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
Meet the ‘businessman’. NEW LOOK FOR TRUDEAU
Just you wait, tomorrow he will take off his jacket, loosen his tie, roll up his sleeves and . . .
Really get down to business!
I can’t believe the Calgary Sun published this FAN BOY garbage but there it is.
**Trudeau has exhibited a fondness for facial hair in the past.
In younger days, including when he was first elected as an MP, he sported a variety of moustaches, goatees and the occasional beard, along with longer, more unruly hair. Critics carped from time to time that he looked like a pirate or a drug lord.
But since being elected Liberal leader in 2013, Trudeau has resolutely stuck to short locks and a clean-shaven face — until now.
His new beard is neatly trimmed and flecked liberally with grey. It seems to match Trudeau’s stated intention to take a lower profile, more businesslike approach to his second mandate, keeping the focus on concrete bread-and-butter initiatives and shifting the spotlight to his team of cabinet ministers.**
he’s back from his Costa Rica vacation. Time for the populace to get our injection of media garbage.
“**Trudeau has exhibited a fondness for facial hair in the past.”
He’s also exhibited a fondness for blackface, fake bulges in his trousers, and pi$$ing-away our tax dollars at a horrendous rate on fine wine, two-planes-and-a-helicopter vacations and greeeen rubbish. That he was re-elected speaks volumes about what a truly pathetic loser Andrew Who was.
That he’s spent all his time since he was re-elected hiding somewhere or on vacation at our expense, instead of, you know, actually doing the job he’s paid to do and tackling Canada’s problems ICW the NDP, speaks volumes about what a pathetic loser he is. I dunno – he’s given-up on actually trying to govern, so maybe we should count our blessings…
I think it speaks more to how much Shiny’s favoured diversity groups and their media mouth pieces despise the CPC and their supporters. A more skilled CPC leader could have beaten Shiny even though that win would have been historic. Scheer’s lack of leadership is really showing up now that he lost. The CPC is going to split unless someone very skilled can keep the base on board. Frankly, I don’t see that person.
The major problem with the CPC is that it’s elite are not of the same cloth as it’s voters. How many CPC voters would vote for Tasha? Rona? Anderson? Baird? Or, McLaughlin? All of them scolding the base on how they have to be more like the Liberal/NDP cabal!
“focus on concrete”
well shucksamighty monsieur TURDoo why dincha say so earlier?

The Headline in Canada regarding Trump’s strike on the Iraninian Terrorists should have been: Trump Hits Trudeau’s Base Hard! https://twitter.com/nspector4/status/1214561770167123970

Hardly looks like his father Fidel at all!
I’ll bet that Prinz Dummkopf is havana good time imitating his father. All he needs is to wear fatigues and chew on cigars to make the look complete.
He’s cracked. It will be interesting to see what his Soleimani in socks phase will manifest.
It’s usually the ndp lefties that support a beard or facial hair. It identifies them with their marxists working class hero’s castro or che.
Few serious business types sport facial hair.
I hope he continues to sport the look. I suspect that if he does we will soon see sycophant Chrystia Freeland’s beard….
Chrystia is his beard? Nice.
So the PMO just produces this shit sandwich and the press eats it right up.
The world must revolve around him or he’ll collapse into a thumb-sucking ball.
He’s incapable of any anti-narcissistic change.
He believed it his fate to be PM, but one that is hated and loathed like a pestilence was not part of his cuckoo narrative.
Probably heard at least three times a day from his security team leader: “WTF is it now?!”
Heh. Anybody else see the poll before the election, that Liberal supporters wanted the Liberals to win another majority, but only 29% of them wanted him back as Prime Minister?
As flaky as a ping pong ball in a whirlwind – and about as useful.
If I stop shaving for a couple of weeks do I get extensive media coverage (and over the top twitter coverage from Sheila the Rebel)?
It’s just hair.
I know a rather rude phrase concerning beards, but decorum prohibits me from repeating it here. I think there are a few people on SDA who might know what I’m referring to.
that’s his Soleimani look.. “Look at me Donald.”

The photo in the NP, and article, were positively hagiographic, or pornographic, depending upon your appreciation of propaganda.
Dear Leader posing purposely contemplating the fate of the nation. The weight of leadership resting easily on his broad shoulders and furrowed brow.

Or maybe it just a coincidence, but further to my post yesterday about Yamato, John Batchelor has a detailed segment on the same: https://audioboom.com/posts/7471554-soleimani-and-yamamoto-sloppy-and-dead-billroggio-thomasjoscelyn
Yamamoto not Yamato, one was an admiral the other world’s second most overrated battleship.
I dunno – you gotta feel a bit of… at least, wonder for Musashi – a battleship that absorbed 19 torpedoes before it sank. And admittedly, the Americans should’ve put them all on one side; but the British made the same mistake on Bismarck.
– that’s Yamato I’m talking about, not Yamamoto – thought I should clarify 😉
A number of those torps hit when she was already going under, they just made her go faster. IIRC she used voice tubes for internal communication…. voice tubes, that is a perfect example of how obsolete she was. Yamato, I mean, it was ok for Yamamoto to use a voice tubes… though probably not necessarily for internal communication.
I shouldn’t post late at night on my phone! Thanks for the correction!!

Don’t ask a Canadiens baker to bake that!
I’d rather have a Maple Leafs food cake anyways.
“why would anyone in the province want to make a Toronto Maple Leafs cake?”
We all know the story about the poor little Quebec boy who got a Maple Leaf sweater when he wanted a Montreal Canadienne sweater. Here’s a slightly different version:

“Several thousand people, many of them Jews, rallied in several cities in France to protest a court’s ruling not to try a Muslim man who confessed to killing his Jewish neighbor while shouting about Allah.”
This is a good read.
**For 40 years, Tehran’s philosophy has been simple and direct: ‘Death to America!’
Since 1979, no one in the United States has figured out a good way to handle the regime in Tehran. For 40 years, we’ve been having the same arguments, and no matter what we tried, the results were disappointing.
…
Last week, President Trump moved past the sanctions, exposure of their agents, and all the other measures that have hurt the Tehran regime on the periphery. He went after the chief architect of Iran’s regional aggression and left Qasem Soleimani a corpse on the road to Baghdad International Airport. Maybe this strike will make things worse, in the sense of bringing this constant low-level conflict with the Iranian regime into high-level open conflict. But now everyone in the Iranian regime has a new factor in their calculations: If the Americans can find and kill Qasem Soleimani, they can probably find just about anyone up and down the chain of command. Maybe the audacity of this attack stirs the Iranian leaders into a frenzy — or maybe it gets them to think twice and hesitate and face their own concerns about tit-for-tat escalation into all-out war. Such a war would undoubtedly hurt the United States, but it would devastate Iran.**
https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/death-to-america-iran-philosophy-for-40-years/
Yep
The chess board got realigned.
The Iranians in order to retaliate have to except the prospect that someone at the top will get Salami’d by a drone for even planning a retaliatory action.
It’s not the minions that are afraid of the repercussions it’s the mullahs.
If they wait to long to retaliate, the fear factor that keeps them in power will start to fade.
Time is not on their side.
The Mad Mullahs declared war on America as soon as they returned from exile in Paris, 40 years ago, and have been waging it ever since. And ever since then they have spread their ideological poison around the globe. The lowest point in this story must be when Jimmy Carter refused entry into the USA for the Shah who was suffering from cancer. Musn`t upset the Mullahs sensitivities. Take over an Embassy, musn`t upset the Mullahs. And on and on it went, appeasement, after appeasement (ssshh, we need their oil). Until now. The Obama/ Jarrett clique thought giving them money would make them like us. There is only one way to deal with such a regime and thank goodness, at last, there is the man for the times Donald Trump. he knows how to play hardball. I feel for the Iranian people who were a damn sight better off under the Shah than the present rag tag lunatics.
at the very *least* POTUS Trump clarified things.
fed up with decades of quibbling and hand wringing.
I get the impression the man is assuredly NOT a hand wringer.
more like a neck wringer.
I see the Finns are about to embark on the 6 hour day 4 day work week. Having already tried and failed with a guaranteed annual income – this time they are determined to get it right.
I could never figure out why Finland fought the Soviet Union in WW11, the Finns love communism. Many moved join the commies in Karelia in the 30’s. They found out good and hard what a nice guy uncle joe stalin was.
Maybe their 30 something single mom prime minister hasn’t read any history…ya think?
Media reports this Tuesday morning say 35 Iranians were killed, and 40 more injured, in a stampede at the late General Soleimani’s funeral. A real tragedy that. Reminds me of the time of the dear Ayatollah Khomeini’s funeral, in June 1989, when the mourners became so frenzied, they charged the casket and spilled his corpse onto the ground.
oh gawd that was rich wasnt it? the revered potentate looking like road kill.
Media reports (e,.g., Vancouver Sun) say the Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau now sports a salt-and-pepper beard, since coming back from his not so private vacation.
(Sorry for no links, but I cannot get to my PC computer, since doing so would wake up my wife).
Sorry I did not see the earlier posts on this thread. This stupid move by the Rt. Hon. one, as to his beard, will create unnecessary commentary from all sides.
Pfft. I strongly disagree.
The f**ktards on Shit-for-Brain’s side only ever make unnecessary commentary on his looks, clothing and appearance because its necessary to comment on his looks, clothing and appearance because – as we on the Right and Normal side know – he’s an empty vessel, on a good day, a shallow puddle of piss.
Besides his last name, the only reason he was elected was because of his appearance. He’s a neurotic actor playing a part and there is nothing Right or Honourable about him.
Blackie’s loyal and drooling media continue to mourn the death of the Iranian terrorist this morning. And Post Millennial reports that Blackie’s CBC is asking permission from Ottawa to show less Canadian content. I guess over a billion dollars a year of taxpayer money is not enough. I hope this doesn’t effect its new Canadian version of Family Feud, or its revamping of Anne Of Green Gables every year. Well, as long as the cutbacks don’t effect its daily coverage that Canadians are racist bastards.
Lilley at the Toronto Sun website writes about Canadians supporting Iran.
SDAers are invited to flame me for this, but it must be said. Conservatives like myself support Trump’s actions against Iran, and as seen the dominant left-wing establishment has condemned Trump’s actions. But a few days ago, Trump tweeted that the U.S. has targeted 52 Iranian targets, “some of them cultural”. Needless to say, the anti-Trump media cartel distorted this to say that ALL 52 targets are “cultural”. And the cartel is playing the cultural aspect repeatedly.
So why would Trump say something dumb like having cultural targets? First off, targeting cultural institutions, like antiquities, is a war crime. Ssecond, such a move would anger people of all political stripes, including me. Third, standard military tactics state that any initial cruise missle strikes would target leaders (“decapitation”), radar installations and Iran’s cruise missile sites. Only a fool would waste precious cruise missiles on cultural sites.
To be fair, in a later tweet Trump said that, if the U.S. retaliated, it would target Iran’s leaders. But the media cartel will still sharp on the first tweet. It is idiot tweets like this which will put the Democrats in the White House.
Unlike a lot of other “leaders”, Trump actually uses twitter for more than campaigning.the
Twitter posts played a large role in dealing with North Korea for example.
What are the Iranians thinking when they read about cultural targets? What are cultural targets anyway? Does that mean the mosque of the mullahs while they are all at services?
Some people take Trump literally but not seriously, others do the opposite. As far as what gets targeted in Iran, I don’t much care. Iran has been at war with west since 1979, and every now and then someone on our side notices.
The only way to beat these vile thugs is to beat them at their own game.You knock down the twin towers we knock down your mosques,you burn down Christian churches and murder Christians we hit your place of worship.Keep up the good work Trimp
Due to being an Islamic republic that makes any physical component of the religion part of the culture.
Any physical component including those that use the religion to legitimize their authority over the people of Iran.
Ergo, targeting the culture should be understood as anyone holding a religious title that is actively organizing an attack on the US it’s citizens and it’s allies.
Short answer is that the Ayatollahs can now be touched the same way anyone that offends them can have a fatwhaw issued by the ayatollah.
David: I call Trump’s “cultural targets” tweet brilliant – for many reasons, but here I list a few. The Iranian’s were targeting American citizens. I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure that is a war crime. Trump is saying to Iran “kill Americans (war crime) we will bomb your precious cultural targets (war crime). An eye for an eye. Second – the tweet was troll bait for Democrats who bit down hard. In one tweet Trump has the Democrats defending Iran for killing Americans. Third, the Trump rhetoric has exceeded the Iran rhetoric (which is hard to do). Most of what Iran has done is hide behind buildings and throw rocks. Trump wants to draw them out into the street where they can be suitably punished. But Iran is clever. They won’t step away from the safety of the walls. They just yell louder. Trump is crushing Iran’s leaders with trolling greats such as “Iran never won a war and never lost a negotiation”. This is a call out that Trump knows what Iran is doing (rhetoric) and he isn’t falling for it. I see your rhetoric and raise you a decimated cultural building. And I just spent 2 trillion American dollars upgrading MY military.
Imagine Iran killing American civilians working in Iraq. Then imagine Trump blowing up a mosque that houses terrorists. Then imagine Iran going to any international body (like the UN or Unesco) and crying foul. Imagine Unesco trying to punish the US for destroying a building and not punishing Iran for killing innocent Americans. Finally imagine the Democratic party supporting Unesco and not criticizing Iran. Forget about impeachment. They are handing Trump an election victory.
Moslems don’t have culture, they have a cult.
If they were still just Persians or Arabs or Egyptians then I might agree.
Part of Muslim strategy when they swarm a country is to immediately destroy the icons of the country. Get rid of them and after awhile they are forgotten and the conquered accept the new (muzzie) icons.
Look at the muslim attack on cultural icons in Europe – destroyed at every opportunity. Trump knows their strategy and is giving them a dose of their own medicine. Maybe a few drone sittings around some mosques or even Mecca/ Medina might get their attention.
I’m waiting for Suleimani’s relatives to self declare that he was a cultural site.
CNN will go apoplectic and accuse Trump of war crimes for destroying a cultural icon.
John Robson at the National Post website, has an excellent story on the dead Iranian terrorist and media reaction.
Celebrated French author and known pedophile previously rewarded by the French elite is now getting shade from one of his “lovers”.
https://dnyuz.com/2020/01/07/a-victims-account-fuels-a-reckoning-over-sex-with-children-in-france/
The former host of France’s most famous literary television program struggled to explain why he and other guests — except, tellingly, the only non-French invitee — laughed with good humor at Mr. Matzneff’s preferences for minors. Most of his longtime champions have remained silent, though a few still came to his defense, including the former book editor of Le Monde.
France’s culture minister, Franck Riester, said he supported Mr. Matzneff’s victims and announced that the government would review a writer’s allowance given to him — an abrupt shift in the government’s position. In 1995, long after Mr. Matzneff had written about his sexual encounters with children, the minister of culture at the time awarded him the Order of Arts and Letters.
In “Le Consentement,” Ms. Springora recounts being seduced at the age of 14 by the famous writer, who was then in his 50s. Introduced to him by her own mother, Ms. Springora writes that she fell in love with Mr. Matzneff and became disenchanted only upon discovering writings in which he described relations with countless other girls and boys, including those he met on sex tours in Southeast Asia.
He was not a good man. He was in fact … an ogre.
The Brits and their BBC had celebrated the pedophile Jimmy Savile for decades.
Even after overwhelming evidence pointed to Jimmy’s pederastery he was defended. It was for the children afterall.

It’s being reported Ottawa MP, Pierre Poilievre will be running for the Conservative leadership. IMO they couldn’t do better, Pierre is exactly what the Party needs, he’s got it together, cool, calm and very sharp, he will not be tripped up.
He won’t win. Despite my falling out with the party when Harper went on his spending binge, I would keep Pierre in his attack-dog mode. Far more effective.

Blackie’s Toronto Star reports that Canadian troops will be moved out of Iraq to Kuwait. This follows standard Blackie’s policy that his new army should not be put in harm’s way, especially if that war criminal Trump is involved. Nice support for our American allies stupid.
It is indeed amazing to see the left all over Trump about his culture tweet. While the left are in apoplexy over a threat to a foreign culture they are implicit in destroying our own culture. The left immediately jump on Trump by saying his tweet is a threat to destroy ancient historical monuments, these same people did absolutely nothing when the Taliban were destroying thousand year old statues and ransacking museums, but Trump tweeting about culture well that is a different kettle of fish. Notice how there has been nothing in the news of late about the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral. Was that fire caused by an accident in construction or by someone who was out to destroy a culture. A culture is not destroyed by a singular act of war it is caused by an incremental destruction and erosion of beliefs, and a pitiful acquiescence of a group of people that are more willing to succumb to an inferior influence than to defend, at cost, the ideals that formed their own culture. The West has been destroying its own culture by voting in quislings for the last fifty odd years. They have orchestrated this demise. It will only accelerate from here on unless we see more leaders like Trump, and sadly there is a dearth of them in this generation.
Turn the damn country into glass. They are useless and will never stop killing others, stop them now.
Notre Dame fire investigation … the silence is deafening. I suspect I’m not the only one with great interest in the outcome.

There is a great story circulating around about the ruskies.
Apparently the russian sports channel had the broadcast rights to the world jr hockey tournament and brought the games to their audience. The ruskies made it to the gold medal game against Canada. In steps Vlad who orders the big game be telecast on state run tv (think cbc) and pulls the game from the sports channel who had the rights.
The sports net then simultaneously broadcasts the 2011 tournament that featured the same teams (Canada/russia) but that one the ruskies won. Well guess what? Half of russian thought they won gold and even ruskie hockey pucks who now play in the NHL watched the game sending congrats until they saw themselves playing! They then figured it out…..
Looks good on the dumb f**ks haha. You da man vlad!
