    1. Same Blackie that send them good masks in January, for free, together with other equipment we need, 16 tonnes of them. Same Blackie that send hundreds of millions of dollars to the Wuhan lab that in all likelihood released the Wuhan flu in the first place. Same Blackie that gave visas to hundreds of Wuhanese with high social credit scores after China blocked domestic flights from Wuhan. We may be seeing a pattern here.

      Traitor, who repeatedly trades Canadian lives for Chicoms… should be adequately punished for treason.

      1. Funny I don’t remember Chyna the Ashoe paying anything for the 16 tonnes of emergency gear Blackie sent them in January.

    1. It’s not that unusual. We’ve had snow here in western Canada in mid-May once in a while over the years. (How many SDAers remember the southern Alberta blizzard of 1986?)

      I guess we had “climate change” for much longer than Builder Barbie thought.

      1. I have photos of that one. Lived in Coach Hill in Calgary back then. Downtown was fine, about a foot of snow. Uphill around town drifts up to 6-10 feet weren’t uncommon. Put the old Toyota to the test getting around. Snow was gone in a couple of days.

        1. I lived in the Brooks area at the time. The initial windstorm knocked out the power so we were without electricity for several days.

          I decided to spend the weekend in Calgary. Snow was still in the ground in places when I left town, but was gone by the time I returned.

      2. Canada does have a shitty climate. It’s minus 2 at my home near the north shore of Lake Ontario. I snowed on my wedding day in late May. That being said this has been a very cold spring compared to average. I’m sure that by fall they will be telling us this is has been the hottest year on record and everywhere was warming faster than everywhere else. My family member who lives in a mountain town in Alberta has told me that he has experienced snow every month of the year.

    2. Yes, Climate Barbie is a treat. It is a climate cycle, Barbie, it has happened before and it will happen again, no matter how much money you fraudulently extract from the taxpayer using the “(il)legal means” of carbon taxation. It has little or nothing to do with carbon dioxide (at 2% of atmospheric gases) and more to do with solar cycling (which neither you, the Doofus you work for, or Gerald’s Butt can control). But go ahead, post more clips of the Doofus Sock Puppet in your Twitter account and look really dumb doing it.

        1. Yes but we really have to worry about it – it’s increasing.

          At the rate of two parts per million.

          Per year.

          /sarc, in case I gotta’ say it. But don’t worry – Prime-Minister-for-Life Little Potato will make it all good. /sarc again.

    3. Joe…

      That twitter thread epitomizes why this country is in the Shitter. Just read the comments of the Liberal Braindead lavishing praise on our PM vacuous…

  1. From today’s email from Derek Sloan running for conservative leadership

    “…

    We’re all familiar with Justin Trudeau’s historical affection for asylum seekers.

    But strangely, he’s been silent on the Hong Kong asylum seekers. Or maybe not so strangely.

    Trudeau’s famous “welcome refugees” tweet was sent out the day after the United States had banned refugees and visitors from a list of countries drawn up by the Trump administration.

    Extending the same welcome to those fleeing CCP oppression in Hong Kong would certainly draw the ire of the Chinese Communists, and Trudeau wants nothing to do with that. Remember that Trudeau speaks admiringly of the Chinese dictatorship and is still scrounging for votes for his ill-advised bid for a spot on the UN Security Council.

    Trudeau is still pandering to the Communist Chinese government. Still.

    That’s why Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland had no comment “either way” a few days ago when asked if the Hong Kong dissidents would be welcome.

    That’s also why Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, when asked during today’s virtual House of Commons session to acknowledge a gift of surgical masks to Canada from Taiwan, could not even bring himself to say the name “Taiwan”.

    Taiwan has never been recognized by the Chinese Communist Party, and even a mention of the word “Taiwan” seemingly gets the Chinese Communist Party “upset”.

    That’s cowardly. It’s craven.

    Pro-democracy activists from Hong Kong asking for shelter from Chinese Communist brutality should be welcomed to Canada with open arms.

    As Prime Minister, I would do everything in my power to ensure that Hong Kongers fleeing Communist oppression would be welcomed by Canada.

    They already have more appreciation for freedom than do the members of our government who would deny them asylum.”

      1. Wow, he said something and you love him. How about he DOES something? Like, vote non-confidence on the dictator’s decrees? conservatives are so gullible!

        50 absurd captchas that take 1/2 hour to load. When is this absurd going to end?

        1. C, I don’t know why you are having such a problem…. half the time I just click and don’t even get a captcha page…. the other times it is just one shot deal…. once in awhile there will be nothing to identify and the next one is valid. About a year ago there were times when 8 and 10 were needed but that stopped. Like just now I clicked the not a robot box and went right to comment no captcha to identify.

    1. And I do wish and hope that he’ll take Little Potato to the woodshed over refusing to bring the South African farmers to Canada.

      Lest We Forget. “We haven’t decided to kill them. Yet.”

      1. Yes absolutely, when our Somali minister of Somali importation declined them the refugee status because if their skin color (while calling them racist for not wanting to be brutalized by the sociopathic SA regime) it was another missed opportunity for Conservatives to stand up and show spine.

    2. 2 million into ones personal Trust Fund should equal at least 20 years of blind obediance…No.??

      For Justin there can be only one “FINAL” solution: A Ceaucescu style ending.

  2. Trudeau and Blair BAN 12 Gauge and 10 Gauge SHOTGUNS!
    In the legal opinion of Edward Burlew L.L.B., one of the foremost experts in Canadian firearms law, Justin Trudeau and Bill Blair banned almost every modern 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotgun in Canada with removable chokes because they exceed the maximum bore diameter of 20 mm as defined in SOR/2020-96.

    Canada’s firearms industry body, the CSAAA, advises retailers to immediately cease sales of many 12-gauge or larger shotguns with removable chokes.

    https://cssa-cila.org/trudeau-and-blair-ban-12-gauge-and-10-gauge-shotguns/
    ———————————————————————————————————————————————
    note- the most recent CSSA member only newsletter has added info. so I’m including it here:
    “…The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) Memorandum D19-13-2, issued May 29, 2019, defines BORE as:

    the inside of the barrel of a firearm, from the throat to the muzzle, through which the projectile travels.v

    By the CBSA’s definition, it may be all 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotguns – not just those with removable chokes – are now Prohibited firearms because they do not consider the forcing cone, the “throat” of the barrel, which exceeds the 20 mm maximum bore diameter specified in SOR/2020-96…

    “…This morning, the RCMP confirmed the first 12-gauge shotgun prohibited under the new Order-in-Council.

    The deadly evil weapon? An old Iver Johnson single-shot, fixed choke 12-gauge shotgun with a 2 3/4″ chamber. That’s right, a standard old farm gun.

    RCMP Technical Unit Supervisor, Tim Hobbs, confirmed this firearm would be classified as prohibited in a phone call with a prominent firearms dealer.”

    L- In the 20th Century for *this to happen in Canada, we were taught we’d have to lose a war with a foreign totalitarian government (U.S.S.R./Red China). In the 21st Century, we discover just voting in hardline (Cult.) Marxists like the Trudeau gov’t. not once, but twice, is likely all the mistakes it takes.

    *(Trudeau’s regime has: shut down Parliament(via hypnosis?), almost succeeded in having the naive/inept Opposition party leaders to grant Trudeau the power to spend public money for up to 2 years, without Parliamentary scrutiny, nor consent, promised censorship of social media/internet, have effected political censorship of political Islam(Sharia/M.B.) via M-103, have taken almost complete control of the economy(pandemic- restrictions far greater than e.i. Taiwan or Sweden), devastated the energy sector(oil/gas-15% of the economy), restricted mining and all natural resource dev., effected house arrest, including areas of low population density… and to top it off, banning most everything a citizenry might use to defend against tyrannical gov’t.(Magna Carta/Glorious Revolution, a Common-Law Right/Responsibility). Almost forgot, gave police exemption from Charter Rights (7) & (8) to be free from unreasonable search and seizure(warrantless/no reasonable cause) under new drunk driving laws can invade your domicile and demand on reverse onus, you provide evidence of your innocence or be convicted for refusal(again w/o probable cause). Total this list up !

    Human history is prescient but only for those who know it, hence why it’s been banned from public education.
    Welcome to the 21st Century Canada, if you can still recognize it… the dystopian post-nation state.

      —————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
      L- Something to listen to while cradling your 12 gauge(prohibited) as a flock of wild geese close in on the decoys.
      All of a sudden and too late, you realize the decoys were not to draw in the geese but the goose hunter as the federales shout drop the shotgun… Not hearing them over the din of the cry of the wild geese. That cry is the last sound you ever hear.

      -DiscIaimer, I’m writing a dystopian movie script, any resemblance to reality is purely co-incidental)

      (note- This song is the highest tempo song Frankie Lane recorded, turn it up loud for full effect)

        1. – Anybody who’d watch the CBC – or MSN. Much less believe what he saw…

          I watched (a bit of – as much as I could stomach) a CBC interview with a “famed gun-law lawyer in Ottawa”, discussing Little Potato’s (latest) gun-grab. This lawyer’s take was that there may be a basis for acting against it, as shotguns are legitimate hunting firearms and the Liberals should have been more careful with their wording ( – or maybe, have somebody on their team who actually knows a tiny bit about guns: Ed. – ) – nothing even muttered as an aside about –

          – the flagrant power grab
          – the wanton abuse of the Orders-in-Council process
          – the utter contempt for law-abiding Canadians’ property rights
          – the certainty that this won’t affect crime even one tiny little bit, “assault-style weapons” have been used in ONE CRIME in Canada
          – Little Potato flinging-away yet ANOTHER billion taxpayer dollars on yet ANOTHER whim.

    2. Bumbling Bill Blair along with any other politicians spoken and written words dont matter. Ministers Tweets arent an addendum to the law.

      Only the written language within the LAW as prescribed in the Gazette matter. It’s how the judges will interpret the written language. The tweets of an oaf of a public safety minister won’t count on a court of law.
      There is a saying “following the letter of the law”…
      What was Bill Blairs past occupation??
      Blackie soy boy Castro and his merry band of Village Idiots have totally FUBARed everything they touch.
      Please do sign all the petitions around the firearm ban. Support the firearms groups however you can.

      Write letters to firearm and ammunition companies to stop supplying Canadian LE and Canadian federal agencies until Canadians freedoms, rights and permissions are restored.

      1. Quicksilver, Blair was police chief in Toronto. He sure has upped his fascist creds since getting a slot with the feds.

        1. – And are you sure of that, Quicksilver? It sounds really nice, but it ain’t the way the Law works in Canada, in my experience.

          Lest We Forget: Li’l Dimmie Campbell, back when she was Justice Minister under Lyin’ Brian, announced in the Winnipeg Free Press that “Well I’M going to pass a law this autumn banning the import of assault rifles in Canada. So until MY law passes, Canada Customs will not be letting them into the country.” A gentleman (whose name I never found out) reading this, had more money than I do I guess; he went straight home and ordered one from the ‘States. Canada Customs duly turned it away at the border.

          There’s an actual section in the Criminal Code prescribing penalties for Canada Customs refusing entry of a legal item – I looked it up – and the guy’s whole point that taking action on what a gummint Minister says she’s going to do “this autumn”, is beyond the Pale. So he flew to Ottawa, and swore-out an advice and complaint in RCMP Headquarters that Canada Customs had violated the Criminal Code and broken the law in the matter.

          My only question about the entire episode has always been, did his complaint flutter into the wastebasket before or after he left the room?

    3. Ed Burlew is an attention whore. 12ga is less than 20mm. Give your head a shake. conservatives are so gullible!

      JT is not stupid. Were he to ban 12ga shotguns, he would have turned 1/2 of the gun owners against him. I am talking about those gun owners who all they care about is their 12ga duck and turkey shotgun. Were he to ban those, he would have instantly doubled the number of his new enemies. There are no stupid politicians – only stupid voters who think that politicians are stupid. So far, JT had you like this!

      1. Besides which Citronella, Little Potato could care a whole lot less about what gun owners think of him. Every gun owner who vows never to vote for him, triggers five eco-lefties who vow to always vote for him. Just like insulting Trump, pi$$ing-off gun owners is really good for the brand.

        1. You are a typical defeatist who does nothing but types away on the Internet. Do something for a change. Like, get off your couch bum and take an action.

          Lawyers always look to generate a stream of clients for them. If both Ed Burlew-all-my-clients-end-up-in-prison and Solomon Friedman-I-won-one-case kept their mouths shut, the 12ga travesty would have been a non-issue, but they just cannot pass on the opportunity to blow this muck out of proportion.

          Some just need to learn to keep their mouths shut.

          1. You wouldn’t know Ed Berlew from a hole in the ground and you never heard of him before this week so quit running him down.We need someone keep an eye on JT as you call him .You frogs make me want to puke.

          2. “You are a typical defeatist who does nothing but types away on the Internet. Do something for a change. Like, get off your couch bum and take an action.”

            Ugh ok cupcake. Lead by example. Tell us what have you done. Go on, the floor is yours.

      2. Reading comprehension… not your strong suit.
        12g is based upon an 18.53mm lead sphere as a projectile, that is not necessarily the diameter of the bore. There is also an allowance for windage inside the barrel, and it depends upon where they measure the bore, The removable choke would have to have a minimum 18.53mm clearance with the choke in place. Now add is some space taken up by the choke itself, and allowance for the threads and you are over 20 mm when the choke is removed. Do not presume that the interpretation of how to measure the bore will be based on anything resembling sense, they will simply measure the maximum diameter found in any part of the barrel.

        It also appears that the 10,000 joule ban is based on a UK plan to ban 50 BMG long range target shooting, and the muzzle energy was added after consulting with the target shooting group explaining that there are other calibers that shooters would have to switch too in order to compete at long range target events. Clearly there is some globalist collusion going on. How else do they all come up with the same regulations at the same time.

        Oddly, the joules depends upon how much powder can be loaded, so they could really stretch this definition to ban a lot of stuff.

        The only hope for a free and prosperous future is #WEXIT with a real constitution that limits government and protects citizens, not a Canadian style anti-constitution that empowers government and restricts citizens.

        1. Unlike you, I have calipers and a number of barrels in front of me. Each one with a cylinder bore barrels measures 18.5 mm from the forcing cone to the muzzle.
          I challenge you to push a 20mm cylinder of sphere down a 12ga shotgun barrel. Once you ruin whatever shogun you have, in the process, come back and retract your rubbish.

    4. Where the hell did that come from?? I was aware of the broad ban on so-called assault-style firearms but shotguns??? So we bring down the geese with… slingshots? Was this reported as part of the ban? I sure as hell didn’t see it!

      1. All firearms above 20 mm. So yes shotguns too.

        Now lets look at 10 gauge. Yep. All those are now banned.

  3. Interesting video on the mansions and businesses of West Palm Beach, Florida.

    An early investor in the development of Florida was a gentleman named Henry Morrison Flagler (January 2, 1830 – May 20, 1913) who was an American industrialist and a founder of Standard Oil, first based in Ohio. He was also a key figure in the development of the Atlantic coast of Florida and founder of what became the Florida East Coast Railway.

    The Breakers, a luxury Palm Beach Resort, (shown in the video) is family owned by the Kenans, descendants of its founder, Henry Flagler. These days, there’s only a handful of truly grand hotels left on the planet, most of them owned by chains, corporations or consortiums. The Breakers Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

    See link for more on Henry Flagler, a fascinating industrialist:

      1. Oh, man, oh man! You did it.
        Those are f-u-n-n-y!
        The Marx Bros– everybody’s favourites.

        1. I think that was their first movie, made several years before their masterpieces Duck Soup and A Night At the Opera,

    1. Yah history is very interesting NR. My older brother deceased, married into the remnants of the old Elkins Family, the old man Wm. Lukens Elkins created Standard Oil and sold out to JD Rockefeller. JD was his pallbearer. He built the first oil refinery in north America. He also built the first grocery stores with refrigerated food. I was at my brothers wedding as a boy. The first time I ever drank champagne, I did not know what it was and became a little under the weather but did not make a fool of myself, that came with age. Amazing story. The Gilded Age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elkins_Park,_Pennsylvania

      1. Interesting tid bit of information.

        Re: Flagler he had a grade 8 education but lots of determination. Amazing what one could do in those days if one was bright and ambitious… and… a big and…if one didn’t have to pay income tax to a government. They didn’t call it the Guilded Age for nothing.

    2. Love Henry Flagler. Have visited two of his hotels in St. Augustine. One is now a community college offering tours, and the other is the Lightener Museum. The Lightner Museum is itself fascinating- built by the guy who published Hobbies magazine in the 30’s. It is a fascinating look at everything collectable– kind of a reflection of traditional American culture — everything from music boxes to shrunken heads . . . Tiffanny glass to cigar boxes, and of course the building– the old Alcazar Hotel is itself amazing. I believe Ester Williams was a seasonal attraction at one of the first indoor pools inside the Alcazar. The rich would book their hotel rooms for months each winter. You could not get overnight or a short stay. Very fun place to visit. https://lightnermuseum.org/history/

      1. Lucky you. Seems interesting.
        I didn’t see that but I spent some time in Saint Augustine and loved all the Spanish architecture and history re: Ponce de Leon.

        I drove right by the Flagler Museum once years ago and would’ve visited it but it was closed for the day at that time.
        Oh well, maybe some day.

        I spent lots of time at the beach and little time in museums for some reason. Of course, the tan and latest fashions were at the beach! How shallow, eh?

        1. Saint Augustine is the oldest European settlement in North America. A friend of mine was surprised it was older than Quebec City. It is, but not as many old buildings because the earliest structures there were made of sand and shell. They have restored the original fort, but most everything else is newer. Hopefully one day we can all travel again. Sigh!

  4. Happy May 9th. or as one poster said Happy Jan130th. The snow did not last long but what did is now frozen on the car much like Jan.

  5. Where we stay in Florida there are monster homes along the beach. I walk by them everyday They take up every square inch of the lots and I am always amazed at the wealth represented by these places, some are bigger than smaller hotels. Hey some are bigger than the modest condo buildings we stay at, the entire condo building.

  6. The Liberal Party’s CBC continues its rant this morning that it started yesterday, that women are being effected most by the China virus. And the Senate continues to discuss that all legislative bills must take into account how they would effect indian women.

  7. OJ mentioned this and Nancy Ross posted it yesterday.

    I won’t/can’t be as nice as Black.
    Canadians are coward-snitches and the longer this goes on the darker the days ahead will be.
    Anyone who is afraid to venture forth can stay at home, but STFU.

    Has anyone been keeping track of bankruptcies? Probably but its being kept secret for now because any industry that says the Lockdown Fascism has to stop will be blackballed by the Sky Is Falling Industry that is growing like a cancer.

    Meanwhile, totalitarian politicians and their bureaucratic minions at all levels are devising and implementing long term strategies to do this again and again for any Number of Reasons that the coward-snitches may come up with.

    Individual Liberty has been punched in the face but the Schemers have only just started. The nastiest of cops are going to really enjoy the coming years of darkness.

    1. Canadians are coward-snitches and the longer this goes on the darker the days ahead will be.

      I saw evidence yesterday that people are going screwy because of the Prinz Dummkopf plandemic and are taking things way too seriously.

      I was waiting in a grocery store lineup and I overhead a “conversation” at an adjacent check-out. One middle-aged woman started snarling at the one behind her for, allegedly, violating “social distancing” by coming a bit too close (slightly less than 2 metres), even though the latter was wearing a mask.

      I joked that she might be considered a hardened criminal and get arrested for that.

      1. My neighbour who emigrated to Canada about 73 years ago from Hong Kong said that he recently got scolded due to a social distancing issue. He didn’t seem too put out by that though. Knowing him, I think he was rather amused. And, knowing him, I’d bet he was, in fact, too close to the woman who scolded him. He likes to get up close and touch a person’s arm gently, as in a friendly gesture, when he talks to them.

        When I was outside gardening recently he stopped by to say hello and see how and what I was doing. We said our hellos etc and then he told me about this incident. I just sort if smiled and said that there was a lot of paranoia going on now due to the pandemic. I avoided saying what I usually call it, (WhuFlu) as I didn’t want to seem blameful. That said, what I wanted to say, but didn’t, was that he should’ve told the screamer in the grocery store, in his perfect English, that he has been in Canada for a longer time than she is on this Earth. But, I let it go.

        This same neighbour told me last winter that he’d be dead from from starvation had he not emigrated to our Country. The sad part was that as a five year old he alone came to live with a relative because of the dire situation the family was in. He, however, felt abandoned by his mother. A five year old wouldn’t understand these things, he now reasoned.

        He later, as an adult, sent for his mom to come to Canada. One day he finally told her how he felt about being abandoned as a small boy. (had a tear in his eye when he told me this) He asked her point blank why she had abandoned him. Her reply was no reply. There were no words. To him that was his answer. Silence. Pure silence. Silence is golden. As a father of two, I think he understood her silence.

        He and his wife took care of his mother in her old age. I’m sure his mother was very proud of her son, his family and their lovely home.

        1. Your unsaid suggestion reminded me of when we hired a couple of new grads from Philly, Drexel to be exact. One of them must have had very limited exposure to Asians. Our group used to go out to lunch together once a week, and he was very happy we were going to a Chinese restaurant that one week, as he said he loved Chinese food. So when he got there, he scanned the menu and couldn’t find what he wanted. So he called the waiter over and asked where was the Egg Fu Young listed. The waiter said they didn’t serve it. And he sort of screamed at the waiter, what kind of Chinese restaurant is it that doesn’t have Egg Fu Young.
          Well anyway, one day he was trying to show off his erudition and asked did anyone know what those two words were. I said it was spoonerism. He was kind of shocked, and asked how I knew. And that was what I answered. I have been in this country a lot longer than you have. So I should know English better than you. And I did.
          Your neighbor (pardon my American English) must have come in 1947. That was only two years after VJ Day, and China was already plunged into the civil war that ended with the Chicom gaining control. There was a lot of poverty in China, and many children were really literally abandoned. Your friend was lucky to have been sent to a relative. I suppose his own family could not feed another mouth. I am glad his relative taught him the virtue of filial devotion.
          I was luckier. My parents chose to apply for immigration for the entire family of six of us. They were teachers in Hong Kong. In the then third world city it was the upper middle class. Not knowing the language well enough to teach here, they only found the most menial of jobs. My father chose this with his eyes wide open, so the children will have a future. I can never repay my parents for all that they have done. I did do my share in helping them buy a papa and mama grocery store. Luckily later my brother became a neurosurgeon and could set them up for a comfortable life when my father was seventy and my mother sixty. God in his providence let them live into their nineties, and so they had long happy sunset years.

          1. Your family story is a nice one OB.

            Filial devotion. Those are nice words, especially considering what the occasion is tomorrow.

            My neighbour never really told me what year he came to Canada so I don’t know the exact history– only that he came here at 5 years old. I think someone was going to Canada so they brought him along. Perhaps it was a hasty decision, I’ll never know. I don’t like to ask questions in case these things are too painful. I think I was right in that regard. As they say it is always sweet sorrow. I have conveyed this story from memory as I heard it in bits and pieces over the last few years.

            They are very kind people. They came over one day with a basket of freshly grown tomatoes and we’ve been good neighbours ever since. When they couldn’t grow them any longer, I reciprocated the favour. None of us is growing tomatoes now but have remained friends to this day.

            These days we chat and gossip (nothing ever maliciously) about anything and nothing. He loves the NHL and misses the games tremendously. Want to know what brings us out where we meet most times? Snow. We sometimes sneak and shovel each other’s driveways to help out. It is sort of a gift now. There are no tomatoes.

    2. Buddy have you looked at the value of the Loon lately. Go try buying physical gold if you can find any. There is a real shit show coming the bankruptcies and crazy stuff is getting to be everyday story.

      1. I love Conrad Black, but endorsing Trudeau over Harper was one huge misjudgement. My normally intelligent husband also voted for Trudeau in that initial election (but not last time). I will not let him live it down. Thing is, the Trudeau government is getting genuinely scary. So much of what they are doing is hurting our democracy. I am pretty sure that much of what is happening is directed from outside the country. Where are the other Liberals? My local MP is Liberal, but she seems to focus on communuty pep rallies, rather than important issues. I get the impression that most caucus members are side-lined and simply told what to do.

    3. Anyone who would start a small business in the climate would be insane. It can be taken away overnight.
      There needs to be a commitment to never do this lock down bull crap again. But that won’t be worth the paper it’s written on as i think the damage done was intentional. Look how long Trudeau waited to shut the borders, then followed WHO blindly with out question. then they get all offended when people rightly ask, “Whose side are you on anyway?” Their words do not match their actions.
      This was a huge over reaction to a bad flu. It must never happen again.
      I don’t think most people realize the damage it’s done to our way of life and the economy.
      If they threaten another shutdown in the fall, a lot of jobs will not be coming back – ever.

    4. Bud @ 7:12 am

      Ever since McGuinty, Kathleen, the fake Green movement, companies have been going buh-bye.
      Now under Trudeau, the same. The oil patch. WhuFlu.
      Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Ad infinitum.

      The common denominator?
      Gerald Freaking Butts.

  8. O J everyone one is effected by the insane government policies but we all know that some animals are more equal than others.

  9. Surprisingly, Paul Wells at Macleans has a good story on Blackie’s new cottage at Harrington Lake. But now the Liberal Party’s Saturday Toronto Star. Editorial cartoon that Trump is Hitler. Editorial that all Canadians are mentally ill, and the cure is more government. Heather Mallick complains about her pansies or something. Tony Burman explains that the president of Brazil is Hitler like Trump. Star columnist and Stalinist Salutin’s new book is reviewed by Michael Coren. Coren also reminds us that evangelical Christians are evil. More Trump is Hitler stories. Blackie is wonderful, the Liberal Party is wonderful, socialism is wonderful, Islam is wonderful, Indians need more money, Canadians are racist bastards.

    1. This is my second thought! The IRS identification Number is my SS number… WTF… is the IRS keeping a secret database of Illegal Aliens under the Obama Care coverage? When you become legally documented you get a SS number and you are required to pay taxes on WORLD earnings…Must itemize deductions…The SS number is used for payroll tax payments….

      Something Stinks @ the IRS .. I smell an California Democrat..Nancy the Botox / Ice-cream wonder

    1. Bill Blair is a fffin disgrace. The SOB should spend the rest of his days mucking the shit out of the GG Horse Guards stable on the end of a number 9 shit shovel. What is an even bigger disgrace is the inbred stunned from the ass both ways eastern voters that created this mess by voting Trudeau 2x.
      A pox on all their houses.
      But I must say that Alberta Independence is gaining, and Unifying. So I have restrained myself somewhat, amongst Alberta Independence groups the option of petitioning for US Statehood is actually leading at the moment.
      Imagine that, The Apocalypse of Donald J Trump as President over a good chunk of the former Canadian Province of Alberta.
      Oh My, the CBC wags and hags will all be wearing garlic necklaces and the Priest from Exorcist splashing Holy Water on them as their heads spin like Linda Blairs.

    2. I emailed my MP. She’s an idiot.
      I will get an automatic reply and that’s it. I was polite but made sure to mention that Liberals claimed to be evidence based law makers.

      1. You’re lucky you get an automatic reply. I e-mail Sask Premier Moe and some of his cabinet and don’t even get an automatic reply. Corrupt b**tards.

  10. You need to ask these questions! Why should Quebec take on the debt of the National Government of Canada?
    Why should Western Canada take on the debt of Ontario & Quebec?
    First one out the door wins first prize.! Let Canada go Bankrupt

  11. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau gave his daily parliament on the cottage doorsteps briefing. He explained how wonderful he has been all week, and ordered people to be nice to mothers. His drooling, bought and paid for, taxpayer funded media asked him such important questions like, is more being done for missing indian women and whether medical supplies coming in will be in both French and English.

    1. ordered people to be nice to mothers

      I’m going back to my house in B. C. tomorrow. I’ll leave a card on my mother’s urn.

    2. “ordered people to be nice to mothers”

      Is that why he spent $2.5 million “fixing up” a 2700 ft2 house to a 4800 ft2 house, so his family could stay there while the $6.1 million fix up to the primary vacation residence went ahead?

      Guess the 22 room “cottage” in Ottawa was getting a little to cramped for Sophie. I mean they had to share the tennis court with the Governor General!

  12. Trudeau’s press corps also asked if he was concerned about packing plant price gouging.

    Caveat: this may be an issue, hard to avoid when a few companies have near monopoly.

    But you can bet any problem, real or not, will be tackled by Trudeau in a way that benefits him & his employers, and harms Canada.

    1. harms Canada

      More specifically, harms Alberta. Dear Leader considers us to be the Taiwan of North America, a region of rebels and renegades that need to be taught a lesson we must never forget.

      1. Trudeau “considers us to be the Taiwan of North America”

        Very well said!
        I’ll need to borrow your entire comment, suspect it’ll age well!

        1. I’ll need to borrow your entire comment

          By all means. Glad to help.

  13. Liberals will use the chi-com-covid crisis to tax principle residences, prediction from Michael Campbell, Money Talks.

    I fear Michael has it dead right.

    Liberals never waste a crisis.

  14. Liberals never waste a crisis.

    Or miss an opportunity to pick our pockets. They had it in mind all along. This plandemic was just the type of excuse they were waiting for.

      1. The real scary part is that you certainly can’t depend on the Conservative Party to reverse anything even if the Canadian Media allowed them into power.

  15. Just an afterthought about the gun ban. Just suppose in their determination to influence the climate the Liberals enact an OiC to limit the amount of horsepower that you can have in your vehicle. Canadians lose about 2000 people a year in car accidents, a number that far exceeds the number of Canadians killed by guns each year. So if the government can enact laws to confiscate guns from legal gun owners and there is no backlash then they are surely aware that they can then restrict the amount of horsepower in the family sedan. After all it is in the interest of our future well being, no one needs more than 50 horsepower to commute to work or go shopping. If you think that can’t happen then you truly are a Liberal. The gun grab is just the beginning, an unarmed populace is the ultimate aim of every socialist/communist/NAZI. Without the means to defend, we are nothing but slaves of the state.

    1. “no one needs” is always the key phrase uttered by people whenever the state takes something from somebody else.

      1. – and they get really huffy when you point-out, “no one needs a cellphone – and in the ‘States right now, cellphones kill eleven teens a day – making-up the annual total of school shooting deaths every eleven days. So why don’t you ban cellphones?”

        “Well I NEED MY cellphone!” ” – like Hitlery needed her Blackberry?”

        ” – Besides, wasn’t it you who said “If only one life is saved…”?” “Shut up, SHUT. UP!!!”

    1. Yes. It makes you wonder if he was caught with Justin in a compromising situation.

    1. As one of the comments puts it:

      “Nick Sandmann made his first $10 million when he was 17. Thanks, CNN!”
