tubman when bringing People who “were stole from the day they were born”; paraphrase from P.198 of –THE HALF HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD — Edward E. Baptist, Author; Published 2014-2016.

    The BME Church — British Methodist Epsicopalian — is the well recognized and established Church of African Ancestry People of the Niagara Region. The Church is a reminder of the terrible atrocities brought into the open during the Colonial Period by the now identified “Western Culture”. A period of cruelty which continues in many Non- “Western Cultures” under the guise of Religion similar to the Colonial Period.

    Andrew Jackson; POTUS # 7 is the antagonist of this article on placement of honour for a daily reminder through using currency as a vehicle for promotion as old as the first steps forward in the evolution of civilization by Humankind. But; Mr. President Andrew Jackson is the epitomine of the American Citizen of His time

    An orphan from early childhood, who through great effort and persistence, rose through the “Great Experiment” of “We The People” establishing an international recognition of the — Human Rights of the Individual — and the delicate balance required to prevent the Autocracy of an Elite Bureaucracy developing into the Oligarchic choosing of self-interest rule

    The only necessary component of the concept of “We the People” is a steady and abiding recognition of Sovereignty of the Ordinary Average Citizen. Would it have been possible for an African Ancestry or another evolutionary process for protection from living at or near the Equator through skin colouration? I doubt it being possible or even practical.

    Andrew Jackson was the First President of the U.S.A. elected by the “We The People” no matter how flawed the process of an evolution of civilization was at that point in time. The U.S.A. elected as POTUS #44 the First President of “We The People” with an acknowledged and proud of African Ancestry.

    Whether or not POTUS #45’s Adminisrative term(s), will stand the pressures of filing any promise as a move towards Human Rights & Responsibility for All Individuals throughout the world is still to be established.

    I must confess, except for visiting the BME Church in St.Catharines during an ‘Open House’ opportunity day I never stopped by this venerable church which I passed by many times. My promise is to do so soon. I expect to be greeted warmly & Cheerfully. Mike Sr.

    1. “I must confess, except for visiting the BME Church in St.Catharines during an ‘Open House’ opportunity day I never stopped by this venerable church which I passed by many times. My promise is to do so soon.”

      You might wonder how the BME came by its name:

      “Reverend Benjamin Stewart of Chatham, Ontario proposed that the AME [African Methodist Episcopalian] churches in the United Canadas separate from the U.S. association and form their own church… The new church was named the British Methodist Episcopal Church in appreciation of finding a safe haven from slavery in British North America.” (Wikipedia)

      There is no small irony in the fact that slaves had to escape the “Land of the Free” to live as subjects of the Crown in the Canadas in order to secure their personal liberty.

    Instead of plastic ban, new taxes, and subsidies to ineffective “green” techs, we should create a regulatory and business environment more conducive to innovation in the private sector.

    That’s how we can solve environmental problems AND become more prosperous.

    Apparently, like genocide, veto has more than one meaning.

  23. Nearly 1,700 Suspected Child Sex Predators Arrested During Operation “Broken Heart”

    The Department of Justice today announced the arrest of almost 1,700 suspected online child sex offenders during a two-month, nationwide operation conducted by Internet Crimes Against Children task forces. The task forces identified 308 offenders who either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse, and 357 children who suffered recent, ongoing or historical sexual abuse or were exploited in the production of child pornography.

    The 61 ICAC task forces, located in all 50 states and comprised of more than 4,500 federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies, led the coordinated operation known as “Broken Heart” during the months of April and May 2019. During the course of the operation, the task forces investigated more than 18,500 complaints of technology-facilitated crimes targeting children and delivered more than 2,150 presentations on internet safety to over 201,000 youth and adults.

  26. Global News is reporting BC Librano MP Joe Pershisolido has been accused of laundering money through his BC law firm. Some gangsta while in prison had Joeballs do a ‘transaction’ for him.

    Now this is Canada where thing like this are ‘technically’ not illegal. However the gangsta was in the bucket when Joe closed the deal so a crime was perpetrated.

    Wonder how many of these ‘deals’ librano lawyers facilite? Think da liddle thief’s firm would ever do something like this? Just askin’

      1. Damn you just be beat me to it.

        Their seats should be confiscated they are either made from leather (bad) or plastic (double plus bad).

      1. Notice how quickly Danielle reacted to this fool? She took care of business. Too bad nobody stepped up to the plate and took him out.

        1. I read some of the comments that were posted. Most of the ones I saw were favourable to him, no doubt written by leftists.

        2. I also noticed how his voice still had ‘volume’ after he was pried away from the mic and then down on the floor. He must’ve been previously micked up or he has an awfully loud voice. Weird or what? Whatever. Perhaps there’s an overhead boom there.

          This probably was all planned* in ‘central planning’ by you know who. That’s why I think Mr 2% doesn’t want to be bothered with ‘winning’, he has reached his comfort zone or ‘Peter Principle.’ See my post to this effect at 3:32pm here.

          *Note: That this was almost concurrent with the stuff that went down in Toronto. BA submitted the clever and hilarious videos by David the Menzoid Menzies of Rebel News @ 5:33 & 5:42 pm. Ha, what a bunch of loopy people there!
          Coincidence?

          1. That this was almost concurrent with the stuff that went down in Toronto.

            When I was a grad student in Vancouver nearly 40 years ago, stuff like what was shown in the videos was not only common but considered normal.

          2. @ 11:03 pm B A
            Yes, it was normal and you’re bang on about it being nearly 40 Years ago. The nightly news covered items about the tree huggers regularly. Even naked ones, I think, the ones who climbed up in trees and stayed for days!

            Used to have a subscription to Macleans Magazine and read about the group founded in 1979 “Friends of Clayoquot Sound.”
            They prevented Macmillan Bloedel loggers from landing on Mears Island.

            The more things change, the more they stay the same, it seems.

            Here is an interesting article which you too probably saw years ago. Seems quaint now.

            (Ha- Naked Peoplekind is very funny- remember they were called “streakers” too? Were these making a point about environmentalism or were they just drunk?

  28. The UNIFOR media is having a hard time explaining this. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau is holding a Canada Day party in the capital of China. Yes its party time at taxpayer expense in Groper’s favorite country. Lots of steak and lobster will be served, and tickets are already sold out. Kidnapped Canadians are not invited.

    1. Will there be any Canada Day parties in Canada? Just askin– We did not have much of a 150th thanks to Trudeau.

      1. And why should we have? He effectively abolished the country and its identity the moment he took office by declaring us a “post-national” state.

  29. Wow, is there anything China Joe can’t do? Breitbart reports that Joe Biden has promised to cure cancer if elected president.
