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."

told ya!
they wanna do away with those bothersome (S)elections …..
Just like Zelensky
This was inevitable. The NDP is bankrupt. They have no money to fight an election of any kind. So with Justatwit surging in the polls, he sees their slim-to-none prospects vanishing to nothing if there was an election. Trump gives him an excuse.
To paraphrase Henry II, “Will no one rid me of this troublesome Dip?”
At the moment it looks like Libranos stopped surging in the polls. There were two polls on Feb 24th that suggested that Libranos caught up (Ipsos and Ekos), between 25th and 3rd we had four polls all showing Cons in the lead: Abakus with 12 points, Nanos (smallest sample but only telephone one) with 2 points, Innovative Research with 7 points and Leger (yesterday) with 13 points. Poly market shows Poilievre with 65 to Carnage 36.

https://polymarket.com/event/next-prime-minster-of-canada?tid=1740561740568
So all in all not as great as could be but still strong Cons, Libs steady and below Cons, and NDP withering away. Now that Ford is done stealing wind from Poilievre it is only Trump that keeps prompting up Libranos.
The Nanos poll is self selecting. Some time ago, I put my name up for polling with Nanos. For the first little while I took part in some of the polls, but got bored with it and haven’t participating since. Self selecting polls (those without “margin of error”) are worthless.
1. Nanos polls have a margin of error. It is silly to suggest they don’t. What do you think margin of error is?
2. You can put your information in a database and the pollster may select you or not. The selection process is never perfect, there may be a correlation between response rates and demographics or particular preferences (like people preferring not to reveal information on some political issues) etc. It is a very difficult game to get a representative sample. Nanos selected you for some polls because your demographics reflected what Nanos thought their model needed to get a representative picture of the population in their sample.
3. Nanos poll was slightly above 1K observations. So from their database that is probably hundreds of thousands of potential observations they have sampled about 1K. Their assumption was that their sample would generate a representative picture of the population. That assumption is based on years of experience and without knowing their sampling design you’re not in a position to criticize it. I doubt the accuracy of the poll, but your understanding on how the polls was conducted is lacking severally.
What laws does he want to implement? I feel like I am living in a totalitarian state.
Implement laws? There is no parliament.
So much for the “emergency.”
Haha – Old Faithful
Hey Jagmeathead, how about our self imposed 20% tariff on ourselves from the weather tax coming on Apr 1?
Don’t forget that he, and all his fellow MPs (including Dingelfritz, who insists on sticking us for the cost of his groceries), get yet another raise on April 1.
Sure makes one proud to be Canadian, doesn’t it?
Did anyone seriously expect any different behavior from either Jagmeet or Trudeau? Seriously?
You know, there are MP’s living in Liberal held ridings that might, just might, respond positively to their Constituents. Can those Constituents be motivated, perhaps by real patriotism?
So, who here thinks that we will actually have an election in October now? The tariff war is going to bring what’s left of our economy to a grinding halt and I predict that Carney, once installed, will invoke the Emergency Act and suspend elections until things settle down. So never.
The US armed forces would take three days to take out Carney and any of the boneless wonders who pass for Canadian soldiers who are daft enough not to desert at the first shot fired in anger.
So whether Mark bothers with an election doesn’t matter. When Trump decides he’s had enough of Mark, that’ll be the end of Mark. Guaranteed.
Boneless wonders, eh? I take it you have never served in our Canadian Forces, nor said that to anyone wearing the uniform. If you get drunk and actually say it, it would be prudent to make sure your dental plan premiums are up to date beforehand.
Of course they’d have no trouble beating ME bloody. I’m just another wage-slave. I’m more interested in seeing how brave they are faced with a real army.
How many of them want to be the last to die for Mark Carney, I ask you?
Here’s the thing Kahane. Members of the Canadian Forces don’t fight for a Prime Minister. They fight for their country Canada.
And half of them push papers in an Ottawa office building. The Canadian military is a shadow, a sad excuse of what it was. The US military would wipe it out in an afternoon, if necessary.
Numbers, numbers, numbers. Thank the Liberals for that.
John the Mad, if the Trudeau government ordered the Canadian military to join forces with the police to confiscate all the guns held by private citizens it would do so without questioning the order.
It fights for the country all right, the country as determined and defined by the governing regime.
CAF told the Turd to F.O. when he wanted soldiers to go after the Freedom Convoy.
John, you are entirely correct. It’s obvious that KT never met any actual CF combat members.There were very good reasons why Canadian forces were recognized as the best infantry stationed in Germany in the 1970s. There were reasons why direct participation of Canadians in Afghanistan was so desired by the US and British.
In fact his contemptible spouting of this ignorant opinion makes his the most ridiculous comment on SDA for at least the past month.
Just so.
John, your comment about them fighting for Canada, not Carney, is entirely correct. All members of the forces live by the Canadian military credo. It was born in April 1917 when the Canadian army achieved the impossible at Vimy Ridge. It was confirmed repeatedly during WW2 in Italy, Normandy, the liberation of the Netherlands. And again during the horrors of Korea and the severe fighting in the Yugoslav civil war.
They serve and fight because they are defending Canada and its values, not some twerp called Carney.
cghCOLON
You would do well in CAF, as you are stump stupid, kinda like Jessica the COLON.
Well, that used to be true. Many “wearing the uniform” in the Canadian military these days push paper, make coffee or walk around with their “look busy kits”.
Yup, that’s how it was when my nephew went to Afghanistan.
But now they are a woke armed forces. Gotta wonder how the trannie soldiers fight.
Mad john
“Members of the Canadian Forces don’t fight for a Prime Minister. They fight for their country Canada.”
Now that’s some phunny shit rite there bwoi. Many are in the ‘service’ because they’re too stupid for the real world
For those unaware GYM got shitcanned from Canadian Military after basic.
Folks… I tried. It took all my strength to resist responding to yet another of gym’s witty retorts /s, but I just couldn’t let this go by.
I worked with the CAF in several contracts. I have the utmost respect for people who sign up to defend (what’s left of) this country.
I know of many veterans as well as military personnel, and I can tell you that my personal experience with the f0rces’ personal has been nothing but stellar. These people command respect, and they’ve earned it, and so it’s one thing for gym to spew his tirades all over this blog, it’s another when he starts tarnishing the reps of those who signed up to serve.
As much as I admire the good people leading the military life, like everything else in this global landscape, it’s the leadership that I have a problem with. A leadership who has shown little to no support for the fighting f0rces, and that needs to change.
As for gym, I’d say hand him a rifle and send him off to the front lines for him to get a taste of what it’s like to be a soldier, but on second thought, handing a gun to someone like gym would be dangerous. Not only to himself, but to everyone around him.
Three days…..more like three hours….the 10th mountain division lives 2.5 hours away.
the other half hour is for a Tim’s stop in Kempville.
vanish vanish vanish
into the ether they go. no trace there or anywhere.
John, When the PM and his Party are clearly the enemy of your country, Canada, what then?
I have to laugh every time I see Ragmeet and think ‘this guy is in the running for prime minister’? LOL
He’s such a joke that he could have been a candidate for the Rhino Party of Canada. The only problem for him is that the Rhino Party only had good jokes.
That’s insulting to the Rhinos. Very much back in the day, managed to purchase a ?Vice Presidency for Dad; it was a two-for-one special so I got one m’self. Wish I knew where the certificate was, though.
The tusk before us is great.
— the rest will bore you, we will gore you.
— some don’t see the point, but we are the point.
— double down on crazy or vote Liberal, it’s all the same really except we know it.
Take a good look at your de facto Prime Minister, folks.
Andy Lee, living her best life ever…

Hahaha! I take it that is a maple leaf logo on the LHS of the placard.
When I clicked to follow the link, and the image first appeared, I read it as “F Mark Carney”.
It took me a bit to catch onto the maple leaf thing and that it wasn’t a fancy ‘F’. I was thinking, “Man, these Canadians are a tough crowd.”
What a vile, sick disgusting creature. And we’re not supposed to get violent.
Now we’ll have two unelected defacto PMs. I’m sure the people will be fine with being told what to do without having a say through an election campaign and ultimately their vote. After all, one in five Canadians agree on that.
Leger just announced the Carney/Trump/Trudeau gone bump has turned into a dump, thanks to Trudeau continuing his radical regal rule, like the CBC, with nobody watching or caring, with CPC support back, with Liberals simply sniping NDP votes thanks to Singh, easily the worst political leader, inconceivably with even worse judgment.
Welcome to “our democracy,” this time with perfect timing to crater Liberal, no pipelines BQ and NDP support.
My advice to future (elected) PM Poilievre is keep giving them enough rope to hang themselves once and for all.
Wow. You sure have high hopes for slavish Liberal supporters doing the right thing for once. Wish I could be as confident.
Shamrock, agreed. More rope is always a good idea. Carney showed just how useless he was at politics after his dismal performance at both Liberal leadership debates. When he climbs in the ring with Polievre, it will be beer and popcorn time. Carney’s only experience has been with corporate boardrooms and conferences.
Of course that’s his opinion. We don’t need an election until the emergency is over on January 20th, 2029 or if Vance is elected too, then January 20th, 2033, or 2037
Gee..

Totally not surprised BUT the libs need an election to give Carnage a seat in Parliament.. Where is he going to sit?. In the viewing gallery :)..
It might be good to do away with the fiction that Canada’s fake Parliament serves any purpose.
John, he won’t sit in the House. He doesn’t actually need to have a seat to be PM. This has happened before in Canadian history.
There are open seats in British Columbia and Quebec. Additionally, I’m sure he could dangle a senate appointment to get one of the quitters to leave their “safe” seat.
As Justin was holding hands with Zelenskyy walking up the stairs at emergency EU security summit they shared points of how not to have elections. Martial law vs Emergency Act, it’s the thought that counts when it comes to authoritarianism!
Don’t read to much into that, they were just discussing after dinner plans…..
Best circus act in clown town!
an asshat, with hat
If this is what passes for Canadian political wisdom then we’re going to get crushed. Might want to consider swapping out some of your canbucks for some precious metals before these clowns make our currency utterly worthless.
It appears as though MY President knew exactly what the leadership of Canada was really all about. Your country is a fascist Dictatorship. The people are mere subjects. Mere wage slaves and remitters of taxes. Your country hates its people.
THAT is your Emergency
Marx the Carney encouraging Canadians to boo the American national anthem.
I might boo the other side each and every time they touch the puck, but the anthem booing is very poor form.
There was a time not so long ago, when the power went out or the amplifiers were dysfunctional that both sides sang the other’s anthem.
Hey! The NFL sanctioned and televised multi-millionaire black football professionals kneeling on our National Anthem because a criminal was arrested for passing counterfeit money and died after he swallowed all the drugs he had on him.
I don’t expect your booing will have any effect on us whatsoever. Esp. since the NHL never sanctioned and televised all your Native Canadian players kneeling on the ice because Mass Graves at Catholic schools or something. Why didn’t the NHL capitalize on Trudeau’s “George Floyd” moment?
Come on NHL! You can do better than booing OUR anthem …
Ezra has a vid of The Turd encouraging booing as well. Disgusting!
The Alberta-Saskatchewan Army recruiting yet?
What laws NEED to be passed? Northern shitholistan has a bazillion of them already. This is the good news about parliment not working is that there are no new dumb laws.
Is anyone here surprised? So we get an installed PM from a manipulated leadership process quite likley well into 2026,or who knows, possibly even longer. Even who can vote for the new leader (dictator) appears to be subverted . Somehow questioning this process and the democray of it is a “stupid” comment according to some. There is far more that has happened than I have time to detail ,including what appears to be criminal, so it is my opinion that most of the problems we will be experiencing are made in Canada.
“Tonight, Mark Carney refused to allow Western Standard reporters into his campaign event in Calgary, again.
Last time, he outright lied afterward and said he allowed all local media in.”

I was wondering what that awful sewer like stench was. Now I know it was Carnage and the Lieberal Horde stinking up the place.
This guy is incompetent, even by Canadian standards. When Carney is installed, if he decides an election is the right thing, we’ll have one. Jag’s party is polling at 11, does he think the Libranos will do him a solid until it comes back up? “Hey I supported you!!” “Sucks to be you, I’m off to see the GG”
So, is it October now or next year?
The actual crowd was old balding lesbians – now that’s an important constituency!
“Jagmeet Singh says because we’re in an emergency, now is not the time for an election.”
How can it be such an emergency that it’s not top priority to call Parliament back into session?
Some emergency, huh?
says pretty much every dictator ever.
If your not ruling with the will of the people and you promise to resume to normal at some indefinite point in the future your a dictator until elections are resumed.
Its been 3 months since Canada had a legislature?
Not sure how jagmeet Singh gets to be in power, Australia and NZ the power passes to some other elected official in the same party as decided by the party, they go to the governor general to be appointed prime minister, they may then call for a immediate election.
Parliament may itself call for a dissolution but Parliament needs to be in session to do that.
I know it’s a bad joke isn’t it.
And we expect another politician from another country to have respect for what?
A PM that pretends he holds Canada close to his heart, bah.
Canada lets this happen, it’s barely controlled chaos, and Canadians put up with it.
And politicians of all stripes are not sure how to settle things down.
Pierre has ideas but he seems to drift from one play to the next.
But it is a sad joke how voters overlook how they are taken for granted.
We probably can’t imagine the tricks that are coming our way, with this dirty mess.
From the Liberals.
Because Kanadians are awestruck by shiny baubles; aka free stuff from their god government.
Singh has a strange ad out, saying that he is an immigrant po’r boy, who never wanted to be a politician. He learned in law school, that Canada’s justice system favours elites. So instead of working in the legal system, he became a politician with zero experience to run anything.
He even had to move to win a seat. He has proved to be a sycophant, who will just take $$ away from working Canadians for expensive programs that no one can afford.
Please go away.
I think by now the lieberal strategy should be very clear.
First, the turd won’t resign immediately when the party selects a new leader, based on his response to a reporter’s question during his presser, when he said that he had to have discussions with the new leader to figure out a transition period.
Well, ya know what? Carnage doesn’t have a seat in the house, and we can’t have a PM sit in the gallery, so guess who stays on the thrown: King Turd!
Now Jughead Singe signals that we shouldn’t have an election immediately, backing away from his promise to pull the plug on this illegitimate government at the earliest convenience. That’ll be the second time he broke that promise.
There are those that are saying that there are signals that an election will be called for late April, but I’m not so sure. At this point, there could be a number of twists between now and then, but I am sure of one thing: That the lying lieberals will do just about anything to cling to power, so don’t be too surprised if things don’t go according to plan. It’s quite possible that we won’t see an election in 2025, or even 2026, if ever. The turd will declare another emergency and cancel any elections, save a byelection to get Carnage a seat so that he can assume the role of PM.
Didn’t his pension vest? So he can leave now?
