The Extremist Boogeyman

Canada’s Bolsheviks You Might Be A Liberal 10 Comments

If you follow the mainstream media, ever notice how conservatives seem to be the only group that is ever criticized for being “divisive”? Margaret Thatcher had a great label for politicians like Amelia Boultbee: wets.

She said in a social media post that Findlay’s election had left a void in the political landscape for those who are looking for an alternative to “NDP incompetence.”

“I feel strongly that British Columbian is best served, when it is represented by a government that values broad perspectives and stays away from polarizing extremes,” the post said. “I believe that the majority of British Columbians feel the same.”

 

Fake It, So You Can Make It

An ever growing number of Canadians are unable to tell the difference between someone who is actually competent and a run of the mill conman.

Western Standard- The death of merit and how Canada lost its compass.

The decline of merit is the story of modern Canada. It began as a slow corrosion under Justin Trudeau, whose rise was fuelled by name recognition and emotional politics rather than achievement. It deepened under Chrystia Freeland, who turned fiscal management into performance art. And it has continued under Mark Carney, whose credentials might suggest competence but whose actions have proven the opposite. These are not isolated examples; they are milestones on a national journey away from merit and toward mediocrity.

‘Tis the season.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has topped the Canadian Taxpayer Federation’s annual Naughty List, which ranks the country’s worst “grifting politicians.”

Ford earned the top spot for ensuring Ontario’s political welfare remained permanent by reinstating taxpayer-funded pensions for provincial politicians. This year also saw Ontario politicians giving themselves a 35 per cent pay raise.

“Ford took a pay raise that would make even Ebenezer Scrooge blush: A $73,000 hike in one year. But Ford isn’t the only one with coal in his stocking,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director…

Just Another Ten Chances

Readers will note the sly conceit that what matters, all that matters, is the sum being stolen this time, not the whole at knifepoint or gunpoint business – as if this lively means of cash extraction were some trivial detail, beneath acknowledgment. A thing with no informational content, no clues as to the character of the perpetrator, their fitness for a civilised world.

Those pointing to the smallness of the sum as if it were a significant mitigating factor don’t seem troubled by the implication that someone who will violate others, and threaten them with death, for a mere $20 is someone who will use very small incentives to behave in monstrous ways. Likewise, the implication that robbing people with only $20 to surrender is a matter of no import.

On three-strikes laws and the contortions of progressive critics.

Public Art

A process through which rich people get taxpayers to … er, install vinyl on back alley doorways for the junkies.

The City of Saskatoon spent $8,202 to paint art on doors in a downtown back-alley in 2024, according to documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“It’s absurd the city has kept on wasting taxpayer money on these ridiculous back-alley decorations,” said Gage Haubrich, CTF Prairie Director. “Why does city hall insist on spending money prettying-up this alley? Are the resident rats and alley cats demanding it? If local businesses want artistic back doors, they should buy a pail of paint instead of filling out a grant application.”

The project called “Alley Gallery 2024” was paid for by city taxpayers and the downtown business improvement district. The city also contributed $4,500 for a similar project called “Door Décor” with the Broadway business improvement district in 2025.

The downtown business improvement district is currently asking the city for $15,000 to paint art on doors in a different back-alley, according to the documents.

The city previously wasted nearly $100,000 of taxpayers’ money putting up colour-changing light balls in a back alley in 2023.

The City of Saskatoon is currently forecasting a 7.43 per cent property tax hike for 2026 and a 5.92 per cent hike in 2027.

Taxpayers Federation has the receipts.

The Progressive Anxiety

On crime, conflictedness, and weird excuses:

Regarding the consequent conflictedness and anxiety, all that progressive wrongness, these three posts include suitably vivid illustrations of the phenomenon.

Among which, a claim that more theatre for schoolchildren would somehow deter the kinds of creatures who repeatedly sucker-punch elderly ladies for being the wrong race, and a chap who insists that women should allow themselves to be mugged lest their mugger, out on probation, come to harm.

Oh, and the belief, expressed by a Guardian columnist, that when you find your home being burgled in the middle of the night, the real victims, the people deserving of sympathy and indulgence, are the ones breaking into your home while brandishing carving knives and then driving off with your valuables in your car.

Our betters, you know. They say so themselves.
