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."

What’s even worse, watcher , is that Fauci funded the Wuhan lab work and, it appears, Canada’s bio-lab in Winnipeg trained them.
I think some questions need to be asked (and not with a Comfy Cushion)..
I agree. CSIS stated that none of the CCP at the Winnipeg High Security Lab had been vetted by Canadian Security. Yet an ordinary Canadian could never just walk in there. They were working on gain of function with coronavirus specimen’s. Did Canada and the Canadian Taxpayer actually fund CCP Bio Weapon research? Are we still funding Chinese CCP Bio Weapon Programs?
Why are none of these people on trial?
Robert, How about a Whoopee cushion?
I’d be pleasantly surprised if Fauci is ever convicted of his crimes. I’m not holding my breath.
North American politicians and media and medical people apparently are killing people to allow Big Pharma to make $ or is that just a nice anti-Trump byproduct?
It will be very entertaining to watch all the Courts dismiss the many many lawsuits to come.
But they surely will.
When the tides go out, the fakeness is so hard to hide.
Fake courts, fake laws, fake country.
Here’s a nice little story (via zerohedge)
https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/The-Drug-that-Cracked-Covid-by-Michael-Capuzzo.pdf
Not just that it says invermectin works (as does HCQ probably) but it also covers the global propaganda effort against it.
Fortunately, some countries are smarter and the truth will get out, this time, it appears. But the GOOLAG is dtill learning.
How many people have fanatical anti-Trump Democrat/Liberal/Leftists and The Mainstream Media killed with their Trump Derangement?
Class actions now.
Sue them into penury.

The Irish parliament has unanimously passed a motion offered by Sinn Féin (the front of the Provisional IRA) to condemn Israel’s right to self-defence against Hamas, with whose cause the IRA have openly sympathized for decades.
State media reports:
https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2021/0526/1224126-politics-dail-motion/
Not coincidentally, Ulster’s Protestant population, perhaps the most friendless people in Europe barring the Jews, have increasingly sympathized with Zionism.
https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/ulster-israel-dup-ally/
Note that all parties in “Dáil Éireann” have as a long-term goal the annexation of Northern Ireland and the cleansing of its Protestant population.
Ireland has never had a significant Jewish population. This saved the IRA the trouble of murdering Ireland’s Jews along with its Protestants.
That slope is getting more slippery every day………

“Those who have battled for years against the Bountiful polygamous community in the Creston Valley are probably horrified — the B.C. Supreme Court has recognized a threesome as “parents.”
“Justice Sandra Wilkinson approved adding a third adult to a toddler’s birth certificate saying the Family Law Act needs to recognize polyamorous families.”
Nothing surprises me about that part of B. C. There always seems to be something loopy going on there.
“That part of BC” being the supreme court? 🙂
I actually meant that geographical area, but I take your point about the court.
The Bountiful bullshit was nothing but prejudice against Christians. Tens of thousands of Muslim families are polygamous and no-one gives a flying froot-loop.

Merck – the maker of Ivermectin – says theres no evidence it works for covid19
Merck, what about Merck? Thousands of doctors have cured hundreds of thousands of patients with ivermectin, get your head out spawn of un me.
Show me the evidence. Better yet, send it to Merck.
Allan, you are as dumb as a bag of rocks and less useful.
Allan – Merck has a patent on a new drug. There is no patent protection and hence no profit on Ivermectin.
Dr Yo discusses “Is New COVID 19 Drug Molnupiravir Better than Ivermectin?”
Merck developed both but guess which one still has patent protection.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uEhsoUzNVO4
Dexamethasone does not either, but it is SOC for covid. There goes the narrative.
Oh now he trusts the makers. How cute. But makers claiming that second doze of vaccine should come in under a month are wrong because are those the Librano marching orders du jeur.

The Canadian Center for Vaccinology is at Dalhousie U. They can’t pay people to become guinea pigs, but they can give them a gift. I think they’ll find volunteers right after they find someone who doesn’t work for the government and doesn’t go on pogey every year.
I have two questions this morning. Why is Blackie spending borrowed money to put a rover on the moon? And is this an expensive election gimmick? Speaking of election gimmicks, Blackie will be apologizing to Italian Canadians today.
But the Canadian Rover will only take 75 years to be designed by SNC-Lavalin and built by Saputo Cheese in French and English.
Just like the never ending Canadian Military contracts. Nothing can ever be bought of the shelf.
The whole procurement program is designed to ensure an endless source of graft and corruption.
Even the rifle they bought for the Farce Inuit Ranger Program took years and years to redesign the same weapon used all over the north everyday. It is a nice looking rifle. But Why did they not just buy the standard issued to Finland’s Military. Or the US Military.
Justin’s going to set up windmills on the moon to provide the electricity for the rover.
They paid $5,000 per copy for a bolt action Sako rifle that you could buy retail for $1,000 when I checked a few years ago. I’m betting if Walmart ordered 5,000 of them they would be a lot cheaper than that.
We pay 5 to 10 times what guns are worth to keep the old Cooey firearms plant open. Colt is the current owner. Why not just buy AR varieties from the US and Sakos from Finland?
Maybe it wasn’t the Cooey plant. Colt is now owned by CZ so we can pay 10 times too much to the Czechs to make guns in Canada.
The double dipping bought and paid for media, don’t seem interested in the story at Blacklock that Liberals are trying to stop a parliament committee looking into why Justin’s half brother got lucrative federal contracts.
Here ya go…

I liked the song “Chain Gang” (1960) by Sam Cooke.
The most wonderful birthday gift I ever got was the chance to sing “Chain Gang” on stage with the legendary a cappella group, the Persuasions. They played the Horseshoe on Queen Street in Toronto on my 27th birthday, and one of my kind friends took me there, and then sat us where I was most accessible when Jerry, the lead singer, pulled somebody out of the audience to do the grunting on “Chain Gang”. I was up to it, if I say so myself. I certainly savoured every “Oohh! Aahh!”. When we were done, I took a bow and got an enthusiastic ovation, and Jerry grimaced and made a show of being miffed at me stealing his thunder.
I felt at the time that he was just having fun. The group took a long break, during which it seemed Jerry had knocked back several drinks and perhaps picked a fight, and in the second set he was in an ugly mood. He got genuinely miffed a couple of times and you could see the difference. No fun at all. He was a troubled fellow, I gather he died recently. But he had God’s gift of song, and when we met to face, he was good to me.
And I will always associate that experience with that song.
Here is Merck’s statement:
“February 4, 2021 11:45 am ET
KENILWORTH, N.J., Feb. 4, 2021 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified:
No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;
No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;
A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.
We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.”
Seems to me that if a drug company were to be active in the business of making a drug 5hat could help, there would be a whole lot of clinical trials going on. This statement sounds like they aren’t even really trying.
Is this maybe why Merck pulled out of the “vaccine ” game?
Maybe they knew something about conflict of interest? Legal issues?
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/25/health/merck-covid-19-vaccine-stop/index.html
Or maybe it just doesnt work?
You really aren’t looking very hard, now are you? You an MSM reporter for CBC or Global or CTV?

Allan you are a special kind of stupid aren’t you? You have the liberal media pissing on you every day telling you it’s raining, and you believe them.
Blackie is having the Royal Canadian Mint join the fight against colonialism. Blacklock reports that a coin with Banting the discoverer of insulin on it, will be replaced with an indian who discovered gold in the Yukon.
I’m finding much of the companies like the Royal Canadian Mint, get the products from China and packaging to look minted in Canada. The quality is absolutely outstanding. Keeps the profits high while pushing lower prices in the gold plated products.
Some really good products in this line is really remarkable in it’s quality.
The Royal Canadian Mint is a public company and its shares are traded on the TSX.
The Royal Canadian Mint is a crown corporation.
Sherritt Inc. is publicly-traded. It refines nickel and manufactures coin blanks at its Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta facility and supplies these to the Mint’s Winnipeg plant.
The trading symbol for Royal Canadian Mint CDN Gold Reserves is MNT.
Banting and Best were colonialists because they conducted experiments with insulin and, thereby, saved millions of lives around the world, including that of my late father?
Further proof that Dear Leader is an idiot.
And lots of First Nations people as well.
No doubt Dear Leader is an idiot, problem is he has the adoration and support needed to hold on to power.
That can only mean we are a nation of idiots.
How about a coin with an Indian finding gold on Parliament Hill which would be more relevant? Because that mining operation continues unabated today…
CC that is the best comment of the day. Now who was the world record holder for becoming wealthy through political pork barreling and corruption in Canadian History?
I submit that Slack Jawed Drooling Idiot Jean Chretien.
He came to Ottawa a small town lawyer from Quebec, an left a Puffed Up Pompous Ass, and a Multi Millionaire all made honestly on an MP and PM salary.
Sounds like an American style politician that works 30 years for a tiny wage and ends up owning several huge homes with $100 million in the bank. Like all those grey haired senile old Democrat senators.
Let’s retrain…our high paid workers into lower paid workers.
https://www.howestreet.com/2021/05/where-is-canadas-just-transition/
My take. Only the secondary schools and bankers will win in this ‘Transition’.
Apparently the US border will re-open on June 22nd. Finally Canadians can simply fly into and out of the US to avoid the $3000 covid gulag.
What’s the over/under on whether Justin Trudeau cries during today’s “apology” to Italian Fascists?
An apology is taylor made for the Bong. Drama emotion, tears – it’s got it all. He will have to be assisted off stage, shaken, overcome by the moment.
His thespian skills will be on display. All fake

Blackie’s CBC is excited that Adolf and Justin O’Toole both gave great speeches apologizing to Italian Canadians this morning. Now we just have to await a date for when Justin will apologize to Germany for entering World War Two. All of this has nothing to do with the election of course.
I guess we are going to apologize to Germany for interfering with their invasion of Poland and Japan for interfering with their invasion of Hong Kong. We really are awful people.
You know, Prinz Dummkopf hasn’t apologized to his favourite country for the Canadian troops who fought against the Chinese at the Battle of Kapyong during the Korean War, has he?

“Whatever gains the CPPIB might have hoped to achieve from the switch to active management – picking individual stocks and other investments, rather than buying the market as a whole – have been almost entirely wiped out by the massive increase in costs it has incurred in the attempt: from less than $4-million in 2000, the year the CPP first started investing in the markets, to more than $4.4-billion last year.
At the outset, the fund had just five employees; today, it has close to 2,000. Its first chief executive officer, John MacNaughton, earned a little more than $600,000 in salary, bonuses and benefits in his first full year; today, the average compensation for its top five executives is in excess of $3.5 million.”
Poor, poor Andy.
However does he keep his illusions alive?
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-runaway-costs-ill-defined-risks-and-mediocre-returns-of-the-cpps/
Zol – It’s a disaster. Since I have taken my CPP early, I have had to continue to contribute. Being self employed I remit twice the employed workers rate. It takes nearly 20 years to recoup my contribution on the monthly increase in benefits. So how can they claim they are adding any value let alone the claimed 8 % return?

“Facebook Gives American Journalists Permission to Write About COVID Originating From Wuhan Lab”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/05/26/facebook-gives-american-journalists-permission-to-write-about-covid-originating-from-wuhan-lab/
– Facebook will no longer take down posts claiming that Covid-19 was man-made or manufactured, a company spokesperson told POLITICO on Wednesday, a move that acknowledges the renewed debate about the virus’ origins.
A narrative in flux: Facebook’s policy tweak arrives as support surges in Washington for a fuller investigation into the origins of Covid-19 after the Wall Street Journal reported that three scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized in late 2019 with symptoms consistent with the virus.
The findings have reinvigorated the debate about the so-called Wuhan lab-leak theory, once dismissed as a fringe conspiracy theory. (read more)”

Get ahead of the crowd.
Sue China.
Pretty obvious that the CCP controls most of the Western media. Especially CNN, Chinese Cable News and the CBC or Chinese Broadcasting Corpse in Canada.
Getting pretty dang obvious why you need to disconnect from them all. Might add, that all Chinese students in Canadian Universities need to be screened by CSIS before being allowed as students in any Science Programs etc.

Kenji – it is always so entertaining when people misuse terms in order to appear more knowledgeable on a topic which they are illiterate. I give you “balloon framing ” being held out as a standard construction. While the scope of destinations is limited ( if you do high quality work you don’t have to go far from home) in 51 years I have balloon framed one building. It hasn’t been the standard since the early 19 hundreds. Obviously , production of relatively usable inexpensive housing should be discouraged. Seems like we are curing that with 10 dollar 2 x 4 studs (not all are the same) 100 dollar sheathing and 200 thousand dollar postage size lots. It is not to say there is not room for improvement. It appears to me the program is to drive the costs so high that purchasing a home will be a multi generational task that enslaves you and your descendants to pay forever on something you will never really own.
Indeed. The term they were searching for is: Western Platform Framing. But I guess that didn’t sound as derisive and gaseous as … “balloon framing”. And these are supposed design professionals. I recommend they NOT attempt balloon framing which requires a single 2x to extend two stories in height. The quality (lack thereof) of the $25.00 2x4x18ft stud … wouldn’t support shit! Nor would a 2×6.
BTW … went to the Home Depot yesterday for an emergency run of lumber, and bought 10 – 2x4x8ft sticks, and 8 – 2x10x8ft. Cost? $264.00. Studs were a “bargain” $7.98/ea. The current materials costs on my whole house remodel is more than DOUBLE my original estimate… and that’s EVERYTHING! ALL materials. And it has gotten steadily WORSE through this past year.
My sales Price has gone up … substantially. And if I can’t get it, because Jao Xiden-Heiress has crashed our economy … I’ll be fkcuing STUCK in CA.

The bought and paid for double dipping TV networks are currently covering Blackie’s big announcement. With great props behind him and his sleeves rolled up, he announced 5000 dollar grants for homeowners to make their homes more green. And of course he explained that Harper is Hitler. Nothing to do with the election of course.
Most of those black Cherokees and the other 4 civilized tribes are Indians by way of being slaves to the Indians. They were given Indian status when freed.
Slavery was common practice in all Indian Tribes in North America. They were as guilty as all other races globally. Of course that is not taught in schools. It is 24/7/365 that Injuns and Wagon Burners are the only victims.
Necklacing has returned to South Africa. You will never see this in the msm. After all the Communist ANC rules in South Africa and they are BLACK. Wakanda.

That’s simply inhuman. These “people” are wild animals. Missing links who never fully evolved. Sorry. That’s the way I see it.
But “necklacing” in the headline doesn’t sound as brutal as “lynching” in the American dialogue … so most just pass by the headline. Oh! They received a pretty “necklace”. How nice.
Post Millennial reports that a top advisor to Blackie, refuses to answer whether China is committing genocide. Yet Blackie has no problem ranting that Canadians committed genocide.

Pro Sports and Marxism don’t mix well. Even IF they’re all taking a knee against our “racist” country. Go ahead … follow my beloved, boyhood, Oakland Raiders to Sin City.
Isn’t Las Vegas the city where sports teams go to die? Remember the Las Vegas Posse of the Canadian Football League?
You don’t? You’re not alone, then. The team came and went within a year. Then again, the CFL’s expansion into the U. S. more than 2 decades ago was a barmy idea to begin with.
The Raiders and A’s will have a little more staying power … so long as the pro leagues don’t fold because of their woke racism
Posse were a minor-league team, in a bush league (I love the CFL, but it IS a shoe-string operation), in an old dilapidated Sam Boyd Stadium.
The Golden Knights are owned by a rich group of real estate billionaires with a state-of-the-art arena on the Vegas strip.
The Raiders are a historic franchise in the world’s second richest professional sports league (English Premier League soccer is number one.)
These last two entities will be spinning out gobs of cash for decades (unless the woke-sters get to them)
We are all in this together. The federal NDP leader had to apologize for breaking China virus rules. And now if he would just apologize for kissing Justin’s ass all the time.
Why is Justin apologizing to Italian-Canadians when this is what actually happened in 1940 (you won’t hear the facts anywhere else in the mainstream media)?
“That scholarly anthology, published by the University of Toronto Press, was titled “Enemies Within: Italian and Other Internees in Canada and Abroad.” The editors of the book — Roberto Perin, Franca Iacovetta and Angelo Principe — were all Italian-Canadian themselves (as were most of the contributors). But they didn’t let their natural ethnic sympathies interfere with their pursuit of truth.
What they found was that the 500 people, singled out from 112,000 Italian-Canadians by the government in 1940, were scarcely the victims of racial hysteria. They were, in fact, a hardcore fraction of 3,000 or so literal card-carrying Fascists in Canada. They hadn’t been thrown into camps willy-nilly, as Canada’s Japanese would be later; most had Fascist ties and sympathies that had been carefully investigated, abundantly documented and double-checked by the RCMP.”
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/colby-cosh-justin-trudeau-shouldnt-apologize-for-rounding-up-actual-fascists
My German relatives had nothing happen to them. A whole whack joined the army. There weren’t Nazis or anything close. I imagine very few were. They all came here to get away from the political shit. Interning had everything to do with politics and nothing to do with race, except for the Japanese where it had everything to do with race. Only Japanese in BC were interned.
And now your ain’t Islam wonderful story for today. Daily Mail website reports that a female journalist mother of two in Iran, has been sentenced to 80 lashes for saying something negative about capital punishment in that country.
Not all of the plans for the Avro Arrow were destroyed:

Once in a while, one hears of some Arrow artifact turning up somewhere. For example, there’s at least one working Iroquois engine in existence.
I volunteer to destroy every last vestige of the Avro Arrow. It has been fetished, and mythologized beyond all recognition. It deserves to go the landfill along with other highly-overrated Canadian shibboleths like “Medicare,” “David Suzuki,” “The Bare-Naked Ladies,” and the “Toronto Maple Leafs.”
