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."

Nice bitch slap, Kate.
And what’s worse … is that it is a fundamentally simple and obvious question to ask. I grew up believing that the job of a Journalist was to ask; Who? What? Where? When? And Why? I learned this as a 10yo kid. It didn’t take a “University education” to understand that is the fundamental role of a proper newspaper.
The politicized lack of curiosity by the so-called Journalist class is as DANGEROUS as it is STUPID. Kate is so over the target that it’s hardly surprising she’d take some incoming fire. Poorly aimed, ineffective anti-Journalist-craft fire. Bravo Kate.
Reporters will ask the 5Ws
when they decided to become highfalutin “Journalists” they decided that other things are more important, like amplifying press releases to get the “story” to fit the approved “narrative”
*
IS IT POSSIBLE IT WAS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN?
When will the lapdog media ask, “How did Stabby McStabface die?”
*
Was it perhaps village Justice?
*
THE OLD WAYS ARE THE BEST WAYS
“To prevent him from speaking more, they cut off his tongue, and both
his upper and lower lips. After that, they set themselves to strip the flesh
from his legs, thighs, and arms, to the very bone; and then put it to roast
before his eyes, in order to eat it.”
Hey… it worked on Father Breboeuf… why not the McStabby bros?

Absolutely!
What are the qualifications to be a ‘real journalist’?
Other than the ability to cash government subsidy cheques?
What exactly do you need to learn to be a journalist in Canada?
Ask another question: Were they shot, and if so, by whom?
Why is her response to launch an attack on Kate’s ‘journalist credentials’?
Does the truth make the credentialed journalist uncomfortable for some reason?
There is a reason that independent media in Canada is growing while the heavily subsidized fools like Ashleigh need to have their salaries topped up with our tax dollars.
Could that reason be honesty and integrity?
Deflection, mis-direction.
Todays ‘ journos ‘ are yes men/women , they are organs of the Government.
Much like Pravda.
You have to win awards from other journos. Then you get invited to drinks parties and meet dreamy actors.
I guess everyone has to be somewhere. The more the media is financed by the government and the bureaucracy the less it has to be risk taking. One would think some discussion on the manifold problems of racial segregation, that is the reservation system, would merit consideration
Does she know who you are Kate? And that your media outlet probably has more engagement than hers?
That’s what blew me away. The woman must be living in a bubble if she’s unaware that Kate is Canada’s top blogger. She’s about to find out.
Silence!
I kill you!.
Nice nerve hit there Kate.
Immediate deflection to “Credentialism” and she will never ask the question .
The day she ,if ever,realizes what a Presstitute is,will be most amusing.
John…
It’s:
SILENCE…dog..!! I Keel you..!!
of course he was.
he was going to be getting oppressed by “the man”
… the WHITE man. Although … the RCMP appear to employ quite a few WHITE womyn. They’re probably all unarmed “Crisis Negotiators” … because womyn are so much more compassionate than men.
“Tell me how to be a real one.”
I think Kate just did, but then credentialed journalists are not very observant or clear thinking and we shouldn’t be surprised that Ashleigh missed it.
It’s a job requirement to be oblivious to their surroundings.
Why don’t the subsidized media have to add a ‘Full Disclosure, We’re Funded By Trudeau’ to any story related to politics or elections?
Those elections directly affect their pay cheques and livelihood. It is a direct conflict of interest for them.
They claim to be unbiased and trustworthy. Isn’t that false advertising as well?
Stock pickers have to give full disclosure before recommending a stock that they own, how is this any different?
Ashleigh’s refusal to ask those questions is her way of hiding from the real problem. She’s too cowardly to accept her role in the media hiding the truth and the consequences of that media dishonesty.
Her Twitter thread seems to be looking for answers but she’s is too much of a coward to ask questions that matter.
Sharing is scaring
The whole “Crisis Negotiator” angle of this story is equally disturbing. Trying to “talk crazed psychopaths off the so-called ledge” is insanely idiotic. The entire “can’t we all just get along” segment of our society have never lived on the mean streets. They’ve never seen what The Police see … day in and day out. The police have learned from a thousand years of civilized experience that in many, many, cases … it’s gonna be either YOU … or HIM.
Since credentialed journalists basically repeat the talking points of Canada’s PMO and Biden’s propaganda department, why do we pay them?
I no longer listen to the ‘news’.
I haven’t listened to the “news” since bout 1991…when I finally woke up and realized it was pretty much BS on a daily basis with Social Engineering as the driver.

“Update for Dangerous Person Alert for James Smith Cree Nation: Investigators have received reports of a possible sighting of suspect Myles Sanderson on James Smith Cree Nation. RCMP responding. If in area: seek shelter/shelter in place. DO NOT approach. 911 to report info.”
https://twitter.com/RCMPSK/status/1567208077253918720
So what the hell is going on out here?
There’s the stabbings – or at least we’re told they are stabbings – at James Smith Cree Nation and then the wild goose chase in Regina. Now it seems that both brothers may never have left James Smith and now there’s “separate” shootings at another Cree Nation two or so hours west. The SaskAlert warning messages are saying the two don’t appear to be related – but come on.
I’m going to guess that nobody’s even been stabbed – were these all shootings? And is that being covered up to justify Trudeau’s gun control nonsense that disarms non-natives but allows natives to keep firearms?
This whole thing stinks.
The kind of journalist that she is can be found in her reply to you Kate.
She works for Globull. They’re the bottom shelf,off brand CBC. The kind of place Jack Layton would go to get the knots worked out of his aching back.
If there was harboring happening I just think this isnt over as revenge from the other families will work its way through the “nation”.
More woo
More grief
Ball’s in your court, Ashleigh. Are you going to ask the questions journalists should ask – thereby proving yourself to be a journalist, or are you going to make another snarky comment – thereby proving Kate right?
I know where my money is.
Journalist meets Mensa member. Predictable results.
Hahahaha ha ha … spot on
Snort!
I love how the credentialed types always point to their diploma as if sitting in a lecture hall as an 18-22 year old, listening to outdated lectures and achieving 50% should sanctify one as being part of the untouchable class and define their very being, even much later in life. In my case, I tend to point to my 35 years of experience rather than a framed diploma, but then again I went to technical college, and spent the next 3.5 decades enrolled in the hard knocks faculty so I’m probably a few rungs lower than the alleged “journalist”.
True Eskimo.
But our credentialized Nitwits have no idea what they do not know.
The stuff you learn by doing..
The stuff that exposes your limitations and teaches you some humility.
And even better ,they have no intention of ever finding out.
Far better to proclaim your expertise,than to do and be seen to not do so well..
Hey, I’ll have you know that Ashleigh Stewart has a Masters degree in Not Rocking the Boat! Show some respect for that attainment, man.
/sarc
It’s the argument from authority. The weakest most specious defence. “I’ve got a diploma, therefore I am right”, proves nothing. It’s the argument of a fool.
Ashleigh knows Globull won’t tolerate thinking for yourself. It’s group think coast to coast. Step outside of the box and your toast.
Esk
Makes 2 of us…but we can fix a tire, Repair our Car/Truck, Do drywall, Wire a garage, and often build whatever we need.
Their arrogance will never fill their fridge or freezer when shit truly hits the fan…I look forward to the day….glock in hand
There haven’t been any “REAL” journalists in the mainstream media for decades. The REAL story comes from those who aren’t associated with propaganda organizations like Global, et al.
Reminder: one of the fugitives was lying dead or mortally wounded near one of the original crime scenes since dawn on Sunday.
Reports and regurgitated news releases about sightings of a DEAD MAN are bullshit. Yet it’s still unquestionably duplicated over all news and by alerts (that no Canadian is allowed to opt-out of).
“They may have split up.”
Monty Python never wrote such absurd dialogue.
Now people know why I call the MSM, Pissy pant’s media or slime stream media. Their feelings trump investigative research?
If she was a real journalist she’d have taken the high road and maybe even answered the question.
New theory, given that the dead brother is dead and the “crisis people” are now saying he was “respectful” is it possible that Dead brother was trying to get the criminal brother to turn himself in, and when the criminal brother saw 2 people he didn’t recognize coming toward where he is hiding out, criminal brother went off and got all stabby?
cant wait for his obit . either of the slime balls. will not be close to the truth
but i can write the last line that fits in after the 20 lines of relatives
we apologize for any relatives or friends we have missed.
Posted at a university job fair:
All Major Canadian News corporations are hiring lapdogs who will bay in a pack but won’t bark at trouble and won’t be thrown off an official narrative by a new scent trail.
Ms. Stewart’s tweet 3 hrs. ago. “Emergency alert issued over possible sighting of Myles Sanderson at James Smith Cree Nation…”
You don’t say?
Pick up your Jimmy Olsen Super Sleuth award on your way out hon.
Kate, so mean! 🙁
Come on, can you imagine how much trouble little Ashleigh Stewart would get in from her boss, and his boss’s boss, and ultimately the PMO? Asking those guys a real question, SUPER bad idea.
Bad idea for them to answer too. Probably get “downsized” by the Band Council for breaking the Omerata.
But hey, this is Canada [current year].
“background in journalism” = credentialed propagandist
“how to ‘be a real one'” = shamelessly lie
They shouldn’t be called journalists, ‘news organs’ is a more appropriate title.
I wonder if they could get that put on a plaque or as a diploma to hang on the wall of their cubicle?
Next will be healing circles for journalists. I don’t imagine the likes of us will see the inner workings, nor would we wish to.
Healing circles work on brain damage?
I suspect that there are fewer than half a dozen journalists working in the Canadian MSM whose IQs are over 90.
This Ashleigh Stewart person (who spells her name that way because she is different) is like every other pretentious, self-important, unaccomplished prig: convinced of her own talent and bitter when the most basic curiosity eludes her and it is pointed out .
By the by, there are no “First Nations” because there is no democratically-led government that collects taxes and uses them for its citizens (of varying parentages – it must be said) in these northern ghettos. There is also an enormous amount of dysfunction no one wants to address which is why residential schools are go-to excuses and no one will explain why (if true) Mr. Stabby-Stabby was shielded.
But I ramble on …
I fail to be able to differentiate a urnolist from my asshole!
Simple. There won’t be violence if someone tries to stretch your journalist.
Still have trouble telling?
Ms. Stewart restricted who can view her original comment?? Her psyche is that fragile?
The rez is a very nasty place. You have to fight. A coupla summers ago I had a native guy working for me (chainsaw). He was a good guy and when he worked, he worked hard. Just don’t expect him to show up before noon.
He was a free spirit. Wouldn’t hurt a flea. He told me he was down on his luck a few years earlier and headed over to his fathers rez to hang out (sponge off his relatives). The 2nd night on the rez the locals showed up to fight him. Wanted to see how tough he was. His first cousins were in the group. He managed not to engage and left the next day never to return.
My guess is the Sask slashers never left the rez. The place is full of sympatherizers. Guys in the same gang. They’ll provide cover from the cops.
How did buddy get killed? It was reported he was breaking into a house to get at someone ( a rival gang member?). The guy in the house probably shot the perp right through the door with a 30-30. They all have one. His brother mighta got hit as well.
Now the narrative invention squads are trying to blame all this on residential schools. Come on. It has been very hot recently in SK, surely global warming is a better excuse than residential schools? I would also blame Trump’s insistence on recounting the votes. You have to look at the bigger picture. Everything has its reasons.
I like that last one, Mr. Stabby went off because of Trump. It has the ring of truth about it, doesn’t it? ~:D
Personally, I think when they -finally- figure out a timeline they’ll go to the last house he hit and they’ll find his dead @$$ in a ditch nearby.
Or, and this is a bit more alarming, his bros on the rez are still hiding him from the cops. It’s hard for one guy to kill 10 and wound 15 more by himself, with a knife. I don’t really see that happening to be honest, even if he was flying on angel dust. A group effort, I believe that more.
I’m sure that -eventually- all the details will come out in discovery, when the band council sues the government and the RCMP, but we can be sure that little Ashleigh Stewart with her CRT-decoder ring will not be the one breaking the story.
