BC is about to explode Italy style. No one is taking this seriously. Well seriously enough anyway. It seems like if you’re in your late 39s/ early forties you know there’s a non zero chance of dying.
The problem is the Chinese are a bunch of scum sucking lying sacks of crap and the young have a very significant risk too.
Ontario so far isn’t completely stuck on stupid, although I haven’t visited usual epicenters of idiocy like Moronto and Ottawa in weeks. But as everyone capable of minimum rational thought predicted, when the spring break morons start coughing the fecal matter will hit the rotary device.
Expect massive spikes and panic reactions during next week.
I have relatives in Quebec the wife fell ill and is now quarantined at home. Her husband can’t go home and now stuck living in his office in a different town.

Can coronavirus victims sue China for negligence? Manny Montenegrino with Ezra Levant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAkXnK9-L8g
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
L- The China Flu is a serious threat to an already weakened and under-performing Canadian economy. The cost of even a month shut down will be horrendous, a longer or multiple shut down could effect a collapse. The government of China is culpable on many levels. Would businesses so damaged be able to sue for damages. Just as there was billions of dollars paid out to the victims of the Libyan government’s involvement in the Lockerbie bombing?
If so, we’ll have to wait in line with dozens of other nations, too. Good thing China’s govt. has deep pockets.
Now such settlement amounts, may indeed, have a profound effect on a gangster nation’s politburo.
At the very least, such lawsuits will likely lead to the elimination of their “wet market”, from which so many pathogens have and will emerge, until a civilized agriculture/food supply system is adopted.
Unfortunately for the Chinese people and for humans around the earth, China having a huge and potentially imperial armed forces has been a higher priority for it’s government.
You’re out of your mind. Lawsuits? Really?
This is the first act of germ warfare by the Chinese communists. It won’t be the last, or the most lethal.
The only way to stop them once and for all to relieve them of their ability to make war on the west.
If allowed to, President Trump could do it in a matter of hours.
The United States has enough atomic weapons to bomb China back into the pre-industrial age several times over.
What in God’s name is he still waiting for? Permission from the New York Times editorial board? From Jeff Bezos?
Westerners will learn to live without crap made in China. Until Chairman Mao died, they did just fine without it.
And no enemy of western civilization will pull a stunt like that again. EVER.
Please…
China did not do this deliberately. There is no question that they started it, but it was due to their own negligence and authoritarian form of government that it got launched – and it was due to our own negligence and populist form of government that it was not taken seriously until ‘way too late. I’m hoping that both China, and the rest of us, learn lessons from the Wu-flu:
1) China needs to learn that it does not arrest its epidemiologists for spreading news that might embarrass the “Dear Leader” – especially when the news concerns a possible disease outbreak. It also needs to learn that laws are laws – including laws that trample its citizens’ appetite (grim pun intended) for exotic wildlife – and when it sensibly orders a stop to potentially dangerous practices, they actually stop. “The mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away” doesn’t work in the jet age.
2) We need to learn that politics bed@mned – when news of a dangerous outbreak like this reaches us, we slam-on the brakes RIGHT THEN, not two months later when our actions become politically embarrassing. This ain’t the first outbreak out of China, and it won’t be the last – we really don’t need to learn this $hit from first principles every time. We also need to learn that offshoring our manufacturing (particularly medicines and hospital supplies) to save a buck isn’t actually smart.
“… and it was due to our own negligence and populist form of government … ”
Populist? In what dictionary does this count as populist?
Nuke China? At this rate I’m going to stop reading comments here…
Nuke em! For the sake of the children.
Nuke China?
They have enough missiles with nuclear warheads to take out most US cities. That would kill far more people than the Wuhan virus.
Enough stupidity.
It would set a dangerous precedent. The dot com bubble of 2000 was caused by the Americans. Can we sue for that one too?
“Can we sue for that one too?”
Go for it but it was not caused by the US government. And damages were inflicted by one’s own stupidity. Y2K cost me nothing because I perceived it to be a crock of shit like global warming.
The media cartel has not bothered to discuss crime and security issues associated with this pandemic, mostly because the corporate media are sympathetic to crime, both the violent and white-collar varieties. But if the economic fallout from this is as bad as some business writers are saying– some business writers are saying we could have another Great Depression — the druggies will be out and about raiding homes, more so than uul. Nd there will be worse going on.
I live in “safe” Fredericton, but I have to go talk to my wife about security protocols we must follow, moving forward.
Awk! I double-posted the above post, and it is out of place. The one below is in the right place.
Replying to Larry. Can the Canadian people who get the Chinese Virus sue Trudeau and his band of lackeys?
Since, “Trudeau and his band of lackeys” are the federal government of Canada, in effect, that amounts to Canadians suing themselves. No net gain, apart from emotional satisfaction, and the lawyers for both parties again, get paid by the citizenry struggling to rebuild a damaged economy.
Clearly, the government will be on the defensive when international comparisons of best practices are made. Will public reaction cause the minority government to fall ? That’s what the Trudeau regime has to fear. Angry voters may not put up with the totalitarian censorship of media, especially social media/blogs, that Trudeau’s gangsters are tempted to execute.
But without a competent, patriotic opposition to replace them, another coalition gov’t. would likely not be strong enough to reform our institutions that have been compromised. But if the C.C.P. /Ayatollahs(Iran)/Qatar leaders get what is coming to them. Then their chain of command into Ottawa may be broken.
If the fallout causes China’s economy to fall into 3rd or lower place, that means tectonic shifts in power/wealth creation favouring free market economies.
And now from Gerry Butts.
“Just heard from my brother an oncologist in Edmonton. He’s in isolation after coming home from work with #Covid19 symptoms. Stay the fuck home,people. Please. #StayHome”
Warmington replied to Butts: “You need to learn some manners in how you address people. That said hope your brother and his patients are okay. People in the general public are doing their part in a huge way and should not be shouted at on twitter with profanity. You should be more respectful”
Shortly after being called out Butts posted this:
“Just deleted an earlier tweet about a family member because I don’t want to cause alarm or concern among those close to him personally or professionally. Point is the same though: #StayHome”
While I hope his brother recovers (he may not have Wuhan), Gerry Butts is being his usual asshole self. What are cancer patients supposed to do, stay home?
Just for info, Gerry Butts was in London England on Feb 28. Guess staying at home is important now that a member of HIS family may be ill.
My friend’s mom was being treated for cancer at the Rockyview hospital. They kicked her out and sent her home to free up the bed.
Gerry says:
“#Stay home”
No $hit a$$hole. We would not be forced to stay home, had you worthless idiots had closed the borders weeks ago. But you had to wait for permission of your Chicom masters and they gave you the permission only after cases in Canada begun to grow faster than cases in China. You Gerry and the rest of Librano a$$holes should be tried for treason and genocide. And not in front of Librano nominated judges.
Butts needs corporal punishment.
Actually, a lot of people who get mouthy with their fingertips need beatings.
From your link: Flights from China are still merrily flying into Vancouver.
From the same link, Liza-Bitch May is doing the usual attack in Alberta.
I’m one of those cancer patients, Gerry. Was in last Wednesday for my bi-monthly injection. Nurses were cool, the best. Headed back in 10 days. I’ll be taking your advice Gerry (not) and thinking of you and your Sock Buoy pal when I do. If the taxis are running, I’ll keep showing up at the hospital, otherwise it’s a 20 km hike. I use a cane Gerry, but then you don’t give a shit. You’re a “depopulator”.
The border should have been shut at least a month ago. I’ve been following this WHO-flu since it broke in late November, early December. I’ve got lots of food and I was way ahead on toilet paper. All cancer patients really appreciate your concern for them and the exposure to this unnecessary, preventable situation for the over 60 crowd. Butt then you’re a promoter of reduced populations vis a vis Globble Warmenting, that is a figment of your fevered imagination. I got words for that too, but I’ll be polite to the blog lady and send telepathically.
PO’d in Alberta
Hope you beat cancer. Best wishes.
Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate it, so does my wife. I’ve been working on this rather intensively the last 9 years and for 19 years ongoing, with the assistance of our dear AHS. Cancer has it’s own schedule that doesn’t conform to any rationale. It’s capricious, too. I keep plugging away at living. I mean who’d decide to give up now with all the crap going on today? Life just got too interesting to quit now! Almost like a soap opera. I want to see what happens to some of the players involved before I croak. Moar popcorn!
PO’d, our prayers and best wishes go out to you. I’m in the very early of prostate cancer (and in my fifth year of surviving sarcoma cancer). I had an appointment with my,urologist to plan for a surgery, but my wife and I decided to cancel out, given the congestion in the doctors’ office. No telling when we can book another appointment.
We have to problems as individuals and society: not getting the caronavirus and surviving the economic consequences of economic society largely shutting down. One business writer said that we all we be economically poorer when this is through, whether through lower wages and smaller pensions. This week I will be reading up on the possibility of inflation.
Well, thanks for that David. We’re a veteran of cancers. I beat prostrate cancer via the chop, chop. It was early, age 50’s and that one has never come back. We’re doing Immunotherapy for this one, ’cause it worked great the first time for a couple of years. I was a guinea pig for that trial, now it’s standard op. Cleaned everything out from the neck down, after several years of cytokine stuff. I guess they’re trying to duplicate the previous results for me.
You take care of your self. Life is short.
David and PO’ed warmest wishes to you both.
Words fail me to describe my anger and anguish when I hear about publik health care system shortchanging you because Libranos felt that PC-imbecility trumped Wuhan.
Gerald I am also a cancer patient who, last week, was prepped, gowned and outside the op. room when they cancelled my surgery to remove what little is left of my colon after the last operation. Now I have to wait to see when they will re schedule but given the impending overload this could be some time. Time I do not have but then I would not like to be in an ICU with the staff run off their feet, as if they are not already. Your post does nothing if not confirm how rancid your inner self must be. You and your fellow ideologues were responsible for taking the Ontario provincial debt to $350 billion costing one billion a month in interest alone. Enough to finance a new hospital every month. But I doubt you have any qualms or regrets about your “achievements” . You are a pitiful excuse for a human being.
Patty Hajdu, Trudeau’s appointed Health Minster had this to say Feb 17th to the Chinese community in Vancouver. It’s sickening to listen to this knowing no one in the MSM will confront her or anyone in the government. (Scroll to the 2nd video)
At least lined up and ASKED QUESTIONS. Wouldn’t it be nice to see our media treat our politicians even a fraction of the way the US media treats the President?
And then I read this. ..
The Fu $£ ers are FUNDRAISING off this crisis.
I don’t understand. The media states that polls show that Canadians think Great Leader Blackie is doing a great job.
Canada is a nation of retards.
Beatings for all.
You’ve gotta think cowpatti hagdu wont be long on the job. Remember when Ly’in Brian’s Health Minister took the high jump over a can of tainted tuna?
Government is responsible for the safety and health of it’s citizens. This is a fundamental obligation. Things go wrong and typically the government is defeated. As elections come up around the world I’m betting you will see wholesale change.
And now the Liberal Party’s Sunday Toronto Star. Multiple stories on how Great Leader Blackie and the Liberals are doing a great job. Doug Ford is Hitler for not providing enough medical supplies. Trump is killing people all over America with the Trump virus. Shree explains that Canadians are racist bastards for not providing children in minority groups with free laptops. Heather Mallick writes that now is the time to fight global warming, embrace China’s methods of monitoring and controlling the population, now and in the future. China is wonderful. She also explains that men are sexist rapist pigs, and more domestic abuse will happen now. And of course Blackie is wonderful. More stories that Islam is wonderful, socialism is wonderful, Canadians are racist bastards.
Rob, a good promo on hand washing. Lots of wasted H2O! Isn’t water conservation a big deal? Only one or two shut their faucet off while lathering their hands.
A new faucet just recently installed here is a great play toy. (I ditched the soap dispenser deeming it to be a waste of time) The kitchen one is great at low pressure otherwise one is splashing like a duck!
But I ♡ my new faucet! I ‘play’ water taps a lot as a kitchen witch who likes to cook!
Thanks for this Nancy.
I am looking for a new kitchen faucet.
Life is all about timing!
You’re welcome.

Their opinions, morals and ethics vary in direct proportion to the strength and direction of their political ideology. Never doing what is right but only what is expedient for themselves and the party. Vile creatures, every one.
Its great to see how the families of NDP leaders in Canada are doing. Check out Post Millennial to see the heartwarming photos of Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s son brandishing an assault weapon and calling the China virus a hoax. Strange how the media are not reporting this.
Isn’t the gun he’s holding a prohibited weapon in Canada?
Just asking. I don’t own a gun so I’m not fully conversant with Canada’s laws. But we don’t need any more gun laws.
I’m just wondering if he’s getting a free pass. Or is it a plastic replica?
Now if it was the son of a prominent Conservative, imagine the headlines and the news coverage.
I’m no expert.
Automatic weapons are prohibited.
If it is a semi-auto 5.56 or 7.62 with a 5 round magazine then it is restricted but can be acquired with an RPAL. As can handguns.
I only have a PAL but I own a pistol caliber carbine that takes…10 round pistol magazines. Some PCC’s are built on an AR type platform and look very similar. Barrel lengths are in the rules as well…
The real differences are projectile velocities – more than double for AR’s and hunting rifles which is why they are good for killing animals cleanly.
Does Julian Leonetti have a Canadian Firearms Licence?
Does Julian Leonetti have an Ontario Hunting Licence?
Does Julian Leonetti have a “Restricted Rifle” qualification
on his Firearms Licence? Does he belong to a gun club
with a dedicated “Restricted Rifle” range?
Is that a prohibited 30 round magazine sticking out of the
firearm Julian is holding?
Does Julian Leonetti store this firearm in an approved
gun safe?
Over to you, Minister Blair.

He seems like a perfectly well adjusted young man determined to make something of himself…..hizself.
People who left the country for March break week of March 16th are inconsiderate imbeciles and a huge part of the problem. They obviously have zero consideration for others, it’s all about them.
I agree. And as an alumnus of the Queen’s University grad school, some students here held a party to or three days ago. A left-wing writer at the Globe and Mail (excuse the redundancy) angrily wrote about the “knuckleheads” who still congregate during this crisis. In his column of course, the “knuckleheads” are all members of the “deplorables” — but from my point of view the majority are young, low-information people (including many students), people not that empathetic to older people who might die from caronavirus.
I think conservatives advocate for the public good — here surviving the caronavirus is the public good. Liberals are more concerned with identity politics and minority rights. Recall that Justin Trudeau didn’t order any checks on incoming air travelers until recently.
George Carlin’s classic monologue criticizing environmentalists for thinking that humans are more powerful than Mother Earth is worth watching again. He concludes by mentioning one of Mother Earth’s most powerful weapons – the virus.
How long before the prisons are emptied? Very soon me thinks. Prepare for anarchy.
And looting.
The minute a COVID patient is taken from his house on a one-way trip to a “field hospital” (by that point offering nothing but euthanasia and a quick cremation before loved ones realize what has happened, keeping official case counts low), “diverse” looters will systematically swoop in to strip the house of anything worth fencing online. Fortunes will be made this way.
The cops will be too busy ticketing dog-walkers to stop it. Enforcing lockdowns on the “diverse” will be racist in any case.
Under a full-on lock-down regimen inmates may well be better off where they are. Free health care, groceries and entertainment. Currently, what’s not to like?
They’re too stupid to understand that.
The media cartel has not bothered to discuss crime and security issues associated with this pandemic, mostly because the corporate media are sympathetic to crime, both the violent and white-collar varieties. But if the economic fallout from this is as bad as some business writers are saying– some business writers are saying we could have another Great Depression — the druggies will be out and about raiding homes, more so than uul. Nd there will be worse going on.
I live in “safe” Fredericton, but I have to go talk to my wife about security protocols we must follow, moving forward.
Has there been any update on the PM’s wife? I may have missed it since I don’t watch any of his addresses to the media; I can’t stand to look at or listen to him. I can’t help but think that if the First Lady had contracted Wuhan Corona Virus, the press would be asking about her and, if they weren’t, the President would be providing updates anyway.
In an interview with the Canadian Press, Andrew Scheer condemned the mixture of Liberal incompetence and apologetics for communist China that led to the United States’ beginning to treat Canada like a Chinese province. He called on Canadians to demand Justin Trudeau recall Parliament and face a confidence vote immediately, and to engage in civil disobedience if Trudeau refused.
Then I woke up.
Andy’s actual “different approach” to opposition in the time of Wuhan flu is collaboration. More proof that the federal Tories are bogus opposition.
They just got a raise in pay. Who’s worrying? Election……sometime down the road. Why rock the boat?
Via Instapundit:
A supermarket in Denmark got tired of people hoarding hand sanitizer, so came up with their own way of stopping it.
1 bottle kr40 (€5.50)
2 bottles kr1000 (€134.00) each bottle.
Hoarding stopped!
MND: In a recent comment I suggested “price goughing” but as expected got no response. The phrase is in quotation marks ‘cos if you think about it there’s no such thing in a free market. In gubmint for sure.
A good, quick economics literacy test would be to ask people what they thought of a doubling of certain prices in an emergency like a flood or earthquake. I’m guessing that even many SDA people would call it unethical.
Many of us would see it as a golden opportunity for those who understood the incompetence and outright malice of Canadian authorities—and planned accordingly as soon as the Wuhan flu reached Canada—to earn the wherewithal to ride out the pandemic while maintaining their previous standard of living, at the expense of those who believe everything they read in Government of Canada press releases.
If stupidity is costly, you get less of it.
I say this believing that hand sanitizer is a waste of money for non-medical staff. Stick to soap and water.
Mobilize industry in Canada?
Thornhill Medical, a ventilator manufacturer located in Toronto, has received a letter of interest from the government. But no signed contract.
Why is Trudeau dithering? Is he waiting for his 14 days to be over so he can get a photo op signing the contract?
Why is Trudeau dithering? Is he waiting for his 14 days to be over so he can get a photo op signing the contract?
You know how he is. Like was said about Teddy Roosevelt, Prinz Dummkopf wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. He never attends an event unless the focus will be on him.
Teddy was a man. Trudeau isn’t fit to utter his name.
Buddy
Teddy was loved and loathed. Particularly by business leaders. When he left on safari to Africa they were said to be cheering for the lions – hoping one would take him out.
I’m hoping a Tofino cat takes out the surfer when he wanders into the woods to take a leak.
We need Emergency Measures Act enforced YESTERDAY!
Liz
Hold that thought – Tuesday might be your day
The Liberal Party’s Globe and Mail celebrates today that America is embracing socialism.
This lifeboat reserved for Captain and crew. Women and children last.
Don’t know if this has been mentioned as yet, but the CP is reporting that Peter McKay’s director of communications is quitting McKay’s team, objecting that he is still campaigning, calling this inappropriate during this world crisis. Erin O’Toole had called on the CPC to delay the leadership contest.
Or, maybe, the question should be, what is the government trying to hide?
Maybe the open border is only closed when the Rebel News shows up……
Rebel News should call the taxi service in Plattsburg N.Y. to see if they’re still taking people over to Roxham Road. Their rates were well published on the taxi, $ 60/person or $80/5 maximum. Nice business they have going!
Keean, David, Ezra…are you reading this?
He forgets his coat. He forgets he wears earphones. Boy, are we in safe hands:
It occurred to me that his slack and casual attitude is meant to convey a sense of calm to we, the Great Unwashed. After all, if he shows he’s not worried (“What? Me worry?”), we shouldn’t be either.
Then again, having the attitude of the doltish character associated with that quote hardly instills confidence, now does it?
FDR had his Fireside Chats. Prinz Dummkopf might have his version of them, but insist on bringing marshmallows and weenies to roast.
He’s gotta be drugged. How can be get away with all that he foists on us. Its beyond comprehension.
Wonder what’s going to happen under Marshall Law?
Soldiers in the Streets fighting WuFlu…. “papers please” ….shouting through a mega phone “go on back into your house! Get!”
The Liberal Party’s Globe and Mail has accused Trump of killing people in Africa because of his talk about drug remedies. Our Unifor media reminds us that its a good thing we have Great Leader Blackie in charge here. Everything about Blackie is wonderful.
Ontario – the comment I heard is that the virus isn’t gaining that much traction in sub-Sahara Africa because so many take an anti-malarial drug. Have also seen comments to the effect that the virus doesn’t like heat, and so will be worse a certain distance north and south of the equator.

Mike Bloomberg is cutting his losses, realizing the Democrats will reap the whirlwind in November for their part in spreading Wuhan flu.
Mike told former campaign staff whose jobs had been guaranteed through November that they had been exposed to Wuhan flu.
Then he fired them all.
Their health coverage will be cut off on March 31. God help any one of them who falls ill after that. Mike sure as hell won’t.

Just for info, Gerry Butts was in London England on Feb 28. Guess staying at home is important now that a member of HIS family may be ill.
My friend’s mom was being treated for cancer at the Rockyview hospital. They kicked her out and sent her home to free up the bed.
Gerry says:
“#Stay home”
No $hit a$$hole. We would not be forced to stay home, had you worthless idiots had closed the borders weeks ago. But you had to wait for permission of your Chicom masters and they gave you the permission only after cases in Canada begun to grow faster than cases in China. You Gerry and the rest of Librano a$$holes should be tried for treason and genocide. And not in front of Librano nominated judges.
Butts needs corporal punishment.
Actually, a lot of people who get mouthy with their fingertips need beatings.
From your link: Flights from China are still merrily flying into Vancouver.
From the same link, Liza-Bitch May is doing the usual attack in Alberta.
I’m one of those cancer patients, Gerry. Was in last Wednesday for my bi-monthly injection. Nurses were cool, the best. Headed back in 10 days. I’ll be taking your advice Gerry (not) and thinking of you and your Sock Buoy pal when I do. If the taxis are running, I’ll keep showing up at the hospital, otherwise it’s a 20 km hike. I use a cane Gerry, but then you don’t give a shit. You’re a “depopulator”.
The border should have been shut at least a month ago. I’ve been following this WHO-flu since it broke in late November, early December. I’ve got lots of food and I was way ahead on toilet paper. All cancer patients really appreciate your concern for them and the exposure to this unnecessary, preventable situation for the over 60 crowd. Butt then you’re a promoter of reduced populations vis a vis Globble Warmenting, that is a figment of your fevered imagination. I got words for that too, but I’ll be polite to the blog lady and send telepathically.
PO’d in Alberta
Hope you beat cancer. Best wishes.
Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate it, so does my wife. I’ve been working on this rather intensively the last 9 years and for 19 years ongoing, with the assistance of our dear AHS. Cancer has it’s own schedule that doesn’t conform to any rationale. It’s capricious, too. I keep plugging away at living. I mean who’d decide to give up now with all the crap going on today? Life just got too interesting to quit now! Almost like a soap opera. I want to see what happens to some of the players involved before I croak. Moar popcorn!
PO’d, our prayers and best wishes go out to you. I’m in the very early of prostate cancer (and in my fifth year of surviving sarcoma cancer). I had an appointment with my,urologist to plan for a surgery, but my wife and I decided to cancel out, given the congestion in the doctors’ office. No telling when we can book another appointment.
We have to problems as individuals and society: not getting the caronavirus and surviving the economic consequences of economic society largely shutting down. One business writer said that we all we be economically poorer when this is through, whether through lower wages and smaller pensions. This week I will be reading up on the possibility of inflation.
Well, thanks for that David. We’re a veteran of cancers. I beat prostrate cancer via the chop, chop. It was early, age 50’s and that one has never come back. We’re doing Immunotherapy for this one, ’cause it worked great the first time for a couple of years. I was a guinea pig for that trial, now it’s standard op. Cleaned everything out from the neck down, after several years of cytokine stuff. I guess they’re trying to duplicate the previous results for me.
You take care of your self. Life is short.
David and PO’ed warmest wishes to you both.
Words fail me to describe my anger and anguish when I hear about publik health care system shortchanging you because Libranos felt that PC-imbecility trumped Wuhan.
Gerald I am also a cancer patient who, last week, was prepped, gowned and outside the op. room when they cancelled my surgery to remove what little is left of my colon after the last operation. Now I have to wait to see when they will re schedule but given the impending overload this could be some time. Time I do not have but then I would not like to be in an ICU with the staff run off their feet, as if they are not already. Your post does nothing if not confirm how rancid your inner self must be. You and your fellow ideologues were responsible for taking the Ontario provincial debt to $350 billion costing one billion a month in interest alone. Enough to finance a new hospital every month. But I doubt you have any qualms or regrets about your “achievements” . You are a pitiful excuse for a human being.
Patty Hajdu, Trudeau’s appointed Health Minster had this to say Feb 17th to the Chinese community in Vancouver. It’s sickening to listen to this knowing no one in the MSM will confront her or anyone in the government. (Scroll to the 2nd video)

No wonder I can’t sleep at night.
I don’t understand. The media states that polls show that Canadians think Great Leader Blackie is doing a great job.
Canada is a nation of retards.
Beatings for all.
You’ve gotta think cowpatti hagdu wont be long on the job. Remember when Ly’in Brian’s Health Minister took the high jump over a can of tainted tuna?
Government is responsible for the safety and health of it’s citizens. This is a fundamental obligation. Things go wrong and typically the government is defeated. As elections come up around the world I’m betting you will see wholesale change.
And now the Liberal Party’s Sunday Toronto Star. Multiple stories on how Great Leader Blackie and the Liberals are doing a great job. Doug Ford is Hitler for not providing enough medical supplies. Trump is killing people all over America with the Trump virus. Shree explains that Canadians are racist bastards for not providing children in minority groups with free laptops. Heather Mallick writes that now is the time to fight global warming, embrace China’s methods of monitoring and controlling the population, now and in the future. China is wonderful. She also explains that men are sexist rapist pigs, and more domestic abuse will happen now. And of course Blackie is wonderful. More stories that Islam is wonderful, socialism is wonderful, Canadians are racist bastards.
A Canadian Sea Shanty…to fight the boredom.

Rob, a good promo on hand washing. Lots of wasted H2O! Isn’t water conservation a big deal? Only one or two shut their faucet off while lathering their hands.
A new faucet just recently installed here is a great play toy. (I ditched the soap dispenser deeming it to be a waste of time) The kitchen one is great at low pressure otherwise one is splashing like a duck!
But I ♡ my new faucet! I ‘play’ water taps a lot as a kitchen witch who likes to cook!
This is the brand I bought, see details here, they’re costly but money well spent for the convenience:

Thanks for this Nancy.
I am looking for a new kitchen faucet.
Life is all about timing!
You’re welcome.

Their opinions, morals and ethics vary in direct proportion to the strength and direction of their political ideology. Never doing what is right but only what is expedient for themselves and the party. Vile creatures, every one.
Its great to see how the families of NDP leaders in Canada are doing. Check out Post Millennial to see the heartwarming photos of Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s son brandishing an assault weapon and calling the China virus a hoax. Strange how the media are not reporting this.

I think I dislike him much less than her.
Isn’t the gun he’s holding a prohibited weapon in Canada?
Just asking. I don’t own a gun so I’m not fully conversant with Canada’s laws. But we don’t need any more gun laws.
I’m just wondering if he’s getting a free pass. Or is it a plastic replica?
Now if it was the son of a prominent Conservative, imagine the headlines and the news coverage.
I’m no expert.
Automatic weapons are prohibited.
If it is a semi-auto 5.56 or 7.62 with a 5 round magazine then it is restricted but can be acquired with an RPAL. As can handguns.
I only have a PAL but I own a pistol caliber carbine that takes…10 round pistol magazines. Some PCC’s are built on an AR type platform and look very similar. Barrel lengths are in the rules as well…
The real differences are projectile velocities – more than double for AR’s and hunting rifles which is why they are good for killing animals cleanly.

Let’s run through the checklist…
Does Julian Leonetti have a Canadian Firearms Licence?
Does Julian Leonetti have an Ontario Hunting Licence?
Does Julian Leonetti have a “Restricted Rifle” qualification
on his Firearms Licence? Does he belong to a gun club
with a dedicated “Restricted Rifle” range?
Is that a prohibited 30 round magazine sticking out of the
firearm Julian is holding?
Does Julian Leonetti store this firearm in an approved
gun safe?
Over to you, Minister Blair.

He seems like a perfectly well adjusted young man determined to make something of himself…..hizself.
People who left the country for March break week of March 16th are inconsiderate imbeciles and a huge part of the problem. They obviously have zero consideration for others, it’s all about them.
I agree. And as an alumnus of the Queen’s University grad school, some students here held a party to or three days ago. A left-wing writer at the Globe and Mail (excuse the redundancy) angrily wrote about the “knuckleheads” who still congregate during this crisis. In his column of course, the “knuckleheads” are all members of the “deplorables” — but from my point of view the majority are young, low-information people (including many students), people not that empathetic to older people who might die from caronavirus.
I think conservatives advocate for the public good — here surviving the caronavirus is the public good. Liberals are more concerned with identity politics and minority rights. Recall that Justin Trudeau didn’t order any checks on incoming air travelers until recently.
George Carlin’s classic monologue criticizing environmentalists for thinking that humans are more powerful than Mother Earth is worth watching again. He concludes by mentioning one of Mother Earth’s most powerful weapons – the virus.

How long before the prisons are emptied? Very soon me thinks. Prepare for anarchy.
And looting.
The minute a COVID patient is taken from his house on a one-way trip to a “field hospital” (by that point offering nothing but euthanasia and a quick cremation before loved ones realize what has happened, keeping official case counts low), “diverse” looters will systematically swoop in to strip the house of anything worth fencing online. Fortunes will be made this way.
The cops will be too busy ticketing dog-walkers to stop it. Enforcing lockdowns on the “diverse” will be racist in any case.
Under a full-on lock-down regimen inmates may well be better off where they are. Free health care, groceries and entertainment. Currently, what’s not to like?
They’re too stupid to understand that.
The media cartel has not bothered to discuss crime and security issues associated with this pandemic, mostly because the corporate media are sympathetic to crime, both the violent and white-collar varieties. But if the economic fallout from this is as bad as some business writers are saying– some business writers are saying we could have another Great Depression — the druggies will be out and about raiding homes, more so than uul. Nd there will be worse going on.
I live in “safe” Fredericton, but I have to go talk to my wife about security protocols we must follow, moving forward.
Has there been any update on the PM’s wife? I may have missed it since I don’t watch any of his addresses to the media; I can’t stand to look at or listen to him. I can’t help but think that if the First Lady had contracted Wuhan Corona Virus, the press would be asking about her and, if they weren’t, the President would be providing updates anyway.
In an interview with the Canadian Press, Andrew Scheer condemned the mixture of Liberal incompetence and apologetics for communist China that led to the United States’ beginning to treat Canada like a Chinese province. He called on Canadians to demand Justin Trudeau recall Parliament and face a confidence vote immediately, and to engage in civil disobedience if Trudeau refused.
Then I woke up.
Andy’s actual “different approach” to opposition in the time of Wuhan flu is collaboration. More proof that the federal Tories are bogus opposition.

They just got a raise in pay. Who’s worrying? Election……sometime down the road. Why rock the boat?
Via Instapundit:
A supermarket in Denmark got tired of people hoarding hand sanitizer, so came up with their own way of stopping it.
1 bottle kr40 (€5.50)
2 bottles kr1000 (€134.00) each bottle.
Hoarding stopped!
MND: In a recent comment I suggested “price goughing” but as expected got no response. The phrase is in quotation marks ‘cos if you think about it there’s no such thing in a free market. In gubmint for sure.
A good, quick economics literacy test would be to ask people what they thought of a doubling of certain prices in an emergency like a flood or earthquake. I’m guessing that even many SDA people would call it unethical.
Many of us would see it as a golden opportunity for those who understood the incompetence and outright malice of Canadian authorities—and planned accordingly as soon as the Wuhan flu reached Canada—to earn the wherewithal to ride out the pandemic while maintaining their previous standard of living, at the expense of those who believe everything they read in Government of Canada press releases.
If stupidity is costly, you get less of it.
I say this believing that hand sanitizer is a waste of money for non-medical staff. Stick to soap and water.
Mobilize industry in Canada?
Thornhill Medical, a ventilator manufacturer located in Toronto, has received a letter of interest from the government. But no signed contract.
Why is Trudeau dithering? Is he waiting for his 14 days to be over so he can get a photo op signing the contract?

Why is Trudeau dithering? Is he waiting for his 14 days to be over so he can get a photo op signing the contract?
You know how he is. Like was said about Teddy Roosevelt, Prinz Dummkopf wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. He never attends an event unless the focus will be on him.
Teddy was a man. Trudeau isn’t fit to utter his name.
Buddy
Teddy was loved and loathed. Particularly by business leaders. When he left on safari to Africa they were said to be cheering for the lions – hoping one would take him out.
I’m hoping a Tofino cat takes out the surfer when he wanders into the woods to take a leak.
We need Emergency Measures Act enforced YESTERDAY!

Don’t know if this has been mentioned as yet, but the CP is reporting that Peter McKay’s director of communications is quitting McKay’s team, objecting that he is still campaigning, calling this inappropriate during this world crisis. Erin O’Toole had called on the CPC to delay the leadership contest.
McKay is sleazy. So sleazy.

Maybe the open border is only closed when the Rebel News shows up……
Rebel News should call the taxi service in Plattsburg N.Y. to see if they’re still taking people over to Roxham Road. Their rates were well published on the taxi, $ 60/person or $80/5 maximum. Nice business they have going!

It occurred to me that his slack and casual attitude is meant to convey a sense of calm to we, the Great Unwashed. After all, if he shows he’s not worried (“What? Me worry?”), we shouldn’t be either.
Then again, having the attitude of the doltish character associated with that quote hardly instills confidence, now does it?
FDR had his Fireside Chats. Prinz Dummkopf might have his version of them, but insist on bringing marshmallows and weenies to roast.
He’s gotta be drugged. How can be get away with all that he foists on us. Its beyond comprehension.

Ontario – the comment I heard is that the virus isn’t gaining that much traction in sub-Sahara Africa because so many take an anti-malarial drug. Have also seen comments to the effect that the virus doesn’t like heat, and so will be worse a certain distance north and south of the equator.
