    1. Sounds like the bag man thinks he getting short changed (aka the price of his silence just increased) or he thinks another co-conspirator is getting a bigger cut than they are.

      1. I posted the reply and waited for correction. So now I ask how can Trump do this with the USA is not under martial Law? Therefore one of two things can be true. One it is someone trying to make Trump look foolish for a further impeachment. Or some very far right group is trying to start a insurrection. Take your pick.

      1. BA

        I’m no holy roller…but this is PURE MARXIST NKVD bullshit.

        Liberal JUDGE of course….right..???

    1. I guess that explains Prinz Dummkopf being let off the hook for his many misdeeds, including blackfacing.

    1. Sorry but historically buying gold as a hedge against inflation is incorrect. Gold is a hedge against government. The best hedge against inflation for the average person is to buy and sell small, yet critical appliances or cars. The wealthy can purchase real estate but the working man cannot afford that.

    Medical Censorship & Harms of Lockdowns – An exclusive interview with 3 Canadian Frontline Doctors.

    ——————————————————————————————————————————–
    L – Dr. Kalvinder Kaur Gill is smart, does her research and while soft-spoken, has the
    heart of a lioness. She won’t back down. She, along with Dr. Lamba and Doctor Phillips
    have had enough of the unnecessary human suffering and deaths resulting from the
    Public Health lockdowns and policies. Medical science outweighs Marxist Medicine.
    The suppression of open, public debate based on Medical science is due to the
    intimidation of medical professionals across Canada. But that is beginning to fail.

    The clinicians, who actually deal with patients. Who are loyal to their oath of
    Primum Non Nocere (First Do No Harm). They’re the Medical heroes that Canada needs!

    1. Thanks for linking that again Larry.
      Wholeheart Media has several related vids on their site including this one that features a few doctors and Rocco Galati , a constitutional lawyer who is taking government of Canada to court over the Covid overreach. Clock is ticking folks, this is real serious stuff.

  2. ‘Bordering on mania’: 3 bearish takes on the clean energy boom

    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/clean-energy-stocks-bearish-164813905.html
    “‘Energiewende’ plan,(took) renewables from two per cent of all German electricity to nearly 40 per cent — by far the most aggressive renewable push in the world. Over the same period, carbon emissions per unit of energy fell by only 12 per cent. Not only is this reduction a far cry from the projected 50 per cent reduction in most energy transition plans, but it is also no better than those countries that did not adopt a renewable energy push.”

    ““As much as 25 to 60 per cent of the energy generated in a renewable system is consumed internally, compared with three per cent for a modern gas plant,” they wrote. “According to our models, wind and solar would mark the first time we have seen a widespread shift into a much less efficient source of energy conversion.””

        1. OttawaMJ – Are you suggesting that having a dad is a hallmark of white privilege?

        2. Ottawa mj…

          WTF are you babbling on about..?
          Read much.?? Stuff your woke BS BLM verbal diarrhea and bugger off.

          1. But, but, …PHP2 suggested that households with a live-in male (biological) fathers are better for male (biological ) kids than households without a male (biological) father. That is biased against black households. It is also biased against lesbian households. PHP2 must be cancelled!

  3. The government of the United States was supposed to be overthrown by insurrectionists yesterday, what happened?

    The media said security had to be increased, legislative votes cancelled, it was supposed to be a grave threat to the nation?

    Did they prevent it by keeping the howling guy with the funny hat and painted face in jail since he almost took over the government on 6 January? Can we all relax now?

    1. It won’t be long before our resident Q brain here at SDA will be informing us of another ‘Trust the Plan’ date to watch out for.

    2. Well, if this is a way to keep the US Congress out of DC or cowering about WE THE PEOPLE I see value in the LARP.

      We may need more LARPs running, people. At least 1/day for the next 4 years.

      [I’ve got the mount on my Hilux, it’s good for a recoilless, 20 or 50.]

    3. Well…there were 6 visitors …OWGs with red hats .
      They looked pretty intimating getting the selfie!,

  4. If your sad that black history month is over, Blackie’s CBC and the Toronto Star and Casino, both have great new Canadians are racist bastards stories.

  5. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/there-is-no-justification-for-supporting-the-ira

    Former Guardian journalist “now admits that he was supporting the IRA and writing for the group’s propaganda paper under a pseudonym.”

    “Roy Greenslade held a number of prominent positions in Fleet Street over the course of a long career. But he spent the largest part of it at the Guardian, where he berated other journalists for their writings. A similar stance was adopted by him from his position as professor of journalism at City, University of London, from where he LECTURED STUDENTS ON MEDIA ETHICS…”

    “The Guardian’s (former) editor, Alan Rusbridger, expressed outrage at the suggestion that his paper harboured IRA sympathisers. He condemned the then editor of this magazine, BORIS JOHNSON, and called for an apology. A subsequent Guardian leader column criticised any suggestion that Greenslade had sympathies for the IRA.”

    “But like all fanatics, Greenslade is a man of only partial intelligence, who ignores things if they do not accord with his own prejudices.”

    1. The IRA had a great strategy for success. We want Northern Ireland to join Ireland so we will kill them to convince them. And when they set off their bombs, the tool of cowards, they were more than likely to blow up a car full of nuns.

  6. Coming to a so-called democracy near you….

    “For the first time in its postwar history, Germany has placed its main opposition party under surveillance, one of the most dramatic steps yet by a Western democracy to protect itself from the onslaught of far-right forces that have upset politics from Europe to the United States.”

    “The decision by the domestic intelligence agency will now allow it to tap phones and other communications and monitor the movements of members of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which not only sits in the Federal Parliament but has become entrenched at all levels of politics in nearly every part of the nation.”

    “For Germany, the question of how to deal with the far right has particular urgency in an election year that will see Angela Merkel step down after 16 years as chancellor…”

    CAN’T HAVE THE INCORRECT PARTY WIN AN ELECTION NOW, CAN WE?

    “Another AfD lawmaker, Jürgen Braun, sounded a similar theme. “You know you’re living in Germany,” he wrote on Twitter, “when one and a half weeks ahead of two important state elections and a few months before the national election the domestic secret service declares the biggest opposition party to be suspicious,” he said.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/03/world/europe/germany-afd-surveillance-extremism.html

    1. “But elsewhere in the (German) political spectrum the decision met with widespread support…
      …Konstantin von Notz, a Green lawmaker and deputy president of the intelligence oversight committee in (Germany’s) parliament. “Our democracy defends itself!” “

    2. “Our democracy defends itself!” “

      Just like Canada’s budget, which balances itself!

  7. Today is Friday, and time for Great Leader to head for his winter palace at Harrington Lake. But first he will virtually attend with world leaders, the “She” conference. They will address the most important issue facing the planet this week, whiny women issues. And of course he will make his traditional Friday appearance for his loyal, drooling media to explain how wonderful he is, and that any problems are Harper’s fault.

  8. Well this is strange. Blacklock reports that the police have dropped an investigation into the millions of masks from China, that were stolen from a government warehouse in Hamilton Ont. I’m sure it has nothing to do with being a cover up, so as not to embarrass Blackie before he calls an election.

  9. That is so diverse! Wife of Saudi dissident is going to run for the Bloc. Welcome to the new Canada, where muslims from Saudi Arabia can run for a party that wants to break up Canada.

      1. They never will break away, they’ll hang on like leeches, slurping from the trough called “Equalization”.

    1. That is outrageous – paying overtime to a public sector executive with a base salary over $300,000 a year. Executives in the private sector who make that kind of base salary work a heck of a lot of overtime, and none of it is paid for.

    2. Absurd. The guy’s work is recognized. That’s what the $300,000 a year is for. Really appalling.

  10. The mainstream media gave scant attention to a violent attack two days ago in a small town in Sweden where seven people were stabbed over a period of 15 minutes. The few reports that did surface said that police were searching for a motive.

    It has now come to light, but is being even less reported on than the original story, that the assailant is a 22-year-old male originally from Afghanistan. Police are still searching for a motive, but have decided not to investigate it as a terrorism case.

    So there you have it. There is not another Islamic terrorist attack in Sweden because the police have decided, before the investigation, that they won’t even consider it a terrorist attack. Don’t want to upset the Swedish citizenry and have them question the country’s lax immigration system.

  11. Under the G&M paywall, but more PMO-Justin-Trudeau sleaze:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-pmo-scrambled-to-contain-controversy-over-pandemic-early-warning/

    “Internal e-mails show the Prime Minister’s Office was scrambling last summer to contain the fallout over the silencing of Canada’s pandemic early-warning system after learning it was curtailed less than a year before COVID-19 struck.

    The e-mails, which provide a rare look at exchanges between the Prime Minister’s top political aides, show the upper levels of government were caught off guard when details about the silencing of the Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN) were made public by a Globe and Mail investigation.

    The internationally respected system was created to detect and monitor international health threats to help Canada and other countries respond faster and more effectively to a deadly outbreak. However, The Globe found that the operation’s alert system was silenced in early 2019 amid shifting government priorities.

    During an exchange of early-morning e-mails on Aug. 13, advisers to the Prime Minister can be seen trying to figure out what went wrong with GPHIN, and whether the blame for its mishandling could be contained to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), and decision makers within that department, without political ramifications for the government.

    “Can you confirm all the decision are internal to PHAC?” Samantha Khalil, the PMO’s deputy director of issues management, said to a colleague in an e-mail at 8:33 a.m. “I’ve got a hard deadline of 8:45 now to update my senior team.”

    That morning, The Globe reported the pandemic alert system was suddenly restarted about two weeks after it published its investigation that showed GPHIN had gone silent in 2019. The shutdown of the alert system, and its reinstatement, appear to have blindsided the government.

    At 7:15 a.m., the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, sent an e-mail to PMO staff with the article attached, saying, “Front page of globe. How will we respond to this?” The replies to that e-mail paint a picture of the Prime Minister’s Office trying to find answers, and concerned with whether the blame will spread beyond the Public Health Agency.

    Responding to Ms. Telford’s e-mail at 8:03 a.m., PMO senior adviser Ben Chin told colleagues: “The thing I’d like to understand better is whether all decisions on this are internal to PHAC. I understand there was no funding reduction.”

    In another e-mail, Ms. Khalil asks a colleague: “Can you send me any background there is on why this was stopped and restarted? As well as your messaging on it.”

    At 8:53 that morning, Cole Davidson, press secretary to the Minister of Health, responds to Ms. Khalil, “We’re working on getting specifics and answers to some questions. … When did this change happen? Why did this change happen? Who made the decision?”

    End of relevant part of G&M article. Needless to say, the media broadcast cartel will censor this story.

    1. Health hazards. Man made events like war or violent rioting is a threat. Nature caused events i.e. diseases or earthquakes are hazards.
      Nice journalism…

  12. More PMO-Justin-Trudeau sleaze:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-pmo-senior-adviser-alerted-sajjan-was-troubled-about-information-on/

    “Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan’s top staffer told a senior adviser inside the Prime Minister’s Office three years ago that the minister was troubled by information about former chief of defence staff Jonathan Vance, shortly after the minister met with a military watchdog.

    Mr. Sajjan’s then-chief of staff, Zita Astravas, spoke to Elder Marques, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, about concerns related to the country’s top military adviser, two sources told The Globe and Mail.

    The Globe is keeping the sources confidential because they are not allowed to discuss internal matters involving the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office, the federal body that runs the public service.

    Two weeks ago, Mr. Sajjan told the House of Commons national defence committee that he was shocked to learn about allegations of sexual misconduct against the now-retired general when it was first reported last month. The PMO has previously said that Mr. Trudeau learned details of allegations faced by Mr. Vance through media reports.

    The Canadian Armed Forces have been shaken recently by two military police investigations into such allegations involving both Mr. Vance and Admiral Art McDonald, who initially replaced the former defence chief.

    After Ms. Astravas discussed the situation with Mr. Marques in early March, 2018, he then requested guidance from the Privy Council Office to ensure that there was a process and that appropriate steps were taken, one source said. Ms. Astravas did not convey a specific allegation about the now-retired general, the source added.

    Later that month, the PCO’s Janine Sherman met with then-military ombudsman Gary Walbourne, but she was not provided with evidence on the allegation involving Mr. Vance, the source said.

    On Wednesday, during testimony before the national defence committee, Mr. Walbourne said he was “completely floored” when the PCO asked him about the details of the allegation because he had told Mr. Sajjan he did not have the complainant’s permission to investigate and it was to be held in confidence.

    Mr. Sajjan went on to sign Mr. Vance’s performance review in the spring of that year, the source said, adding that to their knowledge there was no reference to any allegations of misconduct.

    The PMO issued a statement on Thursday evening stating all allegations are taken seriously and reported to appropriate authorities”.

    Again, our broadcast media are not reporting any of this.

    1. Let’s see if any of our “brave, honest, and unbiased” journalists ask about this at today’s Trudeau love-fest, err… press conference.

      This morning, the Liberals have leaked that they will be approving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. My guess is that was done to distract the easily distractable Canadian press corps. Lo and behold, nothing but breathless vaccine approval stories on the TV right now (10:15 Friday AM EST). We’re saved! We’re saved! God bless Justin!

      1. What the bought and paid for corrupt media won’t explain, is how are we supposed to get the vaccine when Biden has banned exports of vaccines.

        1. On second thought, it looks like the Bishops are splitting hairs. Regardless, some of those vaccine ingredients do make a person pause.

  13. To him its NOT stupid…He is one of likely THOUSANDS of politico’s in this disgusting country who has been BOUGHT….via a truck load of YEN.
    Every slack jawed Mayor, Premier, PM, MP’s by the dozens and likely many councillors and MLA’s as well.

    The std Quebec corruption virus has overwhelmed Canada….its becoming all too obvious.

  14. Blackie was late as usual for his traditional Friday election rant. His loyal CBC filled in the time by constantly explaining how wonderful he is. Great Leader finally came on and gave a wonderful talk on what a wonderful job he is doing. He also explained that he is solving global warming by buying electric buses from Quebec.

    1. Just great. She will get more profile and the experimental vaccination pushers will have to defend their reasoning — which is not at all obvious.

  15. Judge rules that the Christian pastor in Alberta, must remain in jail until his trial. Meanwhile members of gangs in diverse Toronto get bail within a couple of hours for shooting offences.

  16. It is hard to believe, but President Bai Den might actually do something to rein in Big Tech:

    “Timothy Wu, a Columbia University law professor and outspoken advocate for aggressive antitrust enforcement against U.S. technology giants, is joining the White House an adviser, signalling that the Biden administration is preparing to square off against the industry’s biggest companies.”

    https://financialpost.com/technology/biden-sets-stage-for-big-tech-crackdown-with-appointment-of-timothy-wu-as-white-house-adviser

    Or, like so many of the “initiatives” of the leftists, it will most likely turn out to be solely about appearances and not substance.

  17. How Quebec plays the equalization game.

    The Equalization fiscal capacity calculation assumes Alberta has a provincial sales tax.

    The Equalization fiscal capacity calculation uses Quebec’s limited revenue from it’s artificially low electricity prices, rather than what government revenue it would be collecting if electricity prices were the Canadian average.

    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-it-could-be-politically-perilous-to-tweak-the-equalization-formula-to/

    Net result? More dollars to Quebec.

    1. Those who have negative after-effects are clearly disloyal to scientism. Those who are devoted to whatever blap the government does or says will be OK.

      1. There will be lawsuits. The other side will soldier on, as the end justifies the means.

  18. Movie alert:

    Tonight, Turner Classic Movie will, apparently, show the first two Robocop movies. (Yippee!) Tomorrow night, Noir Alley‘s selection is Killer’s Kiss, an early Stanley Kubrick flick.

      1. Thanks for the tip but, unfortunately, I’m going back to Chez BADR on the weekend. (O joy! O rapture!)
