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."

FILTHY LIBERAL Justin from Canada was speaking Moistly and shot down Santa’s Sleigh.
Honk Honk
Look, it’s a bunch of geese.
Honk Honk
Turdo: shoot them down then arrest Tamara Lich
advisors: it’s a chinese balloon
Turdo: oh, that’s OK they paid for it to be there, just say we shot it down- and where is Lich?
The F-22 got the kill because our CAF Cessna couldn’t quite get high enough for the gunner to take the shot with his .303 Lee Enfield.
No knocking my RAF .303 Lee Enfield. My dad bought it army surplus when he immigrated to Canada back in ’54. Moose hunting gun for the landed ignorant. Has the unit and battalion no. stamped on it with the date of 1918. Got several guns, some expensive, got scopes, blah blah, but nothing ever in my life I’ve ever had shoots so straight and true as that .303 with open wind-sights. Lol, sometimes I take it out and just look at it, thinking of its Canadian history! (Did some scared young man hold this in a trench? There are initials carved into the stock.)
“No knocking my RAF .303 Lee Enfield. My dad bought it army surplus when he immigrated to Canada back in ’54.”
They were everywhere in the early 70s. Cheap and effective, for sure….you could really rack that bolt quickly if you wanted to.
One of our CF18s tried to shoot down a weather/spy/rumour balloon, in August 1988 and cannon and bullets don’t drop these suckers.
Other attempts were made to shoot it down with guns of other Air Forces, because missiles cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Lee Enfield is a fine weapon, but 1000 rounds from a 20mm Gatling gun just turns these massive objects into flying swiss cheese.
OTOH ….
It’s much easier to piggy back, again, and let Americans pay for shooting down suspicious objects over our airspace, while criticizing Republicans who forced the hand of John Gill quid pro Joe Biden and his sclerotic socialists schemers. The Trudeau way; both of them.
Is the Canadian and American government reading SDA comments?
Smartest thing he could do. Let the US take the shot, spend half a million on a missle, piss off either the Chinese, or the aliens.
Notice it was shot down over native territory, did he get permission from all the proper authorities?
He was advised that if a CF18 took the shot, our missile inventory would be reduced by 50%. Big Chief Money, Grievance And Us is insisting on compensation for the lack of consultation. The SCOC is planning on another $2,000,000,000 settlement.
Took down a violator. Lisp hard big-boy.
He seems very serious, was it honking?
The violator had better watch it’s bank account.
Shot down a Fat Panda giving us the fuddle duddle single finger salute.
“Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.”
” – And the Canadian aircraft ferried important Canadian government personnel to safety in Tofino – surf’s up!”
Sure, Justin.
An unvaccinated Freedom UFO?
Aren’t you in the Bahamas right now?

Could be a winner!
And Justin is Commander-in-Chief to issue a direct order like this or is this actually from the Justin Trudeau’s Ego twitter account??
In Canada, the PM is not in the chain of command. It is the Minister of Defence who is at the top and to whom reports the Chief of the Defence Staff and the Associate Minister of Defence.
Trudeau thinks he is Joe Biden.
NORAD is a binational command. The President and PM are at the top, in that they order the use of force.
That is not entirely true.
Incorrect Pappy_Gunn, at the top is the military command not Cdn civil government:
a. Commander NORAD, or Deputy Commander NORAD in the absence of Commander NORAD, shall be responsible to the Government of Canada communicating through the Chief of the Defense Staff of Canada and to the Government of the United States through the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. Commander NORAD and Deputy Commander NORAD shall each remain subject to their respective country’s applicable national laws, policies, and directives. Commander NORAD shall function in support of the aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning missions that have been approved by the authorities of the Parties for the defense of North America, and conduct information operations supportive of NORAD missions.
b. Commander NORAD and Deputy Commander NORAD shall not be from the same country, and each of their appointments must be approved by both Parties. During the absence of Commander NORAD, command shall pass to Deputy Commander NORAD.
The BBC never disappoints: at first their website referred to “Canadian President Justin Trudeau”!
Maybe it was tongue in cheek, the BBC likely knows how a Westminster form of government operates better than Trudeau. The PM does not give “orders” to military.
Covid WASN’T invented in the Wuhan Lab.
Justin did NOT call peaceful demonstrators racist, mysogynist, science deniers that take up space.
Canada is NOT training Chinese Military pilots in the north.
If Joe Biden isn’t in an oxygen chamber and Justin Trudeau isn’t high as shit would balloons even try?
Brought to you by Things That Never Happened.
“Whipped out his F-18s!”
Justin spoke with Biden and had to explain that the Yukon was a place not a truck.
Umm, isn’t a Yukon Joe’s favourite ice cream treat? Or the name of a university in Connecticut?
Trudeau’s credibility eliminated by his own dependence on America. Deflated like a weather balloon.
It’s all about culpability. This way, Blackie can blame it all on FJB & still be allowed to fellate Xi.
Japenese tourists in a hot air balloon watching the northern lights.
Doing more than just watching as children conceived beneath the Northern Lights will have an auspicious life.
He tried to freeze the aliens’ bank accounts first, but they just kept honking.
If you’re bragging about pulling the trigger on things you can’t identify and writing laws to take deer rifles away from mandatory hunting safety training course hunters you might be the Liberal Prime Minister of Canada…
Just an afterthought about these mysterious airial phenominon. American satellite technology is designed to record the initial launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles which would give America time to activate countermeasures if the launch site is thousands of miles away. However suppose the launch site is suspended below a high altitude balloon above the continental United States, how much time would it take to launch and intercept this type of launch? Would the response be in time to prevent an attack on the American homeland? Are these balloons a method of testing response times? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Currently, the word “countermeasures” really, really breaks my heart…
Imagine you’re the RCMP guy that has to go knock on Prime Minister Spicoli’s hotbox to tell him the US is shooting up the Yukon?
https://babylonbee.com/news/us-shoots-down-unidentified-flying-object-in-canadian-airspace
A question I’ve posed several places –
“What victory badge do you put on an F22 that shot down a balloon?”
First offering is “A used condom?”
A muskox fart bubble. Joostaihn sniffed it out.
As soon as CBC heard about it, Dear Leader was told to take credit.
Those twitter responses are great!
“By ‘ordered’ he means he was told what would happen”
If Justin calls in a strike over Glendale Arizona tomorrow the Superbowl could get weird.
If airspace can be “violated” why can’t our borders?
“Canada.”
It’s an “Accept Digital ID Or Die” ad balloon that hadn’t been well received this week and slipped out of the net.
I hope they loaded the missile with glitter. Trying to find a white balloon in the Yukon this time of year could be problematic. I will sleep better tonight knowing that Justin Turdwater is in change in the Situation room.
Did Justin demand that the aircrew be diverse and inclusive? He must be furious at whoever is releasing all those single use plastics.
He ordered it He couldn’t order a bj at a queer convention
At the time of the shooting, Prince Turdeau was as high as a high altitude balloon.
The Canadian CF-18s have a service ceiling of 50,000 Ft and can hit 1190 MPH. . Why didn’t the RCAF handle the destruction of the ”UFO??” Or was blackface afraid the CF-18 might look good in the 6:00 PM news??
It’s closer to 1200.
Because none were close enough would be my guess….either that or they couldn’t afford to pay the carbon tax on the fuel.
The CF-18s at Cold Lake Alberta were probably waiting for parts from some other Country’s scrap yard.
So… Brave, brave Thir Juthtin ordered a helium-filled bouncy castle to be shot down? Everybody knows bouncy castles are a threat to Canada’s national security. They are dangerous enough when they are on the ground, but when they go aerial, look out below!
All Canadians can sleep well tonight.
Totally demoralizing all the participants at a Yukonian birthday party.
Was it Edris’ private plane?
No one is fooled, Justin.
Operation Airhead
Whatever it was, I’m sure it was a misogynistic racist with unacceptable views. It was unarmed and non aggressive so Justin was going to send the RCMP Musical Ride up to trample it into submission, but it turns out that the Mounties’ horses can’t really fly despite all identifying as pegasi.
I feel so much safer. Like a favorite sweater safer.
Juthdin doesn’t have the faculties to order a GD pizza, let alone the shooting down of “an unidentified object”.
Trudeau rushed to Twitter to state that he had “ordered” the flying object shot down, a somewhat self-aggrandizing statement.
Constitutionally, the Governor General is Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Prime Minister is not at the top of the chain of command.
The operation was, properly, a NORAD one. A statement from NORAD Command said that the object was “authorized” (not ordered) by POTUS and the Prime Minister of Canada to be shot down.
So Trudeau’s statement, while not quite a lie, is certainly not entirely true. Surprising, eh?
Yeah, but the [spit] Progs now think he’s an f’ing He-Row. $1.6 billion on MSM support well spent…
Just how did boy blunder “order” an American plane to shoot down a balloon in Canadian airspace. Last time I checked the Americans don’t take orders from Canada.
“Just how did boy blunder “order” an American plane to shoot down a balloon in Canadian airspace. Last time I checked the Americans don’t take orders from Canada.”
Yeah, that was my first thought as well. He didn’t ‘order’ anything…he ‘requested’ that it be shot down.
Missed me!
Did the Bong consult with the appropriate natives before he ordered a shoot to kill order?
