    1. Colonialista – PJ Watson, again, makes a very good point. Steve from Rockwood also has a good National Post link below regarding Young in the same vein as PJ Watson.

    1. Interesting how Kenney repeatedly arrests a preacher for speaking out on human rights. His Justice Minister gets a ticket and phones the Edmonton Police Chief to fix it. Get did of the asshole Kenney and his Nazi crew. Find some libertarian Conservatives to run the show.

    1. “Of the athletes heading to China to compete, 106 identify as female”…

      No mention of how many identify as male.

      Also, I’m not sure they are athletes. It only mentions “delegation”. There are 600 people attending from Canada (not including fans) including 215 athletes. Two people for every athlete.

  6. “Truckers supported throughout the journey”

    From Montreal to Ottawa, hundreds of citizens gathered on the sides of the roads and on the overpasses, signs and flags in hand to encourage the “freedom convoy” of truckers heading to the Parliament of Canada.

    Whether in cars, skidoos , four-wheelers or even tractors, hundreds of citizens did not hesitate to brave the cold to come and support the demonstrators who were on their way to Ottawa. They stood on the overpasses or in the fields by the side of the road.

    The convoys of freedom which arrived from Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Stanstead, Saint-Liboire, but also from the Maritimes, converged yesterday in Montreal to find themselves on the highway.

    Throughout the trip, and despite the -20°C that hit the province yesterday, many children and adults were carrying flags of Canada, Quebec and even, for some, of the People’s Party of Canada.

    Several homemade signs demand an end to sanitary measures or insult Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau and François Legault. Some placards also called for “freedom”, while others displayed “freedom or death, don’t tread on me” flags.

    In Vaudreuil, and more specifically at exit 17, the number of vehicles present was so large that several Sûreté du Québec (SQ) vehicles were forced to prevent access to the service area.

    Hundreds of citizens had crowded in, armed with flags of Canada, Quebec and the United States, and whistles to encourage motorists and truckers to honk their horns.

    In a rather good-natured and festive atmosphere, those who came to ask for the end of sanitary measures in the country even fired red smoke bombs and a few fireworks, in broad daylight.

    Several children also demanded “freedom”, noted Le Journal on the spot. …..

    1. I stood on one of those overpasses yesterday. So proud of our truckers. Lots of hoots and hollers, flag waving, thumbs up. Was standing beside what I found out to be a kindergarten teacher, should have asked her where she teaches to send my grandbabies there when it is time. And yes, it was damn cold. My toes are still thawing.

  7. Neil Young is a hypocrite.

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/colby-cosh-is-neil-youngs-stand-against-joe-rogan-the-natural-outcome-of-1960s-anti-corporate-spirit

    My stand on Young is this. If he is so concerned about corporations controlling the narrative why did he take their money in the first place? Why did he sell half the rights of his music? Why did he place his music on Spotify instead of giving it away? For the money. Neil Young is a money-grubbing bastard just like the rest of the “famous” people who are filthy rich and are now telling us how to think, what to do and who to listen to. So take your money Neil and shove it up the tail-pipe of your diesel-spewing bus that follows behind your environmentally friendly electric car wherever you fly to when protesting the evil corporations.

  9. Google “i need you to take Trudeau to the train station” via images. Anyone who has watched a season of Yellowstone will know what the reference means. Some might like the T-shirts in support of the convoy, or, disparaging of Trudeau, here: https://www.etsy.com/market/trudeau_shirt. I like the “Canadians Tired of Trudeau” sign that looks like the Canadian Tire sign.

  10. Robert:

    Thanks for the movie tip. That’s another one on my round tuit list.

    One Canadian-themed movie deserves two more. More than 70 years ago, Randolph Scott made a couple of hokey flicks taking place in Canada, Canadian Pacific and The Cariboo Trail. (They’re on YouTube, so they should be easy to find.)

    They’ve got a few unintentionally funny moments in them. I’ll let you figure out why, so you’re gonna have to watch them, if you haven’t seen them already…..

  11. Officials deny that Critical Race Theory is taught in the Ontario schools. On the other hand, one of my students in Richmond Hill had to cancel our writing class because her school required attendance at a special seminar on “racialization in ballet.” On a Friday evening.

    Her brother informed me that only “non-white” students had to attend.

    1. It came out on Jan 26 (so not yesterday, just picking a minor nit) and I had previously posted a couple of links to another site covering the story. Hopefully your link to The Blaze will get more traction. text reposted from the previous reader tips:

      This is three doctors talking about a summary of military records (cross-services) in the US, not voluntary reporting like VAERS.
      Note for UnMe – a 100% increase is 2 times the normal rate.
      …the number of cancer diagnoses in the military went from a 5-year average (2016-2020) of 38,700 per year to 114,645 in the first 10 months of 2021.
      myocardial infarction –269% increase
      Bell’s palsy – 291% increase
      congenital malformations (for children of military personnel) – 156% increase
      female infertility – 471% increase
      pulmonary embolisms – 467% increase

      1. You’re welcome. Positions like that just make me sick. I’m not advocating, but I have to wonder where she’d be if she was a survivor. I know 3 women who have been raped & their lives will never be the same.

  15. Enormous Dead Animals
    “Orcas recorded for first time killing and eating world’s largest animal, the blue whale”
    Apparently Whale tongue is a delicacy for killer whales. Trigger warning for PETA members who read SDA, the story and linked video include “Gruesome details about how orcas hunt the world’s largest animal,… — like swimming inside their mouths to eat their tongues before they die”.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/orcas-recorded-for-first-time-killing-and-eating-world-s-largest-animal-the-blue-whale/ar-AATgWsV?ocid=msedgntp

  18. Did the CBC just have a let’s go Brandon moment? Duck Trudeau gaslighting of those F Trudeau flags. Darn auto correct lol

  19. Nova Scotia is waking up to the high cost of green energy.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/solar-industry-says-proposed-nova-scotia-power-charge-will-devastate-sector/ar-AATfu2g?ocid=entnewsntp

    “The Nova Scotia electrical system is designed to serve peak electricity loads, which happen during the evenings on winter months, Landrigan said. Because the sun isn’t shining during those winter evenings, NSP has to build, or contract out, enough generating power to serve those net meter customers as well — a cost which falls to non-solar customers.”

    Apparently solar power doesn’t work at night (when you need it most in winter). And the government is currently paying people to generate solar electricity during the day when the province doesn’t need it. So the people who installed solar energy thinking they were being subsidized by those who didn’t are mad their investment won’t pay off as quickly as they imagined. That is an East Coast Dilemma if I’ve ever heard one.

    1. And how is that electricity from tidal power in the Bay of Fundy working out for Nova Scotia? That fantasy has been kept alive by Greenies for 50 years.

      1. It’s still alive I think. One of the few non-reality TV shows on Discovery Channel last year that I watched was a mega-engineering show where there was an underwater turbine that they were looking to anchor to bedrock to catch the twice a day river-like-flow in and out (without affecting the shallower ecological zones). I can’t remember why that particular one failed, I think it was that the slack time between flows weren’t large enough to get it planted in place. But there was still more money available to them, so they were going to keep trying.

        As a side rant, why did they populate Discovery Channel with reality TV and then add two or three other Discovery spin-offs and make them mostly reality TV type shows too? I dropped them because they’ve watered down the channels too much, I don’t care about tow truck drivers or jade hunters in northern BC. I want to see shows on working inventions, astronomical discoveries, boundaries of physics (stellar and galactic formation), quirky mathematics. I guess it’s back to YouTube and supporting the neutrals by using the evil system.
