  1. // Calgary Sun: Do you think the UCP government is doing what it was voted in to do? //
    Not interested in the poll, but here,from the same firm, is Colby Cosh:

    Colby Cosh: The creeping horror Alberta never knew it was voting for October 28, 2019

    surely nothing in the budget is as surprising and tragicomic as the choice to de-index tax bracket boundaries, tax credits, and adult welfare payments. […] This creates the phenomenon known as “bracket creep,” […] During the non-indexed years, Reformers would barely let a week go by without denouncing bracket creep. This opposition research practically does itself. If you search openparliament.ca for the words “bracket creep” https://openparliament.ca/search/?q=%22bracket%20creep%22 you find that the heaviest user of the phrase in Parliament’s recorded history was Monte Solberg, with 38 search hits. The silver medal goes to Jason Kenney, with 26.

  2. A brief comment on the CA fires, more building equals more destruction. Almost sounds like the perfect economic activity, build, burn it build it again.

      1. Doesn’t matter, the feds are footing the bill for multi million dollar homes. Just read more, and just like Florida, SC. NC and many other costal areas the rich get their homes replaced. Don’t be a poor bastard with a cottage.

  3. Comforting to know Trudeau has appointed Landslide Annie as Liberal advisor from the West. He has slim pickings. He will have to find something for poor old Ralphie to keep him occupied. He could do his head bobbing routine as one of Trudeau’s “Independent” Senators when there’s an empty seat.

    1. There should be an empty seat, as someone just resigned — indicating that it was all a sham.

  4. Whiny indians in Manitoba are taking the government to court over a hydro transmission line to the States. They were not properly consulted. All projects in Canada must be approved by indians. No word on whether the UN will get involved. They obviously need a ten year inquiry with a sixty million dollar payout. In other news, Doug Ford is Hitler.

  5. An item of good news in a world of bad news. BNN-Bloomberg has just now reported that the Toronto Star reported a loss of $41-million in the third quarter 2019, and has suspended its dividend. The Star’s wondrous board of directors will decide if and when the dividend will be brought back.

    1. I guess all that taxpayer money Blackie sent to the Toronto Star isn’t helping. He will have to send more or Heather Mallick will have to get a job stocking shelves at the Dollarama. And Blackie’s CBC is excited that whiny indians out west have stated that Wexit cannot happen without their permission.

      1. If they are getting a government subsidy st all, they must certainly should not be paying dividends.

      2. Todays’ message from your Overlords, and their organs ie the CBC.
        NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, CONFORM, SUBMIT, STAY ASLEEP, BUY, WATCH TV, NO IMAGINATION, and DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY. “They Live”

      3. And one more OJ: The question, of course, is what effect does such screen consumption have on one’s mind?
        Psychologically it is similar to drug addiction. Researchers found that “almost immediately after turning on the TV, subjects reported feeling more relaxed, and because this occurs so quickly and the tension returns so rapidly after the TV is turned off, people are conditioned to associate TV viewing with a lack of tension.” Research also shows that regardless of the programming, viewers’ brain waves slow down, thus transforming them into a more passive, nonresistant state.
        Historically, television has been used by those in authority to quiet discontent and pacify disruptive people. “Faced with severe overcrowding and limited budgets for rehabilitation and counseling, more and more prison officials are using TV to keep inmates quiet,” according to Newsweek.

  6. Brexit Is A Symptom. This applies in spades to Canada.. The post National State.
    This is why the Liberals scrambled to own the msm before the election and why every cultural group and scam in Canada is heavily funded. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
    The State Propagandists like our own state Pravda, the CBC are In overdrive brainwashing the sheep day and night for PM Blackie and the elite in power. This is why the western Independence movement is growing fast and why the Centralization of all power in Canada by PET and accelerated by Ottawa since is doomed to failure. The proles hate the elite globalist forces.

    1. “”But these events like Brexit, Trump, Catalonia and others are castigated as the real problems not the symptoms of the much deeper problems caused by unsustainable political and economic systems based on fraud, cheap money, theft and propaganda.””

      People are focused on the sock-puppet and not the hand up the sock-puppets ass end.
      It’s no coincidence that the the two wings of the UNI-party have similar platforms advancing the globalist agenda.
      The same hand operates from behind the curtain. Puppets don’t make policies.

      When Butts takes the top job at WWF Canada Inc. , who is he working for when he sits down with the oil patch execs & BayStreet Bankers?

      Elections have consequences. You get what you vote for.

      1. …When Butts takes the top job at WWF Canada Inc. , who is he working for when he sits down with the oil patch execs & BayStreet Bankers?…

        The Rothschilds.

        It was they who Initially Financed the WWF and it was they who installed Canada’s Premier NAZI as it’s CEO … at that time. Nothing has changed since then. Butts, Trudeau, Freeland, McKenna, Telford et all…? they all bend the knee to the UN, Uncle George and his fellow “philanthropists”

        The Rank, Putrid & strong Stench of Maurice Strong wafts uber alles.

    2. In a recent issue of Science, the main publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, there was an article about Brexit and several researchers made their comments about how they might be affected.

      All of them sounded were like: “Waaaaaah! Big bad Brexit is going to take away my golden hog trough! If I stay here in the UK, I might actually have to go to work for a living.”

      Not one of them said anything about Brexit being about liberation from the EU and its far-reaching tentacles. So long as they got their paycheques and continued their research (on someone else’s nickel, of course), their attitude would be “I’m all right, Jack.”

      Sorry, folks, but none of you get any sympathy from me. Try doing something vocational once in a while. It won’t kill you.

  7. Ontario’s Great Yellow and Green Hope, Double-cross Doug Ford, continues to “Fight for the little guys” by appeasing the rabid vegan crowd.

    Under McGuinty’s animal welfare legislation the fine for causing an animal distress and/or not providing standards of care was $60,000.
    Double-cross Doug and his pink sheep have raised that to a fine of $130,000 for a first offence and $260,000 for a second one. A corporation (as many farms are)- $500,000 for the first time and $1 million for a subsequent offence.

    1. If they want Toronto’s “finest” to investigate they need to point out one of the individuals was wearing a yellow vest.

  8. And back to Grand Solar Minimum. Oh My no AGW. Gulf Stream south of Greenland Coldest in 1000 years. Same scenario preceded the Maunder Minimum and the LLIA. Wake Up, you will need fossil fuel and you will be on your own. The Liberals and the elite want you DEAD. So you will not get this info from State Controlled media, they will never accept responsibility for being wrong, the sun is going into a cooling cycle. And the Globalists want less useless eaters. Next year will be worse.

    1. I just read a press release in which Akita Drilling discussed its third quarter results. It has now more than 15 rigs in the U. S., most of which are based in Texas. In the oil business, you go to where the money is.

  9. The Chinese Veterans Society celebrates communism and the Peoples Liberation Army in Toronto. National Post website reports on the heart warming event in Richmond Hill, where commies dressed up in PLA uniforms celebrate the Chinese army’s Tianamen massacre and and its wonderful history. And don’t miss the Post story on a generation screwed because of Blackie’s deficits.

  10. Put this under “juxtaposition this”

    Remember how the MTV (Liberals,NDP,Ottawa press gallery and the progressive rentamob et al) got in high dudgeon when Kellie Leitch advocated for a values test for new immigrants?

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-values-test-immigration-1.534065

    What a wise leader would do is to release a statement that any applicant that wanted to can apply to live outside of Quebec and after their application was approved can move to Quebec as a Canadian citizen. But that is what a wise leader would do.

  11. Good article in today’s NP written by U/C prof Barry Cooper on conservatism in Canada. Does it, did it ever exist?

    Perhaps someone with some cut and paste skills can post it.

      1. Thank you NR.

        Conservatism has always been difficult in Canada. There used to be a solid base in old PQ and there still is albeit in ever decreasing numbers.

  12. Meanwhile in the Land of Sunny Days, Pixie Dust and Unicorn Pharts, we have this piece of news today.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/quebec-to-impose-values-test-for-new-immigrants/ar-AAJzPLi?ocid=spartandhp

    I seem to remember a conservative MP that once upon a time advocated for the same process for immigration to Canada and was resoundingly castigated as being a racist. Now Quebec has committed to this program does that mean that the Rest of Canada is duty bound to accept all of the rejects that fail to qualify for residence in Quebec. Like the adage stated “You get what you vote for!”, well I sure as shoot’in didn’t vote for this mess that is and has been forced on me by the 63% of dumb and ignorant Canadians that helped elect this present government. As the leader of the Bloq declared in his victory speech “Quebec First” and the Rest of Canada can to coin a phrase “Go suck eggs” with apologies to James Street.

    Apologies also to Joseph as I was compiling this and didn’t see his comment above.

  13. Not one single indian has the right to stop anything in the national interest. Maybe because the idiot Trudeau says we are a post national state that law no longer means anything. if that is true then I guess murder is no longer a crime.

    1. From one old white guy to another old white guy, murder will always be a crime for those of us that adhere to certain immutable principles. For others not so much and maybe that is why they are constantly trying to ram their principles down our throats because they know we are loathe to discard our beliefs until pushed to the extreme limits. Unfortunately we are slowly being pushed to those limits.

  14. I hereby propose a petition that the public, no matter where they are in Canada, can embrace.

    WE, THE PEOPLE, DEMAND THAT BECAUSE OF HIS CONTINUED LEFTIST POLICIES AND VIRTUE
    SIGNALLING, THAT MAYOR OF TORONTO JOHN TORY BE FORCED TO CHANCE HIS NAME. MORE APPROPRIATE
    CHOICES INCLUDE:

    A) JOHN LIBERAL
    B) JOHN ELITIST
    C) JOHN TRUDEAU
    D) JOHN LGBTQ

  15. WEXIT RALLY for NOV 2 in Edmonton at the Legislature is completely SOLD OUT. Maybe Trudeau should show up and tell the folks what he is giving to Alberta. HA HA HA. He would be as welcome as a Pork Sandwich at a Jewish Wedding.
