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."

Surely you have realized, as I have, that Canadian tax dollars are ALWAYS accompanied by or have a Liberal operative in close proximity.
Liberal mantra: All your Canadian tax dollars belong to us.
Can’t wait til Canadians figure out that the Liberal thieves that stole their lifestyles infest all of Canada and payback will be too easy.
If Canadians in general are half as dumb as the people who live in Ottawa, especially in and around the core, you’ll be waiting for an awfully long time.
100% agreed. Canadians that haven’t figured it out by now will keep begging to have more taxes and more government control over their lives.
His business was shut down for three weeks? I don’t believe it.
It was the middle of a pandemic, all his business employees would have been working from home.
And, if memories serve me right, Mr Graves was one of those pro-lockdown liberals.
What an A-hole.
What Frankie doesn’t want you to know is that businesses DIDN’T HAVE TO BE SHUT DOWN. It was THE CITY OF OTTAWA that ordered businesses closed. Those that stayed open had a whopping windfall, especially after the city cancelled the 2022 Winterlude festival. The freedom convoy WAS the city’s “winterlude” festival, if only the city had opened their eyes and took advantage of the opportunity.
And all it would have cost them was a few days of horn-honking.
These people (people living in Ottawa and running [ruining?] this city) ARE LYING TO YOU, just like Mayor Watson LIED when he said that he witnessed violence committed by the truckers. Nope. He admitted under oath in the inquiry that he was referring to media reports of supposed violence. See how the lies feedbacks on itself to amplify the lies? Just like Mr. Watson’s whopper about the fake arson attempt at a downtown apartment building. (the attempt was real. The lie was blaming the truckers for it.)
The violence stories are an excellent extof the Nancy Pelosi wrap up smear.
– you plant a false story in the media
– the press reports it (citing anonymous sources)
– then the politicians cite the media stories.
That is precisely how the political/media cartel confab works.
Let’s be frank, the guy is an idiot.
Exactly fc. Know a business that stayed open during the convoy, sales were excellent, staff were extremely well tipped. Truckers and supporters cleaned the floors, bathrooms and helped out any way they could. I don’t live in downtown Ottawa but had business to conduct there during the convoy. No problem getting to where I needed to go. I attended the protest while I was there (and stood in the freezing cold on an overpass for 4 hours when they were arriving), never had I experienced a more loving crowd. There was a feeling of hope everywhere. So sad it ended how it did, actually brought tears to my husband’s eyes and he is a big burly man who rarely shows that type of emotion.
Similar to you, I had business downtown and walked around the trucks and chatted with the protesters. A lovely, friendly, bunch of folks and a beautiful a ray of hope at a very dark time.
Frank, make sure you are up to date on your C19 boosters.
Now that CBC is being called to appear before the inquiry shouldn’t all of their reports on it have a full disclosure of that conflict of interest?
Will their reports start trashing the lawyers who will be questioning the CBC there in the future?
Softening up the public to believe whatever lies CBC is going to tell?
Is there any report that the corrupt CBC has been called? Any link? I hope what you say is true.

Apparently there was foreign influence for the truckers’ protest.

Turns out this London UK group received money from the Trudeau government.
Perhaps Team Trudeau was trying to pull a Hilary (who funded the Steele dossier)?
“”The Commission was not aware of Mr. Graves’ tweets.””
.
The question is was the commission aware that Frank Graves is a hardcore Liberal Party of Canada supporter?
Greg, official political contribution records at the Election Canada web site show that Mr. Graves has donated thousands of dollars to the federal Liberal party. And over a stretch of several years he was a monthly donor to the corrupt Liberals, donating $125 each month. If anything that indicates he is tied to the hip to the Liberals.
The Emergency Commission could easily find this out in minutes.
But they have shown a level of incuriousity towards conflicts of interest so far, why would they start looking now?
David Murrell
Maybe membership to that contributors list, is what got him the job.
His name on the list of “companies” that got paid for the ArriveCan app??
They better remove him, gob smacking via how everything in this country now reeks of liberal corruption?
What do you have against Liberal Party pollsters…. oh…
I’d rather be forced to sit beside Kinsella on a plane than Graves, so that says a lot.
Why does the so called “inquiry” need a corrupt partisan pollster for a consultant?
Are there any other “consultants” who don’t have connections to the Liberal Party?
/we already know the judge does, that’s why he was picked
The entire pantomime is rigged.
We can stop pretending impartiality and objectivity now.
I was in Ottawa in June. The entire downtown core (business sector) was silent and bereft of human activity. Restaurants were closed as well as other services. Why? Cause everyone in Ottawa is working from home. Ever try to contact a government agency lately? Standard answer is: “….due to a higher than normal volume of calls, we regret to say that we cannot connect you with one of our agents. But please stay on the line and you will be connected as soon as possible to the next available agent…” The freedom convoy was not a threat to Graves.
jaymo, I hope you got properly disinfected once you left that rat hole!
Recent testimony;
Bernier: “The plan that I was developing was based on existing authorities, [,,,] Before he ever knew the Emergencies Act would be in place, “I was satisfied that we were going to have all the authorities we’d need to take action — if the communication and the negotiation piece of our stabilization plan was not successful — in having that area cleared, and the city returned to a state of normalcy.”
From a Paul Wells article. Wells in emphasizing the phrase in the Act From Section 3: “For the purposes of this Act, a national emergency is an urgent and critical situation… that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”
He goes on:
The Act does not say, “If the protesters involved are nasty, don’t sweat the details.” It doesn’t inquire whether people are sometimes mean on Twitter. It says, if there was any other way in law to get to the other side of this mess, then you don’t get to use the Emergencies Act.
His verdict is clear:
“…any other law of Canada”

You may recall Graves threats toward Pierre Poilievre.
