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."

The libdip bought and payed for media is at full throttle. Trying to catch up to the education industry.
Buy Canadian.
Shop at Walmart and Costco.
That is just too funny and so true.
I have the same stupidity here – Americans bad, 24-7. Where do the shop? Across the “creek”.
Where did they vacation last month? Florida.
Where do they buy a little real estate to park their trailer…which to them was a symbol of white trash but mysteriously not anymore. Arizona.
And on and on it goes. Dumbasses.
Axe the CO2 tax! Tax the polluters.
No US booze-beer on the shelf for joo. But $1 beer?
You tariff your people? We tariff ours too!
China EV tariff, yup? US EV tariff FU2!
I see it all around me everyday……
it is all the result of politishuns obsessively focussing on a *single* aspect of yet another complex soci-political-economic issue. aka ‘be careful what you wish for’
Yes, if Trump and CO2 were banished Canadians would be living on the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Lack of rental dwellings.
Increase rental regulations.
This is what I have observed all my life
Catching Wild Pigs
WELL, AND TRULY SAID…THEY KEEP NIBBLING AWAY UNTIL THEY
HAVE EATEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY…
Catching Wild Pigs Karl Marx once said, “Remove one freedom per
generation, and soon you will have no freedoms and no one will have
noticed.” There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had
some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the
lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept
rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor
asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a
bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in
his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government
and install a new communist regime.
Then, the student looked at the professor and asked a strange question,
“Do you know how to catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch
line. The young man said that it was no joke. “You catch wild pigs by
finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The
pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food. When they
are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place
where they are used to coming. At first they are scared, but when they get
used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another
side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again.
You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the
last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate onthem and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.
They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.
Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that
they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they
accept their captivity.” The young man then told the professor that is
exactly what he sees happening in America & Canada. The government keeps
pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn
out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for
unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies,
payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs,
etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a
time. One should always remember two truths: 1 There is no such thing as
a free lunch, and 2 You can never hire someone to provide a service for
you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this
wonderful government “help” is a problem confronting the future of
democracy in America & Canada, you might want to share this with your
friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life,
then you will probably not share this. BUT, God help us all when the gate
slams shut. Think about this:
“Most of the problems we face as a country today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.”
Why can’t Seattle or any other city control the rioters and looters? https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-186432-1.html
Catching Wild Pigs

100% true
As a freshman in HS … I had a world history teacher who described the American political system and governance … and I have never forgotten his phrase since 1971 … as … “creeping Communism”. He proceeded to cite the expansion of centralized government, expansion of all welfare programs, and dependence on government handouts as evidence.
And to everyone’s shock … and to some people’s horror … that all came to a screeching HALT on Jan. 20, 2025. It only took my fellow Americans 54 years to wake up to this fact.
Marx Carney’s daughter Sasha is 24 years old, that’s well outside anyone’s “childhood” years.
I don’t blame Sasha for what’s gone on with her, I’d suggest there was significant parentage guidance during her teen years which led to her taking the road she has.
Some of the people coming to the defence of “children” being off limits … it’s not so different from the Treyvon Martin photos showing him as a 14 years old and none of what he actually looked like just prior to his death.
My wife is going to post on FB heavily while in Hawaii, just to inform/annoy her “frenz” online.
The US is a dangerous place after all.
Meanwhile, China executed 4 hyphenated citizens.
Sometimes those MaiTais can be dangerous, gotta admit!
I’m not on Facebook … but my wife is. I need your wife’s page so my wife can be entertained. And I volunteer to buy her a few of those Mai Tais to get things going!
well there ya have it. my life/career experience is absolute proof of this summation.
started @ $1.80 an hour 1970 operating DEC PDP-10 (l think the 10 was the price in millions, the joke was after mgmt paid for it nothing left for the staff)
fast forward 2019 lacking $10,000 and still robust l shingled my own roof.
l had 6 siblings all of whom were independently employed at some point.
dice it up dice it up dice it up
why is that necessary??????????????????????????????????
If roofing in spring or autumn, bravo.
If in summer or winter, Gunga Din.

fp … your life sounds as REAL as mine. $1.80/hr in 1973 working at Tom Terry’s EXXON gas station as a Junior in HS. Had to rebuild my own home, myself (mostly) 3x …
So fascinating…
You should start your own blog.
To my Canadian Friends … I give you Naive Melody by the Talking Heads from Stop Making Sense. Because you’re not making sense anymore … and David Byrnes description of the song pretty well summarizes the current Canadian mind virus.
That’s a love song made up almost completely of non sequiturs, phrases that may have a strong emotional resonance but don’t have any narrative qualities.

I consider myself very lucky to have seen this tour. It’s in my top 10 concerts. Here’s some brainwashing.

Funny how the so-called betters would relentlessly attack companies advertising their products in a free market but masks, lockdowns etc. by so-called scientists and public health officials is the word of G*d.
Stop Making Me Jealous! That must have been something. Stop Making Sense remains (in light) one of the top 3 … if not #1 greatest concert video of all. The band was sooooooo tight and in-sync.
Did your concert start with the lone boombox on the stage to start Psycho Killer?
Ce que j’ai fait ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire
Okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nice cut
‘Did your concert start with the lone boombox on the stage to start Psycho Killer?’
Yes. The venue was Kingswood Music Theatre at the newly opened Canada’s Wonderland. Huge stage so the effect was even better. People had no idea what was going on. Gone now, but saw a lot of great shows – Talk Talk, The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs, amongst them.
Awesome! You must be slightly younger than me as New Wave, post-punk Pop, Indie music was the second phase of my personal music journey. My best friend and fellow professional compatriot is 4-years younger than me … and fully immersed me in all this wave of music … starting with Robert Fripp and King Crimson … not to mention Television
