“I was visiting Alberta last week, and I heard the same thing over and over again.
Albertans from a variety of industries and backgrounds, from energy to education, from real-estate developers to rig mechanics, told me the same thing: Canada is not working.
For many Albertans, the Canadian experiment seems to be failing. For some, the West wants out.”
Canada has never worked for anybody who isn’t a Bay Street bloodsucker or one of their Librano clients.
I’m with you on this issue. Big question is, who in Alberta has the balls, and the wherewithal to make this happen? I have been beating the separation drum ever since Truedick’s old man had a shot at killing us off!
Same here, been interested since the late 70’s, even joined the WCC who promptly shot themselves in the foot when Doug Christie defended a pro-nazi. The logic of separation at that time was solid, but Canadians are an acquiescent people, far too comfortable to rock the boat too much.
We lie to ourselves every four years that THIS TIME a different Party in Office will make a difference. Yeah, big difference, Desmarais and company will give orders to the PM no matter what color tie he wears, as long as it’s subservient blue or red.
I seriously doubt we will ever again see a viable Western Separation Party arise, the Eastern power cartel will pay off our power elites just enough to keep them happy, and we aren’t exactly the type of people who raise revolutionaries, more of our kids are government job seekers than Cromwells. Most we can hope for is another grassroots movement like Reform but that won’t go anywhere given the eastern stranglehold on this country.

I’ve moved on from rage to knowledge. The knowledge that as the system or scam referred to as equalization becomes ever more sophisticated to allow the creature to survive, that the system cannot sustain its existence and will eventually collapse from external forces outside of the country.
The pun is that those that have never depended on equalization will survive, those that have not are destined to be one of the losers of Darwinism.

The United States and Turkey, as of the second week of August 2018, are ready to break off diplomatic relations as a result of broad US sanctions on Turkey. However, not only is Turkey a full NATO member, an organization whose charter legally prohibits President Trump’s actions under its “mutual assistance” tenets, but Turkey also hosts US forces as well.
Trump “tweeted” his opening attack on Turkey as follows, obviously unaware of the thousands of American troops in and around Turkey, dependent on that nation’s cooperation and good will:
“I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Relations with Turkey and the United States are not good at this time.”
These forces may well be expelled from Turkey at any time. Among those forces is a nuclear weapons command with an estimated 84 B61 nuclear weapons and two dozen specially modified F16 aircraft capable of supporting thermonuclear warfare against targets in the Middle East from Turkish soil.
One thing is clear, as we observe Trump’s history, his actions are driven out of Tel Aviv/Jerusalem rather than Washington and is responding to the rapid decline in Israel-Turkey relations rather than acting as a NATO partner.
Additionally, when it comes to conflicts of interest, Trump has many. Accusation are piling up that Trump’s trade wars have been “custom designed” to benefit large contributors by pushing American industries into sourcing steel, aluminum and other materials from sources close to Trump himself, sources that are price gouging a customer base now limited to fewer potential suppliers.
In fact, Trump’s entire list of tariffs and sanctions, when examined closely, shows signs of carefully crafted profiteering and insider trading.
Perhaps its time for Erdogan to take a stand, expel the CIA and US Department of Defense from Turkey and push for NATO to expel the United States. Chances are a majority of NATO nations would support such a move.
If only, because we won’t do it ourselves.
Siding with Turkey and Erdogan is laudable if you’re an Islamofascist mofo.
Or maybe it is Erdogans attempts to undo all of the social modernization of Turkey since 1918 and return to being a caliphate that threatens Western civilization. They were only part of NATO because they were not communists and were in close proximity to the USSR, they are not friends.
Bingo!
“[Trump’s] actions are driven out of Tel Aviv/Jerusalem rather than Washington…”
“Perhaps its [sic] time for Erdogan to take a stand, expel the CIA and US Department of Defense from Turkey and push for NATO to expel the United States. Chances are a majority of NATO nations would support such a move.”
Here, let me distill the essence of what the writer was trying to say in the above statements:
“I am an anti-Semitic crackpot with lunatic political views.”
You’re welcome.
Turkey is tolerated in NATO because the west does not want a Russia-Turkey alliance.
JJM: Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Erdogan will not use nuclear weapons against Israel. His globalist sponsors will not allow it.
Israel’s last act in the event of a Turkish military strike would be to fire her nuclear arsenal at the financial capitals of Europe, setting off NATO’s own arsenal—still stupidly pointed at the Soviet Union. The Russians would respond with everything they had. And that would be the end of the world—and the end to the power and wealth of our globalist masters.
The globalists are monsters. They’re not quite this stupid. Even George Soros can’t hedge against the consequences of a nuclear war.
NATO doesn’t have a nuclear arsenal.
Command and control of nukes remains entirely in the hands of the only three NATO members that possess them: France, the UK and the US.
You’re probably thinking of the “nuclear sharing” concept, which is wholly controlled by the US (and the nukes themselves still remain in US hands unless the president releases them).
Time to boot Turkey out of NATO. They are rapidly approaching the 7th Century. Time for them to lose theocracy and regain democracy.
“Trump’s entire list of tariffs and sanctions, when examined closely, shows signs of carefully crafted profiteering and insider trading.”
What is so funny about this is that nobody ever “examined closely” the deals that enriched Trump’s most recent opponent. So I am calling BS. Just one more case of governing while Republican.

is a big deal, for conservatives and lefties alike, in this era of culture wars.
It remains to be seen as to how the Nike business decision, and the conservative reaction to it, plays out. I am an economics professor, and have done some reading in the area of economic boycotts, and these are tricky things to organize and do successfully. Some work and some do not.
One thing I post blog-messages on is the inherently weak organizing within the conservative movement. There is some good work done in the U.S., but in Canada the organizing is very, very weak. Because of this, the left is better at boycotts than the right. Way back when Coors beer used to back conservative causes and Republicans, but the beer-drinking universities soon boycotted Coors (then I started drinking Coors), but eventually their financing of conservatives stopped.
I am not Jewish, but of course I am pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, and detest the anti-Semitic BDS campaign. Some anti-Jewish boycotting has been attempted (e.g., a small Jewish shoe store in Montreal, the SodaStream company), but in general these have failed because Jewish groups started up counter-“Buycott” campaigns, where Jews and their sympathizers would barge through picket lines to purposely buy Jewish-made goods under leftist anti-Semitic boycotts.
Then there are the deteriorating ratings at CNN and ESPN, networks who purposely tilted left in their reporting. I know of no organized boycotts of these dreadful companies — so perhaps disgusted viewers are turning these channels on their own without conservative help.
But Nike is different. It sells a consumer product. Yes, conservatives (like me) will refuse to buy Nike products. But what about the average apolitical guy or gal out there? There will have to be an orchestrated effort by conservatives to get the message out, to educate people about supporting a corporation that pays money to a person snubbing the American flag. Finally, the organized left (aided by a powerful left-wing, anti-American media) will start a “Buycott” campaign.
Thank you for that and well said. Even though it is a US issue it does reflect on the atmosphere prevalent in our society today. I will personally canvas my family members to make sure they avoid Nike purchases.
Except that Nike already has the left somewhat pissed off because of their ties to third world sweatshops and slave labour wages to children.
Maybe he should be promoting knee pads instead.
Now that NIKE has come out against American values, one can be certain that the left and the corporate media will forget the sweatshops and child labour entirely.
Having spent a good part of my working life in sales and marketing, I find this decision by Nike to hire the highly controversial Kaperdick as a face for it’s valuable brand both fascinating and bewildering. Usually, firms taking known controversial marketing routes are limited to those newer businesses trying to get noticed/established or established companies facing newer challenges/hardships. This seems to fit neither scenario, so here’s how I see it…
I suspect that management of this company simply cannot comprehend that their SJW/PC beliefs are not morally universal. This seems typical of so many corporations these days, just look at Silicon Valley for the primest of examples. Having boardrooms where diversity of ideology is strictly forbidden and groupthink-addled minds rule all decisions is a sure recipe for long-term failure.
Aligning itself right alongside the weakened NFL is also a very dangerous move for a company used to determining it’s own way. By inviting themselves smack-dab into the middle of an already massive controversy, these idiot businessmen will now wear every NFL decision too, not an appealing thought when you consider the NFL’s own destructive course these past few years. These businesses seem absolutely oblivious to the silent majority aspect of their client-base.
I am so very pleased to see many, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, ridicule Nike’s arrogant “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. ” message with an opportunist, do nothing virtue signaler as their supposed hero. Sacrifice? Ha, just another leftist goober spit in the face of patriotic Americans.
On the other hand, I could be wrong about this as some posters here and on other sites have already pointed out …. it could be argued as a brilliant move if Nike is set to introduce a new line of knee pads.
My wife and I, a number of weeks and months ago, were remarking about the rather stupid, and moral emptiness, of Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan, in previous TV ads. This is brain-dead stuff concocted inside of NIKE’s boardrooms, and it is upsetting to those with moral values. All of this is before NIKE’s Kaepernick’s decision.
If the SWJ and ANTIFA crowd sees this as a marketing strategy and not a finding religion moment the beast will turn on NIKE.
Get Woke.
Go Broke.
“Shares of Nike Inc. fell three per cent on Tuesday as calls for a boycott of the sportswear giant gained traction on social media following its choice of Colin Kaepernick as a face for the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” slogan.” — https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/colin-kaepernick-nike-1.4809465?cmp=rss
Color me cynical but when we recently walked into a Nike store most of the customers were black as were most of the staff. We still bought stuff but now we have to swagger a bit differently. We also stopped by the Adidas outlet store. Mostly white customers and all white staff, save 1 guy. We bought stuff there too but exited casually.
I’m sure that Nike did its homework. The Kaepernick story means a lot more to blacks than to whites. Gain a whole bunch of black customers and lose a few whites – a good trade-off.
The bigger issue for me is Kaepernick is not a spokesperson for his athletic ability but rather for his political beliefs and there is never any mention of his pig socks.
Maybe so, but we each of us can still do what we can.
For me, I’m taking a knee on Nike for their support and sanitizing the ugly bigotry of Colin the has been.
It doesn’t have to be organized, just people voting with their wallet.
Whether it’s successful or not isn’t the point; taking a stand is, even it it’s ultimately ineffective because the pain tolerance of consumers is so high. At some point the dam (of idiotic PC) will break, with a few fingers already holding back public opinion.
Imho, a terrible decision by Nike that may backfire like the New Coke.
This may also hasten the bad optics of their third world cheap labour practices.
Once public opinion turns against a company, it’s hard to regain, like a snowball going downhill.
Celebrity endorsements are about as valid as a torqued headline.
“Stay thirsty my friends”
“But Nike is different. It sells a consumer product. Yes, conservatives (like me) will refuse to buy Nike products. But what about the average apolitical guy or gal out there?”
God question. However, it’s a market with a tremendous amount of brand competition. There are alternative trendy labels that even the most pathetic fashion slave could opt for instead.
There is a US based Facebook group called stop the scalpings which represents conservatives who want to organize the boycotts of conservative valued companies. They have had some success and joining them may help in a small way.
Thanks for the heads up.
I can’t wear those skinny shoes anyways, so I will miss my chance to stop buying them.
They’re just getting started.
“Agriculture declined the most, recording an annualized 29.2% contraction”.
I have never seen anything like this before in one of these hearings. Civil political discourse is definitely breaking down in the US.
There was the Bork hearings, where a fine conservative judicial thinker, Robert Bork, was trashed by the Democrats, their powerful lobbies and the corporate media. The term “Borking” came about because of that. The U.S. left is trying to Bork Kavanaugh.
From what I have seen this morning, this time it is much worse than the Bork hearings with shouts from the audience trying to drown out the chairman whenever he speaks. The Dems just keep going around and around with trying to prevent the hearings from even opening the proceedings. This is a concerted effort to hijack the proceedings and get them delayed indefinitely.
Maybe Trump should have the Senate recess for a week so he could appoint Kavanaugh without Senate approval. This appointment would last for a year or two. Kavanaugh might not like the job insecurity and Blue Republicans might lack balls to do the right thing.
Certainly, Trump seems to have the uncanny ability to know which battles to fight… except arguably for some of his Twitter spats.
In a way, Trump’s options are limited here in a similar fashion as with Sessions. Stepping in to force his wishes, no matter how legal, appropriate or justifiable, hands some very lucrative ammunition over for the left’s propaganda heavy-weaponry. You can be sure the Fascist Trump headlines are already written if he fires Sessions, desperately needed fake news to keep the media’s faltering false narratives from imploding.
Let the Democrats yet again cry ‘It’s the End of the World’ as their reaction to Kavanaugh, less people are taking them seriously each time they do it. Kavanaugh’s history seems virtually unimpeachable, I can’t see any logical path out of this for the corrupt Dems that means winning, with or without Trump’s help.
The rainbow coalition:
22 protesters arrested protesting Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh’s confirmation …one of the arrested activists was Linda Sarsour, the co-founder of Women’s March.
Sarsour’s mentor, Imam Wahhaj, is the father of one of the suspects in the ongoing New Mexico jihad compound saga.
Sarsour is a hate-filled, sharia-loving, bigoted, hag-thing.

17% of voters would vote for Maxime Bernier. Butts must call an election as soon as the House is back, Chretien would.
There is something to think about in that poll.
The contention being made is that Bernier would take votes away as a form of protest vote. What the pollster didn’t mention was what effect would this new party have on disengaged and first time voters as a protest option?
Let me do some subjective theorizing.
Of the existing federal parties which ones are likely to have members disappointed with their current leadership? I can guess there are conservatives that fit that profile, but what about the other parties? How likely would it be that there are liberals out there ready to put a pox on all their houses? And what about first time voters that want to be unconventional, and where would those unconventional voters be?
Something to consider, this is just theory, but pay attention to the liberals over the next while to see how they start reacting to Max.
The “right” is defined by the western values it holds. People of whatever color, creed or sexual orientation hold those values, putting them in the camp of the right.
When the left plays at identity politics and resorts to using color, creed or sexual orientation to further their hateful ideology, we challenge the lies , e.g BLM using color to push a false narrative.

Re: Justin Trudeau to participate in the second annual ‘Women in the World’ Canada Summit:
I am insulted that such a conference will take place. The International Monetary Fund Managing Director, Christine Lagard will be in a discussion with Trudeau, moderated by broadcaster Katie Couric. I’ve seen Christine Lagarde in interviews, in this instance she will be looking at her watch, wondering what she got herself into. They will be discussing how to see women not as a ’cause’ but an ‘opportunity.’ What is that supposed to mean? Furthermore, apparently, they will discuss how “the global economy could be turbocharged by tapping into the world’s greatest underutilized natural resource: Women.” What? What is this garbage? Perhaps Trudeau should send the followers that make up his Peopleskind World, to this event. They’re making women seem like we are some kind of new invention or some ‘nouvelle objet d’arts.’
“NAFTA is in the dumpster, we’ve got crime in the streets, illegal aliens will bankrupt the system” and B A Rupertslander, we have a prime minister who has his head buried in the sand, while ‘Rome’ burns, you’ve got that right.
These sponsors ought to be ashamed of themselves: Credit Swisse, Proctor & Gamble, Toyota, Thomson Reuters and the Globe and Mail.
And furthermore, were I to attend this conference I would ask Katie Couric what books she has read lately (and garbage magazines) on behalf of Sarah Palin. Secondly, I hope Sheila Gunn-Reid and the Menzoid attend and report to the mass of deplorables…
But seriously though, all women ought to boycott this conference.
In Toronto illegals take precedence over displaced residents forced out by apartment fire.
Gerald simply MUST call an election right now! With BOTH Opposition leaders in Trudeau’s corner over his courageous stance against the American Hitler, the time is ripe to go for another BIG majority!

Why Trump is Trying to Crush Turkey
Excerpts;
The United States and Turkey, as of the second week of August 2018, are ready to break off diplomatic relations as a result of broad US sanctions on Turkey. However, not only is Turkey a full NATO member, an organization whose charter legally prohibits President Trump’s actions under its “mutual assistance” tenets, but Turkey also hosts US forces as well.
Trump “tweeted” his opening attack on Turkey as follows, obviously unaware of the thousands of American troops in and around Turkey, dependent on that nation’s cooperation and good will:
“I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Relations with Turkey and the United States are not good at this time.”
These forces may well be expelled from Turkey at any time. Among those forces is a nuclear weapons command with an estimated 84 B61 nuclear weapons and two dozen specially modified F16 aircraft capable of supporting thermonuclear warfare against targets in the Middle East from Turkish soil.
One thing is clear, as we observe Trump’s history, his actions are driven out of Tel Aviv/Jerusalem rather than Washington and is responding to the rapid decline in Israel-Turkey relations rather than acting as a NATO partner.
Additionally, when it comes to conflicts of interest, Trump has many. Accusation are piling up that Trump’s trade wars have been “custom designed” to benefit large contributors by pushing American industries into sourcing steel, aluminum and other materials from sources close to Trump himself, sources that are price gouging a customer base now limited to fewer potential suppliers.
In fact, Trump’s entire list of tariffs and sanctions, when examined closely, shows signs of carefully crafted profiteering and insider trading.
Perhaps its time for Erdogan to take a stand, expel the CIA and US Department of Defense from Turkey and push for NATO to expel the United States. Chances are a majority of NATO nations would support such a move.

Thank you for that and well said. Even though it is a US issue it does reflect on the atmosphere prevalent in our society today. I will personally canvas my family members to make sure they avoid Nike purchases.
Except that Nike already has the left somewhat pissed off because of their ties to third world sweatshops and slave labour wages to children.
Maybe he should be promoting knee pads instead.
Now that NIKE has come out against American values, one can be certain that the left and the corporate media will forget the sweatshops and child labour entirely.
Having spent a good part of my working life in sales and marketing, I find this decision by Nike to hire the highly controversial Kaperdick as a face for it’s valuable brand both fascinating and bewildering. Usually, firms taking known controversial marketing routes are limited to those newer businesses trying to get noticed/established or established companies facing newer challenges/hardships. This seems to fit neither scenario, so here’s how I see it…
I suspect that management of this company simply cannot comprehend that their SJW/PC beliefs are not morally universal. This seems typical of so many corporations these days, just look at Silicon Valley for the primest of examples. Having boardrooms where diversity of ideology is strictly forbidden and groupthink-addled minds rule all decisions is a sure recipe for long-term failure.
Aligning itself right alongside the weakened NFL is also a very dangerous move for a company used to determining it’s own way. By inviting themselves smack-dab into the middle of an already massive controversy, these idiot businessmen will now wear every NFL decision too, not an appealing thought when you consider the NFL’s own destructive course these past few years. These businesses seem absolutely oblivious to the silent majority aspect of their client-base.
I am so very pleased to see many, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, ridicule Nike’s arrogant “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. ” message with an opportunist, do nothing virtue signaler as their supposed hero. Sacrifice? Ha, just another leftist goober spit in the face of patriotic Americans.
On the other hand, I could be wrong about this as some posters here and on other sites have already pointed out …. it could be argued as a brilliant move if Nike is set to introduce a new line of knee pads.
My wife and I, a number of weeks and months ago, were remarking about the rather stupid, and moral emptiness, of Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan, in previous TV ads. This is brain-dead stuff concocted inside of NIKE’s boardrooms, and it is upsetting to those with moral values. All of this is before NIKE’s Kaepernick’s decision.
If the SWJ and ANTIFA crowd sees this as a marketing strategy and not a finding religion moment the beast will turn on NIKE.
Get Woke.
Go Broke.
“Shares of Nike Inc. fell three per cent on Tuesday as calls for a boycott of the sportswear giant gained traction on social media following its choice of Colin Kaepernick as a face for the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” slogan.” — https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/colin-kaepernick-nike-1.4809465?cmp=rss
Color me cynical but when we recently walked into a Nike store most of the customers were black as were most of the staff. We still bought stuff but now we have to swagger a bit differently. We also stopped by the Adidas outlet store. Mostly white customers and all white staff, save 1 guy. We bought stuff there too but exited casually.
I’m sure that Nike did its homework. The Kaepernick story means a lot more to blacks than to whites. Gain a whole bunch of black customers and lose a few whites – a good trade-off.
The bigger issue for me is Kaepernick is not a spokesperson for his athletic ability but rather for his political beliefs and there is never any mention of his pig socks.
Maybe so, but we each of us can still do what we can.
For me, I’m taking a knee on Nike for their support and sanitizing the ugly bigotry of Colin the has been.
It doesn’t have to be organized, just people voting with their wallet.
Whether it’s successful or not isn’t the point; taking a stand is, even it it’s ultimately ineffective because the pain tolerance of consumers is so high. At some point the dam (of idiotic PC) will break, with a few fingers already holding back public opinion.
Imho, a terrible decision by Nike that may backfire like the New Coke.
This may also hasten the bad optics of their third world cheap labour practices.
Once public opinion turns against a company, it’s hard to regain, like a snowball going downhill.
Celebrity endorsements are about as valid as a torqued headline.
“Stay thirsty my friends”
“But Nike is different. It sells a consumer product. Yes, conservatives (like me) will refuse to buy Nike products. But what about the average apolitical guy or gal out there?”
God question. However, it’s a market with a tremendous amount of brand competition. There are alternative trendy labels that even the most pathetic fashion slave could opt for instead.
There is a US based Facebook group called stop the scalpings which represents conservatives who want to organize the boycotts of conservative valued companies. They have had some success and joining them may help in a small way.
Thanks for the heads up.
I can’t wear those skinny shoes anyways, so I will miss my chance to stop buying them.
They’re just getting started.

The Democrats and radical left trying to hijack and delay the Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.4078839
I have never seen anything like this before in one of these hearings. Civil political discourse is definitely breaking down in the US.
There was the Bork hearings, where a fine conservative judicial thinker, Robert Bork, was trashed by the Democrats, their powerful lobbies and the corporate media. The term “Borking” came about because of that. The U.S. left is trying to Bork Kavanaugh.
From what I have seen this morning, this time it is much worse than the Bork hearings with shouts from the audience trying to drown out the chairman whenever he speaks. The Dems just keep going around and around with trying to prevent the hearings from even opening the proceedings. This is a concerted effort to hijack the proceedings and get them delayed indefinitely.
Maybe Trump should have the Senate recess for a week so he could appoint Kavanaugh without Senate approval. This appointment would last for a year or two. Kavanaugh might not like the job insecurity and Blue Republicans might lack balls to do the right thing.
Certainly, Trump seems to have the uncanny ability to know which battles to fight… except arguably for some of his Twitter spats.
In a way, Trump’s options are limited here in a similar fashion as with Sessions. Stepping in to force his wishes, no matter how legal, appropriate or justifiable, hands some very lucrative ammunition over for the left’s propaganda heavy-weaponry. You can be sure the Fascist Trump headlines are already written if he fires Sessions, desperately needed fake news to keep the media’s faltering false narratives from imploding.
Let the Democrats yet again cry ‘It’s the End of the World’ as their reaction to Kavanaugh, less people are taking them seriously each time they do it. Kavanaugh’s history seems virtually unimpeachable, I can’t see any logical path out of this for the corrupt Dems that means winning, with or without Trump’s help.
The rainbow coalition:
22 protesters arrested protesting Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh’s confirmation …one of the arrested activists was Linda Sarsour, the co-founder of Women’s March.
Sarsour’s mentor, Imam Wahhaj, is the father of one of the suspects in the ongoing New Mexico jihad compound saga.
Sarsour is a hate-filled, sharia-loving, bigoted, hag-thing.
What should one expect? Guess what her surname means in Arabic and you’ll have your answer.
But will they be charged? They should be. How did these scum get in there to begin with?

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-poll-finds-17-per-cent-of-canadians-are-open-to-supporting-maxime/
17% of voters would vote for Maxime Bernier. Butts must call an election as soon as the House is back, Chretien would.
There is something to think about in that poll.
The contention being made is that Bernier would take votes away as a form of protest vote. What the pollster didn’t mention was what effect would this new party have on disengaged and first time voters as a protest option?
Let me do some subjective theorizing.
Of the existing federal parties which ones are likely to have members disappointed with their current leadership? I can guess there are conservatives that fit that profile, but what about the other parties? How likely would it be that there are liberals out there ready to put a pox on all their houses? And what about first time voters that want to be unconventional, and where would those unconventional voters be?
Something to consider, this is just theory, but pay attention to the liberals over the next while to see how they start reacting to Max.

Powerful stuff.
The “right” is defined by the western values it holds. People of whatever color, creed or sexual orientation hold those values, putting them in the camp of the right.
When the left plays at identity politics and resorts to using color, creed or sexual orientation to further their hateful ideology, we challenge the lies , e.g BLM using color to push a false narrative.

NAFTA is in the dumpster, we’ve got crime in the streets, illegal aliens will bankrupt the system, but take comfort my friends, our prime minister has his priorities right:

Re: Justin Trudeau to participate in the second annual ‘Women in the World’ Canada Summit:
I am insulted that such a conference will take place. The International Monetary Fund Managing Director, Christine Lagard will be in a discussion with Trudeau, moderated by broadcaster Katie Couric. I’ve seen Christine Lagarde in interviews, in this instance she will be looking at her watch, wondering what she got herself into. They will be discussing how to see women not as a ’cause’ but an ‘opportunity.’ What is that supposed to mean? Furthermore, apparently, they will discuss how “the global economy could be turbocharged by tapping into the world’s greatest underutilized natural resource: Women.” What? What is this garbage? Perhaps Trudeau should send the followers that make up his Peopleskind World, to this event. They’re making women seem like we are some kind of new invention or some ‘nouvelle objet d’arts.’
“NAFTA is in the dumpster, we’ve got crime in the streets, illegal aliens will bankrupt the system” and B A Rupertslander, we have a prime minister who has his head buried in the sand, while ‘Rome’ burns, you’ve got that right.
These sponsors ought to be ashamed of themselves: Credit Swisse, Proctor & Gamble, Toyota, Thomson Reuters and the Globe and Mail.
And furthermore, were I to attend this conference I would ask Katie Couric what books she has read lately (and garbage magazines) on behalf of Sarah Palin. Secondly, I hope Sheila Gunn-Reid and the Menzoid attend and report to the mass of deplorables…
But seriously though, all women ought to boycott this conference.

Gerald simply MUST call an election right now! With BOTH Opposition leaders in Trudeau’s corner over his courageous stance against the American Hitler, the time is ripe to go for another BIG majority!
LPC 205 seats if an election was held tomorrow, 204 seats if it’s in 6 weeks. Maybe Brian Mulroney will come out and endorse Justin again as he’s done for the last three years.
Get this: “More than half of Canadians (58.3%) believe Trudeau has the qualities of a good political leader”. I give up. There is simply no hope for Canada. More than have the population is brain dead.
And why not? Weren’t both of his fathers great leaders?
I watched the start of Kavanaugh’s confirmation. I thought one had to be an adult to be elected.
