    1. Jackbooted Thugs beat a man to death, slowly and methodically, for fun,.

      Since he was white none cares.

      As always, they cynically abused the system while knowing every rule of how to do it. Then they lied in perfect harmony. Never accountable, never responsible. Investigated by toothless body of pro cop idiots who do their best to find nothing while pretending they are doing something.

      Every time a cop get cancer baby Jesus smiles.

        1. I am sure Myles Gray’s family or Dziekanski’s elderly mother take great comfort from that.

    2. Effing cowards beating a man to death in the streets of Vancouver and getting away with it… absolutely disgraceful lawlessness… of course the criminal cops stuck together, refusing to co-operate with investigators making damn sure they got away with savagely beating a citizen to death… this country seems to produce a disproportional amount of psychotic murderous so called Police officers. This latest pack of murderous psychopaths make me want to puke… cowards, psychopathic cowards on a power trip, just like those 4 thugs that killed that Polish guy at the Airport. This was a brutal savage murder. These “cops” are the scum of the earth.

      1. Of course when I suggest beating one’s enemies to ground I am ridiculed. Ok, if you won’t kill your enemies they will kill you. There is a classic example.

    3. On the other hand if one of the cops died of a heart attack during the altercation Mr. Gray would have been charged with murder or at least manslaughter.

    4. tl:dr

      7 Officers responded to a garden hose spray assault complaint (neighbor Karen/Kevin issue?)
      No witnesses at his home later that day.
      7 on 1, he resisted, but could not prevail.
      Officers accidentally cut,bruised, and injure each other in the melee.
      Dead resistor.
      How do we keep our officers safe?

      VOWG is right. It”s happening.

      A Steve

        1. Linda, we know exactly what happened. The guy was a busybody Karen. Harassed some home owner about watering her lawn when the city made it verbotten. She called cops. The cops came. He got all self righteous and indignant, probably telling them to arrest her or something. They would have none of it. He was an idiot who did not realize that he was dealing with dangerous sociopath predators. So they decided to teach him a lesson. And worked him over, methodically, sadistically Casino style. Broken eye socket, crushed voice box, smashed testicles. He got it like Joe Pesci’s character in the cornfield.

          Because that is what they do.

          And then they lied in perfect harmony and got away with stone cold lynching and murder.

          Because that is what they do.

    1. Heh, the last time they called me to offer a free subscription I told them “I don’t have a bird, and a parrot’s droppings aren’t foul enough to pay my respects for their editorial opinions.”

      The caller wasn’t smart enough to recognize what this meant, and asked if I wanted the 1 year free (or very reduced rate, I wasn’t paying attention at this point) subscription.

    2. The giant money magnet pulls all media left.

      However, O’Toole managed to stuff his own foot in his own mouth over residential schools. The cons are done.

    3. Plains Drifter -Why would anyone be surprised by this – it is SOP. The only suprise is that it took so long. By now everyone should realize apologizing faux consevatives are not going to win . And these guys weren’t smart enough to choose Leslyn Lewis as leader.

    4. Newspapers are a mirror of the society they operate in. Canada is a very liberal country. We would fit seamlessly into the EU. Our newspapers reflect our liberal attitudes.

  1. It appears that Peter’s, which served the best burgers in Calgary when I lived there in the late 1970s, has expanded into Edmonton (close to where I live):

    http://www.petersdrivein.com/

    I noticed a billboard for it earlier today here. One thing I noticed was that the spelling has been changed to “Peters'”. Any Calgary SDAers know anything about this?

    1. Nothing I know about BADR, my wife and kids swear by their fries and shakes in the summer. I’m usually at work and miss out.

      My wife grew up in Calgary and has fond memories as a child.

      1. Yup. When I moved to Calgary, some of my buddies from my freshman undergrad year found there way there and we often went to Peter’s. A triple burger, a medium order of fries and a shake was more than enough for me.

        The last time I was there was in the mid-1980s and the place was as popular as it was a few years earlier.

        Ah, the memories…..

        1. A full meal for a full price. Apparently they’re still having a hard time competing with “can’t beat our prices!” fast food, from folks who seem to think that ordering seconds is normal.

          I don’t eat there much, but when I do, I don’t need to order desert. (urp!)

        2. Never tried Peter’s, but I still have hope!
          What a guilty pleasure huh! Who doesn’t like fries and burgers. I make them at home sometimes. Fries in the oven and burger without the bun –real diet food. A shake is a meal for me, no fun in that.

          1. Well, I was in my early 20s at the time. ‘Nuff said…..

            Still, it beat anything from the main burger chains. The only place I ever ate fries that compared with what I could get at Peter’s was at a hotel in Bell’s Corners, just outside Ottawa. They were served with the best reuben sandwich I ever had.

          2. Oh, now you’re talking! A reuben is a big deal. Yum!
            With the suggestion of having latkes the other day by Abtrapper, a chick could go crazy!
            Wednesday am: In the time that I listened to this Classical Chillout on YouTube
            https://youtu.be/hSnD30bcAS8
            I made some Winter Food– an oven baked pork tenderloin and vegetable stew.
            Not as glamorous as those wicked delectables, but what the heck. Ya, no burger chains either pour moi– I hate cold food! They precook their food —the sneaks!!!! No more unless I was desperate — somewhere in between Wawa Ontario and Neverland.

        3. It opened early this year in Edmonton. There were traffic jams and long lines of cars running about a kilometer down Gateway Blvd. Never been there, or the Calgary location. Will go sometime in the future. Maybe escape the house to go get some take-out.

    2. I think the original owners sold out and the new team is choosing to franchise or expand. They’re in both Red Deer (gasoline Alley, West side) and Edmonton.

      I’m not a huge fan, however, last week, the family who are a wee bit housebound, insisted that we go. The lines have been longer than I’ve seen. When we went, it was backed up almost to Centre Street.

      I’m fairly certain there has to be a faster way to make shakes and giant soggy orders of fries.

      1. I think the original owners sold out and the new team is choosing to franchise or expand.

        That would explain the change in the spelling of the name from Peter’s to Peters’, the latter not making a lot of sense.

        I’m fairly certain there has to be a faster way to make shakes and giant soggy orders of fries.

        As often happens with a change in ownership, the quality, compared to what was produced before, doesn’t quite measure up.

    3. Went to Peter’s regularly when I was in Calgary in the 90’s.
      Great burgers and they were huge compared to the mega chains.

    4. Obviously more than 1 Peter or they named the store after their peckers. Actually it was founded by Gus Peters. Apparently grammar nazis took over when he died. I was a young pup a long way from home but the only Peter’s burger I had was in 1969 on Highway 1 in Calgary. I’m not sure they did sit-down service back then.

      1. I recall that when I lived in Calgary in the late ’70s, the service was take-away.

    5. There is one in Red Deer that opened a couple of years ago. Peter’s was sold a number of years ago and I think the new owners are expanding. Good for them!

  2. There’s a Peter’s Drive-in in Gasoline Alley in Red Deer, insanely busy. I stopped there once with my 12-yr-old daughter, she went into the very busy lady’s washroom and there was a big dump right in the middle of the floor, we won’t do there again.

  3. I should’ve added, we went to the Peter’s Drive-in in Calgary Thanksgiving weekend, two burgers, two onion rings, two shakes, $30+, can’t afford that.

    1. I remember the prices were a bit higher than the main chains, but one also got more for that money. For example, the fries at Peter’s were huge compared to the toothpick-sized spuds one got at McDonald’s.

      1. Ate there once, in the original in Calgary, many years ago; prices were cheaper than McD’s – and there was a McD’s right across the street. I imagine it wasn’t there very long.

      2. Single burger is one and one-half patties.

        One time I opened a double burger from Wendy’s. One patty had been hollowed out.

      1. It’s warming twice as fast everywhere as it is everywhere else. That’s why this is so serious. This is the biggest storm in NYC in ten whole years, so that proves it.

          1. “Hottest Year EVAR!!!”

            New Brunswick is no fun! “Evar!” They have snow in places until early May. I have a Springtime photo taken of myself sitting on a chunk of ice calved from an iceberg. It was stuck to the shore and the size of a Volkswagen beetle.

  4. Now that Canadian newspapers have to be approved by Adolf’s Revenue Canada, they are ramping up stories that please Justin. Both the Star and the Globe have stories this morning that Ford and Moe must fight global warming just as much as fighting the China virus. And O’Toole is a racist bastard.

    1. In the meantime, Jason “Jell-O” Kenney does absolutely SFA to counter Prinz Dummkopf’s war against Alberta. “Jell-O” has become a great disappointment to me and the UCP has lost my vote.

      1. Jason will write another tear stained perfumed note to his paramour Juthtin. Not realizing that although he did bite the pillow in the seedy motel in Ottawa for Juthin. To Juthin he is just an insignificant pile of dog shit on the sidewalk.

  5. Blacklock reports that Climate Ken’s dept. is ranting that people are committing suicide all over Canada because of global warming. Apparently the heat is driving people to suicide. I would go outside to see what Environment Canada is talking about, but its too cold.

  6. I sure hope someone follows the careers of the police involved, would be nice to see how grade 12 bullies advance within the police hierachy.

    1. Shortly after I started teaching at Armpit College, I had a rather eccentric student, a genuine fruitloop. He came to us after having started in engineering at university, but either dropped out or was given what we called a “dean’s vacation”. As I recall, the kid never finished his studies at AC and, the last I heard, he tried to become a police officer.

      Several years later, one of my colleagues, who joined AC well after that kid had gone, mentioned that the two of them had been classmates in university. When I talked about the former’s law enforcement aspirations, my colleague rolled his eyes and groaned.

      By the way, a “dean’s vacation” is when a student is booted out for poor academic performance. That person isn’t allowed to re-apply for a few years until he or she smartens up or has done something to improve their preparation.

      During my time at Armpit College, I had a few DV students, some of whom eventually returned to university and finally earned their degrees.

  7. https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/report-record-low-California-population-growth-15809432.php
    California saw its lowest population growth since 1900, according to a new report from the state’s Department of Finance.

    However… “Inland counties JUST OUTSIDE THE BAY AREA are some that had the HIGHEST population GROWTH rates during this period.” (emphasis added by Chris) “San Francisco grew by just 0.31%, adding 2,795 residents.”

    No US state “lost more residents to other states than California in 2019, with 653,551 leaving the state.” (NOTE: Average population per US Congressional district is 711,000. California will lose almost one of its 53 US House of Representatives seats each year at this rate. See next sentence for where those seats are going….)

    “Most transplants headed to Texas, with 82,235 Californians moving there in 2019. Arizona was the second-most popular destination, followed by Washington state, according to U.S. Census Bureau’s full 2019 state-to-state migration flow data.”

    How can this possibly be? Exorbitant taxes, rolling green-energy blackouts, no law enforcement, and city streets strewn with excrement are NOT attracting new residents? Say it ain’t so Gavin.

    1. The City of San Francisco is unlikely to grow as it has been fully developed for around 100 years. It is surrounded by water except on the south where it is bordered by other cities.

      1. San Francisco grew strongly all through the 1990s and early 2000s. Up until a couple of years ago they build condos in large buildings there for rich code writers who worked for companies like Oracle. In late 2020 Oracle announced their move to Texas, joining Tesla, and countless others. Large conventions and other tourist traffic started abandoning San Francisco before the COVID because of swarms of homeless people colonizing the sidewalks of formerly swanky urban neighbourhoods. But hey, you are free to believe Left-wing city and state politics has nothing to do with it.

        1. 1920 506,676 +1.97%
          1930 634,394 +2.27%
          1940 634,536 +0.00%
          1950 775,357 +2.02%
          1960 740,316 −0.46%
          1970 715,674 −0.34%
          1980 678,974 −0.53%
          1990 723,959 +0.64%
          2000 776,733 +0.71%
          2010 805,235 +0.36%
          2019 881,549 +1.01%

          Wiki says San Francisco grew more in the last 10 years than it did in the last 70 years. I am not saying San Francisco doesn’t have problems. I am saying your rationale for population demographics was wrong.

  8. Pro-abortion Chuck Schumer threatens Supreme Court Justices: “You will pay the price!”

    While the Supreme Court heard arguments this week on a case involving a Pro-Life Louisiana law, the fury of the abortion mob was on full display on the steps outside. The case has implications for Pro-Life laws across the nation, including Texas, and could potentially contribute to the building movement to overturn Roe v. Wade. The abortion mob is well aware of the possible watershed effects of June Medical Services v. Russo currently being considered by the court.

    Nowhere was this clearer than in the pandemonium taking place on the steps of the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Led by anti-Life Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York), a mob outside demanded that the justices maintain the abortion status quo and reject all protections for preborn babies and the health and safety of their mothers. At the podium, Schumer escalated his rhetoric to making outright threats against Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, both of whom were appointed by Pro-Life President Donald Trump and are expected to recognize the constitutionality of the Pro-Life provisions.

    Schumer shouted, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!” Not stopping there, Schumer continued, “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

  9. The Globe and Mail report on their website, that the traitors running this country are trying to get a judge to keep details of a spy case secret from the public. Adolf’s federal officials are afraid that China will be upset, if the spy case involving an accused selling Canadian shipbuilding secrets to China is made public. Well we certainly wouldn’t want to upset the Chinese.

    1. Especially don’t want to upset them when we have 2m of their agents embedded in governments Universities, and western corporations in Canada, USA and the UK. One of them could be fisting Juthtin right now.

  10. All our young brain dead green commies and Politicians that I hear talking about how we need UBI and Trudeau’s Great Reset and the Green New Deal. To me, it’s like hearing people boarding the Titanic saying “I can’t wait for this ship to pull away from the dock and get under way!”

  11. Anybody seen or heard from the mouth that roared Michelle Remple lately?

    She swallowed the librano bait and lost her mind over the vaccines claiming there would be none available. The libranos knew full well there were and set the trap. She has disappeared and maybe entered the witness protection program.

    1. The House of Commons has risen for its “Christmas Break” until January 25, 2021 (seven week break, after its eight-week long fall 2020 sitting… nice “work” if you can get it).
      Maybe we won’t have to hear from Michelle and all the other idiots for a long time.

    1. VOWG is an island in the sea of insanity.
      He’s a keeper and anyone who disputes that is an asshole.
      So be it.

  12. Post Millennial reports that Climate Ken and his global warming warriors, spent over six hundred thousand dollars at the Madrid climate conference.

  13. “Here is an interesting article from the Post Millennial. It reviews the arrest of fashion mogul Peter Nygard in Winniopeg. But two of the last the last three paragraphs are interesting:

    Campaign donation records also reveal that Nygard International donated at least $15,209.04 to the Liberal Party of Canada and their riding associations between 1997 and 2005. Two of these donations went to the riding associations of former Liberal MPs Belinda Stronach and Reg Alcock, both of whom were cabinet ministers under Prime Minister Paul Martin at the time. Jay Prober, Nygard’s lawyer, also donated $1,435.24 to the Liberal Party between 1993 and 1998.

    An additional $6,000 was donated to the Liberal Party by a company called Nygardco, which, like Nygard International, is also based out of Winnipeg and donated to one of the same riding associations as Nygard International. No company in Canada is registered as “Nygardco” and it is unclear whether these donations also come from Nygard’s company”.

    The entire article can be read here:
    https://thepostmillennial.com/fashion-mogul-peter-nygard-charged-with-sex-trafficking

    So, the Nygard extradition hearing will be a long, drawn-out affair, with his money. Bu note from above, the two principals in the case — Peter Nygard and his lawyer Jay Prober — both contributed large amounts of money to the federal Liberals. And they both gave zero amounts to other federal parties.

    The question Is: should the federal Liberals give back the $20,000+ plus dollars back to these two?

    1. All miners have an obligation to apply for work there so the yellow communist horde doesn’t bring in all their own workers. When they were going to open a mine in BC a miner I know applied to make a point. Trudeau hates Canadians.

  14. Ontario John….you spelled Moe wrong – its Mo-a!
    Just reverse the vowels and you get it right,

  15. The loyalty of free men is reserved for a government of equals, not an aristocracy of reptiles. The latter is what we suffer now. The former we once possessed, but it lies now in the dust of history. The outward form and function remain, but the spirit of liberty, which animated it, has gone. The ties by which free men bind themselves voluntarily to any form of government have long since been sundered by the actions of those who have chosen to rule rather than govern. I will not suffer those ties to become shackles.

  16. Dr Denna Hinshaw reminded Albertans that we all need to follow all covid protocols. Christmas and Kwanzaa are just a week away…..ok then

  17. Dementia Joe has picked an indian for Interior Secretary. Kiss pipelines and fracking goodbye America.

      1. Dr Modry is bang on. The politicians have overestimated COVID 19. They didn’t want Health care systems overwhelmed with dying patients so they shut down society and everyday activities. Their estimate was in fact incorrect. With false positives up to 90% they have turned this into a fiasco and now they are lying their way through it.

        These politicians need to be voted out pronto, tout de suite. Yeah we know the two drugs off the shelf are no good because they are not from big Pharma.

        Paul Hinman and the Doctor were careful with their words like philosophers, but Jason Kenney should take heed.

        Thanks — for the link, B.

  18. A little late but just wanted to note the “It’s Probably Nothing.” file is once again living up to its fullest potential.

    Not jazzed about the source, well, not jazzed about any of this.
    This is white hot burning stupid.
    None of this should be anywhere near the internet. Effing morons running the show. And yes, stupidity is worse than mendacity.
