    1. Memo to Justin…………there is no limit to your freaking insanity. Maybe you need to get closer to the muslims and see just how they will treat you up close and personal. Your evil shown towards Canadians will eventually require that you leave the country.

      1. Pretty sure that Justin was thinking about his speaking fees when he said “free speech has it’s limits”.

        That statement could also explain why he doesn’t show up much. He has calculated the cost per word and as PM he just doesn’t get paid enough per word.

    2. Juthtin is a coward. Hurting people’s feelings isn’t illegal.
      What the Imam thinks of the beheading is not illegal. If he is inciting others to do violence, that is.
      But the Imam does prove there is a wide shit streak of depravity in Islam.

    1. Colonialista – My first thought was that her look reminds me of a young Cher only prettier. She’s clearly more intelligent than Cher. Just imagine how many attractive faces like hers are being covered by burkas. I found a Spectator article about her titled “Being pro-Trump has caused me more grief than being Osama bin Laden’s niece”. What a Saad statement about our world. I’ll listen to the rest of it later. Thanks!

      1. Good point, every time you see pictures of Iranian girls protesting the portable tents they are drop dead gorgeous.

    1. Lol now I have to reread Hitchhikers Guide.

      I am going to be hanging on tight to my favorite towel this Tuesday when the results come in.

      1. I can’t imagine Biden sitting in a meeting wearing his bejewelled battle shorts. (That was in the original BBC radio series. I don’t think it made it into the TV adaptation or the books.)

      1. Great choice Nancy. Halloween 2020 will be celebrated under a blue moon.
        BTW Rodgers and Hart wrote the song back in 1934.

    2. This is interesting: “As a result (of increased immigration) , Australia has been a part of the on-average 68 percent fall in global wildlife populations between 1970 and 2016. Some Australian species’ numbers have plummeted by up to 97 percent, primarily due to habitat loss.”

      Now, how does the left get away with pushing the false global warming claim because of the supposed destruction of the environment and ignoring this? Could they be hypocrites?

  6. Life after California – SpaceX’s Starship poised to launch Texas’ space industry into new era

    SpaceX “sent the first NASA astronauts to space from American soil since 2011, celebrated the 100th successful Falcon 9 rocket flight and landed an Air Force contract — worth billions — to launch 40 percent of the nation’s classified payloads from 2022 to 2024.”

    “in mid-November, SpaceX is scheduled to send a four-person crew to the International Space Station.”

    the flurry of activity at Boca Chica is related to the company’s frustration over Florida and California launch costs as well as the slow pace of government acquisitions and the military’s reluctance to take risks. “…got so fed up with the Air Force charging them $13 million every time they would launch or land at either Cape Canaveral or Vandenberg Air Force Base that they decided to just build their own plot,” It takes the Air Force eight years to do what SpaceX could do in one year.

    “We’re talking about probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of missions to Mars by something the size (of the) Starship,”
    Earlier this month, U.S. Transportation Command… announced that San Antonio’s Exploration Architecture, XArc, … the military and SpaceX (are) to develop a capability to move people or cargo anywhere on earth in an hour or less using the Starship.

    (open link) https://www.israellycool.com/2020/10/28/senior-canadian-government-advisor-nizam-siddiqui-unleashes-on-the-jews/

    Oct. 30, 2020 – Two days after the story breaks, Bob Fife of the Globe & Mail “bravely,” err… “belatedly” reports that Nizam Siddiqui, a senior analyst at the federal Privy Council Office in Ottawa, which supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the federal cabinet, is facing an internal investigation after allegations that anti-Semitic comments were posted on his social-media account. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre recently told the Privy Council Office that the Facebook page of one of its senior officials contained anti-Semitic posts. The two groups say that posts on the Facebook page of Nizam Siddiqui make disparaging comments about the genetic background of Jewish people and claim many Jews participated in or enabled Nazi atrocities.

    Feb. 28, 2018 – Here is our humble civil servant back in a 2018 Ottawa Citizen interview hoping that a recent attack doesn’t lead to increased Islamophobia. “The radicalism is not Islam,” Siddiqui said.

  8. Greta Thunberg’s perfect petroleum-free world

    Greta wakes up to “a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks”. “What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
    “The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.

    “But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta. “Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.” “What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.” “Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based.

    Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/10/30/friday-funny-greta-thunbergs-perfect-petroleum-free-world/

    1. Not just Greta. Remember how our PM-in-waiting said that Canada needs to be “decarbonized” as part of “building back better”?

        1. Actually, I was referring to our minster of everything, What’s-her-name. But, yeah, he can go first into the brave new world….. without soma.

      2. Another good find PHP2.
        The only things needing “decarbonization” in this country is Groper, Rainbow Turban and the LPOC/NDP commies.

      3. As we -peoplekind- are carbon based (I learned that from the first Star Trek series back in the 1960’s), then that means at least half of the world’s population should be killed. We should start with Prime Minister Trudeau and his extended family as they can set examples for the rest of us.
        As an aside, I got rid of some fair-weather NDP “friends” years ago with that idea. They were twittering on about how there were too many people in this world (what they really meant is that there are too many black, brown and Asian people) and that they should be culled. I suggested that they start with themselves, their daughter and her husband and their 2 grandchildren. I have not hear from them since – going on 10 years now.

      1. Thanks guys – on a similar note have you seen this? History repeats itself – The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894

        One of Al Gore’s ancestors must have worked for the London Times: “This problem came to a head when in 1894, The Times newspaper predicted… “In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure.”.

        Did this manure alarmism lead to a Paris Manure Accord?
        https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Great-Horse-Manure-Crisis-of-1894/

        1. We still have a horse manure crisis, but, this time, it’s of the intellectual kind.

      1. Nancy – I remember that one.
        In this WaPo article the author notes two kinds of hypocrite a. the well meaning kind (read Democrat) and b. the “ugly kind of hypocrite” (no doubt Republican). Then she states “Greta Thunberg is neither kind. If anyone lives according to her convictions, she does”. She notes her dad bought a gas guzzling SUV so that he can get up his driveway when it snows three times a year. He’s the good kind of hypocrite because “He would happily vote for someone who would make it illegal for him to buy an SUV. But until the laws changed, he was sticking with OPEC. I think she just described the mentality of the average Dem.

        https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/most-of-us-are-hypocrites-on-climate-change-maybe-thats-progress/2019/08/25/21e49b4e-c5cd-11e9-b5e4-54aa56d5b7ce_story.html

        1. Yes. Those gang-greens can’t be seen to be meat lovers either. After all, animals cause flatulence. Not good for the climate. Greta looks pale and sick, imo.

          I once wrote here about a Vegan guest I had overnight. I did my best to accommodate her dietary needs. When she returned years later, I tried the same. Meanwhile however, in the interim, she became a meat eater again. I didn’t bother to ask any questions but I was hoping she’d offer an explanation for her reconversion. She didn’t offer any.

          My theory is that these people become anemic over time. They become Vegans just long enough to make others convert to Veganism. Then they sneak back to eating meat.

          Another one that I was acquainted with became orange skinned! Yes orange, she was. She probably drank too many carrot infused health shakes. This blond girl looked crazy imo. I later saw her looking somewhat better and she was back to being the gorgeous woman that she always was. My guess, she too, ditched the meatless diet. There’s simply not enough protein in beans and tofu to build muscle to sustain good health.

          1. Nancy – one of my favourite vegan burgers is made from the striploin part of the vegan.

          4. Nancy:

            I shamelessly admit I stole the idea for my last comment from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. When plagiarizing, why not filch from the best, eh?

          5. @ 6:04 B–
            “that famous knight of old, Sir Loin of Vegan…..”
            Ha! Sounds like something Groucho Marx would’ve said!

          6. Well, in Duck Soup, Groucho’s character was named Rufus T. Firefly, while in A Night at the Opera, he was Otis P. Driftwood.

    1. Maybe his anti-Semitic remarks are just part of Blackie’s government efforts to make the one million muslim immigrants being brought here over the next three years feel welcome.

    2. What’s the fine for speaking hate against the Jews? $500 bucks probably.

      And if you’re publishing Mohammed cartoons… we’ll just ask Ezra about the cost of that one.

  10. https://mobile.twitter.com/VenturaReport/status/1322263981856301058

    The few entrepreneurs crazy enough to still operate businesses in the overwhelmingly black city of Washington, DC, have made preparations for the orgy of destruction the “African-American” community are certain to engage in once they realize Sister Kamala isn’t going to be president.

    Unfortunately, it is not clear President Trump can count on the army’s obeying orders to put down the riots right away. The law-abiding will be on their own for at least the first few days.

    1. When the riots happened in Los Angeles a number of years ago, police refused to go into the affected area. One Jewish guy who had survived the holocaust and luckily also survived the riots said he would never be without a gun again. Without one in that context, you were helpless. In that same situation, shopkeepers without guns were looted. Those with guns were able to protect their property. Canadians sneer at the gun culture in the States, but on one level it is taking responsibility. Canadians rely on the government to protect them, but that is starting to look more and more dicey.

      1. Linda if the government protection because of “the virus” is any example they will just kill us streets.

    2. Here is a clip from War Room Pandemic where they feature a Zoom call picked up by Millie Weaver
      Go to the 34:15 minute mark where the Deep State is working with Antifa on a Zoom Call for a shutdown of The White House access points, Mapping where the Police stations and key govt buildings, where Republicans live. And a call to shutdown Washington DC, and other major cities starting on Nov 4 to Inauguration Day.
      They want to create a social crisis that they control.
      Its an 8 – 10 minute story.

  11. Two entertaining bits of satire for the weekend (PS: one of these things is actually real)….

    1. “ ’We are consistent in every approach whether we’re responding to a robbery or an active shooter situation – we’re nowhere to be found,’ said Staff Sgt Smith.
    The RCMP was quick to clarify that systematic racism does exist in Canada.
    ‘Just look at all the hate crimes we’re not investigating.’”
    https://www.thebeaverton.com/2020/10/nova-scotia-rcmp-claim-theyre-not-racist-since-they-cant-protect-white-people-either/

    2. The Ontario Hockey League will not have bodychecking this coming season, according to Lisa MacLeod, Ontario’s Minister of Sport. (apparently breathing heavily and skating next to each other is perfectly safe)
    https://www.preecevilleprogress.com/ontario-hockey-league-bans-bodychecking-1.24230592

    1. Doug Ford.
      Cino.
      Is Ontario the home of the Dumbest of all?
      It’s a very close, very competitive race here in the the home of not one but two Trudeaus elected and re-elected.
      Not to forget the openly ugly Media.
      Very competitive.

    2. All my canine step-brother is interested in is playing “fetch”, but he certainly enjoys looking for his toy of choice when he can’t immediately see where it landed.

    3. My dog is smarter still!
      I show him a treat, he looks at it, sits down, ignores me, waits until I lose interest and give him the treat regardless of what he does. You see my friends, he’s smart enough to figure out that I didn’t buy the treats for myself and eventually I will give it to him. Dog logic.

  14. The main story at the Liberal Party’s CBC this morning is that Trump is Hitler. And they remind everyone to watch Rosemary Barton’s new show. During the first episode on Sunday she will be interviewing former finance minister Morneau. He will be explaining that he is wonderful, Justin is wonderful, and the Liberal Party is wonderful.

    1. ” … And they remind everyone to watch Rosemary Barton’s new show. During the first episode on Sunday …”

      Leave it to stupid CBC to compete against Jimmy Swaggert and Tammy Fae reruns.

    2. I “observed” that interaction with Morneau, but the sound was off. Too far to reach the remote.

      1. Rather suspect the people in SE BC aren’t overly happy either. Despite that area being a major source of both income for Victoria (think the Trail smelter and – though now shut down – the Kimberley mines ) and also being very heavily unionized, that whole area is getting mauled by west coast urbanites who think it should become a green sanctuary (and forget the people who’ve lived there for generations).

        Back in the day, grew up in that area, and the comment among the men in the neighbourhood was that “Canada ended at the Rockies and BC ended at Hope”. They were wrong about the eastern border: that was more likely at the Lakehead. But they were right about the BC end, even if it did temporarily move to the Okanagan during the Bennett regime. We were living in “wartime housing” which was only open to those who had served in the armed forces during WW II and their families. What strikes me now, many years later, is that these men who had grown up during the Depression and served in WW II could – while being so clearheaded about how the country was run – could still instill in us, their children, an optimism about the future which would allow us to head out into a world where we felt there was a good future.

        Looking back, those men were right: my generation has had a good future. I worry for our children and the grandbrats, and I will do what I can to ensure their future is not compromised.

  16. No mention of the terrorist attacks in France at the Liberal Party’s Saturday Toronto Star. But they have a major story that Islamophobic Christians are running rampant in the Ford government. In other news at the Saturday Star, editorial that Trump is Hitler. More Trump is Hitler stories. More Ford is Hitler stories. Justin is wonderful for bringing in one million muslims over the next three years. Indians need more money. Islam is wonderful. Socialism is wonderful. Justin is wonderful. The Liberal Party is wonderful. Canadians are racist bastards.

    1. Oh, darn!

      Aside from the Bond flicks, my favourite Connery movies are The Man Who Would Be King and The Hunt for Red October.

          1. I remember that sketch. It lampooned several movies, including Beckett and The Lion In Winter.

        1. If he had taken the contract he was offered for Gandalf in Lord of the Rings he would’ve been the most highly paid actor in history.

          Didn’t feel he wanted to commit that much time to one project.

      3. Connery also made his share of clunkers and “what was he thinking” movies. I didn’t like Wrong Is Right and Zardoz was, frankly, bizarre. (Imagine Connery’s costume consisting of a thong and a ponytail and the latter goes downhill from there. Then again, it was directed by John Boorman, whose movies were sometimes a touch weird. Excalibur was one of his.)

  18. actually good that he didnt even try to put on a russian accent
    i thought he was good as Indiana jones father and i liked him in finding forester

    1. actually good that he didnt even try to put on a russian accent

      He could make his Scottish accent sound like just about any other language. In The Man Who Would Be King, I believe his character was Irish, while in The Wind and the Lion, he played a Berber chieftain. In both, he sounded credible, though, I’m sure, purists would disagree.

      1. His paternal great grandfather moved from Ireland to Scotland in the 19th century. He was like many, Scots-Irish.

        Read his biography years ago.
        Connery liked a good fight.
        R.I.P. Sir Thomas Sean Connery…

        “Malone’s Methods” (1987) (2:42)

    2. I remember one comic doing a bit about the filming of Highlander.

      Director: Okay, now everyone in this scene is from Scotland.
      Sean Connery: Good.
      Director: Except for you Sean, you’re an ancient Egyptian that has spent the last 400 years living in Japan.

      1. It’s actually the 503rd anniversary of Luther nailing the 95 Theses on the church door in 1517, though I doubt that Reformation Day would have been observed that early.

        The arrangement is likely one that Luther would have recognized as the style was typical of Renaissance era music.

        1. Yes, of course, my error. It’s an anniversary as such.
          Martin Luther was courageous and was to be admired for his belief.

          1. People often overlook that Luther wasn’t the only reformer. He was preceded by people such as Bohemian theologian Jan Hus and Italian friar Girolamo Savanarola. Luther also had contemporaries, such as Thomas Müntzer in Germany and Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland.

            Let’s not forget that Luther was not just a clergyman but a scholar, an educated man, so he knew what he was referring to. At the Diet of Worms in 1521, he emphasized that unless he could be proven wrong in Scripture, he would not recant his beliefs.

          2. @ 3:09 B —
            Three months after being excommunicated Luther was called to defend his beliefs before Holy Roman Emperor Charles V where he was famously defiant. For his refusal to recant his writings, the emperor declared him an outlaw and a heretic. Luther was protected by powerful German princes, however, and by his death in 1546, the course of Western civilization had been significantly altered.

          3. It was during that time that Luther stayed in Schloss Wartburg, taking the opportunity to translate the Bible into German.

            It occurred to me that Luther’s posting of the 95 Theses happened at the right time. A generation earlier, the last of the Moors were driven out of western Europe. Many of the great voyages of discovery were made, leading to new knowledge and new ideas, so people were receptive to new insights. Earlier still was the invention of the printing press, as we know it, by Johannes Gutenberg, which made it easier to disseminate those ideas.

            I wouldn’t be surprised if Luther understood the significance of that.

          4. @ 3:57pm   B—

            You’re right about the importance of the Gutenberg printing press. It was the number one greatest invention in the last millennium.

            Saw an interesting TV documentary at the turn of the century about the best 1000 inventions in the last 1000 years. Here’s a list of the best ten:

            https://ehistory.osu.edu/articles/greatest-inventions-past-1000-years

            P.S. if Martin Luther were reading our internet exchange he would be most impressed by this technology and doubly so because the exchange was about him and his work 503 years ago.

          2. Hmmmm…..

            I suspect that the main server is out of action for the moment, or, maybe Steven (or is it Stephan?) Guilbeault has started his Internet censorship campaign by blocking that site.

  21. Erin O’Trojan Horse made a speech yesterday; anyone hear about it?

    The NP says he basically laid out an anti-China position. He also bemoaned the decline of unions in the private sector. Like a good Liberal he claims “…free-markets alone are not enough…” “We need policies to build solidarity, not just wealth”.

    The G&M reports his speech as being about inequality “It’s time Conservatives took inequality seriously” He also bemoaned the decline in private sector unions.

    The man’s a raving Liberal (as if we didn’t already know) but he is completely out to lunch to suggest Conservatives don’t care about “inequality” which he doesn’t explain but notes that we should “…create wealth so that we can GIVE BACK to those who need it…” GIVE BACK? As if what little wealth I have was taken from the needy or something. Bloody insulting.

    He should be pointing out the problems and expounding the Conservative solution and comparing it to the Liberal and Socialist solutions. Instead, he’s saying “look I’m a liberal too, you can vote for me”.

    1. Well said Robert.

      “Give back what” — that’s for billionaires.

      These pasty pampered politicians pass piddly and push other people’s policies because they have precious poo-poo themselves.

      Their heads turn to puke, they’re so pissed on their precious pensions.

  23. A priest has been shot in France. Waiting for Justin to say it has nothing to do with islam.

    1. The local yokel police have stated that “no motive is known as yet”, and that the anti-terrorist police have not been brought in as yet. Same old, same old.

  24. During a press conference Friday, the Canadian prime minister was asked what he thought about the right to depict Muhammed in relation to the recent public violence in France.

    The prime minister answered that he would “always defend freedom of expression.” He then added: “But freedom of expression is not without limits. You can’t, for example, shout ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theatre; there are always limits. In a pluralistic, diverse and respectful society like ours, we must be aware of the impact of our words and actions on others, especially those communities and populations that still experience a great deal of discrimination.”

    In other words Turdeau loves his muslim friends more than you so be careful out there as he does not have your back. Wear your hockey neck guard.

    1. Historic church in Austria has been trashed inside by a group of thirty or forty young muslim Turks. Nothing to do with islam of course.

    2. You can’t shout fire in a movie theater- Unless of course there IS a fire.
      It’s not a movie theater and it isn’t a fire Numbnuts. It’s the whole friggtin ‘country and it’s worse than a fire.

      1. Don’t you just love messing with polls. The phone polls are a lot more interesting to play with. Sure it takes up a lot of time but I’m retired, and to me it’s free entertainment. Especially on election night when I can tune in and watch democrats tears and the wailing and gnashing of teeth when they find out the polls are wrong. Only poll that means anything is the one on Tuesday night. If enough in person votes appear on Tuesday all of their plans to steal the election will be chaff in the wind.

    1. Does the movie cover the African and Arab slavers too? Also, does it mention, just in passing maybe, that slavery was endemic to the world until the white European Christians stopped it?

      1. I saw the first 2 episodes. It’s slow going, boring at times, and melodramatic in places. So far, they mentioned the African Slavers but not the Arab ones which doesn’t surprise me. There are 4 more episodes to view as it started October18th and airs Sunday evenings. I have it programmed on PVR. Will let you know how it goes. So far, it’s a ‘meh.’

        1. Nancy – have they mentioned the indigenous slavers yet? Slavery was rife throughout North America long before Columbus set sail. On the west coast, there were potlatches at which chiefs would disavow their riches. Some of that was by killing their slaves; have seen a “slave-killer” club – it was to designed to be really lethal.

          1. Frances,
            In the 2 episodes featured so far only the ‘African’ slave trade was discussed.

            The series is available on CBC cable “On Demand” if you wish to catch it.

    1. Ask him why his party supported the Temporary Foreign Workers program.

    2. My precise comment elsewhere. O’Trojan Horse O’Foole O’PPC and O’Blue Party of Ontario
