      1. Great pics, Nancy. Hubby and I are still laughing about the video you posted last week. The maple bacon tease. It never gets old!

        1. Yes, that maple bacon tease video is a hoot!

          We need some happy diversion occasionally with all that’s happening in the World today. B A pointed out yesterday in Reader Tips that it was International Dog Day. It was more of a Dog Day afternoon.

    1. VPN. Proton has a free version to use, and, you can then view US YT and US tv online from a US VPN server, very handy

    1. I say we crowdfund a plane ticket for her to meet her brothers. The deal maker is that her brothers will use her head for rock-target throwing practise.

  1. While on my daily walk yesterday, I finally came across a bunch of shiny new signs for the Conservative candidate seeking to get elected in my riding. I rushed home to find out more information on her so that I could throw my full support her way. Imagine my disappointment to discover that O’Toole has been raiding the bullpen of the NDP to field a candidate. Oh dear.

    1. David,

      Maybe you should cut out the middleman and vote directly for the NDP Candidate?

      Almost forgot!

  2. I could not access your link, so tried youtube

    Three of my Alberta great uncles joined the NWMP force. They all were born and grew up on mixed farms in Eastern Ontario, but headed west as young men, one in 1874 and others a bit later. All of them were near Fort Mcleod, AB at some point and some applied and got land grants. They found their brides back home or among pioneer immigrant families, like mine.

    Although the sugar-coated documentaries paint them as consummate Canadian heroes, they may have needed, and got help, from the first nation folks or metis upon arrival. They did bring stuff to trade, I imagine. I read a Metis site, who rather scoffed at how they were doing initially.

    1. “I read a Metis site, who rather scoffed at how they were doing initially.”

      You might want to take Metis versions of history with a grain of salt, A dozen years after the Mounties came west the Metis were handed their asses by the said Mounties. Metis power ceased to exist except in the lies they told their grandchildren.

    1. It appears that Calgary is as progressive as Redmonton. It was about 58% in favour.

    2. It looks like either sane rational people have stopped watching CTV, or Alberta is not the place that Albertans think it is.

    3. Now at 59% in favour of kissing the Chief’s ass while he shows off his new 1-ton 4X4.

      I haven’t watched CTV news for a few years now.

  3. US Supreme Court slaps Joe Biden upside the head!

    U.S. Supreme Court ends CDC’s pandemic residential eviction moratorium
    The justices, who in June had left in place a prior ban that expired at the end of July, granted a request by the challengers to lift the moratorium by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that was to have run until Oct. 3.

    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-supreme-court-ends-federal-residential-eviction-moratorium-2021-08-27/

    John Roberts has decided that his court being mocked by Joe Biden during the announcement of the moratorium was a step too far. Hopefully AJ Kavanaugh will write his opinion better next time. How about next time GRANTING the injunction on June 28th, but allowing until August 1 for the injunction to take effect.

  4. Biden to ISIS…. We will hunt you down and make you pay!

    ISIS to Biden…. You and whose army?

    “From what I can tell, from this evening in Afghanistan, August 27th, only Flag of United States U.S. and Flag of United Kingdom British servicemen and women will remain at Kabul Airport. Nearly every other country has said its operations from the airport have ended, or will by no later than tonight.”

    Every Country has cut and run from Afghanistan. I bet most of them planned to leave today, August 27, even before the terrorist attack. That was the reason the Canadian Guards were withdrawn from where they were guarding the Gate area where the suicide bombing occurred. The Canadians were pulling out, and stopped there patrols. But it looks very weak.

    It looks like ISIS was able to drive the Western Nations out. Long term, that will embolden ISIS and all the Islamic Terrorists. This is a disaster that did not have to happen. President Joe Biden and the Pentagon have set the previously quiet War on Islamic Terrorism back to pre-9/11 state. Where Islam appeared to be ascendant.

    The British and Americans still have to get out. I don’t think we are going to get ANY more American or Foreign Nationals, and no more Afghanistani allies either.

    My biggest fear is what happens to the rear guard? How many of those not will make it out? How do we get them on the planes safely, and do not have the planes mobbed by refugees?

  6. Remember how we were bitching about the August 31 being to soon? I bet we are out by Sunday August 29, Aghanistan time.

    The remaining Americans and Foreign Nationals?
    Our Afghan Allies?

    Pray for their souls.

  7. A lawsuit in the International Criminal Courts has a 27 page filing against this mass vaccination program.

    Government’s across the world and their advisors are complicit in genocide, crimes against humanity and breaches of the Nuremberg Code.
    I hope this Court has some bite and Trudeau could find himself in jail.

  8. Quebec’s Vaccine Passport has already been hacked. The Premier’s personal vaccination records have been hacked.
    What else could possibly go wrong?

  9. Is Catherine McKenna (climate Barbie) campaigning for the libranos in her Ottawa riding?

    I haven’t heard anything from the media now that she’s not seeking re-election.

    Anybody heard anything?

    1. She is not seeking re-election. She couldn’t stand being called stupid (amongst other things). That doesn’t, however, mean that the stupid will end.

        1. Who knows? I know the following link still yields unanswered questions but maybe she is working behind the scenes to earn Brownie points for the trip to Scotland she was promised before the writ was dropped.

          From the article linked below:
          “Over the summer, McKenna said she will think about how she can contribute to the climate fight as a mom and as a private citizen.

          McKenna plans to continue her role for as long as needed and said she offered to assist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at COP26 meetings in Glasgow, Scotland, this fall, but did not elaborate on what her role might be.”

          “That’s really up to the prime minister and (Environment and Climate Change) Minister (Jonathan) Wilkinson,” she said.

          Makes you wonder just how sure they are that they will win the election. Dominion Counting Machines help.

  10. The PC government of Doug Ford in Ontario just granted carte blanche regulatory oversight to the Ministry of Health. Simply put, all businesses are required to obey all the edicts of the Ministry of Health without discussion or debate and there are no limits on their authority. It is being done under the guise of a vaccination policy but it will not end there. Suppose that the ministry decides that there needs to be curfew – vaccination policy. Suppose that ministry detests white people – vaccination policy. Anything could be lumped under this ruling, anything at all. A law without limits is a tyranny in the making. And this is what a reasonable limits clause gets you – the ones with the might decide what is right. Either rights are absolute and inviolable, or they become a tool of the state to bludgeon the citizenry – there is no middle ground. And this kind of oversight is not conservative.

    (a) requiring the business or organization to establish, implement and ensure compliance with a COVID-19 vaccination policy; or
    (b) setting out the precautions and procedures that the business or organization must include in its COVID-19 vaccination policy.

  11. You can learn a lot by looking back a year or so:

    “NBC NEWS, Sept. 24, 2020, 5:30 AM EDT — By Courtney Kube and Dan De Luce:
    WASHINGTON — More than 200 retired generals and admirals endorsed Joe Biden for president in a letter published Thursday, saying he had the character and judgment to serve as commander-in-chief instead of President Donald Trump, who has failed “to meet challenges large or small.”

    Some of the officers who signed the letter supporting Biden had retired only in the past few years, including Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before he retired in August 2019; Vice Adm. Gardner Howe, a Navy SEAL leader who also retired last year; and retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who oversaw the Coast Guard until 2018.”

    We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We love our country. Unfortunately, we also fear for it,” they wrote.

    The retired officers and officials said the country needs a principled, honest leader who shows empathy for fellow citizens, values alliances, makes informed decisions and takes personal responsibility.

    “While some of us may have different opinions on particular policy matters, we trust Joe Biden’s positions are rooted in sound judgment, thorough understanding, and fundamental values,”they wrote.”

    1. Wow, were they wrong!

      The Canadian Prime Minister jumping into this Election is also suffering from the same problem.
      Poor timing and NOT addressing and ignoring the Afghanistan Crisis that we lost Canadian Military lives in.
      Treating like yesterday’s news has really pissed off a country already pissed off as we see more people show no respect to Trudeau in this Elections campaign.
      I don’t see him getting back in office as this keeps playing out and he keeps ignoring the sacrifice some Canadians put their lives in and lost. The veterans and military members are PISSED!

  12. A Tool of Control: How Health Officials Weaponize Language to Manage Public Perception of COVID Vaccines

    Catholic journalist Jane Stannus points out that the term “vaccine hesitant” portrays those who decline COVID (or other) vaccines as “‘trapped by irrational fears’ in a state of inaction or ignorantly opposed to science,” with the strong suggestion “that such backward and weak-minded persons are worthy of contempt, especially compared with the enlightened, confident people who signed up for the vaccine immediately.”

    The unfortunate corollary of such language is the “witch hunt on the unvaccinated” that we are already witnessing, “an act of violence against the fabric of society,” says Stannus, that is “a greater evil … than the shared suffering of disease.”

  13. If You Don’t Own A Weapon Get One. It all reminds me of that twilight, quiet time between when Hitler just got power and he was getting a feel for it and liking it, starting out by disarming the Jews and everyone but his Gestapo Thugs/COPS.
    And then he descended on the unarmed Jews slowly at first, and once he got a taste for blood.
    The frenzy began. But all the Jews and good citizens had been disarmed. Like good trusting souls.
    Believing in the beneficence and goodness of governments.
    I am sure you have heard the same words spoken lately as they then, Don’t Talk So Foolish. Herr Hitler/Trudeau/Biden/Macron would never do that to us. He is only after the Jews/the UNVAXXED etc.
    Think again FOOLS. The Bastard Government in Australia now has the Military going door to door in Australia.

  14. Part 1 of 3 Parts on Irish Independence and really how the tactics of the Irish used to win Freedom from the UK could be used in the US South, which is birthing an Independence Movement again or even better here in the Canadian Penal Colony.
    How the Western Independence Movement could benefit from the same methods employed in the Boer War and later the successful Irish push for Independence from the Inbred Brits.
    And contrary to what the msm says it was not the IRA that won through violence it was the quiet non violent non compliance on a daily basis that won Irish Freedom.

  15. Just a thought on “Our intellectual superiors” and covid.
    Was talking to a neighbour,who totally disagrees that the Vaccines are a failure and the government response to the Dread Covid is madness.

    What if the automatic response,defending vaccines and government competence is based on a primeval fear.
    For where does a graduate of our “public Education” go,when they begin to suspect Government is lying?
    What kind of mental hell are we threatening a believer with when we mock the foundation of their world?
    How does a person who has always trusted in the basic decency of the bureaucrats,process their malice and incompetence?
    Or do they wilfully not see?
    We need a new country.
    Borders we can defend,with a militia to do so.
    For the Conned will kill us,to save us.

  16. Bring Back Dueling. We would quickly see a more polite people in society.
    Besides it would quickly sharpen the minds of our greasy politicians if there were line ups of insulted tax payers at their doors everyday, waiting to slap their face and challenge them to a duel.
