  2. In Brandon, Manitoba just who exactly are the racists? ….

    Police arrested two women who were part of “A group of five people, including one man and four women, started a fight with the man (Kevin Taylor, 44, black man, father of four) by yelling racial slurs at him… a woman allegedly stabbed him (the Black victim) five times in the side of his abdomen.”
    “A 23-year-old (woman) from Brandon, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, public incitement of hatred, mischief to property and failure to comply with a court order. Another woman, a 20-year-old from Sioux Valley, was found nearby and also arrested. She was charged with assault, public incitement of hatred, public mischief and failure to comply with a court order.”

    Are these vicious attackers Trump supporters? Max Bernier fans? Anti-maskers? Yellow-vesters? White redneck Wexiteers?
    Umm, no.
    The CTV report mentions nothing but a group of four random women and one random man who attached and stabbed a black man. Only once you see the CTV News video does it slip out from the Brandon Police spokes-model Staff Sgt. Bill Brown that the attackers are Indigenous. There goes the narrative.

    Surprisingly (stunningly, shockingly), the CBC is the more honest media outlet on this story…
    “For something like this to happen so close to home with an attack on a Black person, especially somebody from my community, it’s totally uncalled for,” said Eleanor Elk, councillor at Sioux Valley Dakota Nation.”

    Of course, this is the CBC, so naturally they have to throw at least some meat (err… vegan, non-GMO meat substitute) to the woke wolves, as it were…
    “(Eleanor) Elk has experienced racism in her life but never imagined someone from her community would attack another person, let alone another person of colour.”
    Nah, never, they were the sweetest kids in the world, would give you the clothes off their own backs, were just getting their lives back in order, were raised in a toxic colonial society, hey where did this knife come from, were in and out of prison since they were 14 years-old, it’s all John A. MacDonald’s fault, die evil white conservative, die.

    1. “(Eleanor) Elk has experienced racism in her life but never imagined someone from her community would attack another person, let alone another person of colour.”
      Let alone another person of colour?
      I came to the U.S. at age 13, and was totally ignorant of race. We lived in a black ghetto. I went to a parochial school in another city. I talked some classmates into driving me home after staying late at school. They were really hesitant, but I didn’t know why, since I asked because I knew they lived near me.
      Anyway, as the car neared where I lived, they said they are going to slow down but not stop, and I should just open the door and jump out. It turns out they were Latinos, and I found out later they really did me a great favor, taking their lives in their own hands driving through a black neighborhood.
      Let me tell you, there was no brotherhood because we were all “people of colour” but different colours. The most overt racism I experienced was when I walked on my street, and stupid little black kids followed me down the street and went “ching ching chong chong” at me.

      1. Unfortunately Old Bruin, Racism comes from every society and color. As a former sailor, I’ve been to many places where I was the “minority”, and not everyone is outwardly racist, but there are an ignorant few who are. I always recall attending a Stevie Wonder concert in Jamaica, and my buddy and I, were the only whites in the auditorium. The singer himself was the offender. Presumably, he assumed all the people there, were people of color. However, he has been blind from birth, therefore he has no real concept of visual color, and I can only assume it was a behavior learned either from childhood, or the managers and handlers around him. With everything, I go by the ten percent factor, with this, meaning probably ten percent of people are racist, but of that ten, only perhaps one or two percent are outwardly vocal or abusive. I don’t believe the US or Canada is inherently or systemically racist, yet there are always racist people around, and it is a learned behavior, not a natural one. I’m glad you have not experienced a great deal of it. Those youngsters were not being raised by responsible parents. I’m glad I was, and based on what you’ve posted a number of times, I think that you were as well.

    2. And yet the Liberal Party’s CBC ignores the daily stabbings in Toronto by blacks against other blacks.

    3. Do we suspect there was more to the attack than simply a racist attack? We will be so surprised when it comes out at trial. I suspect that racism, as a motive, would be around 10th on the list.

    4. Years ago I remember T’sutina woman on the C-Train hassling an Asian girl, asking, “Hey, you Boat Person?”

      My daughter complained of discrimination when her mother moved in with her boyfriend on the res. It included getting hit in the face with a rock.

  5. The latest media talking point is this supposed study by something called The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). It said that it looked at 7750 BLM demonstrations in 2400 locations, and only 10% of the locations and 7% of the demonstrations had turned violent. They seem to think that 10% violence is quite alright, and show that the demonstrations are not violent in nature.
    No retort is better than this twit from Matt Walsh:
    Remember: Black Lives Matter isn’t violent if only 10 percent of their protests turn into rioting and looting but the police are racist murderers if less than .001 percent of arrests of black suspects turn deadly. This is how statistics work in Leftist fantasy land.

    1. What is so sickening is the constant comparison to other countries.
      What did parents say when you did something stupid with your friend? “I guess if Billy jumped off a bridge you would too.”
      Welcome to the Autumn of Canada or The Fall of the Dominion brought to you by the Corrupt Liberals of Canada led by Juthtin, Weirdo Trudeau II.

      And the citizens will overwhelmingly approve.

    2. “Trudeaunomics; borrow and print money until our money is worthless.”

      As we recover from the Trudeau created depression are we going to have inflation as good as his daddy created? I’m guessing yes. How to prosper in such a scenario is to borrow long term at fix rates to buy appreciating assets. Before you follow my advice – remember I am just some random asshole on the internet.

      1. scar, I profited on his dad’s insanity, but I am too old to work that hard now for jr. I borrowed long term for real estate.

      2. I got money, marbles and chalk sweetheart, but I still feel like I am poor. . .

        Money, Marbles and Chalk

        Heard this when I was a child, and wondered how it is possible that a marble could not roll any more.

        Now I know.

    3. Yes, the pandemic is so severe that a complete overhaul of the economy is required.

      This can only be accomplished by a boy with credentials that might qualify him to be a town fool or court jester…..so great is his world vision.

      Madness.

    2. The article says we’ll be paying for generations.

      That’s the whole idea. They’ll inflict some programs on us so that it’ll be too expensive or complicated to get rid of easily, so we’re better off being stuck with it.

      It’s like government car insurance in B. C. The Dave Barrett NDP forced it on people and, after nearly 50 years, it’s still in place. There were some limp attempts to dismantle it, but either too many Lotuslanders objected or it was so deeply embedded that it was cheaper and easier to leave it alone.

      Yeah, I guess one could say that the Dippers won that one.

      1. Good point about ICBC and the impossibility of dismantlement.
        A very large percentage of rules and regs and institutions initiated in the Roosevelt era remain, even though the original bases for them have disappeared.

        ICBC after initially telling me that obviously there would be zero deductibilty for me, ultimately assigned me 50% responsibility for my motorcycle falling over on a flat bed tow truck. You see they represented both parties: me and the tow truck company, ironically called “Payless”.

        My best current anaology is the building of bike lanes here in Vancouver with hard cement infrastructure. It will be impossible politically and financially to reverse.

    3. Hey Joe, Oh they’ll probably introduce a 90% death tax rate before we die. If they do, I’m thinking one of the first to pay will Justin himself!

  8. Why is that extradition treaty with the US important

    https://nationalpost.com/news/they-were-making-a-lot-of-money-bringing-them-to-canada-u-s-busts-alleged-cross-border-gunrunners-toronto-man-wanted

    “First, he is waiting to put Ahmed before the courts in the U.S. That will likely take an extradition hearing.”

    This is something for the crowd that wants Meng released to consider. Especially those living in those mostly peaceful neighborhoods in Toronto.

  9. And now the main story at the Liberal Party’s CBC this morning. Trump won’t condemn Russia’s poisoning of an opposition leader! Trump is a Russian pawn. Russia! Russia! Trump ridicules dead veterans. Only Dementia Joe and China can save North America. In other CBC news, Justin is wonderful.

  10. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau is spending a relaxing long weekend at this Harrington Lake resort.

    1. Apollo 15, probably my favourite mission, the first one dedicated to scientific research. The landing site was beside Hadley Rille in the lunar Appenines and it was located much further north from where the other crews were. It’s rugged terrain, so there was some apprehension as to whether Dave Scott and Jim Irwin were able to safely land there.

      It was the first one that had a lunar rover, so Scott and Irwin were able to cover a lot of territory during their EVAs. One of their accomplishments was that they found a piece of anorthosite, believed to be part of the original lunar crust.

      Al Worden, in the meantime, was in lunar orbit, making observations of surface features. On the return trip, he went outside to recover film canisters from the Service Module and he had quite a view: the earth on one side and the moon on the other.

      1. An anecdote: at the university here I taught (UNB at Fredericton), it invited Harrison Schmitt to give technical and non-technical geology lectures for a day. The university circulated his CV for we academics to gander — and on the first page it said that he was the only geologist to survey the moon (on Appollo 17). Mighty impressive thing to see on a CV, a visit to the moon, and we joked about it around the office.

        1. Mighty impressive thing to see on a CV, a visit to the moon

          Indeed.

          Being a geologist, Jack Schmitt helped to train some of the landing crews. He wasn’t satisfied with how the astronauts were being taught at first, so he convinced one of his former professors to help out.

          Since the latter missions emphasized science, Lee Silver showed them not just how to survey a lunar landscape but to accurately describe to the scientists in Mission Control what they saw. This allowed those scientists to instruct the astronauts on which samples to collect. It was that training that likely allowed Scott and Irwin to find the aforementioned piece of anorthosite, the so-called Genesis Rock.

  13. From Rex Murphy:

    “The boys (and girls) at the Cottage have their own ideas about Canada and recovery. None involves the West. All involve the superimposition of an alien mode of meretricious green economics that will leave this country chained to massive debt, a devastated economy, and windmills from St. John’s to Victoria. Were I in opposition, “fight back against the madness” would be my cry.”

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-codfish-purity-biscuits-and-fog-you-know-you-are-in-newfoundland-when/wcm/617af01b-8d64-4934-a8a7-2ef789569b91/

    “None involves the West?”
    The above cries out for WEXIT. Who the hell do they think they are?

    A great theme song for Wexiters:
    The Animals ~  “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”
    https://youtu.be/wJVpihgwE18

    1. Who the hell do they think they are?

      Our lords and masters. The correct question should be who do we think we are?

      1. Who are We?
        We are the Taxpayers. The Taxpayers are the distinguished predominate establishment, principals and directors.

        “When they are 50 yards from Parliament Hill, they are no longer honourable members, they are just nobodies.”  P.E.Trudeau

        1. We are the Taxpayers. The Taxpayers are the distinguished predominate establishment, principals and directors.

          No, we’re not. Prinz Dummkopf sees us as a pestilence to be eliminated, but, while we still exist, we may as well be sheep to be constantly sheared.

          From the very beginning, he has waged war on Alberta, enacting legislation designed to strangle us economically. Or did you think that the west coast oil tanker ban had anything to do with killer whales?

          1. Yes you are, we are!

            THAT BOY does not know his place.
            He declares war on the taxpayers and expects no retaliation?

            Watch he will get what is coming to him.
            Eventually.

          2. He declares war on the taxpayers and expects no retaliation?

            He, sadly, has a lot of support. Lotusland, though not Liberal, backs him through the Dippers while Southern Ontario and Quebec have traditionally hated and despised Alberta.

          3. I’d say his popularity is subject to the laws of gravity.
            Think Newton.

            From Quora:
            Prince Agrawal, aerospace engineer, on things that go up — must come down…
            “No, in terms of gravity it is only true as long as you throw the object up with a velocity less than its escape velocity. Once its thrown at speeds equal to greater than escape speed, it won’t come down. Anyways, once you realize how gravity works, you also realize that there isn’t any “UP” or “DOWN” literally. Its just a way of understanding in our heads, so that we are able to make much sense of the observations around us.”

            I’d say the boy is proving to be up and down all the time. The last election proved it.

          4. I’m afraid we’ll be stuck with him for a very long time, or, at least, until is paymasters tire of him.

            I’m sure he’s eagerly watching what’s happening in the U. S. Once Harris becomes President, Prinz Dummkopf will be doing something similar.

          5. To Nancy, re quora:
            From me, OldBruin, physicist and aerospace engineer:
            What Prince Agrawal said is stupid. If you are talking about the gravitational attraction of two objects of massively (pardon me} different masses, such as Prince Agrawal and the Earth, you can basically regard the lighter of the objects to be falling towards the heavier object. The direction of the fall is “Down”. the opposite direction is “Up.” Everyone on Earth has always known this, except pinheaded scientists who try to be smart asses.
            (Technically, the two objects form a system, and both fall towards the center of mass of the system — assuming no angular momentum is involved. But in the case I cited, the center of mass of the system is no different than the center of mass of the Earth, for all practical purposes, so only Prince Agrawal is the only one falling.)
            When angular momentum is involved, such as the Earth’s revolution around the Sun, the gravitational force bends the vector of the angular momentum from tangential in just such a way as to cause an elliptical orbit. You can say always falling towards the Sun keeps the Earth from going off on a tangent. But being always in motion prevents the Earth from burning up.
            Also, we all know what goes up does not have to come down. Many, many objects have escaped from the Earth’s gravity. So what’s new? And being an aerospace engineer, Prince Agrawal ought to know that to escape from the Earth, the best way is NOT to throw an object up at the escape velocity. At the necessary speed, most likely the object will burn up in the atmosphere. Practically, we first place the object in a parking orbit (ref space stations). To do that you can have a continuously accelerating rocket rather than a one shot attainment of escape velocity. The speed required is much lower, both because of the continuous acceleration, and because you do not have to achieve escape. From the parking orbit, it is much easier for the object to escape, both because it already has kinetic energy, and because it practically doesn’t have to worry about the atmosphere.

            OB–

            Nice of you to reply.

            While I understand and appreciate your very interesting submission, I simply do not have your qualifications nor background on the topic to comment any further.

            In future I shall be more skeptical about the veracity of certain things on the web. While the internet does provide some semblance of truth it is not the final authority on everything, I’ve come to learn in other instances.

            That said, even today, in certain cases, not all scientists agree all the time about everything as I’m sure you know, for example, about the topic of Climate change. (It must get very difficult for any Judge to adjudicate those cases)

            With all due respect, surely the Quora Group would appreciate to hear from you.

    1. No need to use the live vaccine. When I was a kid they used it as a booster but we already had the injection. Just give the injection in the shithole world like they do in the developed world. At one time if we nuked a few villages in Pakistan we could have eliminated polio.

    1. Why do Africans want to come here by the millions? And why are Nigerian immigrants among the most successful economically?

      1. I think to get out of Nigeria you have to have some means, and be acquainted with being productive in order to acquire those means, since Nigeria is not one of the countries we just swoop in and fly people out of.

        I heard of one Nigerian that died in an apartment filled with cash. Apparently he had been trying to give it away to strangers, but nobody would respond to his emails.

        1. I heard of one Nigerian that died in an apartment filled with cash.

          No wonder the money he promised was never transferred to my account.

    1. The health care system likely killed 10 times as many people as the Wuhan Flu by refusing to treat sick people to keep hospitals empty for the deluge that never came. How many Wuhan patients are in intensive care at any one time in Alberta? 6.

      1. Strange, I posted thru the heat of Wuhan Flu on this blog, that some folk’s treatment continued, while the hospitals were emptied. A breeze to drive on empty roadways and the hospitals were like morgues. We’re playing catch up now and waited 75 days to see a specialist to tell me that surgery wasn’t needed, just go with the Cobalt option, as the hardware installed is still good to go. Traffic is back to pre-COVID levels and masks are now mandatory as a kontrol measure….know your places, plebes.

    2. As a retired businessman of some 40 years, I kept wondering, why not cancel surgeries and cancer treatments, etc., in real time as the deluge actually materialized. This way, as it turned out, no surgeries or treatments need have been cancelled.

      The stupidity and incompetence is breath-taking! Literally.

      1. Indeed.

        In a single payer/provider health care system you have zero choice. A government that takes that choice away deserves to be immediately tossed from office and the chief medical officers and ministers of health should be criminally charged.

        What they did is unconscionable.

    1. Hi Jim, Thanks for this it was well worth watching, the last ten minutes were electric amount of information. For those not wishing to watch an hour plus video, check out at the 56.00 minute time, wow!

  18. Blackie’s CTV is excited this afternoon at all the new homosexual, lesbian, and transgender roles on the new season of Star Trek. Apparently everybody in the future is a pervert.

    1. Gee, I didn’t even know there was a new season of Star Trek….not that I’m at all interested anyway.

      1. Star Trek Discovery. It is exceedingly woke and unwatchable.
        Also known among fans as STD.

        1. No surprise.
          Star Trek has always been exceedingly woke, no matter what version or which era, from the late sixties to the present.

    2. I gave up on Star Trek with The Next Generation. The only ST movies I liked were the ones based on the original series (the first of the re-boots was awful).

  19. Can the tracing of people with counter establishment ideas be far behind?

    Google and Apple have pushed out their COVID tracing architecture as part of their latest OS update. If you installed iOS 13.7, it’s there.

    https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/09/02/ios-13-update-covid-19-contact-tracing-notification-system/

    I suppose the Fed’s app will suddenly go away and they won’t have to convince us now, just hope that like 90%+ of humans, we don’t read to the ‘how to opt out section’.

    It’s 30°C on my patio yet my blood just ran cold.

        1. Maybe I’ll be lucky and it turns out not to be water resistant. (“Oops, I’m such a klutz. I accidentally dropped my Huawei thingy in the toilet.” “Waddaya mean I’m not supposed to use it while I’m in the shower?” “Oh, darn, I can’t use my phone and wash dishes at the same time.”)

          1. I’m sure Chappy socks is looking for tracking implants instead. Sadly they won’t be ‘surgically’ implanted (just like the tax system if you get my drift).

          2. With all the stuff I’ve been told to put there, I doubt there’ll be any room left for a Dummkopf chip.

    2. “On a lighter note, Apple’s iOS 13.7 update also adds new Memoji stickers.”

      LOL.
      Diversions for the useful idiots.

    1. I bet Wolf Blitzer is just in it for the cash. I can’t imagine he has swallowed the Jeff Zucker “CNN as Fox-Left” Kool-Aid. I bet more than half the on-air CNN “talent” doesn’t believe what they’re spewing.

  23. I’m currently watching that old Woody Allen movie Bananas on the old movie channel, and for some reason I keep thinking of Canada.

  24. Back in Alberta after 5 weeks up in the bush in NW Ontario. Feels good to be home.

    I met a few conservatives there in the land of the ndp. Spent a few nights in a shithole otherwise known as Thunder Bay. I was told the top 7 employers are all government institutions. Little wonder they all vote ndp/libranos.

    The city is a lot like Democrat hell holes that are now experiencing the consequences of their policies.

    It’s worth your life to venture forth in the evening.
