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."

How do you say “gulp” in German?
I believe it’s «Heilige Scheiße»

You gotta give to them Germans, they are getting closer.
Too bad global warming wasn’t real. Then the Europeans wouldn’t freeze this winter.
Oh crap. This means that Europe will now have to attack Pearl Harbor.
The Russians are at war. It’s would be dumb to expect them to supply fuel to those arming the Ukrainians.
I blame Trudeau for refusing to supply European with clean and sustainably producted Canadian fuel. If it was coming from Quebec rather then Alberta and Saskatchewan he would have already approved pipelines and Liquified natural gas plants at the country ports.
Didn’t a Quebec project get canceled? Shale production I believe. All those smug Euro philes, including my older brother, may be eating a lot of Cold crow. For the sake of my grandchild I hope it snaps a lot of people out of the green delusion. But I don’t think it will happen, regardless of the pile of bodies in the EU.

I knew someone testing gas wells in Quebec before they stopped them. They had to translate every piece of paper into French and hire someone who spoke that dead language so they could run their company in French with a dozen unilingual Albertans. That’s history now.
THE FRIEND OF MY ENEMY IS MY BANKER.
Except for the fact that the West is financing Putin’s war. Biden’s aggressive attack on the domestic oil and gas industry dramatically increased Russia’s income (by tens of billions of dollars in revenue increases) every month for two years. Crippling the oil and gas industry in the US also opened up new markets for Russian oil and gas. Biden and his staff of incompetents made war in Ukraine, not just possible, but also affordable.
Not only affordable, profitable.
Right? This whole war seems to be a prime example of the west wanting their cake and eating it too.
“Yes, we are helping to kill your soldiers and imposing sanctions on you but we see no reason why this should disrupt your sending us fuel”.
Yes, it has a real “Masters of the Obvious” feel to it.
The true measure of a government is when they celebrate their plans to do something that everyone knows is doomed to fail. Kind of like making electric cars mandatory when you already can’t keep the darn lights on.
“Last one to leave California, please turn out the lights. Oh…oh…never mind.”
I’ve been stuck thinking about this as well. Trump, here again, ripped a veil from my eyes. Being a business man and America as his portfolio he played all leverage angles in negotiations.
The current crop of _Western_ Leaders I think believe that their countries were the immoral recipients of their position and should not use all leverage in negotiations. Even further simplified every feature of negotiation is transactional and unrelated– particularly since we are ultimately serving one world government.
I recall some early Trump negotiations where there were complaints about using energy policy in state craft. Thus all the futile warnings Trump gave the Germans about not relying upon Russia for gas supply.
In a way this is good news in that Europe and Germany in particular will have to face the truth of the consequences of their embrace of green mania. Russia is actually doing them a favour in breaking the bad news to them. The sooner they face their predicament, the less damage will be done. Can’t be any worse than the aftermath of WW2.
After WWII they could probably buy coal from a vendor in every community. Today? Not so much.
Imagine a language that has a word for the smug satisfaction of seeing somebody suffer for their choices.
Just imagine…

Thank you RUSSIA. Seriously … thank you.
For what? For showing the global Warmist Socialist Left the folly of their ways. But don’t worry, these mental midgets will double-down on their stupidity. They will demand everyone should live with less. They will convince themselves that Capitalism is “unsustainable” . So they will MANDATE that every good citizen of The EU … live like it were 1599.
The entire EU are Putin’s bitch. Now the LGBTQqEI+2s … can freeze in cold anger toward Putin. Jao Bidinh insisted he was winning the internet popularity contest over Putin … hahahaha ha ha … not anymore. And BTW Bidinh … your propaganda has been sooooooo over the top … that no one believes any of it.
And now Joe … you’ve made the EU … carbon free. Eat it. Live with it. Suffer from it. Trump WARNED you all from the pulpit of the UN … and like fools, you laughed and smirked. Enjoy your decline.
Europe is falling fast. Even quicker than Northern North America.
Oh well.
Exactly as predicted, severe restrictions on the supply of fossil fuels (leading to dramatically increasing energy prices) to a nation’s industrial core can make it impossible to continue manufacturing the components of renewable energy systems.
Time to send out the funeral invitations for Germany.

I just bought a few tins of Belgium cookies that were probably made 6 months to a year ago over there.
Knowing full well that there won’t be anymore coming until they get their act together.
Hard to run a bakery with NG or electricity in short supply at outrageous prices never mind what the input costs for the coming Harvest are figuring for the retail prices of future products.
My one guilty pleasure and it was on sale.
C’est la vie Europe.
Yes, those are fantastic.
No worries, the educated experts have it under control.
Just think where the world would be now if good faith negotiations where under way now, instead of Russian roulette.
But hey it reminds us all “how important it is to go green”.
More please….. LOL

Don’t look to Canada to export energy … as Trudeau says, no business case for it.
The guy couldn’t make money selling pot. What would he know about business?
The Bong is a loyal consumer of it.
Putin is just helping Europe meet its net zero commitment. Here the Mayor of Antwerp says rather too much about official EU policy:
https://mobile.twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1566509430610530304?cxt=HHwWgMC4zeCBrr0rAAAA
The mayor predicts European companies will move to where energy is cheap, like the U.S. and China.
Don’t worry Mr Mayor, Biden is following the gang green policies of Europe.
‘They’ (the West) wanted war: they got it.
Tell that to the Chechnya, Armenian, Georgia, Ukraine( 2014 )…..
What did they think that Russia was going to do once they had the fuel monopoly? Getting control of the Ukrainian reserves was what the “invasion” was all about. President Trump even warned them what was coming. The war in the Ukraine makes it clear that Moscow can’t make a damn thing. Russia was planning on being a parasite, living off the creativity and energy of Europe.
Russia can’t even use the bulk of their military since China has old claims on Siberia. When Moscow runs out of cash, they are in deep kimchee.
