  1. Re: Mike Duffy.
    In my opinion, Mike Duffy’s trial was a Kangaroo court. There is no way that the RCMP and the Crown could not have had at least a half dozen charges stick against that little pork chop.
    I think the judge was bought by the Trudeau Liberals who didn’t want interference in protecting the Senate, and lining up a new horde of Liberal thieves and crooks. Just the way it was when Trudeau Sr. was in power. Look at how the CBC is covering up for Duffy. And who controls the CBC??

  2. What we see at the public displays in the courts and Parliament is mostly Kabuki theatre. The players are just acting out lines written by the people behind the curtains who actually run the government.
    The adventures of the Dauphin Kookoolooloo will continue, after the commercials.

  3. The Duffy trial was a long amateur hour all around. The media were using Duffy, who they hated from the day he was appointed by a Conservative PM, to get at Harper who they also despised from the day he took Office. It ultimately became a circus, Duffy was the Monkey and the media the organ grinders and grind they did. The Judge could hardly convict the Monkey when there were so many clowns in on the act. Who is smiling now? Nary one of the media hacks who were salivating at the prospect of Duffy serving time in the slammer, they’ve been gob smacked big time. There’s an eerie silence when the circus leaves town.

  5. I lived in the UK until 2007. Fly-tipping was a constant problem; nothing spoils the morning walk with your dog quite like a discarded washing machine and a pile of old tires spread across your favourite wooded path.
    On the other hand, Britain is the land where all levels of government constantly ping the consumer with fees and taxes of all kinds. And local “green” councils are notorious for making rubbish removal and recycling an expensive, time-consuming and complicated business (in some areas, they even spy on households and inspect the contents of bins).
    In reaction, people without the means or the patience to comply with all the byzantine and costly regulations simply tip the stuff into a hedgerow somewhere in the dark of night.
    It can only get worse.

  6. Cute crtoon Lev. I can’t find your link’s age but the cartoon is almost as old as I am. It’s 68 not 50. So perhps even more prophetic. Thanks for the memories.

  7. The fact remains that the Media calls the tune and Canadians dance.
    Clark the fool, Mulroney the crook, Manning the religious nut, Harper the control freak. Now there may be varying degrees of truthiness there but still quite a contrast with Trudeau the Magi, Martin the financial whiz, Chretien le petit gars and of course the current Einsteinian dreamboat.
    The Conservatives were reduced to two seats nationwide due to media coverage while Adscam entailed a Judge noting it was a kickback blackmail scheme at the highest level of the Liberal Party. Note that he commented that the Liberal goal(beyond the usual monetary) was to entirely eliminate the Conservative Party. For these convicted crimes the Cons were barely able to obtain a minority.
    Nixon the crook, Reagan the Alzheimer guy, Ford the fool,Bush the patrician, Bush the fool, Mccain the old guy, Romney the rich guy versus Kennedy Camelot, Carter the saint, Clinton the first black pres, and Obama the Nobel winner. Interesting dichotomy.
    Conservatives really need to address the elephant in the room. The Media.

  8. “Who is smiling now?”
    Senator Mike Duffy.
    Because he now stands to make a tidy sum in litigation against his various tormenters.
    Of course the good ol’ taxpayer is likely to foot that bill.

  9. I don’t often agree with Bill Maher, but he’s bang-on here…

    I know you’re trying to demonstrate to minorities that you’re a sympathetic ally by dumping on your own whiteness, but most minority folks could give a shit.
    Watch any sitcom, commercial, movie comedy. The go to punch line is always the tight-ass, limp dick, Dockers-wearing, tiny penis, bland-food eating white guy.

  10. A few years back when all the garbage dumps had become locked down with dumping fees I had a converstion with a local volunteer from the re-cycle place about all the bags of garbage that were appearing along the highways.
    It was a pointless discussion because, no he hadn’t noticed and no he didn’t think there were any more than normal. The Green lobby simply refuses to see any evidence that might contradict their world view.

  11. You sum up well the job the MSM does for their Liberal or Democratic masters.
    JJM, re Fly-Tipping in Britain. We get some of that in Saskatchewan. Waste such as old couches, chairs, white goods, even green bags of garbage are left in the rural areas along the roads. I have never caught any of these people doing this but I suspect that it happens because of the high Tipping fees at the city waste sites.
    This Fly-tipping epidemic in Britain reminds me of the Russian people stealing building supplies, or anything in fact, as after all, the stuff just belong to the government. It wasn’t as if they were stealing from their neighbour, although this was also very common.

  12. ” securely locked and was broken into”
    uh, then it wasnt securely locked then was it? English a funny language eh wot?
    words can mean all sorts of things . . . . .

  13. so are you saying that rupert murdoch is falling short? he who sold papers via illegal eavesdropping on royalty?
    ALL media. ALL of them. learn everything you can about Josef Goebbels, the pioneer of propaganda. learn how it works, the subtlety, the phraseology, mix in things that are widely known truths, then spin, spin, spin. etc etc.

  14. The ‘media’.
    Always right, all-knowing, virtuous, self-aggrandizing, shoving propaganda from all the liberal special interest groups, down our throats, without any question or query as to the veracity of their outlandish, extreme claims.
    And when they are wrong, which is very OFTEN? Silence, they don’t take ownership of their bald faced lies and propaganda. Instead, we get the emotional arguments of why they still believe in their self-appointed virtuousness. Pathetic scumbags, all of them, except for Rex, and a small handful.
    The Duffy trial was a circus, as was Ghomeshi. Both of them reeked of a witch hunt for theatrical purposes, rather than real offences. The tell? The circus they became!
    How does someone with a degree in Lit or Journolism (the ability, essentially, to write a proper sentence, paragraph, and report) make them economic, political, environmental, or market experts?
    Cuz they say so?

  15. You should do some more factual research on propaganda.
    Go watch Avatar. Then come back like last time when you watched a movie from Hollyweird, claiming ‘facts’………….

  16. Anyone seen the cartoon commercial from the cartoon government, regarding their all-knowing all-intrusive “confidential” census?
    Jokes just write themselves sometimes

  17. Agreed.
    Toss in a Librano judge and lawyer and what other outcome could reasonably be expected?
    Duffy probably keeps an enemies list but he’s a spent force. Those on his list would probably include many who he once considered friends….. cbc, ctv, etc

  18. “Drugs are fuelling the crisis in Attawapiskat and police can’t do much about it.”
    The only other way into the town — in the headlines recently for a massive suicide and overdose crisis — is by plane. Drug couriers have flown in to the local airport with narcotics stuffed in their pockets, shoes and carry-on bags, police say. Pills are also sent into northern communities by mail, sometimes hidden in children’s toys or sewn into the seams of baby blankets.”
    “We’re working hard to try to intercept, but some of it is going to get through; you won’t get it all,” acknowledges Terry Armstrong, chief of the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service, the largest First Nations law enforcement agency in Canada with 35 detachments across northern Ontario, including one in Attawapiskat.”
    Police know of 12 drug dealers in Attawapiskat, individuals who arrange drug shipments by plane, car or mail, and then distribute them. Payments are typically made through bank transfers, though it is not unheard of for suppliers to travel up north to settle debts.”
    Drug prices up north can be as much as five times higher than prices in the south; police declined to say what the going rates are now, but said a single OxyContin pill has fetched $400 in the past. It raises the question of how residents can afford it. Nishnawbe-Aski police Insp. Eric Cheechoo says some residents will put some of their government assistance money toward drugs. Others will steal items from homes, re-sell them, and then use the money for drugs.”

  19. Forget about fly-tipping, I take a couple of plastic bags with me every day I go for a walk along the Ottawa River west of Hawkesbury and pick up lots of fast food containers, soft drink cans and cigarette packs among other junk thrown from cars. It amazes me how piggish people are!

  20. Still spin that first issue Golden Earring lp on my Mcintosh MT-10 … and it sounds divine. That Incubus cut has nice bones, but then gets totally washed-out by some pro-tools generated faux guitar sounding instrumental solo. Sorry, but you need REAL musicians playing REAL instruments in studio to achieve greatness. Incubus are a bunch of pretty boys with computers … meh. Not music. Just MP3 tripe.
    What’s on my turntable right now ? Neil Young’s Zuma, Cortez the Killer … hate his politics … Love his dirty guitar. Thanks for sharing, Canada !

  21. The same thing happened in our community when the ‘Sustainability Department’ increased tipping fees to reduce the amount of garbage going to the landfill. It sorta worked since garbage began appearing in the bush more frequently after that. No amount of reasoning or discussion had any effect on Council; the ‘Sustainability Manager’ is their god.

  22. Illicit drugs are a major problem in every aboriginal community. That’s what drives the suicides. Giving them more money just means they buy more drugs. Of course the Libtard government turns a blind eye to this, makes excuses, and the problem continues to grow.
    They love to wail and moan about ‘food insecurity’, however there is very little ‘insecurity’ when it comes to drugs, booze, smokes, lotto, cell phone, junk food, etc. The people have money, they just don’t choose to spend it on nutritious food.

  23. AGW RIP.
    Snow’O’narcissist.
    …-
    “Late April “Snow Shock” Surprises Germany, President Obama. Experts Advise Putting Winter Tires Back On!”
    “You gotta wonder what President Obama will be thinking when he visits the northern city of Hanover later today. Ironically the US global warming president may be confronted with snow tomorrow morning as he gets set to pitch further steps with regards to TTIP and global warming to Chancellor Angela Merkel.”
    ““Wintershock”
    The online SVZ daily here warns “Winterschock: In Germany the snow is back. Ice cold polar air delivers snowfall and storms.”
    German weekly, Stern, writes at its online newsite: “Experts even advise putting the winter tires back on” and warns of icy streets in the lowlands by Monday morning! The Stern clip calls the snow for this time of year “unusual”.”

  24. You’ve pretty much nailed it.
    I’ve been on a number of reservations in northern ON. Not Attawapiskat but others further up stream. It’s the same everywhere. 80% of those over age 12 are drug addicted. No job, literacy at about a grade 4 level, a welfare cheque every month…falls right into the Henry Ford description: “Any man who think he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a close look at the American Indian.”
    I have a socialist worker relative who is in Attawapaskit right now ‘helping’. Never been on a rez in her life let alone a remote one. Oh sure she has a master degree and 25 years experience…..it wont mean shit up there. Yeah she should be helpful.

  25. “More listeria scare not organic bs again?”
    Not surprising in the least. If people saw how most of that organic junk was grown they would quite buying it.

  26. Mother of the Year…:(
    “A Toronto woman faces child abandonment charges after police found a three-year girl wandering around the city’s St. Clair West Village neighbourhood early Monday morning. Toronto Police Det. Peter Wallace said the girl’s mother, 30, told officers that she left the youngster alone when she went to get pizza from a nearby store. Wallace said the girl’s father, 35, was at work at the time.
    Police were called at approximately 1:30 a.m., after a resident in the Oakwood and St. Clair Avenues area spotted the girl walking by herself on Conway Avenue.
    ‘Thankfully a citizen, presumably a light sleeper, heard some noises that she thought were suspicious,’ an officer told reporters at the scene. ‘(She) investigated and found the child very quickly.’
    Police said the girl was barefoot and wearing her pyjamas when she was located about three houses away from her own house.
    She left her home to search for her mother, and began crying once she was outside, police said.
    Once police arrived at the scene, they were able to quickly locate the child’s home, but it took about one-and-a-half hours to locate her mom.”
