  1. Love it, at the 2:42 point a map comes up with the Saskatoon-HudsonBay Air Route.
    Great vid, never heard of these air routes before.

  2. October 16, 1970. In the farmhouse I grew up in it was known as “The yellow bastard shit his pants and called in the troops Day”.

  3. Good opinion piece about that the Liberal government has yet to make the Foreign Agents Registry operational:

    (under the usual paywall)

    The gist of the editorial is that the corrupt Trudeau government did pass a law authorizing the creation of the foreign agent registry, but then sat on its hands and did nothing to fund and implement it. As was well known, Trudeau detested anything that had to do with public safety and national defense. And he loved to hob-nob with despotic governments doing the spying.

  4. Here’s my take on Trudeau’s implementation of the War Measures Act, done 55 years ago this coming October. I was an immigrant and poor, living in a fairly large rooming house in Hull, Quebec (Gatineau today). The building had maybe 20 roomers in it, maybe with half immigrants and half low-income French Canadians. I had to work at a day-labour place, under the table, in Ottawa maybe a four mile walk from the rooming house, to make end meet. Unlike today all the immigrants were white.

    Anyways, during the October crisis all the roomers would crowd into the living room to watch the continuing news on black-and-white TV. I think it was two or three days after Pierre LaPorte was murdered that Trudeau implemented the War Measures Act. We all were watching the news on TV as it was being announced, when the RCMP came in unannounced and began to search the building. I went room to room with the head plainclothes officer, with the guy searching everything and simultaneously explaining to me the ins and outs of the Act. I got the impression that he and his fellow officers were looking for drugs more than anything else. In the mornings and evenings I had to pass through two military check-points, on each end of the Interprovincial Bridge. I was pleasant to the young soldiers, who got used to me after two days and would wave me through with no questions.

    So I must break company with SDAers and say I was against Trudeau’s response to the FLQ. The funny thing about Trudewu the Elder is that he starved the military but did invest in military resources to intimidate the lay public. A few years later his government bought 120 large armored personel carriers, all based within our borders. A few years later the G7 meetings were held in Ottawa, and military helicopters and the personal carriers went hither and yon, more to impress the other G7 leaders. This was before mass leftist demonstrations. Ottawa back then was just overpaid federal bureaucrats and minimum wage workers who looked after them.
