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."

Every day that PP waits to see if this will blow over confirms that he will lose his principled swing vote to Mad Max which will only ruin his chances and hasten the western departure from the deranged dominion.
Steyn captured my sentiments without my needed profanities, as I cannot talk about stupid without profanity.
PP was installed by the party. they knew Lewis would win, so they dragged out Charest, and Brown to be the official competition. Blackballed Lewis from the media, and then low I.Q. voter (Conservatives supposedly) fell for it hook line and sinker.
You’ve nominated a lifetime Ottawa politician trained at the feet of Kenney, to fix all the problems the lifetime politicians created. Biden had 48 years experience in politics, how’s that working out for you?
Could of had Lewis and changed the dynamics for real, but instead the party will continue to shed votes to PPC. I’m voting Max, not because he’ll win, but he speaks with actions, not words.
Leslyn Lewis is a stand up woman with principles, moral and character and not afraid to stand up for what she believes. She would have made a great leader of the Party. Totally agree PP was selected, not elected.
The CPC ranked ballot is about as crooked as it gets and needs to be abolished.
I wrote to PP and told him he has lost my support and vote….bye, bye.
Unfortunately Lewis issued an apology for seeing Christine Anderson.
Yep, and there you have the reality.
Lewis had absolutely no chance of winning. I like her, I like her politics and I agree with GRM that she is a stand up woman with principles, morals and character and not afraid to stand up for what she believes.
But she has one fatal flaw that cancels out all of the above. She doesn’t speak French. If you aren’t fluent in French, you cannot be elected prime minister of Canada. Just a basic fact.
Jean Chretien won three times.
@Mike,
Jean Chretien was fluent in French and English. Heavily accented English but fluent nonetheless.
(There was a joke at the time that he didn’t speak either of Canada’s official languages. Apparently his French wasn’t very “upper class”, but I wouldn’t know.)
” If you aren’t fluent in French, you cannot be elected prime minister of Canada. Just a basic fact.”
Yes, but why?
@Fred,
How comfortable would you be with a PM who only spoke French?
The french tail has been wagging the english dog all my life.
“@Fred,
How comfortable would you be with a PM who only spoke French?”
Like Jean Chretien?
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
Good point, but Canada is ‘bi-lingual’ in name only. The vast majority of us (3 out of 4) speak English, so a Prime Minister who only speaks French is pretty much impossible. That said, I’d be fine with translators if it came right down to it…they rarely say anything of substance anyway.
this will likely turn into the standard.
don’t waste your vote on Max, that’s just splitting the right, our first objective is to get rid of trudeau.
Remember PP is, at best, Liberal lite, voting for “the conservatives” is actually splitting the left.
There isn’t a hope in hell PP can please everyone.Some will take their vote elsewhere as seen in the comments,the rest of us can quit bitching and get out and ensure Justin gets defeated.Let’s actually hear one positive thing on hear for a change
I don’t expect anyone to please everyone. But if PP’s best qualtity is that he’s not the other guy why is that good enough for you?
Right now Canada is in freefall. The liberals are turning the nose of the aircraft down. “the conservatives” are saying lets turn the engine off.
Make no mistake the conservatives will take us to the liberal destination, it might just take a couple extra years.
I want someone who will try to bring the nose back up.
I don’t care if Justin gets defeated, if he is only replaced by someone who will put in the same policies, but is now wearing a different colour tie.
To be completly frank, I’d rather the crash happens sooner than later.
I would like to be young enough give meaninggul help to my children through these times.
Or, as so often happens, only gives us a short reprieve. I have yet to see any Conservative undo Liberal policies. Instead, the bureaucrats get the Conservatives to implement the policies (GST and Tax Income Trusts anyone?) the Liberals found too toxic to implement themselves.
The a hole is just one more freaking conservative/liberal lite quebecker. F*** him. canadians can’t think anymore.
If you’re referring to Poilievre, he was born, raised and educated in Alberta.

also…adopted
voting for “the conservatives” is actually splitting the left
Can’t agree more with your comment….the CONS campaign as liberal-lite, never challenging the Libs ideologically, just accusing them of not carrying out the liberal agenda competently. Of course, for appearance’s sake they might quibble over a few platform issues, or throw a bone to the actual “conservative” base. But there is no substantial difference in electioneering and very little in governance.
So, as you say, the left-wing vote in Canada is essentially 95%. And voters only turn to the CONS when the Libs are in the throes of their occasional civil wars. (Trudeau-Turner; Turner-Chretien; Chretien-Martin). At the moment, Junior’s handlers have control files on everyone of significance within the party, so any potential rivals are biding their time.
Poilievre statement is like he copy-pasted from a Trudeau tweet. He’s a disappointment. Saw that when he was asking an MP multiple questions in Parliament and the responses weren’t even related to PP’s questions. I would have called out the Speaker for permitting that kind of insolence. But no. It’s all theatre. Pathetic theatre at that.
I would happily trade PP for Christine Anderson. PP has turned out to be either a gutless wonder, or is run by his handlers. Neither is acceptable.
Getting lectured from Captain Blackface bananapants is a joke.
I understand your angst and frustration.
But can you imagine stopping every 2 hours in the middle of your 100 acre section to charge an electric tractor?
you are in a dream world IF you think you can get 8 hrs of work on a battery tractor……..HELL, an F150 Lightning will only pull a travel trailer for 100 miles before having to “charge up”
Take off your blinders man……….this whole EV stuff is nuts. Where will you plug in when you are in the middle of your field and you run out of juice? NO way this will ever work in your fields………AMEN
100 miles is optimistic. Some guy on youtube managed 50 miles pulling a car trailer with a Model T on it.
I want to see the rural hydro setup that’s going to charge that mega-battery in an hour.
Heh. They should’ve hooked the trailer up to the Model-T and put the EV on the trailer. They’d have got there sooner.
By the way, why do you electric car people consistently lie about battery performance? You really think anyone is going to believe 8 hour operating time and one hour charging time? On a 300 horsepower tractor pulling an implement?
Sure. That could happen.
“By the way, why do you electric car people consistently lie about battery performance? You really think anyone is going to believe 8 hour operating time and one hour charging time?”
Only people who know nothing about batteries would ever believe that.
Bullshit on the electric tractor
That was classic Steyn.
And just to prove his point he interviews Anderson.
Love that guy!
(can’t help but notice his shortness of breath…that MI caused some long term effects.)
New Poll:
What is your choice for the official animal of the Conservative Party of Canada?
Slug
Jellyfish
Rabbit
coral polyp
So, Poilievre is a polyp case now?
Rabbit indeed.
Little Peter Pea-rabbit.
But, then again, rabbits are vertebrates…
Rabbits run from everything, just like Conservative politicians. But at least they -run-. And they do have a spine.
A coral polyp sits in one place and literally waits for food to fall into its mouth. It never goes anywhere, never does anything. Can’t even stand up on its own, it depends on algae to build its house. All the polyp does is eat and make doodoo.
That’s the true spirit animal of a Conservative politician.
Even the Conservatives are more sentient than those creatures. I was thinking more like Sheep, Cow, or Chicken.
Lapdog
Remora
Singh-song is the Remora, attached itself to the the biggest shark possible, for protection and best chances at the biggest scraps..
If you think diesel is expensive, wait until you start charging an electric tractor on rural hydro.
As a rural family with a solar array, you’re getting a little tiny benefit from a scam that’s fleecing all the rest of the rate-payers. Congratulations on getting your pinky into the pig trough.
It existential for our family and livelihood. We aren’t pissing around here so don’t be dismissive of what we are being forced to do whether we like it or not. I’m sure that’s not your intention.
It pretty much is my intention, really. Stealing from your neighbors is stealing from your neighbors. That it is a sugar-coated government scam doesn’t change that, just spreads the theft wider and dilutes the blame.
You want to run solar fairy dust, I have no objection. Have a great big solar party, good luck with the gigantic battery. Have fun wiping the snow off your array today.
You want me and everybody else to pay for it? That’s different.
Good luck on charging all the farm tractors. The rural electrical grid would have to be rebuilt from scratch. I get 50 amps. I think my transformer can put out 100 amps if I pay extra. That ain’t enough to charge the tractors, trucks, combines etc all putting out hundreds of horsepower.
I’d need to put in a new service from the road (or replace the existing transformer and add in another panel) to be able to charge an EV at our place. I have that booked in for 2040.
IDC, you are getting a 12 to 17% ROI on your grid tied array because of a feed in tariff, better described as a massive subsidy from other rate payers as a result of loony left green ideology. If every one did that the entire scheme crashes and burns on itself. Using it may be in your own self interest, promoting it to other innumerates is destructive.
That’s it. PPC. i don’t care if it splits the vote. We have no choice. So sick of these Stupid Fake FILTHY CONSERVATIVES. PPC PPC PPC. All the way!
So you like the Liberals in power? I voted PPC the last time but I digress that was more of a protest vote at the time. This country will be forever voting people out instead of voting people in. Max will nevvvvver be Prime Minister, even though I wish he was. This country is way too far left. Far too many takers than givers. NDP and Liberal voters will never vote for Max in any sort of meaningful way. Also don’t underestimate the power of the bought and paid for media. If Max were even close to getting in power it would be front page news that he is killing puppies and eating babies and whatever else the presstitutes can come up with. The media is our enemy.
Just a pipe dream here: are any CPC MP ‘s thinking about defecting to the PPC?
“So you like the Liberals in power?”
No, but I refuse to reward the behavior of the CPC with my vote. I will not have them thinking that their actions are okay with me. If I do that they will *never* have any incentive to change.
Every vote for the PPC (or Maverick, or any similar party) sends a clear message to the CPC.
At a time when Trudeau should be under fire Justin is weaving and bobbing ,while Pierre is blocking punches with his face. Many who reluctantly were prepared to support him are questioning that support, but sure, it’s all our fault.
Uni-Party of Can Ahh Duh.
Kleptocracy is government by fools and bandits for the benefit of fools and bandits..
We can that Canada.
PP calls such theft and extortion..Good Government.
Never had a real job.
And it really shows.
According to 338Canada, the federal seat projection as of today is:
CPC – 142
LPC – 142
BQ – 32
NDP – 20
GPC – 2
https://338canada.com/
Even with a CPC lead in the polls the two main parties are tied in the projected seat count. The Lib-NDP coalition is thankfully short of a majority, even with Green support. So that leaves the Bloc as the kingmakers.
As an aside, there are — shamefully — only two parties in Canada that propose lowering immigration rates: the People’s Party and the Parti Quebecois. I’m not sure what the Bloc’s immigration policy looks like, but considering that they are basically the federal arm of the PQ it would not be surprising if they wanted to lower it as well.
So if Poilievre and the CPC want to form a minority government with Bloc support, the price extracted (among other things) might well be cutting immigration. It would be pretty ironic if small-c conservatives, who have pushed their party in vain for DECADES to lower immigration rates, had to wait for a leftist-separatist party to actually make it happen.
According to 338Canada, the federal seat projection as of today is:
338 “seat projection” is garbage. I don’t pay any attention to it after the last election. Their average of party support in percent terms actually came pretty close to the real popular vote in the election, but the seat projection they calculate based on those percentages was way off. They projected the CONS would get a plurality. Whereas the Libs were in reality ten seats or thereabouts short of a majority. It’s not “settled science”.
Sure, but a scenario where nobody has a majority and the Bloc holds the balance of power looks a fair bet right now.
Your scenario was the exact same seat distribution that put Harper in the PM’s chair. He did something to get Bloc support and there was nothing the combined Libs and NDP could do about it.
This time around it might be different. Junior’s not Mr. Dithers, he’s a narcissist sociopath with a long-nurtured power complex. If the Cons do not get an outright majority of seats, count on Junior to move heaven and earth to retain power, regardless of whether he has a plurality or not.
(I’ll be voting Libertarian once again.)
Getting rid of Trudeau the Piece of Shit should be the immediate goal.
The country is fiscally crippled and morally bankrupt.
Its foundation is corrupted.
It will take draconian measures to fix it: nuclear war or civil war.
My guess is that by the time the election comes voters will have had enough of the Bong and his shit that the Conservatives could run a Labrador dog and win. Think 1984 and Mulroney. The Bong is rapidly running out of excuses.
Everyday is is a bigger challenge. The civil service has had enough of him and is starting to rat him out. His strategy of yelling back at them is a losers game – they only double down.
The G&M and Global have got things on the Bong that could potentially sink him. He may be frog marched out before all this is over.
I had high hopes for PP. He didn’t quail before the assaults of the radical left like O’Foole did and he was pragmatic enough to realize he has to give some ground on issues like global warming in order to get elected. Appealing to the right isn’t enough, to win you need a considerable amount of the middle ground voters too.
But in caving to the radical left on this Anderson issue, I think he just lost the election. All the shyte coming at him from the left, the name calling, the false accusations of misogyny, racism, white supremacy, anti-scientism, fascism etc. had no effect on his popularity. I saw polls that had him in majority territory. And then he caved. To say I’m disappointed would be a massive understatement, he had been such a breath of fresh air compared to his predecessors up to that point.
He’s as gutless and nutless as O’Toole and Cher.
” And then he caved. To say I’m disappointed would be a massive understatement, he had been such a breath of fresh air compared to his predecessors up to that point.”
He sure talked a good line though, didn’t he?
Had me fooled too (briefly)
“And then he caved”
Yeah, like WOW. Surprising from a guy who kept his mouth shut for the better part of two years while our rights were pissed on by turdo, eh?
Yup ……. I simply sent a letter asking him why I should vote for him , after what he didn’t stand up for until he seen an opening.
There wasn’t much of an answer.
Well, I won’t be let down this time.

No. No, Mark. Its Pierre pussy-lèvres .. get it right.
As I said yesterday.
You can take the politician out of the W.E.F. but you cannot take the W.E.F. out of the politician.
I will be voting PPC. I don’t care if he wins or loses, but I will vote for the party closest to my beliefs.
If he wins (unlikely) then Canada has a chance at saving itself.
If he loses, then #Wexit becomes that much more likely.
Win/win.
Did mad max win any seats last go around?
Does he travel?
I haven’t seen him out west, or Lewis either for that matter.
Pierre has been all over Canada, with big crowds wherever he goes.
I wasted my vote on max last time and got what? Not one damn seat!
Unless Pierre pulls an O’Toole and says he won’t ax the carbon tax, build the pipelines or throw out that communists gun grab I’ll still give him a chance.
I
“Unless Pierre pulls an O’Toole and says he won’t ax the carbon tax, build the pipelines or throw out that communists gun grab I’ll still give him a chance.”
He’s counting on people like you to do just that.
And libs are counting on people like you.
All max is doing is splitting the vote.
How many seats does he have again?
He didn’t even win his seat!
