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."

Trump The Establishment
What a lovely treat for Sunday morning. Thanks
She just slays them. Great speech.
Cries of rampant racism in our own “me too” country are out of control as well, and are being used by Liberals to shut down voices that have concerns about their handling of immigration. Owen is a refreshing change from the Democrat and Liberal exploitation of race.
…but without racism…what have they got?
High morals? (whispered in ear “the party of pedophiles, rapists, and child grooming, change the subject”), ah, er, I meant….
High expectations? (whispered in ear “socialism has failed everywhere it’s tried and has a huge body count, welfare is used as a means to dependency to harvest votes”) ah, er, I meant…
Love for the environment (whispered in ear “their protest areas look like garbage dumps, and they’re the source of streets littered with feces and drug paraphenalia”) ah, er, I meant…
We must save Mother Earth (whispered in ear “rich societies demand clean air and don’t cause extinctions, poor societies can’t afford to plan ahead”) ah, er, I meant…..
Nice socks!
She is truly an American treasure and the Democrats have good reason to be terrified of her. By their own twisted racist rules she is almost untouchable, hence the clumsy attack by trying to deliberately misrepresent her words here. And as Candace herself pointed out, how odd that the Dems could not supply a single black Democrat voice to sell their BS white-supremacy narrative to this committee.
I don’t know what her aspirations are, but I can see Candace leading the GOP to victory after Trump retires from the WH.
And she certainly has waaaay bigger balls than Andrew Scheer…. but then she is a REAL conservative who actually sees that the liberal status quo is UNACCEPTABLE and who has the fire in her belly to FIGHT BACK.
CO, I didn’t see Andrew Scheer in the video nor is he involved in anything where he could be accused of being racist.
I’m really not seeing much hope for Canada, when Conservatives keep eating their own, which they are very good at, we get exactly what we have right now.
Well, Liz J, Andrew Scheer is most certainly not “our own” to me, so why would I treat him as such?
And tell me, do you show the same ‘concern’ here when some “eat our own” Max Bernier?
I didn’t think so.
Max will not form government, that’s the problem, he wasn’t chosen leader, it was unfortunate, it was so close, this is not about Max Bernier. IMO we need to do whatever it takes to boot the Trudeau Cabal from the seats of power and that isn’t protest voting.
Max is able to say whatever he wishes, I do agree with much he has to say but this election is about getting rid of a bad government. Having a coalition of the left in the case of a minority result would be a nightmare.
Absolutely, Liz. Max has the best take on this whole Trudeau blackface thing, which is that watching Scheer go out there and pander to the Left by denouncing Trudeau on racial grounds is disgusting.
But I’m still voting for Scheer. Because a vote for Max puts Trudeau back in power. Real Life sucks, don’t it? ~:(
Liz J, I believe our difference in opinion could probably be fairly summed up this way….
In my opinion, those supporting Scheer’s CPC are more intent on playing the ‘short-game’, while many of us trying to support Bernier’s PPC are thinking more of the ‘long-game’.
I understand that you feel cleansing ourselves of Trudeau is priority #1, but a Scheer win does NOTHING to cleanse us of our true greatest enemy…. the Canadian mainstream media. Until THEY are vanquished, I see any successful Conservative government as an impossibility in this country.
To my mind, we tried the short-game with Harper and it was such a dismal failure that it directly led to these 4 horrid years of Trudeau. Four years of the media and establishment left undermining and beating the crap out of a Scheer government and we may end up even worse off than we are with Trudeau now…. as hard as that is to imagine.
Good way to frame it, CO. I wish more of the Max supporters would be that open and direct.
I’m in Calgary, and we’re still trying to recover from Notley. Protest votes may ultimately lead in the right direction, but they can cause a lot of damage in the short term. I’m not convinced that the damage that would be caused by 4 more years of Trudeau is worth the possibility of better results later on.
Shear (SP deliberate) isn’t my choice, but my local candidate is Michelle Rempel. Keeping her in office is well worth the cost of having an ineffectual party head.
I’m in mining (go figure) and it’s a field that has had a lot of union negotiations troubles. I’m a mine planner and have been on the opposite side of strike votes from my friends at mines I’ve worked at. We play pool and poker and spend a lot of time BSing to pass the time when at camp. I’ve tried to convince them to look at how many years it would take them to earn back 2 weeks wages for the raise they’re willing to strike over. In one case, over 2 years for 25 cents an hour.
Ran out of time to edit.
Voting for Max is, to me, like striking for 6 month for an additional 10 cents an hour. You’ll feel good about yourself, but you’ll never get back the lost wages/potential for the time you were out.
The costs could be huge, the trust/distrust in the working environment is big, the workplace is tense and less productive for a long time after the supposed reconciliation. You’ll never be able to come back to where the rift started, and will most likely harden future opposition between like travelers.
I’m of the opinion that the level of incompetence being displayed by Shear (a la sheep) isn’t high enough to piss away a chance to be rid of Trudeau.
Your vote, your choice.
liz of course it’s not about MAX it’s about yer stupidity, and the stupidity of those like minded to you, Id’ rather die fighting than live under a so called con, AKA bible thumping idiot who has no effing clue
@ Phantom:
“…watching Scheer go out there and pander to the Left by denouncing Trudeau on racial grounds is disgusting.”
Always apply to the enemy the rules of engagement they have adopted themselves. They lost on issues with Martin, Dion, Ignatief. They won on wokeness with Aladdin. Ok then, destroy Aladdin, keep hammering he is a fraud using terms that squishy middle of the road lobotomized undecided voters can understand.
Playing fair, especially when dealing with scum as despicable as Libranos is for losers. Play to win using every dirty tactic on the books. Moral victories aka French victories, are just like real victories except for the “victory” part. We are risking too much to play fair.
Agree with the rest of what you said.
“n my opinion, those supporting Scheer’s CPC are more intent on playing the ‘short-game’, while many of us trying to support Bernier’s PPC are thinking more of the ‘long-game’.”
Nonsense. Empowering enemy is not long term, it is equivalent to sucking someone’s dick until their balls are empty, that sure will show them.
A real long terms strategy, is the one that works, the one that the left has adopted decades ago, and the one that lead to left’s stunning success on the political arena. Here it goes:
Between two most likely outcomes pick the one on the right.
Lather rinse repeat.
That is all there is to it. That is all the left has been doing for decades. Time for the right to get it, instead of compulsively masturbating to visions of the promised libertarian nirvana. Fight every minor fight and don’t mind getting dirty doing it.
“And tell me, do you show the same ‘concern’ here when some “eat our own” Max Bernier?”
Great, another demagogue and happens to be a a Maxipad supporter, who would have thought?
It is your beloved Maxipad that threw a temper tantrum after losing his bid to lead conservatives and has since done everything in his power to help Libranos to victory.
Colon, you are an arrogant prick with no respect for anybody’s opinion but your own… so GFY.
I may be arrogant but I am not a demagogue, you are. Typical for Maxipads.
P.S. Respect is earned and opinions are like … being one, you surely know the rest.
Nothing wrong with Andrew Scheer. That’s BS from the fake PPC party.
He will be a refreshing change from the incompetent morons running things now.
bob Daye, I had that idiot scheep on my FB page trying to convince people he was not too young to be leader, any fool who tries that is not and nevr will be a leader, there are those of us who have greater ability to assess who is and who is not leadership quality. And scheep is as bad or worst than the Turd
That was AWESOME!!!
Candace has been “black in America her whole life” … yet somehow has thrived despite all the “white privilege” engulfing her.
Bravo Candace!! Bravo
Anyone who uses race as an excuse for failure in a liberal democratic society is a racist. I don’t know the truth but it is reported that Nigerian immigrants are some of the most successful people in America and there is no mistaking them for not being black. East Indians, in Canada, might possibly the highest rate of millionaires of any group in Canada and they don’t project warm fuzzies to Canadians. The first part of success is to get off you ass and work hard at everything and invest in the future.
Well said, scar.
The ‘racism of low expectations’ is the basis of much of the left’s social platform, yet it is in itself a wholly destructive force against minorities.
Just think of the evilness needed to brainwash young minorities to believe that they are at a natural disadvantage in life simply because they are not white. You don’t get any more racist than that. It is sick and demented and they must be exposed for this warped and cruel behavior. When you also add the evil intent to convince today’s youth that they have NO future because of climate change, it becomes quite clear that the partisan left will stop at NOTHING to gain and hold power.
Despicable human beings.
Thomas Sowell calls it the soft bigotry of low expectations.
“you’re a girl, you can’t do math, let’s make it easier for you because you’re just a poor, dumb, girl” is a slap in the face to the many female engineers I work with who can and did to the math and have chosen this career path. Ditto racism to say skin colour makes a difference in what one can or cannot achieve. I’ll agree that culture makes a huge difference, but superficial differences like skin colour don’t matter much in my experience.
I exclusively use/hire a Nigerian immigrant as my consulting geotechnical engineer. He is the blackest shade of black. He is also the nicest man and most competent, consistent, geotechnical engineer’s I’ve worked with. Speaks perfect English, and we never have communications problems. In the time he’s lived here in the States, he’s started his own business, and moved into one of the most expensive lillywhite suburbs in the SF Bay Area. His color means NOTHING to me. All that matters to me is that he is an ardent soccer fan. Oh, and his wife is an equally wonderful woman.
He has somehow managed to grab himself a huge helping of “white privilege” … despite looking as dark as your PM in shoe polish
Democrats just can’t help themselves. They’ve never been so pissed off since they lost the Civil War. Like Trudeau, they truly are racist.
you missed part of the line, “they’ve never been so pissed off since they lost the Civil War and the Republicans took away and freed their slaves.”
Candace isn’t playing by the rules.
She’s supposed to curl up into the fetal position and apologize when they lie about her, like a proper Republican or Canadian conservative politician.
She’s very quick on her feet and deserves full marks for her courage
It’s not easy to go against the herd.
But the concept of calling someone a liar and correcting them when they lie about you is something that every conservative politician should have been able to figure out years ago. That’s just common sense but it’s something that mainstream conservative politicians seem to be completely baffled by.
Are they too dumb to figure that out or are they just gutless wonders that won’t stand up?
stan it’s their kristian way, trust me on that, I’v seen it work with people who are smart and aggressive in every way except when it gets to politics, they don’t want to upset anyone
The White female (?) PhD’s are experts on racism…they are the racists that attack any black who questions the agenda of Communist conquest… 3 against one… is about right.
The Ladies of PC are knee-capping themselves, but they are so smart they don’t see the hypocrisy….
Watch the NFL anti-Trust exemption evaporate after BROWN.. Sick shit on both fronts
The conservative in this country should watch and learn what the force of a sound argument looks like.
The lady has no fear, knows whereof she speaks and will not give in.
One must say that she has an advantage, even the racist “democrats” can not and will not argue with her.
Being a recognizable black woman with a force of argument, they can’t assault her.
In another hearing that is on YouTube, she is wrongly accused of disparaging a member of the committee by Nadler. It was obvious that the guy was sleeping on the job since she said no such thing.
Then, questioned by republican senators, she really rolled over “democrats” without mercy.

Note how observant and quick she is when Sheila Jackson Lee holds a picture of a burning church
I watched this incident and couldn’t help but notice at the very end just before it fades to black a certain member of the committee almost falling off his chair since he was laughing so hard. Jim Jordan couldn’t help himself since Candace had served up such a large helping of Whoop-ass. It was a delight to see.
As for the above opinions about our politicians, their past performance has shown that they are all as insipid as the Democratic contestants are, with the exception of Max. An unknown quality, a dark horse if you will, how he fares in the next debates may convince enough voters to finally listen to reason and realize that the socialist lifeboat that the others are all proposing is nothing more than a con job perpetrated on the Canadian voter in an unbridled grab for power. Governments do not have money to spend on the programs that they are all promising, that is an absolute truth. Governments get money through taxes and every one of the incumbents, except Max, have promised to spend billions on programs that they have no idea on how to finance other than to raise taxes.
WOW!
That little girl has more balls and honesty than 99.9 percent of male politicians in the US and Canada.
the good news is, when leftoids do this, they show just what vicious and dangerous liars they are.
occasionally they pick an articulate tough lady like Ms Owens.
as antenor puts it, whoopassus maximus.
good looking smart ass hell, and a real conservative, something missing from the Canadian conservative crop
Regarding the comments about our Canadian choices.
If your in Western Canada…your vote is irrelevant any how. Remember. Brian won his second majority with out the need for even one western vote.
