    1. My kernel of an idea is a bit different. Maybe we should start an Alberta chapter of the Bloc Québécois. Help them leave!

      Then we can dicker on a new deal with the rest of Canada. Do we have much to lose by using this approach?

      1. I would like to see the entire federation dissolved. Other than national defence the federal government doesn’t do anything that can’t be done better at the provincial level, and they do such a crap job at that that they really shouldn’t even bother.

        1. “I would like to see the entire federation dissolved.”

          And I’d like to pave the streets of Collingwood, Ontario with platinum cobblestones and gold leaf sidewalks.

          There. We’ve established that your wish and mine are both utterly preposterous and we can move on.

        2. They don’t do national defence at all.
          Frankly the only thing they do well is taxation. We’d be better off having a rotating prime minister picked from lets say 4 or 5 regions of the country. Eliminate the feds and every single federal civil servant today and tomorrow you won’t notice anything but a heavier wallet.

      2. “Do we have much to lose by using this approach?”

        Seems to me that anyone pushing such an approach has already lost one thing: their mind.

    2. Yea…and how will that get us tidewater..??
      It WONT. And that is the Crux of the matter.

      The only way is to Separate: Ab, Sask, Mb, NWT & the Yukon
      PERIOD – END OF STORY.

      THAT gives us 3 potential Tidewater Solutions. Valdez (preferred), Tuk and Churchill…and 1 hell of a Resource RICH Nation and is the ONLY way to retain control of OUR resources.

    3. The oil industry is being scolded for paid ads defending the Alberta Oil Industry in the Calgary Herald today, opening shots in the fall election.
      Hopefully Ma Green Lizard May forms a minority government with Trudeau. They both want the Oil Industry shut down.
      Alberta Oil Companies need to shut down all production for about 3 months and completely empty out all oil storage and inventory. Just shutter it all in.
      Albertans need to boycott all made in Canada products. Buy Albertan or Sask products and services only. Or buy US made. Albertans can’t afford Canadian Confederation anymore.
      But they can do lot’s to start changing that at the grass roots level. Become Albertan’s first. Making Alberta into a Nation is the first step, the first step is think Alberta 1st. It’s cultural, More Alberta Less Ottawa. Become Winners quit being loser’s.
      The only way you can change things is at the local level meaning Provincially. Thinking that by voting federally in a rigged game will work is the whole scam. Withdraw from all Canadian Programs and create your own.
      If Indians can have a band of 500 people on a reserve who call themselves a NATION. Alberta needs to do the same.
      The only way out is the UDI. 50% plus 1 takes you out of the Canadian Scam and Criminal Enterprise.
      Anyway Canadians and Albertans more so are still paying more in Taxes than they are allowed to keep for the necessities of life. Food, Shelter and Clothing. The level of taxation is higher in Canada than what Feudal Serf’s Paid in the Dark Ages, and Canadians and Albertan’s can’t figure out the solution.
      The game is rigged and we are fool’s for still sitting at the table in a known rigged game. How stupid is that? Keep Rowing At The Oars of the Slave Ship Canada. Continue On In Your Voluntary Servitude. Keep Chanting Beer Commercials. “I AM CANADIAN” Keep taking food from your Families Mouths to feed system of their enslavement. Ha Ha Ha. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-average-canadian-household-spent-more-on-taxes-than-living-costs-in/#comments

      1. Way ahead of even the Fraser Inst. on this one. I’m pretty much a blue collar guy. I’m in industrial sales, and started out as a machinist. Since about 1983 +/-, there’s never been a year that government has NOT been the single largest expense in my life. When we had three young kids, government cost us more than mortgage, utilities, and food combined. Even now, I send more to government than I spend on all my monthly fixed expenses. Meanwhile, all talk of making life more “affordable” for average families is fiddling at the margins. I tune out anyone who’s not talking about massive (25-35%) spending and taxation reductions. Which means most of them.

      2. Justin Trudeau Lost His Rock-Star Popularity-
        Revelations about the Canadian prime minister’s advocacy for SNC-Lavalin, which faces fraud allegations, threaten his party’s majority.
        –
        This is a wall st journal opinion if you are a subscriber.
        So read it with a lime juice box.

    4. Ah yes, the mythical “West” where Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC all march in lockstep with each other.

      1. Yah JJM that strategy has worked well for Atlantic Canada the Quebecers. Good that you are grasping that, Regional Money and Power Grabbing. That is Canada.
        Canada is not a real Country. It is a Criminal Organization run by the Eastern Cabal.
        Your hero’s The Great Manatee, Lizard May and Jerker Trudeau all say Canada is a Post National Country. Full fill their dream.
        Shut down all oil and gas streams and empty all western storage and inventory and only ship oil to the USA until something snaps. And everytime Albertans’s see that wee Fairy Jason tell him to get off his Fat Widdle Ass and rattle his hocks down to the Alberta Parliament and get the UDI ready as we want out

    1. Don’t know if she would crush Trump but would not surprise me of she secured the nomination. Certainly a much more potent adversary than the current band of Special Olympians.

      1. Potent adversary? Less qualified than Hillary.

        Mind you “not qualified” isn’t always an election winner for an opponent, is it Mr. Cottons Socks?

        1. Yes a potent adversary. I think she would make an absolutely horrible president but she would likely secure the dhimicrat nomination and be much harder to deal with, for Trump, than any of the current cretins running. Media would declare her super qualified and having unquestionable moral authority because black vagina. All the crazies in dhimicrat race would rally behind her and endorse her because not doing that would be the end of their careers because black vagina. Consequently, she would end the dhimicrat civil war that benefits Trump so immensely.

          It is not the optimal timing for her and she knows it. Expect her to run in 2024 against an unfortunate republican that will have to follow Trump.

    3. I don’t think she will go for it. She is essentially lazy – a queen of Versailles type of person who likes being catered to without expending much effort. Being the “wife” suited her. Being the front person, having to give talks, attend meetings, etc. does not. Plus there is the additional risk that the Obama/Michelle phoniness would be exposed. She has a comfortable set up. I don’t see her as wanting to change that.

      1. “Being the ‘wife’ suited her.”

        Frankly, I’m not sure I blame her.

        Someone once said the best job in Canada was being the Governor General.

        Wrong. The best job is being the Governor General’s spouse.

        “Honey, will I need to wear black tie for this big trip to Paris?”

        1. The most hated GG spouse was John Ralston Saul. One of the biggest A-holes to slime the planet. Gave workmates of mine the throat slash gesture – they were making noise … working on the GG residence. All the NCC people hated him with a passion.

  3. Formulating the future Lion and the Bear of Daniel 7

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-01/special-relationship-collapsing-and-thats-good-thing

    Excerpt;

    The Potential Revival of the ‘Real’ America
    Think what you may of Donald Trump. The fact is, that he has not started any wars which a Jeb or Hillary were happy to launch. He has reversed a regime change program active since 9/11. He has fought to put America into a cooperative position with Russia. He has undone decades of WTO/City of London free trade. He has called for rebuilding productive industries following through by reviving the protective tariff. To top it off, he has been at war with the British-directed deep state for over three years and survived. Now that Bolton has been outed as an ally of Sir Darroch, there is an open acknowledgement that Trump is gearing up to replace the neocon traitor as we speak. Trump has many problems but being a British asset is not one of them.

    If you’ve made it this far, you shouldn’t be surprised that the collapse of the special relationship is a very good thing, since America now has a real opportunity to rediscover its true anti-imperial nature by working with Russia, China, India and other nations under the new cooperative framework of space exploration and the Belt and Road Initiative.

      Trump calls Putin, offers help putting out Siberia wildfires – Moscow

      Excerpt;

      Trump called Putin on Wednesday evening, the Kremlin press service said. The Russian president expressed his “sincere gratitude” for Trump’s concern and offer of a helping hand.

      While Russia does not need third-party assistance for the time being, should such need arise it would avail of the offer, Putin said, adding that it brings a gleam of hope to the strained Russia-US relationship, which has hit new lows under the Trump administration.

      The two leaders agreed to keep in touch, including through meetings in person.

      1. Thanks for link to article that City of London deep staters were behind coup to depose Trump just like they are out to depose Putin. Trump & Putin are making a mess of things for the globalists. That only leaves the Chicons in the good books of the globalists. Their new world order is on hold along with some peoples interpretation of prophecy based on cherry picking stories while being blind to reality.
        NEWS FLASHES:
        Trump ends Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) cuz of Russia in violation.
        Trump sends US warships to gulf to confront Russia ally Iran.
        Trump to blockade Venezuela-China & Russia ally.
        China ready for war over USA helping Taiwan.

      2. “Trump calls Putin, offers help putting out Siberia wildfires”

        Why? Burn baby burn. Never help russians, never.

  7. Trudeau’s CBC is excited about Groper’s second day up north. He will be promising three thousand free homes. Nothing to do with the election of course.

    1. Good news. Phony progressives hate Assange for letting the truth out about the rigged contest to elect their choice HRC.

    1. But no one Is asking the tough question, “Why can’t First Nations run and maintain the systems that are installed?”

      1. I have a friend in water management. Apparently, the First Nations, in particular, Grassy Narrows (at the heart of this controversy), do not want outside assistance with the water plant maintenance. They only want First Nations people to run First Nations projects. And the government is balking at the idea because of the past history of maintenance by First Nations people (just look at most, but not all, reservations for an example of typical First Nations maintenance). So the argument goes back and forth with no end in sight.

      2. “Why can’t First Nations run and maintain the systems that are installed?”
        Short answer. They don’t have to or want to. A local guy from here has built water systems for native bands all across this province. The systems will stop working after awhile and he returns to fix the problem. In most cases the most simple maintenance procedures have been neglected and they won’t hire the work out to someone who will do it or if they have used a local contractor he has been stiffed on the bill and has quit because he can’t work for nothing.
        “It’s de guberments job to fix it”

      3. Every village and hamlet in my part of Alberta has its own water and sewer system and they NEVER seem to have any health problems. A lot of these reserves have $20 or 30 million dollar budgets and can’t run systems that white or non-status Indian villages can run for around $100 per month per household. I run my own water and sewer system. I pay maybe $100 per year for electricity to run the pump and have replaced the pump twice in 30 years for maybe $500 per and I’ve sucked out the septic tank a couple times for $500 per.

        If the federal government is deliberately trying to destroy Indian society by making them helpless children, they are exceeding beyond belief. Why the federal government would even consider funding water and sewer systems outside of regular block funding is stupid beyond belief.

      4. Possibly the people they train get better job offers from elsewhere. There is the diversity card attached to the qualification.

        1. “Possibly the people they train get better job offers from elsewhere.”

          They have special programs to train Indian teachers. Problem is a lot of them would rather teach white kids in suburbia than live in some S hole bush reserve.

  10. We should bring back monarchies it would do the trick against all the rulership that rose up out of ashes after the left designated monarchies the enemy of there people.

    At the same time maybe we outta bring back mental hospitals for the sake of preserving our western values before we lose them to the globalists.

    3. “We should bring back monarchies…”

      Er, excuse me, but “bring back”?

      You were aware that Canada’s constitutional head of state is Queen Elizabeth II?

      (Or are you in the US?)

      1. The Queen in Canada doesn’t get to have the same levels of interference in civil affairs unlike prime ministers.

        We need Kings and Queens

        I live in Canada, way out in Alberta

    4. Lets just put the monarchs in the mental institutions because that’s where those inbred freaks belong.
      Globalists should be hanged.

    1. When there is such a shortage of pipeline space and market access is repeatedly denied by government and courts, the system has to operate as a regulated common carrier. No viable option.

  14. The FIRST Nations in North Battleford are killing each other. 3rd women charge with first degree murder. Let’s blame the White man. Let’s have an inquiry.

  15. If women ran the world, they would be free to kill any children unable to fight back who got in the way of their sex lives, before birth or after it.

    “My body my choice” has always been a lame excuse. Screaming children just get in the way of mommy’s drinking and screwing to block out her self-loathing.

      1. The only traitors are Scheer and the CPC to all Canadian Conservatives

        They headed stage left

        They have no one to blame but themselves

  17. Another resounding renewable energy success!!! 10 years in and they’re coming down, having generated a fraction of what was promised.
    https://www.woodtv.com/news/ottawa-county/zeeland-removing-wind-turbines-after-several-issues/

    Success at gaining somebody $500,000 that is.

    I didn’t realize my stupid state has a 15% “green” energy mandate. I’m guessing they’ll be going after the landfill gas one harder than the others. There’s not much point in installing solar here.

    The gift that keeps on giving.

    https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/trudeaus-top-advisor-accused-indian-pm-of-trying-to-screw-liberals-during-2018-trip-book-excerpt

    What recent history has demonstrated is that when PM Sockmonkey needs sound advice to address an issue in the interest of the nation, he instead opts for bad advice from Butts.
    Case in point.
    JWR advised that SNC was not eligible for a DPA. Butts seemed to be one of the chief cheerleaders for giving SNC the DPA.
    Jody was fired for giving sound advice and was kicked out of caucus, Gerry resigned and is now back on the party payroll.

    I would recommend sending the Sockmonkey a thankyou note for allowing Butts back into the fold giving the voters all the reasons they need to make him a part time drama instructor again.

  22. Aid predators: What ex-UN worker’s sentencing means for international NGOs

    https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/2018/04/21/23/4B67C46F00000578-0-image-a-7_1524349282585.jpg

    Peter Dalglish built up a glittering career in international aid, but it was all a front to allow him to abuse children. What can the aid sector learn from this shocking case?

    Peter Dalglish, a Canadian and former high-level United Nations (UN) official, was arrested in the Republic of Nepal on child sex trafficking charges in April 2018.

    He was found guilty in June this year and sentenced on July 8 to nine and seven concurrent years in jail for child sexual abuse, as well as being ordered to pay around $10,000 to two survivors.

  24. It seems Jeffrey Epstein’s taste for young girls was among the more pedestrian of his disgusting fantasies.

    Epstein described many mad schemes torn from comic books that he described to the scientists he paid to come to his parties, hoping they could help him make them reality. (Of course, none of the scientists will now admit to being seriously tempted to help him.)

    One of them was a plan to use an army of sex slaves to pump out a race of superhumans. Epstein was sure the babies would be superhuman, naturally, because Epstein would be the father.

  29. Not to get off topic here but to return you all to the problems plaguing Toronto (Centre of the Universe), used to be known as Toronto (The Good).

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/fallstaff-north-york-homicide-hanad-abdullahi-1.5233951

    So the indiscriminate shootings continue apace. This will no doubt result in calls for more gun control. Funny thing is I remember growing up in Toronto back in the Fifties and Sixties. Back then I could walk into almost any hardware store or Canadian Tire store and purchase a gun or ammunition without providing a gun licence, no background check, hassle at the checkout, etc. That was back then when Toronto was known as Toronto the Good. The big difference from then to now was Trudeau the First’s immigration policy. Pierre Senior clamped down on immigration from Europe and opened the door for immigrants from Third World countries. So any thinking person must be able to reason that we only have a gun problem now because we have an immigration/irregular migrant problem that has been imported over the last fifty years.

  34. Conrad Black has an interesting story at the National Post website. I don’t agree with him about how Trudeau handled the Lavalin affair but I do agree with him about Big Chief Jody and the Admiral Norman situation. At least Black gives a thoughtful discussion to issues. And Trudeau’s CBC reports that Scheer has given a written promise to increase health transfer payments to the provinces. Groper’s health minister replied with a rant about Doug Ford. We are going to be hearing a lot about evil Doug Ford this election.

  35. Illinois State Senator Indicted for Allegedly Fraudulently Receiving Salary and Benefits from Labor Union

    CHICAGO — A federal grand jury in Chicago has indicted Illinois State Sen. THOMAS E. CULLERTON on embezzlement charges for allegedly fraudulently receiving salary and benefits from a labor union for which he did little or no work.

    Cullerton, 49, of Villa Park, is charged with one count of conspiracy to embezzle from a labor union and employee benefit plans, 39 counts of embezzlement from a labor union, and one count of making false statements in a health care matter, according to an indictment returned Thursday in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Arraignment in federal court has not yet been scheduled.

    So-called health transfers don’t even fund healthcare. Provinces spend the $ where they want.

    Increased transfers has done nothing to solve waiting lists over the past two decades.

    But Scheer only trying to prove he is a big-spending centrist LibCon.

    A @peoplespca government will instead transfer tax points of equivalent value to the provinces.

    We will make provinces fully RESPONSIBLE for health care funding and management, and fully accountable to their citizens for the results.

  37. Our Plan

    It is up to the provinces to implement reforms in line with the more efficient and less costly mixed universal systems of other developed countries. Throwing more federal money at the problem is not the right approach. On the contrary, it is part of the problem. Provincial governments will never make the tough decisions if they can always blame Ottawa for not sending enough money. We must end the current confusion over who does what and who is responsible for the problem.

    A People’s Party government will:

    Replace the Canada Health Transfer cash payments with a permanent transfer of tax points of equivalent value to the provinces and territories, to give them a stable source of revenue. In practice, Ottawa will give up its Goods and Services Tax (GST), and let provincial and territorial governments occupy this fiscal room. In 2019-20, the GST is expected to bring in $40 billion in revenues, the same amount currently transferred by Ottawa.

    Establish a temporary program to compensate poorer provinces whose revenues from the tax will be lower than the transfer payments they used to receive.

    Create the conditions for provincial and territorial governments to innovate. They will be fully responsible for health care funding and management, and fully accountable to their citizens for the results, while Ottawa will respect the Constitution and stop meddling.

    Replying to
    @MaximeBernier

    “Unlike Equalization payments, which are unconditional, the CHT is a block transfer; the funds MUST be used by provinces and territories for the purposes of “maintaining the national criteria” for publicly provided health care in Canada (as set out in the Canada Health Act).”

  42. Blazing Cat Fur has the story on how the Toronto Star is getting one hundred thousand dollars a week from Groper’s bribe money. Just in time for the election. I wonder how much the Globe and Mail is getting from the federal government.

  43. Rex Murphy has a great story on the climate crisis meeting in Sicily, at the National Post website.
