This evening we learn about the Gilded Age. Call me crazy, but I have the strong sense that we’re currently enduring the negative effects of a 21st century version of the same.
James Delingpole & Toby Young discuss Canadians rising up against “President Bieber Ceaușescu”.
Your best recent tips are most certainly appreciated!
Bonus: Here are the next two Faces of Protest portraits taken by Dan Aponte (on Facebook) :
This evening we learn about the Silver Bridge disaster in Point Pleasant, West Virginia and why similarly designed bridges in Pittsburgh never suffered such a fate.
That’s just over Cdn$9 Million!
Your best tips of the past day are much appreciated!
Bonus: Thanks to SDA commenter `Exasperated`, here are the first two of eighteen Faces of Protest portraits taken by Dan Aponte (on Facebook) and shared by Heather Heying:
You decide if this was a prophecy or a coincidence but in 1968 there was a Mary Tyler Moore and George Peppard film called What’s So Good About Feeling Bad. Watch the trailer and see if you notice any similarities with what we’ve been put through the past two years. Here’s some more insight into the film.
For your daily fun moment from Ottawa, look no further than here. I don’t know about you, but on my bingo card of 2022 Predictions, I did not write down “honk” or “jerry can”. And the year has barely begun!
Late-breaking: Here’s the obligatory Hitler-meme that you’ve been craving! Or maybe it’s just a re-enactment of what’s ongoing in the PMO?!
If you have a bit more time, grab the beverage of your choice and some popcorn and enjoy Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and his merry band of fellow hyperbolic nitwits exaggerate every single sentence out of their mouths. Watson is not actually the worst though. There’s an unhinged maniac named Carole Anne Meehan who you have to see to believe. You will actually hear her calling for “filling up the Armoury, next to City Hall, with geared up riot police” to serve as a threat against the protesters. This is a Canadian elected official proposing such actions against civilians. If Meehan is ever appointed to become an ambassador, say to Switzerland, goodness knows there’s going to be Canadian soldiers fighting the farmers in the Swiss Alps!

In honour of my dear mother’s 90th birthday, today we present you some beautiful scenes of rural Saskatchewan. My mom was adopted so her lineage is not entirely clear but through DNA we’ve recently established that her likely father was orphaned in 1919 in Omaha, Nebraska due to both of his parents dying from the Spanish Flu. He was one of the first few orphans at Father Flanagan’s Boys Town but ran away at some point and made his way up to Canada. Thankfully my mom ended up with a wonderful Polish-Canadian family on a farm near Lake Lenore, SK. She became a nurse and made her way out to Vancouver in the early 1950’s. She has definitely had some challenges in her life but managed to shape me into the dedicated SDA contributor that I am today. And quite a coincidence the city boy, that is yours truly, found a shared affinity of stubbornly pushing back with a rural Saskatchewan woman named Kate, who I’m truly honoured to know. For these words inspire me more than most of you will ever realize:
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.”
I’m blessed that my mom has reached the age of 90, though the past two years of insanity have been especially hard for seniors and for kids. Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you.
Your sentimental or more hard-nosed tips of the past day are much appreciated!
This evening we enjoy the musical stylings of Laura Branigan, as she sings her big hit from 1982 entitled Gloria.
Here’s a fun scene of a Crazy Canuck from Viva Frei’s video. Here’s a cool video a videographer named Adam Nucci published a few days ago. And for more giggles, here’s some insight into the minds of some of the counterprotestors. Upon listening to what they have to say about the BLM protests, you may be prompted to look up this and this. You’re welcome.
Bonus: Here’s a video from Rebel News reporter, Alexa Lavoie, this evening in Quebec City.
Finally, here are two images I promised to upload: GoFraudMe and watching 6 Ottawa live streams this morning.
Your most interesting tips of the past day are much appreciated!
This evening we look back at the brave souls of the Polish Solidarity movement in the 1980’s: 1981 and then later. How will Canadian politicians of 2022 be remembered?
Your most informative tips of recent times are much appreciated.
This evening we once again enjoy the musical stylings of James Frazier. This is a musical essay with a Leave It To Beaver theme, Why Tell The Truth? calls out politicians and complicit journalists for the epidemic of dishonesty that we’re subjected to every day. Written in the early days of the lockdown, it’s more relevant than ever as the usual suspects try their damndest to defame the extraordinary and courageous folks standing up for our rights in Ottawa. You can view the lyrics here.
If you’d like some visuals to attach to Frazier’s song, play this video on mute while you listen to his song.
Update: Artur Pawlowski showed up in Coutts today!!!
Bonus: This was published today: Trudeau vs. The Truckers
Late Breaking Update: It looks like things are about to get very real in America beginning this weekend!
Your best tips this day are much appreciated!
This evening we enjoy Fortunate Son, performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival aka CCR.
And, as an added bonus, please enjoy this video right to the end. It makes absolutely NO sense! Which is what makes it SO funny!
As an added bonus, and thanks to SDA commenter ‘Batcracker’, do enjoy these hilarious memes!
Your most fortunate or unfortunate tips of the past day would be mightily appreciated!
In case you missed it, here’s the remarkable video posted earlier by Kate showing farmers and truckers breaking though the police roadblock to assist the isolated truckers.
In honour of that, and this won’t be the last time we reference this song, please enjoy Truckin’ In The Free World!
Viva Frei has a few thoughts on the Canadian legacy media, as well as Legault’s “magical” change of heart re the no-vax tax. Freedom Girl hands out pizza. Freedom Protesters help a fallen police officer. The GoFundMe campaign is approaching $10 Million! Enjoy a great collection of hilarious trucker memes. h/t Nancy Ross
Please keep your great tips coming!
This evening we learn about the life of Witold Pilecki, a Polish intelligence officer who volunteered to go into Auschwitz to report on the atrocities there. A longer version can be seen here.
Your most interesting tips of the past 24 hours are much appreciated.
Up until two hours before midnight ET, something else was going to be presented here but thanks to SDA commenter, Maikeru, we’re preempting that with a wonderful scene from the 1968 film, The Devils Brigade: The Canadians Arrive We can all look forward to a future movie showing the 2022 Canadians Arriving … in Ottawa!
In addition to this video, you’re likely to get some good laughs visiting Jack Posobiec’s Twitter feed. He has affectionately renamed Canada as “Truckistan” and appointed himself as the American Ambassador to it. Check out some highlights here, here, here, here, and here.
You can also watch the first press conference given by the Convoy organizers. The entire thing is well worth watching. These folks are VERY media and politically savvy. They understand what’s going on. We applaud them for not getting sucked in by the legacy media. We applaud them for not apologizing for peacefully fighting for the freedom of ALL Canadians. Nor will they allow themselves to affiliate with any particular political party or politician. Though they are looking to talk to the Conservative Party Leader, but insist that it is clearly not Erin O’Toole. Bravo!
There’s also a rumour going around that the authorities are going to sneak in at 3am with giant tow-trucks and remove all of them. Even if they were somehow able to do that, it’s not going to solve the problem. The trucks and the protesters aren’t leaving the Ottawa Capital Region anytime soon. Expect to see the same in major cities across the country. With roads blocked and few truckers available regardless, how do these “geniuses” inside the government think that food and other essential supplies are going to get onto store shelves?!?
It’s going to be an interesting and incredibly historic week ahead. Thank you ALL for your incredible contributions to SDA of your wisdom and your links!
Final note: The Freedom Convoy 2022 GoFundMe campaign just crossed over $9 Million around 10pm ET.
What an amazing day to be a Canadian! Your regular scheduled Reader Tips offering is once again being preempted to share something much more important. Rebel News and True North are doing an absolutely fantastic job covering the events in Ottawa. Here’s but one video. While watching each video, remember two things:
You can find an endless number of more videos here, though be skeptical of anything coming out of the corrupt “official” media outlets; just remember that Trudeau’s government provides funding directly to them.
Your tips, especially about this this protest, are MUCH appreciated!
#MapleLeafRevolution
Tonight we have a special treat for all Canadians, the 1937 film, Renfrew of the Royal Mounted. Though Canadian focused, it was actually filmed entirely on location at Big Bear Lake, California.
Your Great White North focused tips, or those from the wider world, are much appreciated!
We interrupt our originally scheduled Reader Tips to offer up something much more important, given the historic nature of what is going on in Canada right now.
Just when some of us had given up on most Canadians to even lift a finger to defend their rights and freedoms, it is beyond amazing to witness what is going on with the Truckers’ convoy. In celebration, we encourage you to listen to I Am Canadian, while watching more video of the convoy here, here, and here.
Russell Brand shares with the entire world how the DISGRACEFUL Canadian media are refusing to cover this incredible event in a fair and balanced manner, if at all.
One of the convoy organizers, Benjamin Dichter, talks with Tucker Carlson.
Your Canada-centric tips are especially appreciated!
Update: Even more amazing video! Keep in mind that every one of these people are the deplorables with “unacceptable views” that Justin Trudeau and his fellow Laurentian Elites absolutely detests. And Erin McFool still refuses to support them!
This evening we present a 1948 film called Unknown Island. Though the special effects aren’t quite up to modern CGI standards, it’s still a lot of fun to watch.
Your best tips of recent days are encouraged.
This evening we present the Freedom Convoy Song 2022. More video of trucks! #LetsGoJustin
Your fast moving tips of the past day are most appreciated!
This evening our thoughts & prayers go out to the noble truckers who are making their way to Ottawa. It should not escape anyone’s attention that 87 years ago a different On-to-Ottawa Trek was held by another group of of disgruntled Canadians. It didn’t end well for them. For the record, no one is remotely suggesting that the 2022 truckers are “being led by communists” like a professor in the video suggested of the 1935 trekkers!
Given that the current Canadian PM has proven that he has zero wisdom, and that he has already “othered” anyone who dares disagree with him on the topic of mandatory vaccinations, does any reasonable person think that he would pause for a second before unleashing incredible violence on these truckers?
Your most timely tips are much appreciated!
Anyone who’s been part of a ball team will recognize the guy eulogized in this song by James Frazer. Written for Bernie, the heart and soul of the GC Chronics, and dedicated to all the boys of summer who are drinking in a better place. R.I.P. Hepp.
Submitted by James’ wife, Denise.
Your most interesting recent tips are much appreciated!
This evening we enjoy the 1972 movie, Kolchak The Night Stalker.
The frightening or more gentle ttips are appreciated!
This bit of comedy is a year old but still as relevant today. I don’t know who this woman is but she’s based in Mississauga albeit perhaps with a Newfie accent? All of her videos are good fun.
Your most interesting tips are much appreciated!
