Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Ontario and the Feds are making Ford into another Bombardier to satisfy the need for prolonging Unifor jobs while indulging in more green virtue signaling. At a cost (to the unborn taxpayers) of $175,000.00 per UNIFOR job “saved”, electric cars justify corporate welfare from a bankrupt couple of governments. (CBC-link warning: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ford-oakville-government-1.5754974)
This generosity is to make sure we forget about the WE Scandal.
It’s Agenda 21 all the way for garbage cars.
Start the presses, print ’em Danno:
https://spencerfernando.com/2020/10/07/the-bank-of-canada-is-printing-money-like-crazy/
I wonder when they will build the generating capacity to charge them? I wonder when they will realize that electric cars are not green unless that is the colour they are painted? I wonder how many more years we have until we are starving in the streets because of the governments we elect?
Oh the excitement of being able to purchase an afFordebal electric vehicle made right here in Ontario Canaduh.
Wonder if they’ve also planned for stations to charge the freaking things up ?
Has anyone figured out how well they’ll work in the cold white north and imagined fizzling out in a blizzard?
Even Fort St. John’s got a charging station now. Whoopiedoo!
I wonder when they’re going to install the extra generation and network hardware to double the capacity of the electric grid. Until that’s 5-10 years along, they’re not serious.
We also can’t forget doubling Copper mining, and other green requirements meaning increases of up to 7 times current mining levels of other metals.
BA, you know that all the charging stations in the world will charge nothing without a power plant, not a windmill, not a solar panel, a freaking power plant, coal, oil, natural gas or nukes. I don’t care, as there really is no such thing as perpetual motion machine. When I have said that in the past, many are unable to relate to the concept of a perpetual motion machine because their limited intellect does not allow them to grasp what has been said. I know you do.
Wonder if these ‘lectric dinky cars will still be in use when the population will be whittled down to a few million peopleskind, as per AGENDA 21?
Well in Peterborough Ontario charging stations have been installed at the mall so that everyone in Peterborough who owns a Tesla has their own charging station. How great is that.
VOWG:
FSJ is close to the Bennett and Site One Dams, with Site C, just south of town, currently under construction. Electricity isn’t a problem there.
Millions of tax dollars down the rabbit hole. If EV’s were any good there would be no need for the government to prop them up. The fact that the taxpayer is being forced to subsidise them is proof enough that they are a stupid idea.
No one had to be forced or bribed by government to switch from horse and carriage to the automobile. People found them more efficient and affordable in the long run.
EV’s are not efficient. Once Musk runs out of money, he’ll be charging for using his stations; hey, he can’t give it away forever.
What a moonbat saves on gasoline he spends on electricity. Since it is his entire power bill he is less likely to realise that this is the reason for the increase in power costs.
Wasting tax dollars does not grow an economy. Doesn’t matter which party is at the helm, it is stupid. And, it is the unaccountable bureaucrats who are pushing for this along with fascist number one Jerry Diaz as much as the politicians. The only thing stupider are the voters who believe this crap.

Over the years Dylan had many different ways to present his songs; that was from his country twang era.
BTW all the songs from Blonde on Blonde are finally allowed to be posted on the web.
From the comments…
“This is easily one of the most iconic if not THE most iconic drum break of all-time”…
Watch “Phil Collins ~ “In The Air Tonight” LIVE HD

Nancy – I tested out my new, Canadian made, Sound Dynamics speakers on that song. Great live version.
This pseudo live version of a less well known song may not be your cup of tea but it illustrates the raw vocal power of the young (21) Robert Plant and talent of (25) Jimmy Page. I learned yesterday that it is a complete rip off of a Joan Baez song!!

Their drummer was pretty good too as he demonstrates at the opening of this reggae song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgucqyr-H7M
They were so young there! Every second young guy you ever saw then had great hair like that!
I remember when L.Z. first came on the music scene, thought they were so different, thought, now that’s rock! Heavy rock!
This song was a favourite!

Nancy – I have only met a couple of female L. Z. fans and none who were around when they first came in the music scene. You’re a very interesting lady. Thanks for sharing.
Gosh! Thank you too, Paul!
You’re kidding right? Besides the fact that there’s another drummer in the band below and … John Bonham.

Thanks for posting the Tal Bachman article. He pretty much nails it.
No one person is the greatest in the world. Sure they can be a phenom, prodigy or outstanding but the greatest? At what?
There are a lot of tricks in a recording studio. Songs are manufactured. Re recorded over and over. The pitch of a note corrected. Multi tracks. It’s endless. That is why some bands can’t create ‘their sound’ live.
Live music us best.
De nada and exactly. Lord knows I’ve tried! On the other hand, many fine live bands had trouble recreating the power of their live sound in the studio. When made King, auto tuning will be one of the first things outlawed! 😀
How about the ubiquitous click track…..arrrrugh
I have no problem with a click track as long as it’s only in my headphones while laying down a track. The Beatles’ Blackbird didn’t turn out so bad, though.
Moi?
Dearie, that quote was from “Real Slim Bobby,”… 5th comment.
My apologies. I don’t see that comment. Anyway, it’s not that Phil wasn’t a good drummer, it’s just that I could play what he does there and I’m just a mediocre guitar player! 😀
Okay!
Scroll way down below all the rows of YouTubes,
there ‘s a whole lot of comments. Enjoy.
Good that you can play. I can’t even sing one note!
Tks for reply. No– never any hard feelings!!

“Then There Were Three” was Genesis’s last good album.
Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau continues his pre-election public relations tour this morning. He will be explaining on a couple of radio stations on how wonderful he is, and then gives away money to the peasants at 12:30. He will then head for Harrington Lake for Thanksgiving with his family. But remember, you are not allowed to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Trudope played Ford like a cheap fiddle yesterday . We will all pay dearly .
I think Ford has abandoned leadership. Now I suspect he is not the sharpest crayon in the box, but people liked him because he was down-to-earth and had common sense. He was relatable. With Covid, I think he had backed off of leading and is deferring to experts (Wynne bureaucrats and the corrupt Feds). Understandable to a point. He has also gotten a certain amount of approval from leftists ,which has probably gone to his head. They will start attacking him once he returns to Conservative policies. But that’s what he was elected for. Liberals continue to ruin the country, and Doug Ford needs to get out of bed with them. Covid is being used by Libs to manipulate the provinces, and it will not end well.
The Burning Platform has a item that now says the CDC says no one has isolated the covid19 virus. Short but worth the read. I don’t do links.
I have also heard this. The tests are based on detecting some strand of RNA which could be almost anything– including a dead virus from a cold. A chief of public health from Bulgaria made the same claim a couple of months ago. Now here is a question: If they really have not isolated this virus, then how are they able to put together a vaccine? I think they are developing it under principles different ftom that of traditional vaccines. Most people are not aware of this.
That was my question.
The separatist Bloc party is proposing legislation to make electric cars mandatory. Story at Blacklock.

Yes. Very cute and nice to see something upbeat for a change.
Americans should ask themselves “what happens if Trump loses?’. The Democrats have campaigned for 4 years on a anti Trump theme. An illegitimate POTUS and a rationale for all that id wrong in America. Actually not all that different from Bush just amped up. My question would be what the new theme for rationalizing radical progressive thought. I assume it will be a shift back to global warming and racism.
The fact that the Democrat platform or the influencers behind that platform have not been fully exposed to date suggests to me that Pence lost his debate and Trump has not been as focused as needed.
‘The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War’
Mr. Bastardi is a weather historian. In chapter after chapter, Mr. Bastardi shows how extreme weather and its consequent impacts on the environment is really just weather doing what weather does.
‘…just look at this data on heatwaves in the 1930’s. Where’s the crisis today? There isn’t one‘.

Apparently Inuit are racist bastards. And Inuit cabinet minister has been removed for saying negative things about Black Lives Matter. That is not allowed in Justin’s Canada even if your an indian.
Or Eskimo!
Once again, President Trump has been passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize in favour of the UN’s World Food Program—for its contributions, no doubt, to encouraging savages to breed faster than civilized nations and hurrying along the end of “capitalism.”
Others on the shortlist, I hear, included Greta Thunberg, the WHO and the Russian fringe political figure Alexei Navalny for his role in embarrassing Putin.

And now a news update from Canada’s Unifor media. Trump is Hitler. Doug Ford is Hitler. Quebec’s premier is wonderful. Lots of global warming stories. Nazis are running rampant in Toronto against blacks. Indians need more money. New Green Party leader wants Blackie to cancel byelections in Toronto, our dictatorship will do. Justin is wonderful. The Liberal Party is wonderful.
Make sure to read the comments section to appreciate how divorced from reality David Naylor’s approach of lockdowns now, lockdowns tomorrow, lockdowns forever is. (Oh and the riff on George Wallace is intentional.)
https://nationalpost.com/health/new-declaration-calls-for-forced-protection-to-achieve-covid-19-herd-immunity-critics-say-it-would-be-deadly
And then there is this news from the horse’s mouth.
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/did-who-just-accidentally-confirm-covid-no-more-dangerous-flu
Maybe it should be filed under MATH IS HARD for WHO.
The declaration us an important one and comes from many knowledgeable people. Naylor is disagreeing, but I don’t think he has expertise in this area. He should butt out. We need a Canadian champion for the declaration. The declaration makes perfect sense and is a good compromise. The current situation is insane.
A minimum of 28 days of lockdown in Toronto and Peel starting tomorrow.

My Thanksgiving celebration will be when I am able to boot out the Mayor, Premier and Prime Minister from office.
hi, runswithbeer here, just a quick question, i just learned a woman winter texan from Sasketoon bought the mobile next to me here in south Texas. is saskatoon a liberal city? i hope she is not one or we will have a long winter. i’ve been to Moosejaw and a few other places. i had a duck hunting cottage in sandy lake, Manitoba for 15 years. sure do miss the people there, lotta good memories.
sure will miss those harvest suppers coming up. i stayed the whole month of October. also kept Molson running a second shift.
RWB
I see no one has answered you yet so I’ll give you my opinion, if I may. As an Easterner who has spent the last 24.5 years in Western Canada (Alberta) I’d say every larger Canadian city is Liberal but some smaller towns are as well. As for the provinces, most are Conservative (in name only) like Saskatchewan.
(I generally never speak about politics with strangers and the policy has served me well. I usually assume people are Liberal – Communist)
RWB:
I used to live in “Saskabush” (as we sometimes nicknamed it) nearly 40 years ago. Back then, it was quite a conservative city with late-night shopping only on Thursdays. (That was expanded to include Fridays by the time I moved back to Alberta.)
I haven’t been back there since the early 1990s, but I’ve gathered that its political leanings have changed considerably. Apparently, it’s now quite left-wing.
Hard to say. Try to strike up a conversation about homeless, needle exchanges, and carbon taxes. If she is a progressive, she will give it up right away, they always do.
Both Rex Murphy and Conrad Black have new stories at the National Post website.
Holy carp, just saw this on LinkedIn. Looking at the numbers for excess deaths, then COVID19, in Sweden. Afterwards comparing with other historical numbers for over 100 years and other countries.
How many hundreds of millions are condemned to extreme poverty and early deaths by the lockdown lies?

Apologies if previously linked by someone else, I usually don’t check links that aren’t described.
Excellent. Someone needs to alert the Ontario government who are currently going nuts over cases, cases, cases — and little actual sickness and death. This is a fear driven pandemic. The test are not well fit to purpose. Governments are totslly on the wrong page.
These politicians need to start leading instead of following. Shutting down the economy isn’t leadership – it’s cowardship ( I know it’s not a word).
Post Millennial reports that our Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau has won the Planetary Leadership Award, even though he hasn’t planted a single tree. That’s ok, nobody cared when he pretended to be black either.
China’s ties to US riots

Note that a former Notley cabinet minister and a current Dipper MLA marched with them.
On a similar note, in Fort St. John, the city hall is directly across the street from the local RCMP detachment. During my last trip there, I noticed that, on the sidewalk right by city hall, someone had spray-painted the word “bacon” along with an arrow pointing to the Mounties.
Nice peaceful town, eh?

‘China’s ties to US riots
From the Epoch Times:”
Unless they were born in this country ever god damned chinaman should be sent back or shot.Period.
These rotten bastards have screwed up the whole world. Nuke them all.
I beg your pardon, but you are talking about me.
I am proud of my Chinese heritage, which does not include a smidgen of the Communist theology imported from Germany via Russia.
You will be hard put to find someone who is also as proud of my American heritage. I believe the Constitution to be the greatest political document in human history. I believe Thomas Jefferson wholeheartedly meant what he said in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. Politically, I am as strict a conservative Constitutional constructionist as you will find. I believe the Constitution is the firm foundation upon which was built the greatest and the best political entity in the history of the world, and the most benevolent to the common man.
Go ahead, call me a rotten bastard, a god damned chinaman. If you are going to fall into the trap of confusing the political overlord with the people, do you also hate the British, the French, the Germans with equal vigor? At one time or another, their leaders had as much design to vanquish our republic as the Chicom do now. And I can honestly call you a god damned racist.
Do you know who publishes the Epoch Times? The Falun Gong, which is founded and led by ethnic Chinese.
