  1. Today while out hunting I happened to pass by the KXL pipe yard west of my place. The pipe has been racked there for what 5,6, 7 years? River crossings are complete.
    Anyway the gate to the yard was open, a crane was working and pipe trucks were evident so I pulled in and asked what was going on.
    One of the guys said they were moving the pipe to a new location in northern BC.
    I guess KXL is officially over. A tragedy by any definition.

  2. After watching Obama @ Fort Lee last night, his answer to why he didn’t use the words ”Radicalized Islamic terrorists” was because normal Muslims would not understand… That kinda suggests that he thinks all Muslims are not capable of rational thought. Something is surly missing
    Then I realized that the Global World Government MUST be able to deal with Muslims, we may be the Lab Rats that Social Engineers need to find the way to change Vinegar (Muslims) into Sugar (Christians)
    It will not work. Muslims have the same right to exist in the world without dominance, and remember that Sugar does change into Vinegar… The Global World Government may be deadly to all of us…

    “In all, 110 long-eared evacuees have so far made the 3,600-km cross-continent journey, by truck and plane, to the Retired Rabbit sanctuary near San Antonio. It’s the Texas facility’s biggest-ever shipment of rescued rabbits, and the first to arrive from a foreign country—though it’s unlikely to be the last…the total cost to taxpayers (including relocation): $33,000 and counting.”

    “‘State of Fear’ by Michael Crichton Could Be the ‘1984’ of Climate Alarmism”
    “Revived today the best novel on “global warming” could be explosive.”
    “Guest essay by Walter Donway
    I guess that if I discovered “State of Fear” by Michael Crichton eleven years after its publication in 2004–reading it last summer with indsecribable surprise and joy–you can tolerate a a year-old review.
    This book could be the 1984 of “Big Climate Alarmism.” After George Orwell took on “doublespeak,” people never listened to political rhetoric in the same way. Whatever you think of the controversial “Atlas Shrugged,” by Ayn Rand, do you think arguments for the “greed” of businessmen and the moral loftiness of statism will ever be heard the same way?”

  6. LNG prices have tanked. Our leader fiddled while the market burned.
    Relax folks you won’t have to worry about those nasty tankers travelling the pristine coast of BC. The project will never proceed.

  7. “The Global World Government may be deadly to all of us…”
    Not may be, but will be deadly for freedom of the individual. We can already see in the Canada that collective thought and action takes precedent over the individual.

  9. *We can already see in the Canada that collective thought and action takes precedent over the individual.*
    Good timing. I have on my desk a letter from former Canada Tidesman, now Vancouver mayor, Gregor Moonbat.
    It calls for public input into a proposed “empty house” tax.
    The basis for the proposed tax is that these empty houses are sorely needed to relieve the tight rental market. But owners of principal residences will be GENERALLY exempt.

  10. Just read a pamphlet put out by Fair Vote Canada on why Canada should adopt a Proportional Representation methodology in our electoral process vice our long established First Past the Post system. The pamphlet’s arguments are so full of holes and mis-truths that they are progressive gobblely gook. They make the claim that Canada has one of the most unstable governments of established democracies because of our electoral process. They cite Italy as an example of electoral stability and fairness by comparing Canada’s election record (22) as opposed to Italy (18) since 1945. They cite PR as the fundamental reason for electoral stability in Italy and many other countries. They fail to mention however that Italy has had over 65 governments since the second world war. Or that Belgium went without a government for over a year or that nations such as Sweden have become basket cases.
    Fair Vote Canada is a Canadian grass roots organization that must be challenged. They have chapters across this country and pose a major threat to our democratic voting process. If they win their case and Canada adopts PR there will never be a right of centre government in this country ever again. And that is the real motivation behind this movement.
    Check out their web site at Fair Vote Canada and have a look at their rogue’s gallery. All of the usual suspects are there such as Suzuki, May, Mulcair, Dion and on and on she goes. All left wingers who would dearly love a PR system as it will give them power and credibility, even with less that 4% of the national vote – Greens with 3.7% in 2015 would have 15 seats under PR, even though they only represent one riding on Vancouver Island with the majority of their support on the West Coast or on PEI.
    The Conservative Party of Canada has to wake up to this threat and fight this movement with all of their resources.

  11. Have you ever seen a president mocked like BHO? American’s are usually reluctant to criticize a sitting president out of respect for the office. No longer. Zero is the subject of ridicule and scorn on a daily basis. It’s really quite remarkable. He is really a prideless fool – unfit at any level. My heart bleeds for America.

  12. “Zero is the subject of ridicule and scorn on a daily basis. It’s really quite remarkable. He is really a prideless fool – unfit at any level. My heart bleeds for America.”
    Obama’s reasoning is childish lawyer babble…He talks out of both sides of his mouth.
    His answer to Football Players disrespecting the Flag & Anthem is like a civic’s lesson for
    children or new citizens. Yes every person has a first amendment Right to free speech, but that doesn’t mean you have a right to hit on the Widow at her husbands funeral.. Those football players that disrespected 9/11 need to be separated from the NFL..It will give them time to hold demonstrations at a bowling ally.

  13. Why are the NDP too stupid to realize the Grits would bury them in a PR system? Furthermore, the Greens and fringers would eat their lunch.
    PR is idiotic. It destroys the link between constituent and representative delegate parliamentarian with the party leader picking from a list.
    Then we will have super ridings, you see. So it all make sense to dismantle our electoral system and functioning of our parliament.
    Clearly no need for a referendum. Will the courts stop them? I’m not so sure.
    Nobody has clearly answered how, for instance 39% of the popular vote only gets you 39% of the seats, not 54% for the Grits as now.
    They don’t want to know and they don’t want you to know.
    Most votes go to one candidate, some other person is the MP. Yes, that’s more “democratic.” Common sense truly is a superpower.

    “On the hidden horrors of Soviet life.”
    “The house is on fire!”
    “Ninety-nine years ago, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, and, after a few months of weak parliamentary rule, the Bolsheviks seized power. We call that seizure the Russian (or October) Revolution, but it might better be designated the Bolshevik coup d’état. A party of 10,000 people gained control of an empire occupying one-sixth of the earth’s land area.
    From the start, they made up for their small numbers with outsized violence. If at first their executions of liberals, socialists, workers who showed independence, and peasants from whom grain was seized at gunpoint seemed like a short-term necessity, it soon became evident that the violence would never stop. In fact, it was to grow, with Stalin proclaiming “the intensification of the class struggle” when Bolshevik control had long been total.”

  15. I would still like to know more about the history of Liberal Minister Monsef. This all needs further investigating and she should step down until it is cleared up. Why is the Opposition not on this?

  16. Very interesting re the Bolsheviks. I believe there are other examples of the small ruthless minority seizing power. For example, most in Irsn did not want a theocracy. The chaos of Revolution often brings unexpected and unwanted results. In the Middle East (possibility elsewhere) the Muslim Brotherhood is ever ready to fill any temporary vacuum.
