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."

facebook cut off? New great firewall of Hong Kong?
Yes our controllers don’t want us to see the real world we are all entrapped in
Props to Michael Yon for picking out the two most adorable English speaking chinese girls (22yo women) that he can find. Even in their black masks, they’re cute as baby Pandas.
Which brings into focus the BIG problem in Little Hong Kong … the protestors aren’t ollllld baby boomers … they’re the YOUNG … who DEMAND Freedom, Liberty, and Capitalism. Good Luck with THAT, Red China.
Pro Tip: Hey Red China! Here’s how FREE Market Capitalism works … when your cheap Chinese shit gets more expensive … e.g. through Tariffs … it doesn’t “hurt” the Consumer. The consumer just STOPS consuming your cheap shit. The dollars stay in our pockets. Our dollars find alternatives. THAT, my little RED friends, is how the FREE Consumer behaves. Make a note of it.
Tienanmen also took this long.
I am glad that the Chinese Communist Party has decided to not send in the Army and try to break the protests with overwhelming force. I really thought they might this weekend. But the Communists have decided to start arresting anyone they thing is an effective protest leader. I hope the arrested are not sent to China and disappeared into their Gulag.
Please pray for the Hong Kong protesters, especially those that have been arrested.
L-The reason that Hong Kong is the 3rd largest capital market in the world, NYC being the first and London, U.K. being the second, has something to do with it’s British Common-law history and Rule of Law. In effect, it offers to investors, a 3rd British Common-Law jurisdiction.
Industrious and highly intelligent Hong Konger’s (a cute phrase they use), usee that colonial advantage and made it the favoured venue for investment in China and Western Pacific.
If the Chi-Coms crush Hong Kong’s trusted status as a financial market. Would the result be a recession in China ? Your move, Bejing !
By the by, would a few hundred thousand Hong Kong financial elite be able to set up shop in Calgary, and thus help finance a sovereign Alberta? (just asking for a friend…err neighbour)
Interesting comments about safe status of Hong Kong as a British-rule-of-law based financial center. I hadn’t looked at it that way, and I think you’re right that Xi can’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs without a lot of people going hungry and getting mad at him.
The old saying “The King can’t be wrong” is easy to misunderstand. It means, if Xi gets this wrong, he doesn’t get to be king anymore. If the Party feels threatened enough it will depose him to save itself from the People if the people appear to feel angry/threatened enough to depose the Party. It won’t much matter whether the goose that lays golden eggs gets away or is killed, it will be very much missed, and someone is going to be blamed.
They will dump Xi and send the army to crush the protests when they get tired of the whole thing..
I am waiting for the entire Hong Kong population to “disappear”, easily replaced by the large population on the mainland.
