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."

Holy hell, woman. When you send someone traffic, you send someone TRAFFIC.My hosting provider thought I was being DDoSed. - Sean McCormick
"The New York Times link to me yesterday [...] generated one-fifth of the traffic I normally get from a link from Small Dead Animals." - Kathy Shaidle
"You may be a nasty right winger, but you're not nasty all the time!" - Warren Kinsella
"Go back to collecting your welfare livelihood." - Michael E. Zilkowsky
Free speech is irrelevant. Truth is irrelevant. All that matters is the Ottawa gets their share of funding/airtime, and that (the appropriate Canadian voices, as approved by Ottawa) are favoured.
“It can always be perfected.” Just like us citizens. The government needs to perfect those who elect it. Because otherwise democracy (their version) cannot survive. Heavens forbid that the plebeians get a say!
Idiots are in control and Canadians have allowed this.
They are not just idiots, they are committed ideological criminals.
That is what it takes to be an ideological criminal.
The CRTC has never engaged in moderating content? Huh? Hasn’t he heard of those ridiculous Cancon requirements of 50 years ago (overseen by–wait for it!–the CRTC)? What about the banning of receiving satellite TV signals until Mulruin said it was OK to do so? Yup, that was another CRTC operation.
With all his sputtering and spouting waffle, I’m reminded of the saying “he who excuses himself, accuses himself”.
I also remember they had a committee to determine how hard different rock songs were to assess suitability for different stations to play.
The CRTC still regulates content in several ways: 1) it imposes Cdn. content requirements on Canadian programming services (e.g., CTV); 2) it requires Canadian broadcast distributors (e.g., Rogers) to carry Cdn. programming services; 3) it determines whether a program is Canadian through a scoring system which it created (a program can be classified as Canadian even if it is not about anything Canadian; 4) It decides how many radio stations can operate in every area; 5) it imposes Cdn. content requirements for every radio station; 6) it forces Cdn. broadcasters to be members of the Cdn. Broadcasting Standards Council, which in turn can force broadcasters to remove “offensive” programming. And there is likely more, but I have run out of steam.
Holy f*ck. Unbelievable.
This should be sent to every media outlet in the country daily.
The arrogance is stunning.
Almost as stunned as the media.

About an hour ago, I got a “Database Error” when I tried to refresh the main SDA page. I started wondering whether Stasi Steve’s gang were already at work.
Same here. weird.
All I can say is VPN. And may as well cancel Fakebook and Twatter since they don’t want us there.
I’m torn on that. It accepts the idea that “I need forged papers to carry on” instead of saying “eff you, I don’t need no stinking papers.” I see where you’re coming from, but it means that you’re accepting their premise. There are about 5 levels at which this can be argued. You’re choosing the second level. I’m choosing the first (and higher risk, I recognize).
Gagged With Your Own Dirty Socks Canada. If you are not ready to pick up your pitchfork. You deserve the chains waiting for you on the SLAVE SHIP CANADA.
“Canada’s rate of 22 percent of households owning firearms was in the middle range of the nine countries (Ibidem). In all nine countries, more households owned long guns than handguns. According to the survey, 95 percent of households in Canada owning firearms had a long gun and less than 12 percent owned handguns.”
The pitchfork people will be a nice complementary force.

Well, the guy didn’t make up this crap on his own, did he? Who else has their mitts all over this piece of “legislation” and how long has it been in the works, steaming in some back room?
Rhymes with Berhold Gutz and Taitmie Kelford.
But I digress
It’s like a conversation overheard in 1930’s Berlin
“He’s just a trying to fix things, he wouldn’t possibly do that, we live in a modern Germany”
Everybody repeat after me
Big smile
Big smile

fraggle rock misfit cabinet , when you fit in , because you dont fit in anywhere in society , stolen valour defense ministers , journalists and graphic artists . ski lift operators
Yes Kate, he is a terribly bad liar, and he got convicted.
Other Libranos are better liars.
Mr. Guilbealt looks like a slimeball. The posted vid shows that he sounds like one too. Surprised that the CBC is sticking up for ordinary Canadians’ right to free speech.
But the bill, even if it adds back protections to individual Canadians, would still leave small conservative media (like SDA) vulnerable. The CRTC would still have regulatory powers over organizations, no matter how small. The CRTC regulates TV news, and see how one-sided news broadcasting has become. Conservative media in Canada is tiny as it is. Slimeball Guilbeault wants to eliminate these small voices.
Hans Gruber. Look him up…
I also liked the Ellis character in Die Hard (played by Hart Hochner). He stole the few scenes he was in.
Tru dat. Recall what they did to Sun News, not much pushback.
Guilbeault: If a shit stain were a person.
Lets face it, we’re ruled over by psychopaths and this brain damaged fascist is yet another example.
If a communist State broadcaster is calling you out for going to far, maybe you’ve gone too far.
His arrogance when challenged is typical of our french speaking over lords. Ghastly little tyrant.
The only thing that we need to know about the proposed legislation is that no government in human history has ever voluntarily given up the power that the Libs are about to take on.
In the eyes of the left, Steven Guilbeault,’s conviction is a glorious testament to his environmental purity, instead of proof of his stupidity. The presence of a clown like Steven Guilbeault at the highest levels of government is just another expression of Canada’s debauchery.
How long can a nation dominated by an electorate of moronic children survive?
How long, not much longer.
Hope you’re right!
I want to know who the reporter is, and has been heard from since? Looks ripe for a visit from Turdhole’s political enforcement thugs in the RCMP.
Agree. I think it is David Common, one of the few heterosexual while males still on air at the corrupt corporation. If Katie Telford can’t get him fired for this, I’m sure there is a diversity jackboot lurking around at the Ceeb who will.
As we speak a certain staff member in the PMO is thumbing through her Rolodex and advising her contact at CBC to tell them about a rumour from “unnamed source “(tm) that David Common did some very bad thing in the past to a woman who wishes to remain nameless.
After having this conversation the staff member of the PMO will be getting in touch with other friends in the media to “advise” them how important it is this story be heard.
Over in the other corner another bespectacled weasely fellow is speaking with the PM going over some talking points about feminiths.
I give it a week for Mr Common to be reassigned or sent packing.
On another note.
There is nothing the sock monkey could do that would break the cognitive dissonance of his supporters. This rule however does not apply to his cabinet or caucus.
They love the sock monkey, no minister enjoys that level of immunity. If the base starts getting riled about this power grab Guilbault is on his way to the back bench or worse for screwing it up.
these are the top 10 countries in the world that censor the internet, a group that Canada will soon be joining
1 Eritria
2 North Korea
3 Turkmenistan
4 Saudi Arabia
5 China
6 Vietnam
7 Iran
8 Equatorial Guinea
9 Belarus
10 Cuba
Equatorial Guinea has an average IQ of 59 just like our Minister of Newspeak.
Why not!?
We are members of the small Elite group of countries that don’t allow their citizens to pay for their own medical care.
The only other 3 countries are:
1. China
2. North Korea
3. Cuba
Commies all.
Canada joined the list years ago. Who controls the media in Canada? Ottawa. By us allowing the CRTC to exist we accepted censorship years ago. This is the last piece of the puzzle. Harper the FakeCON had an a water tight ironclad majority and did nothing to end it, he could have chopped root and branch instead he stood and pissed himself in his wool suit. You have not been allowed to listen freely to worldwide media for 40 years.
It is now too late.
In a world where hate speech has been redefined as hurting someone’s feelings, especially if they’re an alphabet thingy, then you can be pretty sure the CRTC will be going on a hiring binge just to keep up with the demand by Canadians to shutdown or shut up their unruly fellow citizen.
Because lots of Canadians want this.
24-7 surveillance is the trade a large majority of Canadians will make with a smile. They want their government to “protect” them. This hairy French asshole knows it as all Liberals and NDP know it.
85% of Canadians are in favor of snitching on their neighbor’s kids for shooting hoops or talking too closely over the fence.
Taking a piss on the Little Drummer’s snare will be ok.
Taking a verbal piss on PM Shit-for-brains – showing him in blackface – will not.
I wonder if he shaves his back and the bottom of his feet?
I’m sure he frequently has to shave his palms, particularly after he passes by a mirror.
I love your guys optimism!
But really.
This is Canada.
Docile, submissive, apathetic, uninformed, misinformed Canada.
Your ancestors left the warmth of the USA to stay on bended knee in Canada.
Forever it appears.
They say one in seven East Germans reported for the Stasi.
I’m betting it will be six of seven Canadians.
And fuck Stephen Harper. Communist Conservative c*nt!
The first thing to go will tough and uncomfortable questions. How dare he embarrass a government minister and make him sputter like that!
I think at 28 secs. the minister calls the interviewer a bad word. Already unhappy with the questioning.
Adolf censored the committee reviewing the censorship law by shutting it down.
What else would one expect? Guilbeault was a founding member of Equiterre, the successor organization to Greeenpeace Quebec. The power to censor all Canadians via CRTC is a wet dream come true for all Greens across Canada.
“Guilbeault’s press secretary, Camille Gagné-Raynauld, said Bill C-10 is meant to target services that curate and commission music and video content and “professional series, films and music” — not posts made by individual Canadians.”
Raynauld is just as big a liar. It matters not in the slightest what something is meant to do; it only matters what it can do. In this case the bill permits powers of censoring all Canadians everywhere on the internet.
Also, the Heritage committee stripped out the exemption for user generated content from the bill anyway.
You know it is bad when Google is concerned about the limitations on free speech.
We live in a “what’s in it for me” society , Liberals know how to tap into it. They put out a front pony with a mop of hair and start throwing out the candy with gay abandon.
As for idiots it would be hard to single them out among the electorate and the elected.
I read down to “here is what you need to know” and stopped. I wonder if they realize or even care how insulting that particular phrase can be.
if the anglo and french women stopped voting for these commies they would go down in flames
First, they have to be convinced that Prinz Dummkopf isn’t like a heroic beefcake character shown on the cover of a Harelquin Romance paperback…..
How many brain transplants will that take?
Do you need further evidence?
This “Cabinet Minister” is as smart as a post,unable to disguise his blind lust for power.
Our eastern Comrades have given us”The Children’s Crusade” not once but twice.
So what does any self respecting Western Canadian have in common with people who can do this to themselves?
And our Progressive Comrades seem to be in rapture as their elected “leaders” strip away every facade of civil society.
Gang Green is a killer,no matter what form it manifests in,the Host usually dies.
Gang Green,or Buttzy Boy has controlled Central Canada for way too long.
Can Ahh Duh is dead,escape before the decomposition becomes fatal.
Anyone who still thinks the federal attacks on Western Oil and Gas ,is down to misguided policies or misunderstanding the market,had better get a cure for their own rectocranial disease.
Every action of these idiots is preplanned on their behalf.
Cause everyday it is made apparent that they are not capable of thinking,or even tying their own shoelaces..
This Minister of Good Think acts and sounds as if those velcro fasteners have him stumped.
Hey, I don’t see you brilliant Westerners doing a damn thing different, let alone better.
Well whining for sure.
And certainment, le champion all hat no cattle award yet again.
Are there any horses at all out west these days?
Or just ponies.
Lotsa geldings.
Lol.
I missed the easy one.
Canadians prefer sociopaths in government. Leftist zealots draped themselves in green thirty years ago and infested all institutions other than academia where they were nurtured from earlier generations of sociopaths. Sociopaths can appeal to the mindless mushy middle who empower politicians of all parties due to their preponderance for emotion, innumeracy, dependency, and the moral corruption of free stuff.
That’s one of the best Joe BiteMe impressions I’ve ever seen.
This guy is good. (sarc)
” — the only criminal I’m aware of who has ever been appointed to federal cabinet — ”
” – the only CONVICTED criminal I’m aware of who has ever been appointed to federal cabinet.” Fixed it for ya!
Non cancon is what Canadians want. Cancon is utter crap. Why the hell would they force us to pay more for content we don’t freaking want?
If there was any capacity to see logic in the Spawn’s mental workings, he would have trouble reconciling his “post national state” with his father’s CRTC mandate of what you just said.
James, “to pay more for content we don’t freaking want”, I think it’s an extension of the francophone language thing. Canada is ruled by the francophone community and they are french derivative, and therefore not AMERICAN! They will force us to accept that crap because they can…to preserve Canadian and therefore, francophone, content. After all, it is all about them, as we are well aware. What the rest of us euro rabble want or desire is irrelevant.
Best tweet yet – “Our Heritage Minister sounds like a coke head begging for a loan at Money Mart at 3 am”
But is he a criminal?
I checked —I know, I know — Wikipedia.
The only mention of charges was mischief after he scaled the CNN tower and draped a nasty gang-green banner.
Is mischief a criminal offence?
Not defending the lying, vertically challenged sleezeball.
Just wondering about Ezra’s claim.
Oops, never mind ….
Mischief is usually a charge laid following an act of vandalism. It is a severe criminal offence under the Canadian Criminal Code, leading to a criminal record, fines, probation, and sometimes jail time, if not defended successfully in court.
