  1. Larry Correia comes out swinging again: https://monsterhunternation.com/2020/11/09/election-2020-the-more-fuckery-update/

    “From physicist and author Travis Shane Taylor – “In a sample space of 1 million marbles, 800,000 blue and 200,000 red the probability of drawing a blue marble is 80% the first time. To draw about 30 blue in a row is 0.124%. To draw 100 in a row is 0.0000000235%. To draw 250 in a row is more zeros to right of decimal point than stars in the universe!!!! To draw 138,000 blue marbles in a row is mathematically impossible within the age of the universe without human intent and interaction. In other words, cheating.”

    …

    It’s amazing how all these extremely improbable statistical events just keep on happening, but only in the places where they make the most difference. Go figure. “It’s a miracle!” declared the Party of Science.”

    Read the rest yourself.

      1. “But there’s no evidence!”

        Sorta’ sounds like Obama’s “Scandal-Free Administration”, don’t it? To those on the left (including too many of my in-laws), let me paraphrase – thank you!

        – When they say “But there’s no evidence!”, they mean “But there’s no evidence THAT I’M PREPARED TO BELIEVE!!!!!!” –

        Works just like global warming – “It’s gonna’ kill us all!!!” – ahh, no it’s not, and it isn’t even happening; and many (the Heartland Institute as just one example) have plugged it so full of holes that it’s as bogus as Mann’s Hockey Stick. And what do the religious zealots of global warming cry out? – “There’s a CONSENSUS!” Ya see, there isn’t a consensus – but they’ll never ever look it up themselves, instead they’ll cling to their belief so hard their fingerprints are embossed in it.

        To paraphrase Mencken, their pet mania/phobia is a disease with them; and worse, it’s incurable. “Humans – harmless singly, savage in crowds…” #smh

        1. – When they say “But there’s no evidence!”, they mean “But there’s no evidence THAT I’M PREPARED TO BELIEVE!!!!!!”

          Remind’s me of Stuart Chase: “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.”

  2. Did Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Get Caught in this Coup to Overthrow President Trump?

    The media  is in the US is in total fabrication mode on this Presidential Election and President Trump did not lose power and has another 4 years.

    With our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulations to Biden in the States and planning a future together can be constituted as an act of aggression to an acting President.
    Definitely an idiotic move on Trudeau’s part considering he is our leader.
    Hence a crime and can be considered as an act of war on the United States.

    What do you think?

    2. I think whatever the left touches turns to shit. Even worse it is the left who is racist. Trudeau is an idiot and so are 85% Cdns.
      To congratulate some clown who was not declared a winner while maintaining that we must trust the lawful u.s. election is a sad joke.
      I hope Trump makes Trudeau + Canada suffer greatly & I’ll be vey happy.

      1. “Trudeau is an idiot and so are 85% Cdns.”
        I’ll give you the former…the latter, more like 39% based on votes for.

        1. 39% are confirmed idiots. The other 46% are unaware of their idiocy; akin of voting for a party that does Liberal things while claiming they are “conservatives”.
          Leader of said “conservatives” displayed his full liberal leanings by tweeting congrats to Sleepy Joe on Saturday.

          See a trend? 85%

  3. Last year we were in the midst of the Cancel Don Cherry fiasco because he had the temerity to call out “you people” for not REMBERING by simply wearing the poppy. This year as I observe when I’m out and about virtually NO ONE is wearing the poppy. Am I wrong?

    1. They had problems with the idea of contamination in reaching or some silly shit so poppies were almost on the cannot sell list.

    2. Fuck the Legion, their virtual remembrance and their pandering to Turdeau. I will attend the local cenotaph, and may just get myself arrested if asked to move away.

      1. We have always attended our local cenotaph on Remembrance Day, even when the ceremonies were moved to a leisure center, with heat and videos and all the trimmings.
        The veterans certainly deserve those comforts, but I can stand out in the freezing cold for an hour to pay tribute to them, it’s the least I can do.

        This year, due to Chinese Lung AIDS, they are not having the ceremonies at the leisure centre, but rather the cenotaph again, with a twist.. Attendance is limited to 100 people by pre-issuing tickets. Wreaths will be pre-laid and ceremonies abbreviated.
        We will stand on the sidewalk or in the street, if we have to, at risk of arrest, or some other silliness. We will be covering our faces, it’s called a scarf, its winter out here!
        Isn’t observing Remembrance Day the ultimate “peaceful protest” against forces that would deny us our freedom?

      2. Did you get an invite to a cenotaph ceremony? There isn’t one in our city, none. I played the last post at cenotaph ceremonies for many years when I was young, rain, snow, cold it didn’t matter. I often wondered why the 11 th was always so miserable. Today where I am it is cool and raining once again.

    3. That is correct, my grade six son was one of only four kids in his class wearing a poppy today. I asked him if he wants to wear it tomorrow if so few are wearing it, his response (really), “Yes, because fuck you liberals” I am so proud of him.

  6. “… Canadian veterans who have served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.”

    What do they mean “we?”

    If you’re a government employee or a banker, enjoy your day off. Just don’t pretend all the bloodbaths you started had anything to do with freedom, or with anything but your own greed and vanity.

  7. In Flanders Fields By John McCrae

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.
    ——————————————————————————–
    L- “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” Plato

    I wish that he was mistaken, but history and current events portend otherwise.

    War has been more common than peace.
    Hence why the Beatitude: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they are the children of God.”

    If Pres. Donald J. Trump received the Nobel Peace Prize for: Destroying the war mongering Islamic State, Deterring the war mongering Islamic Republic of Iran, negotiating a cessation of hostilities by North Korea, and then negotiated Peace Treaties between Israel and 3 Islamic states.

    Then peace and freedom would still be a highly honoured Western value.

    Or will they be more honoured in the breach, than than the observance?

    The Axis of Evil arrayed against peace and freedom, directly or via 30 pieces of silver, they kowtow to the CCP & the M.B.

    Will the C.C.P. fall and be replaced by a new Federal State of China ?
    Or will it do to Taiwan and Singapore, what it has done to Hong Kong?
    Then add South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, including post-nation state Canada to it’s roster of client states? …

    Okay, okay, the Trudeau regime may have already rendered that last question moot?

    The 21st Century peoples will live in interesting times. The above is only a partial list.
    Now about that quarrel with the foe…

    1. Did an English assignment many years ago and when reading a particular passage I gleaned one possible meaning from the author that may have framed his mind after seeing the carnage.

      Globalists to politicians:” Take up our quarrel with the foe:”

      Politicians to the people:”To you from failing hands we throw
      The torch; be yours to hold it high.”

      The dead soldiers then speaks their curse:”If ye break faith with us who die
      We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.”

    2. I think we can count on that ambulatory dunghill Greta Thunberg to win the Prize. They gave it to Obama (WTF!!!) and Al Gore, so why not continue the idiocy?

  8. In observance of Veteran’s Day in the U. S., Turner Classic Movies will be showing The Best Years of Our Lives today (2020-11-11).

    1. One of my favourite movies and definitely worth watching. Harold Russell’s performance was incredible and rightly deserved the Oscar for Supporting Actor.

      Our movie lineup today is all about The Great War. We’ll watch as many as we can:
      Shoulder Arms (Charlie Chaplin’s brilliance) https://archive.org/details/videoplayback-9_202008
      All Quiet on the Western Front (another classic)
      Gallipoli (a Peter Weir epic)
      They Shall Not Grow Old (Peter Jackson’s labour of love)
      1917 (stunning!)
      Sgt. Stubby, An American Hero (to end on a lighter note)

      On a personal note, one of my great-grandfathers, of the 102nd (Tyneside Scottish) Brigade, died on July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. In 1990, I visited the Scottish National War Memorial in Edinburgh Castle and found my great-grandfather in the Rolls of Honour.

      1. One of my favourite movies and definitely worth watching. Harold Russell’s performance was incredible and rightly deserved the Oscar for Supporting Actor.

        Actually, he won two for his performance, the other one being for providing inspiration to his fellow veterans. The one for Best Supporting Actor was a bonus.

        My mother had fond memories of that movie. Shortly before she died, she watched it in Berlin, though it was dubbed at the time.

    1. DR.SHIVA FIGURED IT OUT.
      It’s OVER.
      The algorithm has been figured out. Every time a Republican threshold was met this “glitch” would kick in and take Trump votes and transfer to Biden. It’s over.
      This is the smoking gun https://thedonald.win/p/11Q8O453fd/drshiva-figured-it-our-its-fucki/c/

      Who is Dr. Shiva????
      Dr. SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, the Inventor of Email, Scientist, Engineer, shares the results of his team’s mathematical analysis of four major counties votes in Michigan in the Trump-Biden election that reveals an unfortunate truth of U.S. voting systems. The analysis raises important questions for Election Integrity.
      https://youtu.be/Ztu5Y5obWPk

      1. I’ve got a link to the video that explains the method on the following post. I thought I might last 10 minutes, but watched the whole hour +. “Biden wins” only if you believe that heavily Republican areas voted against Trump. And the more Republican the area, the stronger they voted against Trump. In a linear fashion.

      2. If people lack the time you can start at the 19 minute mark and go to at least 34 minuites.
        Dr Shiva graphs several hundred precincts from 4 counties. The more heavily weighted the vote is for Republican the MORE the voters votes counted for Biden. Down-ticket the Republican voters then voted Republican
        ITS LINEAR. And the linear downturn is THE SAME for early voting vs Nov 3.
        Three other counties are compared with THE SAME LINEAR DOWNTREND RESULTS.
        You can make the argument that even if you want to believe that Republicans hated Trump so much, the larger the population size, they still wouldn’t be able to hate Trump in such a perfect line.
        In Wayne county that is mostly Democrat the algorithm wasn’t applied so the voting isnt tampered with. Then Trump has a +10% vs the Republican down-ticket
        Conclusion starts at the 39 minute mark
        An algorithm was used to move Trump votes to Biden
        As precincts increase to higher % Republicans the greater % of Trump votes transferred to Biden
        The MORE the precinct was Republican the more % of Trump votes transferred to Biden in that precinct
        The SLOPE of the discount to Trump votes is the SAME for each county ( In which the algorithm was used )
        The Algorithm is a weighted race allocation method where the % is a weighted decimal vale and Dr. Shiva predicts he will be able to calculate the % based upon more data
        Weighted Race is a documented feature in elections as early as 2001
        ALL Major Vendors of election counting ( not just Dominion ) have this feature
        Diebold had the original feature with the subsequent vendors using the Diebold source code @ 43 minutes

  13. From Oz:

    Remember the Newfoundlanders!!

    Beaumont-Hamel, near the Somme, a brief few minutes on the morning of July 1, 1916

    1. – and for those of you who didn’t know (I didn’t), the Newfoundland Memorial Day (their Remembrance Day) is 1 July, the date of Beaumont Hamel. And it predates their joining Confederation, so please cut them some slack when their celebrating Canada Day seems muted.

      Beaumont Hamel was a tragedy. The Newfoundland Regiment (afterward granted the title of Royal Newfoundland Regiment, the first time that had been granted while at war for >150 years) was a follow-on to an attack in their sector. The trenches leading to the front lines were clogged with ammo bearers, messengers, stretcher teams, wounded being brought back to the dressing stations, so the officer in charge of the Newfoundlanders formed them up in the open, intending to advance over open ground rather than through the trenches.

      They formed-up in full view of the German machine guns across the front. Pretty well every Newfoundland family lost somebody that day. Merely one of the horrendous leadership decisions in the Great War.

      “At the dawn of the day and the going down of the sun, we will remember them.”

  14. My biggest disappointment in our Canadian Politicians is that so much History is for ever erased and not recorded of missions served, who and where. My whole Regiment of 4 years service…gone, not even on the internet. A few scraps of banners and colours. Very disappointing.

  16. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-personal-care-homes-covid-19-1.5795547
    Maples Long Term Care Home in Winnipeg has had 22 COVID deaths recently. “Revera Incorporated” is the “for-profit” owner of Maples and over 500 other properties in Canada. Up to the end of May 2020, “Revera Inc” properties have seen 164 deaths. I haven’t been able to get a more recent number, although it is certainly higher.

    Who are the shareholders of this evil “Revera Inc” corporation?

    Why, in fact it is the Public Sector Investment Board, a federal crown-corporation! Justin Trudeau is ultimately responsible for his Liberal government’s operations and its decisions. On Rememberance Day I want you all to remember how exactly our veterans and their generation is being treated, and who is responsible.

    You won’t be reading this in the CBC story, linked above, or in any other Canadian media story on this issue. All mention ends at the word “Revera” because protecting the Liberals is job-one.

    1. Just spent the last three hours “wandering” through the Revera website trying to obtain COVID death numbers and case numbers. Technically, these numbers are publicly available. In reality the site is designed much like a casino floor. You can enter, but you’ll never find the doors (or get a straight answer). I had to download over 100 PDF files.

      I found Revera Inc to have publicly announce the DEATHS of 290 SENIORS (after May 1, 2020 to Nov 4, 2020).

      Various media have reported 164 deaths from March to May.
      Hey, your Federal Government at work! I wonder when the investigation will begin (LOL).

    2. I see yesterday the idiot Tam telling us it is time to get serious. WTF have we been. Has anyone noticed that since masks are the order of the day cases are expanding. I am not sure if they really are cases or an expansion of positive tests, which are not cases unless someone is ill. I read that 85% of all those who became ill in the U S were regular mask wearers. Good God we are a nation of fools.

      1. Masks are just like gun control. There’s a solid body of international research that concludes masks do little or nothing to prevent COVID, but so what? “See that? – we’re DOING something!” “Yeah but it doesn’t work…” ” – So WHAT? You WILL wear your mask, or WE will ARREST you!”

  17. Terminology – no-one of official status has called the numbers for Biden

    So, in older terminology the “Presidential Pretender” rather than the “President-Elect”?

  19. I spent 27 years in our military. Finished a Warrant Officer and 141 parachute jumps I deployed 5 times , almosrst divorcing but got awarded severe PTSD after a total of 20 months in Afghanistan over 3 deployments. My JTF-K TF 01-07 we lost 26 brothers KIA. Twice 6 guys in 1 day. Devastating.
    I remember them daily. Recurring nightmares make my life hell.
    All for nothing. Very angry at our stupid politicians.
    I don t even care what happens in next 5-10 years about 11 Nov; only old guys like me on parades at cenotaph. Fuck millenials

    2. I feel for your soul brother to be in peace from the terrible memories and hope the good ones cover the bad.

    4. Ray your services in difficult environments is deeply appreciated. You have my respect for your fight against wahhabi terrorists (Al Qaeda-Taliban).

      And before you, Canadians fought communist tyrannies in Vietnam and Korea. They too deserve respect and remembrance.

    5. Good Job Ray!!
      My Grandfather was at Vimy and Passchendaele !!!
      He couldn’t talk about the war!!! Remembrance Day was so tough for the boys who had seen so much!
      As you know so well!

    6. Take good care of yourself man, and thanks for your service. And yeah: fuck millennials.

  21. Did you get an invite to a cenotaph ceremony? There isn’t one in our city, none. I played the last post at cenotaph ceremonies for many years when I was young, rain, snow, cold it didn’t matter. I often wondered why the 11 th was always so miserable. Today where I am it is cool and raining once again.

  22. “What have Veterans done for me lately?” – a liberal’s first thought at the end of a conflict.

    1. ” – and how many of them can we fire, we NEEEED the money!” – the liberal’s second thought at the end of a conflict.

      I remain aghast that the U.K. scrapped HMS Warspite after WW2, and the U.S. scrapped USS Enterprise; both the most decorated ships in their nations’ history. Yeah, museums are expensive ‘n all, but still…

      1. the U.S. scrapped USS Enterprise

        But the name wasn’t. More than 15 years later, the U. S. S. Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered carrier, went into service and was designated CVN-65. The “Big E” has since been retired, but a successor with the same name is in the works, one of the Gerald Ford class of carriers. When completed, it will be CVN-80.

  24. Many years ago I visited Normandy France. At one Canadian war cemetery I walked by every headstone of the fallen.

    There were over 2000 Canadians buried there. I noticed their ages. Most were 18 to 25 years old.

    I kept walking. I noticed every fallen Canadian was younger than I was.

    I was 38 years old.

    I have never forgotten that visit.

    To all who died, were injured, and who have served this country, thank you. I will not forget.

    1. Beny-sur-mer?
      2018 wife and I went. Found my uncle. He and dad turned 25 on June 4. Uncle died there June 6.
      My father never spoke much of WW2, he came home less one leg and his brother.

      1. My father survived WWII but, according to my mother, he was a changed man; also never spoke of it.

    2. Back in 1966, my dad who was working at the time a the YVR airport for CARA ops. They had a 6’2″ Chef there – an arrogant German fellow who thought nothing of denigrating anyone and in particular my dad (being Dutch)…(I worked there as well as a bus boy). One day I heard a huge commotion in the kitchen and found my dad pounding this (_i_)hole with a viciousness I had not seen before…!! It took 3 men to get him off..! It took years for me to understand what set him off and why he nearly killed this guy had he a weapon to do so.

      When he was 17, the German Army picked him off the street (late 1941), and sent him east. He ended up in a slave labour kampf where Krupp was manufacturing aircraft parts and the like. He remained there till April 1945 when after 3 days with no German guards, an American Sherman tank appeared with a group of soldiers….he did not get home for 2 more months. His experiences were not something he spoke about if at all….when asked, he would get a glisten in his eye along with a faraway look for a few moments…that was tough to watch. I knew then were his hatred for these NAZI bastards came from. He did tell me though, that when they could they would take a case of instruments meant for replacement parts for say BF-109’s, and smash the box on the ground…then placing it back in the que to be shipped….he said it was their bit to aid in the war effort….smiling as he told me this.

      In 2000 he signed up for reparations from Krupp. He was denied because although he had plenty of evidence, het “papieren” weren’t quite enough (of course).

      Upon getting this rejection, he sent a letter in regards to said rejection to a world wide group that acted for slave laborers …. a Year later doesn’t he get a letter from Italy.. “Italy.?? I don’t know anyone from Italy.??” Comes to find out , it was his bunkmake from kampf, he had seen Dads letter and responded..!! WOW..!! When My father told me this, there were tears in his eyes. I get goosebumps telling the story. What they endured is beyond belief and I can fully understand why he lost it on that arrogant belittling German Chef at the time.

      Lest we forget that not only military folks endured this – millions of others did as well and continue to carry the pain.

      RIP Henk A July 2018: 93 yrs young.

  25. Federal NDP leader is demanding that Blackie do something about Nazis running rampant in Canada. He also wants a crackdown on right wing views on social media.

    1. Now if only the fool would realize that his brand of communism is the same as the nazis.

  26. I cannot read the history leading up to WW I without anger and the disgust of the Euro meat grander that killed so many Canadian boys. European royalty and industrialist who used our youth. Bottom line, countries could not compete with more efficient and technically advanced German industry so they shut them out of resources and markets.

    My mother’s first cousin died 10 days before WW II ended. At 22 he had already served for 4 years and had tried to join at 17 but was rejected. Battle field commission. He turned down advancement so he could join the battle. My mother said our family was never the same after his death and asked that I visit his grave in Holland if I ever returned to Europe. I did visit Halton last year and I challenge any Canadian to look at all those headstones and not cry. I did the same thing in Beny sur Mer in Normandy. When called these men served and I will never forget. Still, the angry remains with me. They should never have been used the way they were. Top that with the fact that those boys were never brought home to rest in their own country. The Americans brought their boys home, we did not.

    1. CT

      “The Americans brought their boys home we did not.”

      Here is a listing of American war cemeteries in France.

      https://fr.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/paris/sections-offices/abmc/

      I visited the American cemetery in Normandy. Very somber moment to see over 9000 crosses.

      My uncle, who was wounded in Europe, thought it was fitting that the dead were buried in the countries where they died, to serve as an eternal reminder to the local population of the soldiers, sailors, and air crews who died for their liberty.

      My Dutch friends told me the Dutch schools take their children to see the war graves in the Netherlands. I don’t know if this is still the case today.

      I was also able to visit Vimy Ridge. The memorial monument is very impressive. Around it’s base are the names of 18,000 (if memory serves me right) Canadians with no known grave. Very sobering to see all those names.

      May they all Rest In Peace.

      1. Joe,
        Roughly 60% of American war dead from WW 1 were repatriated. It likely would have been higher if the initial government responses had been to not repatriate. Gen Pershing was against it as he feared reaction by relatives who would want to view the physical remains. The French said no up until 1922 because their country was overwhelmed by lack of resources and manpower to carry out such an effort. 75,636 killed of which roughly 45,000 came home.

        I visited Halton and Beny sur Mer and the graves there were very well kept. You are right about the Dutch. At Halton you can enter your loved ones name and a bio will come up on the screen to tell you where he is buried and his record of service. At the center the Dutch guide told me each year a Dutch student is given a name and their responsibility is to learn something about the soldier and too visit his grave.

        My objection to not returning our war dead is that it divorces their memory from Canadians. Top that with families who do not have the means to visit their dead in Europe or where ever they were buried around the world. In my opinion Canada should have two military cemeteries, one in the east and one in western Canada. They would represent the sacrifice so many young men made for their country and ensure that November 11th is not the only day they are remembered.

        1. I’m told by people who’ve been there, the grass at Vimy is trimmed by sheep – and visitors are required to stick to the marked paths. They lose several sheep a year to exploding WW1 ordnance on or in the ground.

          The WW1 ordnance is particularly nasty because the bursting charge in a lot of it is picric acid. If it doesn’t explode (and historically, ~10% of fired shells don’t), it slowly eats at the shell casing, forming extremely unstable compounds inside the shell that can be set-off by even slight vibrations. France loses kids every year that are blown-up by shells; and often you can’t find the shells because they buried themselves deep in the ground when fired, and then frost heaves them up bit-by-bit to the surface many years later.

          Germany is in the same boat, from WW2 bombs. The American delayed-fuse bombs had a bakelite disc that kept the firing pin from the firing circuit, and then when the bomb was dropped acid would eat through the bakelite and fire the bomb. But the bombs sometimes bounced-off rock or dense layers of soil underground, and came to rest nose-up. Then the acid vapours would eat-away at the bakelite very slowly over many years. A bulldozer operator in Dusseldorf was killed by one of these some years ago, when he hit it with his bulldozer and the vibration finally shook the firing pin loose.

          What the FR1G is wrong with us?

    2. CT, I agree with you, and well said. I cannot bear to read anything on WW1. The generalship was obscene.

  27. So comforting to know the individual we call Prime Minister is “deeply disappointed in the way his MP Yasmin Ratansi handled her office”.
    What the hell, just a miner glitch, she broke the rules she knew were in place, hired her sister, had her change her name to hide it. She should be booted right out, no sitting as an Independant either.

    Trudeau’s arrogance once again riding high.

    1. Liz – he couldn’t care less about the way Ms Ratansi handled her office; he’s just disappointed that she got caught. And he’s probably really, really annoyed that it was the CBC which broke the story after all the money it’s received.

    1. I’m not sure “happy” is the right salutation for vets, rather dignified applause I’d say.

    1. How foolish of NYT — I am sure there are many election officials who have not found fraud — and quite a few others who have. If Trump wins, they are maliciously setting the stage for rebellion. Very dangerous.

    1. We’ll, AOC is wrong to threaten Trump supporters at all levels, but Trump is wise to know his globalist enemies, some working to bring him down, so I hope he is taking names. Mind you, I think he already knows what a superficial back stabber Trudeau is.

  32. Muslims and leftists recognize Remembrance Day. Bomb blast at a non muslim cemetery in Saudi Arabia during Remembrance Day services. Extinction Rebellion protesters take over Remembrance Day services at a cenotaph in Britain.

  33. Always conflicted on this day.
    Dad volunteered,served 5 years including Italy and Holland.
    He seldom spoke of it.
    However when reunited with a fellow Vet,from his unit,they spoke a language alien and told of things incomprehensible to us children,laughing at things hideously macabre and reminiscing of old comrades and the various ways they met their deaths.
    In his later years he concluded that those were “5 Wasted years” and that he and his fellows were shooting the wrong people.

    And now?
    We ,as a nation,spit upon the sacrifice,idealism and insane bravery(in the face of their own fear) of these men.
    “You are asking for more than we have..”
    “Oh you poor wee terrorist,here is $10.5 million tax dollars”.
    Never mind the killer equipment and constant betrayal by every style of politician.

    We have done to ourselves,damn near everything the “Enemy” promised to do to us,if we had lost to them.
    Why did they fight so hard for freedom,just for us to piss it away?

    Nothing quite demonstrates the irony of this day.
    We remember the men and women who risked it all far from their homes,as we hide from the Wuhan Flu and more truthfully we hide from the Plandemic Enforcers,who are more than happy to fine us and threaten us with loss of personal freedom,should we violate their mindless regulations,constantly in flux,these preventative safety measures which most all recognize as ineffectual play acting.

    In the face of government panic or their malicious use of public panic,to strip citizens of what few civil rights we thought we still had.
    And in the spirit of remembrance,all who criticize the mass hysteria and protest the government seizing ever more power over the individual,the ever growing parasitic blob…Why we are “Nazis”.

    So do we take a moment to honour those who serve?
    Or do we hang our heads in shame?

  35. I’m puzzled by the Legion’s Virtual Wall of Remembrance.
    Remembrance Day has always been the day Canada honors and remembers those who gave their lives for their country. While it is nice to see pictures of those old gents who made it home and lived a long life, today should be about honoring those who didn’t live a long life.

  36. Post Millennial reports on a muslim convicted of trying to join ISIS, receiving permission from the parole board to visit a ski resort with his girlfriend.

  37. “..My Dutch friends told me the Dutch schools take their children to see the war graves in the Netherlands. I don’t know if this is still the case today…”

    I’m Dutch and can tell you that as far as I know, nothing has changed.
    Folks there will NEVER forget….
    Holland sends some 500,000 tulips annually to the Ottawa area as a token of thank you.

    presages the effort by the current Liberal Government to change the heartland by paying for “Professional” urban journalists to populate heartland.

    Who’s paying all these, ( https://www.lakelandtoday.ca/other/about ; http://lakelandconnect.net/meet-the-team/ ), types of “professional journalists”? . Many of whom have relocated from the major cities to the heartland. Heartlands whos who?
