  1. The Emergency Act inquiry has heard from numerous senior police officers, that the truckers protest in Ottawa was peaceful and there was no need to invoke the emergency act.

    The testimony from Ottawa citizens and politicians seems to consist of Nancy Pelosi ‘wrap-up’ smear tactics; i.e. plant a false story in the media, and when the media reports it, the politicians quote the media story.

  2. Call to Action Alert!

    Holocaust Denier Kari Lake has put out a 30 second ad calling Katie Hobbs a Debate Denier. I already messaged Youtube demanding they take this ad down because of Misinformation and Hate.
    I encourage everyone else to follow suit. We MUST stop this DANGEROUS womyn!

    1. We need many more Kari Lakes to run instead of the woke commies who want to destroy our history and make life miserable for everyone.
      I call BS on your claim.

      1. Ah… Rookies! I learned the hard way about Progressive Pat. Newcomers will too, eventually.
        The positive take is that because so many don’t seem to know PP is indicative that there are more people joining the forum, and to those, I say welcome!

    1. Haven’t heard from you for a while. Was getting worried, not. I do hope you are okay. Where else am I going to get comedic relief?

    2. Pat, your sense of humour is just too subtle for some of the more obtuse perusers of this blog. Keep up the good work.

  3. Grumans on 11th Ave Calgary serves a decent Montreal smoked meat sammie with pickles onside.
    Westfort Coney Island cafe Thunder Bay has best slyder sauce covered hoddog or hamburger, con onions, por favor.

    1. Thanks for the info, Dr Who, didn’t know they existed in Calgary. Did a bit of sleuthing and found out they closed on 11 Ave as of July 30th and have relocated to the Garrison Curling Club Lounge opening this month. See more info here:

      Hmm…Brisket Fridays, sounds yummy!

    2. I don’t get to YYC very often but I’m going to give Grumans a go next time I’m in town. Had to google the Garrison CC (thanks NR).

      I spent a coupla months up in the bush in NW Ontario this spring hanging with an old buddy a trapper and float plane driver. We hit the Hodder Ave Greeks in Thunder Bay for a coney island slyder. Maybe another time I’ll give your place a try Doc.

    1. Actually he starts shooting his WEF yap off at 43:35 of that Video.

      This NAZI POS and many like couldn’t keep their pie holes shut and often are 100% straight faced telling you what they were planning. It’s the SMUG Arrogance that much of the Elite have. Gates and his Human Micro chipping shit…is a classic Example

      Ask yourself how long has it been since we’ve been hearing about the “NEW WORLD ORDER”.?? At least as early as when George Bush 1 was in the White house…and Reiterated by everyone of his followers with the exception of DJT.

      Well seems to me Covid was planned decades ago…likely as early as 1990 (and in a theoretical sense, centuries ago), when the First mRNA vax was created.

    1. A lot of US coal is exported through the Port of Vancouver, BC. Apparently coal ships don’t club whales the same way ships carrying Canadian oil do. Strangely enough oil tankers going through the Strait of Juan de Fuca bound for US ports don’t club whales either. Odd how that works.

      1. Scar…One hell of a lot of Canadian Coal goes through that port as well. Have seen some pretty long trains heading YVR way on my travels through Central BC.

      2. Hiked the JdF trail both last & this summer. Saw lots of tanker traffic in the strait but not a single whale washed up on shore. Lots of curious seals swimming around near the campsites.

  4. I want a new country
    Double Whammy —Court Won’t Allow Peckfords Charter Challenge on Canadians Freedom of Movement, Lockdowns and Mandates.
    And
    Now The Parliamentary Committee Won’t Allow Original Government Documents About The Convoy To Be Seen. They Are To Remain Secret and Redacted !

    1. I am hoping Peckford wins on appeal as the government cannot enact illegal mandates that violate the “charter” and then withdraw those restrictions and and then have a court say it’s moot. It was illegal, full stop.
      The restrictions were suspended, not cancelled leaving room for the government to impose them again. This is just imposing court/legal costs on the plaintiffs.
      It’s bullshit.

  5. The original Yitz’s in Toronto and Lester’s in Montreal. And always grabbed a corned beef from Shopsy’s at the CNE back in the good ole’ days.

    1. DS has already backed down on 3 statements she’s made. So much for “not for turning”.

      As to that quaint little observation, “Some call her the Canadian Ron DeSantis.”, she only wishes she had a single vertebrae from DeSantis’ spine. Just one.

      “I tend to be more progressive in some of my social views.” Outright commie, as a matter of fact. And therein lies the rub.

      I’m telling you, people, do not trust DS. Keep her feet to the flames at all times. She has a proven track record of waffling all over the place.

      1. Biker

        I’m willing to cut DS some slack. She’s the closest we’ve had to a conservative in Alberta in the last 75 or more years. She’s a libertarian and therefore is ok on the abortion issue and gay rights etc.

        I’m not happy with the size of her cabinet but I get it. It’s politics. Keep your enemies close and solidarity in the party matters this close to an election.

        They are out to get her – here and across the country. Everything she ever said is now being dredged up and thrown in her face. The weasels on Chorus radio are pretty stiff with her forgetting that 18 months ago she was their star.

        So, yes she made some egregious errors in the past. She has owned these mistakes. Lets see how things play out.

        Alberta isn’t the place it was 30 years ago. Smith represents a real conservative option. If she can’t carry the day…..

        1. Trap:

          She’s the best of a poor lot but that doesn’t mean I’m going to cut a quisling any slack. I don’t care if she’s owned her past or not. Absolutely anything she says, writes, dictates, dreams, does, whatever, is immediately under doubt. I won’t trust a proven liar in my personal life, nor will I anywhere else.

          She needs to be under a microscope her entire time at the helm. She’s earned that level of scrutiny. If she can’t handle that, wah frickin’ wah. GTF out & appoint me.

          I alluded to the possibility of a change over the weekend. It happened. Nine of the 17 positions (a majority) open on the UCP BoD were won by candidates approved by Take Back Alberta. The BoD can apply tremendous pressure to DS, not limited to but including removing her party status & subsequently, her premiership.

          For the first time in years I am cautiously optimistic about provincial politics.

          BTW, if anybody from Alberta isn’t involved with or hasn’t heard about Take Back Alberta, have a look at their social media for the next meeting local to you. There are some good things happening. Get involved!

  6. In Manhattan, I preferred the Carnegie Deli (now closed) over Katz’s. Schwartz’s in Montreal, of course. Switzer’s on Spadina Avenue in Toronto was a family favourite when I was a kid. Yitz’s and Shopsy’s were good too.

  7. Rushi SUNAK

    …is UK’s new unelected PM.
    He also happens to be the Son-in-law of Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys.
    Infosys being a leader in Digital Currency/digital ID movement …

    How convenient eh.?
