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
…not the stupidest article ever published that I’ve read but close… the cultural implications of the whining and self-pity barrel scraping? I don’t want to think about it. The only comfort is that probably almost nobody will read the article.
“Here’s what women do at Christmas: We think of the gifts, we make the money to buy the gifts, we battle the malls, we schlep, we hide, we wrap, we return the gift when we discover our mother-in-law bought the same gift, we start from scratch, and then we sign your name to the card?”
Single mother … either that or her husband is brilliant.
It’s all so horrible – the affluence, the giving and the getting together with family and friends. I don’t know how much more I can be expected to take. If that’s all she has to bellyache about, life is pretty damn easy for her. Show a little spirit ya joyless, life-hating slug.
I was in Chile in December 2018 to visit my daughter and new son-in-law. Chile is one of only 3 first world countries in South America (the other 2 are Ecuador and British Guyana). It is a beautiful country, but there was not the emphasis on the “getting” at Christmas. Christmas Day, my sister and I spent with our new in-laws in Vina del Mar at the Botanical Park, having a lovely bar-b-que. They were thrilled that I brought gifts from Canada – T-shirts for the guys (Canada Day and the RCMP) and Maple Syrup (Chileans have a very sweet tooth) and a Christmas Ornament for the women and a Dinosaur kit for the little boy. It was a simple, lovely day, spent with new family. That is what Christmas means to me.
Hopefully she ends up as some camel jockeys, 4th wife with a slave sack over her head. Selfish Whining Child
Just another privileged woman determined to nail and hammer and slam together a perfect Christmas no matter how many times she makes her own children cry.
And then she’d whine about those “stressful” holidays.
hey bitch, wan some cheese with that whine????
I stopped reading when it turned into anti-white male crap
she actually mentions white males as the vilains
that was in the third paragraph I think
Another whiny, upper middle class white woman with little use to society. Yawn. Emotional labour? Can she get any dumber? I hope she enjoys the emotional labour of celebrating Christmas alone with her cats after everyone dumps her sorry a$$
“….then we sign your name to the card?”
Do your kids a big favour. Teach them about Santa Claus, but not to believe in Santa Claus.
I would like to inform this cranky, whiny, anti-Christmas harpy … that my wife hasn’t purchased more than a dozen Christmas gifts in our 38 years of marriage? Why? Because she simply isn’t very good at it. And she doesn’t like to do it. She gets stressed out trying to imagine what personalized gift would be clever and creative for the recipient. So I’ve had to do it all. Mostly successfully, but don’t get crushed when I miss the mark. How about taking your imaginary stereotype and shoving it up your twat.
Oh Oh Kenji turned into another Bad Poppa….In future meaning now my name at SDA is Bad Poppa. I am retiring Watcher and becoming Bad Poppa.
Somehow it reminds me of Rita Rudner’s joke, that single men don’t live like people — they live like bears with furniture.
I’ll plead somewhat guilty to that. On the other hand, I did send nice, appropriate presents to both of my brothers who
live in the USA (there’s another one who lives in Mexico, whom I ignore, because he’s a psychopath), and my youngest nephew and
niece (the older nephews and nieces are well into adulthood). I also baked a Reine de Saba cake to bring to the folks who invited me
to have Christmas dinner with them.
And who runs the Canadian Supreme Court?…bunch of Grannies who are International Law Puffins… The next step is full Communism where law doesn’t exist.. The 21 century Stalin butt suckers
Well, talk about another first world problem. Sheesh.
Merry Christmas to all with a special thank you to Kate and the contributors!

You give enough of the wrong people a say in the direction of your society, you get to see the end of your society.
We are officially not only without morals; we are aggressively immoral. Actively against what is good. The official state religion requires child sacrifice (what did you think “abortion” was?). Not only requires it, but requires celebration of it as a gas lit good thing.
So they want because vagina “Ghostbusters” Santa; what difference, at this point, does it make.
On a related note:

So become a feminist (preferable lesbian) don’t have a man in your life and no kids to share Christmas with. Its really quite simple. Just tottaly ignoe Christmas.Go to work Christmas day too. In other words bugger off.
And here I am at work to earn the money to pay the mortgage and not bitching about it (much) while my lovely wife is doing what gives her joy, cooling Christmas dinner
What a whinny piece of work.
Bitchin and complainin…likely 364 days a year.
Shoulda done a better job picking a husband honey…Only sympathy I have for you is found in Websters.
The three women for whom St. Nicholas provided dowries to keep them from being sold into prostitution at least knew when they were well off.
I have better things to do this Christmas than speculate on why this sow doesn’t know when she’s well off. This much I know—it isn’t Santa’s fault.
I spent several hours at a traditional family Christmas with the in-laws yesterday. The grandmother, daughters and sisters-in-law operate as a giant yuletide decorating gang and have a blast doing so. Everyone works full time, has kids and don’t give it second thought. But that’s here in the Plains, not in the snowflake-ridden enclaves of the left.
That was a cry for help. Unless Santa is a psychotherapist she had better write the next letter to someone else. Nut.
Say, Canada Revenue, what’s the tax rate on “Emotional Labour” ?
To Kate Rae, in the spirit of the season may you find peace, blessings and joy anyway.
And you may want to consider getting a cat, or several cats…
…and then on the other hand…there’s my family…where the women take control of it all
and if any of the guys get in the way….or fail to follow orders……they run the risk of being annihilated
And you just sit back and enjoy the results, right?
I m 60 years old, I m a man
in my experience it is women who want to do all that from shopping to cooking to decorating
it is not the patriarchy that imposes that on women, its women who want to do all that
I don t know any man who is into christmas as much as his wife is
it is absurd to blame white men for what women chose to impose on themselves
SO very true CF, so very true.
Merry Christmas.
