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."

Of course it’s different, this one affects Ontario and Quebec.
XL is gone, but the western serfs will still be forced to pay their tribute. Line 5 goes and that actually might create some discomfort for the only people that matter.
As an Albertan I encourage the American’s to Obey Gaiia First and always. The water spirits are angry they do not like the line 5 pipeline it must stay closed.
Follow the science the First Immigrants and Turtle Island. The Tap Dancing Farting Dwarfs of Turtle Island are upset. They have spoken to the Elders of the First Immigrants and it must stay down.
For my own opinion. Fuck’em hard. Leave it completely shut down and never reopen it again.
Let it be a first step in giving the east a lesson in Net Zero. Let the farmers harness the bed wetters to their John Deere Tractors to plow their fields. Let their women learn to chew hides to soften them for moccasins without Alberta’s Black Magic Goo.
The CPC and 53% of eastern Canadians all support Net Zero and the Liberals and the Paris Accord and Carbon Taxes etc.
Fine Alberta needs to boycott line 5 and boycott all going west to BC as well.
A2A. Rail to Valdez. Straight from Fort Mac. Don’t even have to use dilbit, just front end loaders at a minimum.
I hope they fail. Eastern bastards need to be paying $2 a liter.
We’re getting there. It’s almost $1.30/liter now đ
To be fair though, the increase was due to the carbon tax.
Ontario and Quebec go fuck yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee thanks.
Your not welcome
I’m one of those outvoted Ontarians who gets pissed off every time Alberta gets bent over. If you don’t believe me go back and look at my previous posts. Take it for granted that if I am here I am on your side. I get crap from people who are against you. I don’t enjoy getting crap from the people I am supporting.
Come west. I’ll have a nice cold Sleemans waiting for you and some good Alberta beef on the grill. I can think of many I would like to send (ahem) east in exchange
CBC “The straits, which link Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, boast powerful, rapidly changing currents that experts have said make the area the worst possible place for an oil spill in the Great Lakes”
Lefties love their “experts”.
Experts like Greenpeace which got rid of anyone with a science background.
Hey easy now. Rosemary Barton is a renowned expert on Krispy Kreme Donuts. Shameless should watch out for her, because Rosie is pretty jealous that Trudeau always gets behind Shameless…..um, er has his back…..no…. supports him.
That pipeline will run below ground, through a solid rock tunnel, ffs! There are no “powerful, rapidly changing currents”, unless you’re passing another ore/grain carrier, close by. I’ve sailed all the Lakes in a (gasp!) oil tanker, ready to sink, catch fire, or explode on a moments notice according to these whack jobs. Well, we did shut down loading/unloading during thunderstorms. The real danger on the lakes are bottles of white lightning! Where do you think St Elmo’s Fire comes from?
I wonder if any of those “experts” realize that the line has been open since before they were born. With no accidents. I wonder how many of those “experts” also realize that the new line is even safer.
Some one tell Oh regan it’s KY jelly line, and he will make sure it succeeds!
I truly hope that Whitmer gives it to ’em good and hard
Getting a taste of their own medicine. love it.
(Mind you, I do sympathize with the sensible minority in central Canada.)
There are lots of good people in East of the Manitoba/Ontario border (even in Quebec!) but unfortunately, they are far outnumbered by a class of people that are so myopic and can only see “what’s in it for them”
A New Dominion would welcome people that believe in freedom, equality and respect. I propose a swap; we can send our worthless leaches east (Lord knows we have our fair share too) and people of good will can come West. I’ll take that trade
Well said. Time to shake hands and part ways. I wonât begrudge a people their desire to live under tyranny and socialism. By the same token I welcome anyone that wants to work together to build a free and prosperous country.
Can’t even see what’s in front of them; Trudeau keeps tripping over the chairs.
So, a bit of bad news about that. Toronto gets about 40% of its natural gas from Alberta. The rest comes from the US. It looks like Ottawa gets its natural gas from a pipeline that stays inside Canada so it won’t be affected. It looks like the people who will mostly be affected are those who voted Conservative last election.
The only good news is that Toronto gets it’s gasoline from Alberta oil. The bad news is that so do all those Alberta supporters in rural southern Ontario.
I wish the Premiere’s of Ontario, Manatoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta would get together and build pipelines using the notwithstanding clause.
I long for someone to use the not withstanding clause but that’s only for Quebec. Staying in Canada would be more palatable if Kenney would
Well if Canadians can sell bottled air in China I would expect the AOC’s of the world could be convinced to use Keystone XL to pipe in pine- scented wind power from Canada in the summer. Chinooks to heat during winter of course.

I want it shutdown just so I can see Whitmer hanged by her own electorate.
Then there are the people in Ohio and Pennsylvania who might want her hanged and drawn and quartered.
If Liberals in Canada were also blamed and then maybe whipped like vile hell beasts that would be okay.
It might start a very relevant trend.
Kenney should put a 100% carbon tax on any product entering Line 5 and Enbridge can pass it on to the end consumer.
Michigan is competing for dumbest governor on the country.
She’s playing the protection racket. “Nice pipeline you got here, it would be a pity if it shut down, you know, for environmental reasons. I’ve been thinking about my retirment and it requires a lot of financial stability”.
Now that it might bother Ontario and Quebec, it’s time for the big boy pants.
But no one is moved by the Liberals’ braggadocio.
#Bleedtheeast
Sooner we separate,the sooner we can profit from their madness.
Now it is time for a Safety Conscious Alberta Government to insist that Governor Witless must be taken seriously.
Respect Her Authority for she is the power of Michigan..
If She “feels” the pipeline is unsafe,why we must respect that.
And shut it down immediately,leaving it closed until Her Witlessness is convinced..
Safety First.
A comment that ignorant Eastern Canadians repeatedly make,is that “Alberta went all in on the Oil Sands”.”Bet everything on oil”.
Proving how little they know of Western Canada on a good day.
I am tired of being taxed by thieves to allow them to bribe idiots.
Can Ahh Duh left me,a long time ago.
Hunter Biden on the board and SNC Lavalin with the contract. Problem solved, oh yeah except for the economics.
It should have been replaced decades ago.
Ontario needs to experience the effects of relying on a single (US) market and transportation for it’s economic wellbeing. Maybe the Feds could approve an all Canadian pipeline through Northern Ontario and or rely on Oil by rail until approved and constructed.
Gretchen is awaiting a suitable bribe for her retirment.
Seamus shouId be carefuI what he promises. I suspect that GeraId Butts is taIking to the governor right now trying to teII her the best way to get the pipeIine shut down…….he does after aII, have a PIant in the Canadian Government.
And since the “pIant” has the same IQ as most FIora….he is easy to convince.
âWhatâs the hold up?â
Rhetorical question obviously.
I love irony.
Team sock monkey has bet the farm on out flanking the other grievance parties by going all in on the climate shakedown without consideration to what happens when it effects the folks in the MTV archipelago.
Now they are looking at being outflanked because if the pipeline gets shut down it effects mostly liberal held ridings economically and if they convince the governor of Michigan to recant they lose progressive points to the greens and the NDP.
The other niggling problem is Witless is staring down the same problem that in order to retain that progressive halo she has to destroy the livelihood of a great many people. People that would become one issue voters.
And yes, itâs just a political decision to team sock monkey because budgets will just balance themselves something something yadda yadda yadda. The hesitation is reflective of a nervous caucus that needs convincing prior to a predetermined decision.
Bullstink. Where do they get the jet fuel to fly to Tofino and surf? Or ski boat in Muskoka? The west supplies ALL the fuel, especially on the back haul. Propane, too. You can quibble on who supplies what east of Montreal. Sarnia shuts down, Tronna, Ottywah and a goodly chunk of Moan Real will learn to walk….everywhere. And think of winter.
I wouldn’t shed a tear. Forgeddaboudit on Equalization and stupid “carbon taxes”. Commie Tax.
Please see my earlier post. Those most wanting the shutdown are those who will be least affected by it. At least in regards to freezing in the dark.
I did.
They fly, drive, ship and fuel industry on diesel and jet fuel (slightly more refined diesel) and gasoline, more than natural gas. That’s just their water tanks and heating, not insignificant in itself. Outside the Southern Ontario area it’s propane, shipped all the way from the west. Personally, I don’t give a damn at this point. They want to go up to Muskoka, to the Kaybec side, Huron Shores, or out to Picton to sip wine, they drive or fuel their BBQ’s with propane. Cut the the fuel supply, Ontario shuts down. That simple. Sarnia is the last spike on refining in Ontario. All the smaller refining capacity has shut down over the years. I used to live in Port Credit and was involved in petroleum from the Maritimes to BC and points in between for 50 years.
What’s that saying? An army marches on it’s belly? Society runs on petroleum these days. Wind, solar and biomass won’t keep the wolves from the door….ever. Nuclear might, but that’s racisss.
“We support, full-throatedly and very actively, … ”
Now that’s a tailor-made show of support if I’ve ever seen one.
What a surprise. Ontario has politicians that will look out for at least basic interests.
All Saskatchewan and Alberta has, is people who know that no matter what they do or do not do, there are absolute fools who will vote and donate exclusively to them no matter what.
How is the “it’s all Bernier’s fault” business doing these days?
Canada must unify the country, get sh!t built and give fair representation to all regions or the west should leave. I’m going all in on supporting the Maverick party this next election. I hope line 5 is canceled and forces Canada to get moving on proper inter provincial cooperation. The status quo is a joke for westerners already.
I wish Alberta separated so we could charge both import and export duties on their lazy asses. These retards thought that every redneck sweeping a floor can have a 100k pay forever. Alberta is not Texas. It was carved out of federal land, we graciously got them started with trains and everything and all they can do is whine.
KMA! It was Hudson’s Bay Land before you Ontario Buoys got a cheap deal. The winds are westerly OB. I fart in your general direction. Every day.
A2A. WEXIT.
Hey troll! How’s life under the bridge. I didn’t know your internet was that good.
You slap tongs or lift slips, spin chain in the past, or spent a shift up “the stick” at -30 C and a wind for a 12 hour shift, you’d earn that pay believe me. You wouldn’t last an hour to drill up the stuff that drives industry and heats your home. Might put an eye out, or break a nail.
They don’t call them roughnecks for nothing.
I am with you PO’ed. Fed up with being Hosed in Alberta too.
Lets get on with Western Separation. As dear Uncle Ralph said – Let the Eastern Bastards freeze in the dark. We have kept them warm for too long without any appreciation.
I am praying that Gov Wit-less shuts down Line 5. Still lots of cold weather to come – do it now – while it still has significance!
I propose they harness and enslave unicorns and hitch them to oil wagons to haul said oil the long way around the lakes. The unicorn farts will protect the wagons from damage and explosions (sort of an inert gas, but a smelly one) and they can have fairies prancing ahead of the unicorn teams spreading fairy dust to bless the journey.
The above might solve the greenies angst, and it makes as much sense as anything else these days. Of course, we should consult Greta first.
As a Michigander living 50 miles south of the straits who has read Atlas Shrugged, Iâd (kinda) like Enbridge to roll over and say âOh… OKâ in May, shut down Line 5 (and plug the stretch under the straits with drilling mud), use force majeure to cancel their supply contracts, and watch the propane (home heating), jet fuel, etc. supply âchainsâ morph into overcooked spaghetti. If Enbridge fights back, itâs a good campaign issue for Whitmer – if they donât, it goes the other way…
My preference is cement. Make Michigan pay to drill it out. Talk about shooting one’s foot. Ohio and Michigan might have to go shopping for fuel and we out here kill two birds with one stone. The arrogant “Engine of Confederation” would stall out and Kaybec runs out of cash flow from Equalization. Bite me, Witmer, shut it down, a sort of “make my day” issue..
