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."

One of additional benefits to the USA with taking out Maduro and securing Venezuela’s oil exports… if only for a bargaining chip and not as an absolute supply of all their oil
Haven’t seen any mention of this in the regular media aside from “China wants Venezuela’s oil”
This X post states 800,000 bpd but the online view of this says 400k
https://x.com/bxieus/status/2008696299328053373
Nice somali daycare video….we really need someone to start looking at this in Toronto and environs…
“Water Valley is an unincorporated village in the shadow of the Alberta Rockies. There’s maybe 400 people in this settlement. The nearest large village is Cremona.
There are at least 300 people here on a Tuesday night to learn about why Confederation is broken and why Alberta must leave to save itself.
This is also the first event where official canvassers are collecting signatures in a petition to force a separation referendum.
The separatist movement is real and growing folks.”
https://x.com/Martyupnorth/status/2008733576444211614
I should mention though, this is a solidly conservative area of AB. Federally about 70% for the Conservative, provincially about 60% for the United Conservative Party.
Hence the reason for the fear mongering that we’re going to invade you. This isn’t about us; it’s about the independence movements.
I hear somebody connected to your media just insinuated that Pollievre is a foreign influence agent or some such. Those dingbats I like to bring up mentioned it yesterday as well, along with Danielle Smith — the memo went out, huh?
This is likely to be the trucker protest on steroids.
I expect lies, damned lies, and statistics on steroids… as you know who once said.
3 of my 4 social media accounts are showing a great increase in federal / nationalist ads against AB separation, of that maybe half is the type we expect to see each year prior to “Canada Day” July 1st, and the other half is “you’ll never make it without us” … we’ll know they’re truly spooked if the F/A 18’s are flown from Cold Lake Air Force Base.
Foreign influenced MP’s? in the past few months we haven’t heard much about the 11 #Librano MP’s who are actually influenced by the mainland Chinese.
Garbage MSM on steroids…
I always report those government propaganda ads as inappropriate.
I can’t remember the media personality’s name, bald dude if that helps. His media X account is inactive, but he posts on his personal.
The attached, I feel, is a pretty good perspective on Venezuelan oil.
A couple of notes:
1. Trump has “guaranteed” China supply.
2. This article does not mention Canadian oil. It presumes it.
3. I think the Keystone XL is a better idea.
4. Biden pissed away the US strategic reserve.
5. The most effing important thing is the leverage a swift, successful, and profoundly popular petition can provide.
So…

Quiet on the outside, a storm on the inside; it’s why many trannies erupt into violence:

I have a long time friend who is thrilled that her daughter became a boy at the age of 11. Put the girl on puberty blockers (so no breast development, no periods) and the girl is now 22 years old. I have known the daughter since the age of 2 and she has ALWAYS had anger management issues. Besides the puberty blockers at $ 500/month, the parents pay a psychiatrist $ 200/week for the daughter’s visits. I truly believe that by the age of 30, the daughter will erupt in violence against her parents when she finally realizes how “hooped” she is.
Yeah but can she/he/it now stand to pee without making a bloody mess?
She’s 22 and not yet killed herself? I’m amazed. My cousin’s grand-daughter made it to 20. 100 pounds soaking wet and identified as a dude.
No need for Trump to invade Canada as he can just buy it (cheap) from tribal chiefs:

Denmark and other Euro nations may nix the idea but I have yet to read or hear what Greenlanders think.
They are the ones who own Greenland, not the Danish government.
Push comes to shove, Denmark stills calls the shots there — it’s an autonomous zone, not a sovereign country (hmmm…?).
The Greenlanders are split — the Chinese have been influencing an independence movement up there for a while (funny, that one didn’t get much press, did it?). They’ve also got around 4-5K workers there still (don’t quote me on that one, but I believe they still do), and…they wanted permission to construct bases (that didn’t get as much press either) — some want closer connection to the U.S. and others just want to see if they can make money off anyone and still get welfare payouts from Denmark.
This is likely why my government wants full control of the place — we can neither trust Denmark, which has a bit of a progressive problem, nor greedy Greenlanders not to allow China to take over.
Sound familiar?
Thanks for that info.
And yes, China is doing all it can to expand its Arctic influence and reach, with an eye to territorial claims.
Don’t flame me for this. Trump has done many wonderful things: Iran, Venezuela, Burying Tim Walz. But then there is the Trump Mouth, which does nothing but help the dark side. Iranians and Venezueland are struggling and dying to become free, and Trump has done a great deal to help them.But with these two compelling fights ongoing, why does he mouth off about Greenland? Greenland can wait. The same can be said about mouthing off about Canada as the 51st state. All it that did was to help Mark Carney wiin the last federal election.
No, it really can’t.
Have you been tracking where those tankers from Venezuela have been going? The ones that switched their flags. Do that and again (I sound like a broken record): look at the map.
Two tankers taken by US Special Forces. One off coast of Iceland this morning and one in the Caribbean just announced by CBS news. Both tankers linked to Venezuela and US sanctions
“All it that did was to help Mark Carney wiin the last federal election.”
So is Canada stronger or weaker now?
Does it serve the USA’s interests to have a divided,bankrupt country,brimming with natural resources, lying naked on their border?
And talk is cheap,our professional politicians yammer on ,lying 24/7..
President Trump has done more,in much less time than decades of “Public Servants”.
“Trump Mouth” seems to work real good,diverting attention,enflaming the pearl clutchers and lying fools,as real actions happen under that cover.
And both issues,Greenland and Canada have some stark truths ,weak unreliable countries,that would both be better off under direct USA management.
Which will happen,unless the West forms a real country first.
Canada is doomed,the death throws are horrible to observe.
Given current Canadian trends the USA will have to move in and pick off the pieces or face chaos on their northern border.
The “Elbows Up!” retards always existed and voted Lieberal simply because Marx Carnage was parachuted in to replace TurdHole. The election results would have still resulted in a Lieberal minority government even without the 51st state comments. Kanadians, especially from the over represented Centre of the Universe, are really that stupid.
Andrew Coyne opines from on high that Donald Trump is stupid and moronic:

He claims he uses Occam’s Razor to come up with that profundity.

By the way, my favorite couple has been on a roll:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5byQukwVnew
They apparently did some white monkey work as well as those features on the BBC…makes sense.
Ok…what they said about the U.S. military I take a bit personally…they seem to have also forgotten that Canadian troops were deployed to Afghanistan too…I’ve noticed a fair amount of that from some corners. They seem to love that new, spirited 300K citizen army of yours though (wonder if they’re getting paid to recruit people? how’s that one going by the way? I take it perhaps not as well as reported?)
And the healthcare remarks were pure comedy.
Are they not precious?
Thanks for giving them greater exposure.
Pablum for the massed morons?
When the referendum campaign starts,they will be the poster children for Laurentian Can Ahh Duh.
Funny how our “betters” seek laws prohibiting “Hate Speech” and Misinformation and then fund creatures like these.
It is lost on our Eastern and Urban comrades,that their attitude toward Americans is identical to their treatment of Western Canada.
The comments are special as well.
Public Education has been a glorious success.
A lot of the comments may be bots, but they are definitely being used to influence. They’re parroting (in their syrup-y, folksy way) your government’s daily talking points. They’ve even changed up their delivery in the past few weeks: now they say things aren’t perfect, but by golly, gosh darn it! Canada’s pretty darn close to it!
Pablum? Well, they certainly are insipid, but they’ve been going hardcore on the fear porn messaging for the past month. I like giving them exposure because of that most of all: I’m sure they do have some organic audience, and that audience is getting a real dose of the good gris-gris lately.
Your favorite couple is on a roll? But their healthcare comments are pure comedy?
I honestly don’t know what to make of your comments … but I do know for a FACT that their comments about American healthcare is mostly utter bullshit. For starters, no … you don’t have to spend a dime on Obamakkare. You can simply make a one-time payment to the IRS for NOT having healthcare insurance. That FEDERAL penalty was eliminated in 2019, but here in CA … you pay $900/adult, $450/child to the Franchise Tax Board and that’s it. Then, you can just show up in any ER anywhere and get FREE care (if you are truly poor and couldn’t afford the medical care at all). But if you are paying $3,000/mo. for a shitty “Bronze” Obamakkare plan with high deductibles.… then your income is anything but Poor House poor. I suggest their “friends” in America are doing quite well … but they don’t have employer medical coverage, nor do they want to pay for their own. The example family are typical of the ones I know who take 4-vacations to Disneyworld every year … but don’t have funds for their own healthcare. They want the goodies, but don’t want to pay for the essentials.
And yeah … if you want employer-provided healthcare, then you better be a fkcuing decent worker who isn’t bitching at your employer constantly. What? You believe Freedom is Free? You have all the Freedom of the US Constitution to tell your employer to fkcu right off! To their face. On a full inter office email. But, yeah, you’ll likely be let go and lose your health insurance. Your choice. Your Freedom. As if we don’t all make these minor “caged” decisions on a daily basis. Puhleeze. So Canadians are more FREE to tell their employers to fkcu right off!? And then queue up for a lengthy wait for rationed care? Now that’s Freedom, eh?
I know for personal fact that America provides silver, if not gold-plated healthcare FREE to every person in this land who TRULY cannot afford it. It’s a LIE that American’s taxes are not being spent lavishly on Medicaid for ALL who need it. And their care isn’t rationed.
The biggest problem today is the utter LIES told about American healthcare. And don’t get me started about the underground economy, where $Hundreds of Billions in cash transactions make well-paid workers “appear” poor on paper … enabling them to collect 100% of every welfare program available … from housing, to food, to daycare, to full medical care, and much more.
BTW … this fine, intelligent, nice, Canadian couple’s REAL LIFE American friends who have to pay $3,000/mo. for their health insurance with huge deductibles? Well, they’re NOT on Obamakkare as the income limit is $128,600/yr. If you make more than that (as a family of 4), then you have to buy private insurance. And at that income, their max. Obamakkare premium is $9,899/yr.
So they’ve proven themselves to be very poor shoppers of health insurance since they can do much better than that premium cost. How? They can buy a “high deductible plan”. I have one of those, and it drops my Premium radically. What’s the “high deductible”? It’s $2,800/yr. That drops my premium cost by 90%. And yeah, at their incomes they should be able to find $2,800 without any trouble.
Whenever anyone tries to create some mythical US healthcare “victim” … they always FAIL to tell the truth … the whole truth. These people are utter fools and tools.
The anti-Islamic protests in Iran are spreading:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cre28d2j2zxo
Apologies for using BBC Verify, but the news coverage of the new Iranian revolution is beyond atrocious. Also look for an announcement soo of Israel bombing Iran military installations. There are also online claims of senior Iranian officials defecting, but nothing substantial as yet.
Day 11 Tousi TV’s next report to cover defections from the Iranian police and Iranian military to the anti-Islamic revolution.
Mahyar Tousi, host of Tousi TV, has just reported that Russian media have announced the Islanic Republic of Iran regime has fallen.
