I send this email a few moments ago to a friend in national media — and he is a friend.
We watched pipelines get cancelled, LNG plants yanked, Caledonia thrown to the wolves — and Spendy McBlackface take a knee over some dead guy in Minneapolis.
Did the national media and professional left really think the business of bringing government and industry to a standstill would always remain the exclusive jurisdiction of Liberal rent-a-mobs?
And that’s the real problem, yes? There’s no one to call them off. Think about that. The professional protests of the left have structure, a chain of command and big money funders to direct them.
These protests don’t. They’re completely organic, which means they can spread and grow without the help of a Soros backed foundation. And it’s fucking glorious.
(BTW, have you ever read Kurt Schlichter’s “new rules” pieces? You really should. If you haven’t, let me send you a couple quick links).
Randy Kenney From Trailer Park Boys Needs to Resign Along With That Disgraceful Racist Blackface Trudeau. That Pup Out of Old Fidel
Lol. And Ricky Ford.
Thumbs up for use of the word ‘organic’
“I prefer organic non GMO food, you are what you eat!”
-some jabbed liberal progressive, probably
The irony of not wanting to eat GMO food while getting injected with mRNA is thick enough to cut with a knife.
Oh, now that is good.
Especially since GMO DNA is totally obliterated by the time you’re done chewing and it heads for your stomach. The mRNA in the injection interacts with your cellular DNA.
I prefer inorganic carrots; they have more crunch.
Lotsa iron.
That’s one instance where “organic” does not mean “grown in pigs’ shit” – even if there are plenty of pigs around! The goose said “Honk”! OP officer responded “oink!”
Looking forward to the response.
The total opposite response to the taxpayers revolting compared to the BLM/Antifa riots speaks volumes about who the politicians, bureaucrats and MSM are working for. It is not us, the ones bankrolling their lavish lifestyles, that they are working for.
Trudeau and the Liberals caused this protest to happen, because of their ridiculous mandate for vaccination of cross border truck drivers.
Heaven forbid the idiot Liberals ever admit that they were wrong!
Fucking morons like Trudeau, Butts, Telford and Carney will cause the end of Canada if they don’t back off now!
We have lots of rope to make custom fitted neck ties!
A very tired old white guy says hmmmm. Respond in kind.
Exactly. The left thought the right would always be a pushover and be content to just sit back and let the left attack and destroy with impunity. They never thought the other side would ever start to copy their tactics.
@Mark: And since the ‘other side’ was MIA or in bed with the Left, people took the matter in their own hands. This is a revolution of regular people. Conservatives are kinda’ with the wave but the reality is that not all, maybe not even half. Since official Opposition was with their heads in the sand, simple working Canadians took the job of opposing the clueless elites.
The CPC is controlled opposition.
The Canadian people are now an uncontrolled opposition. As you said, the job was vacant.
Spot on
they lack the ability to understand what they are dealing with, so they don’t know how to deal with it. Even as simple as the answer is, stupid effers!
It’s an emergent system, with emergent properties to characterize it.
People who believe in top-down, command-and-control systems (“let’s rent some protestors!”) can’t fathom these spontaneously-generated movements.
I wonder if Matt Gurney’s paying attention.
Indeed.
It seems the renaissance and the enlightenment may have actually worked, and our culture may actually have a deeply ingrained self-correction and protection mechanism, whether or not it is enshrined in a document, and the elites just jumped the gun, and tried to force things before our culture was watered-down enough.
I hadn’t thought of this. Yes, I think this may be part of a good explanation. Now, compare and contrast this to the similar efforts to establish a Resistance in OZ, that just didn’t catch on. What do you think could account for the difference?
While not a fan of Gurney, or any other mediot spewing crap daily, we do need to recognize, that the Trucker protest is more than a random, lucky protest.
There is a master genius running this, or genii(?) that has war gamed this, and seems very prepared for the unexpected, to troll it right back at the enemy, effectively and thoroughly.
That’s not random chance.
It’s 4 dimensional chess!
Checkmate Blackie!
“Trucker protest is more than a random, lucky protest……..It’s 4 dimensional chess!”
Could be. I have wondered, myself, why similar efforts in OZ, over the past several months, never got any traction. After all, the arrogance of the Australian authorities was even more outrageous and in your face. So why Canada, why now? I bounce between the thoughts that it was just a spontaneous movement, whose time had come, or that there was a greater strategic/logistical intelligence behind the Canadian convoy. If it is down to planning and intelligence. was it a single person or the leadership team?
The success could, also, be down to the initial failure of the authorities to respond effectively. They could have seized the high ground and coopted the energy of the resistance. Too late, now. Clearly, they never anticipated a spontaneous populist pushback. I think they actually convinced themselves that it was a fringe movement. Their flailing and cheesy response enabled the convoy to gain even more momentum. Safe to say, there are no savy, quick thinking, adroit statesmen in the government camp. The Resistance didn’t turn Trudeau et al, into a worldwide laughingstock; they did it to themselves.
The “authorities” and media were too busy laughing at the convoy.
For the eastern mind, it was just bunch of yahoo’s until it hit Winnipeg. Like Kate says, “Saskatchewan was the worst place to weather Wuhan except for all the other provinces.” We haven’t had the lock-downs like other places, other than the mandates and the masks it’s been pretty normal. There isn’t enough anger here because we haven’t been set upon by our government so the convoy passed through with little fan-fare.
Once the convoy hit Winnipeg and the crowds became bigger and bigger that’s when the the smarter ones started to worry. It wasn’t until the Sault that panic started because of the public tribute usually reserved for the fallen being returned home and then it was too late.
Does this friends name rhyme with Brian Lilley? The shoe fits on lots of others who are controlled opposition as well.
That was beautiful, Kate.
I love the bit about no-one there to call them off.
Their hatred of all things de-centralized is quite evident.
Its gonna be a long slog, but it’ll be worth it.
Federal and provincial governments have created a lot of bad blood with citizens over the last two years. Not just mandates and passports but loved ones dying alone, overdoses and suicides from lockdowns, strained relationships, depression etc. The freedom convoy gives people an outlet for those grievances. So, yes, it may have started for one reason but is growing for other reasons. Uncontrolled and chaotic growth is very possible. Luckily most Canadians are peaceful, even when angry.
Federal and provincial governments have murdered thousands in the last two years.
Sure, Canadians are peaceful, until we’re not. It’ll take an attack on the protesters by the gov’t, and don’t think for a second that they won’t do it when they get desperate enough.
Did you catch Corporal Bulford’s speech? They tried just enough so as not to make it look like genocide. Yet.
I think the Turd jumped the gun, pushed the agenda too far too fast, now its all coming apart, and a good thing, too.
Perhaps his buddies in the WEF will punish him by harvesting his organs.
Perhaps his buddies in the WEF will punish him by harvesting his organs.
They’ll come up short: no brain, no heart, no spine, no guts, and definitely lacking in the source of testicular fortitude.
All I know is that it is long past time for governments to show goodwill instead of more insults and authoritarianism. A good start would be restoring rights and dialogue with protestors. People have been under immense stress for two years so it’s time for governments to build bridges instead of blowing them up.
Those who have visited this misery on billions must be made to suffer.
Its called “justice”
They want a lockdown do they? Welp looks like the truckers are delivering.
Understand that this is not the topic of this post.
It is very interesting thought where a nurse is telling the CeeBeeCee to report the truth, one guy sez its not up to him.
Anyway you may find it rather powerful, the lady has a lot of power.
Nurse Kristen Nagle shames CBC workers in Ottawa
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/nurse-drops-bombs-on-cbc-hack-reporters/
Stay strong he tells her. Would he tell a trucker that? God bless Kristen Nagle. In a way Vito, this is NOT off topic. Thanks for the share. Shame on CBC.
On topic.
Just saw that too. Just doing muh job mam for the fake news. These people are absolute scumbags.
I haven’t watched or listened to CBC since 2015 because they’ve got their heads so far up Turdo’s ass that they’ve got “ring around the collar”. This nurse has something important to say to them, and they won’t hear it.
Lowest Common Denominator. Eventually you sink to the level of your opponent. If they don’t want you to go there then they shouldn’t go there themselves. They set the rules, now they have to play by them.
They are willing to sink much, much lower than they have so far. I only pray we are too, otherwise, we lose.
That sums up the problem for Trudeau and the various Premiers, they don’t control those who are protesting, it’s uncharted waters for them, so let them be angry as they are more apt to make an error…
It’d be so good to hear Andrew Breitbart’s commentary on the convoys.
That’s to the heart of the beast. Thanks Kate. More please.

This is the organic workers’ revolution they claimed to want.
They never thought they’d be the ones looking at going to hell or Siberia, did they?
By my calculations (based on the 1973 revolution in Chile), we’ll need to make an example 15,000 pieces of globalist trash, and send 150,000 more to jail for a long, long time, just to clean house, never mind do any real renovation.
Once they realize they’re dealing with a real dictatorship of the proletariat, the rest will gradually speak no more of their entitlements.
After the repudiation of the debts of the globalist Government of Canada, to which the Canadian people never genuinely consented, those entitlements will become worthless anyway.
Repudiating debt would be a good way to make everyone’s pensions and mutual funds and bank accounts instantly worthless.
The bigger a person’s bank account, the more likely she is to be demanding that her dreamboat Justin send big men with machine guns to mow down women and children in Centretown.
She is also more likely to not have bothered having children herself.
Do you know when human beings stopped reproducing? When they started expecting the bank and the corporation or the government to take care of them in old age, instead of having children and raising them right.
Burning Bay Street down will not be the catastrophe you think it would be.
Planet Lockdown.
Not jail–we can send them to Hans Island where they can all live happy lives pursuing their green agenda and woke politics.
Kate: BTW, have you ever read Kurt Schlichter’s “new rules” pieces? You really should. If you haven’t, let me send you a couple quick links).
This may seem like a trivial observation, but bear me out. That is a polite, courteous way of getting an opponent (esp. a friend) to consider a different viewpoint. Mention the subject with a brief synopsis and invite him to request the link. If he doesn’t, no problem, no hard feelings. Too often we just barge in with links. Please don’t ask how I learned this.
Why doesn’t she just post the links?

How many people have they harassed at their homes over the years? Maybe it’s time for them to reconsider their behaviour.
What’s not “safe” for the CTV crew? That they have received a stern talking-to by the Trucker public? That they have been told of the SHAME they should feel for their propaganda and lies? That they were verbally “assaulted” by a nurse and the video received more views than all of their weeks programming?
Yeah. That’s what leftists call unsafe.
While they always felt safe when BLM and ANTIFA burned and looted shit, and Native agitprops tore down statues.
Well said Kate. I agree 100%! The left changes the rules to gain an advantage. They think they can tilt the playing field and there will be no consequences. Then it boomerangs right back – it might take a while, but it does.
The elites are discovering that 5th generation warfare is hard.
It ain’t warfare yet, it’s still just civil disobedience.
Conservative Advantage
(the theory that Conservatives can guess how I Left will act in a given situation more often that the reverse)
Left/Conservative isn’t just how you vote, it is how you process information.
A Left believes things should be Fair and Fair for Everyone. The think Big Picture and know their view is correct and everything would only be better if everyone else submitted and agreed.
A Conservative is actually selfish. They observe the Big Picture are unwilling to throw their families and loved ones under a bus to please some abstract concept of ‘Social Justice’. So typically they will observe and take notes. If they see an advantage they will modify their behaviour. If they don’t? Ain’t Broke Why Fix? Most of them just want to be left alone to do their thing and make sure those they love are cared for to the best of their ability.
They are actually very open minded and flexible…
Unless you start threatening their loved ones.
Then they get angry and then they start to team up.
Lefties don’t think that way. They think as a group based on what is the current topic they are meant to be supporting. Cause it is right. And if only everyone else would agree then everything would be better.
Because Lefties don’t like being with people who disagree they are surrounded by other Lefties and they all agree with each other (or get cancelled). So they have this pre formed opinion on who/what/why they are protesting.
So when a Conservative group finally get pissed off enough to act they are confused. It is not what you do? You guys don’t even agree on things? Why are you acting together suddenly? You don’t even CARE about Social Justice!
It honestly confuses and frightens them because they are so used to Conservatives just more or less ignoring them and, in their eyes, submitting to what is ‘Right’.
The plus side to being a Conservative is when the situation really gets bad you know other Conservatives will support you.
The neg side is once that issue is resolved we like to disperse back into our homes and spend time with our loved ones. That is our end game. We just want to be left alone and that is when the Left start to steal back.
Stand up for your principles!
Lets Honk Brandon!

Thanks!
If you want it done right,do it yourself.
For decades we have allowed contractors to convince us,that they can cure the rot in our body politics.
Except the rot keeps on growing and these “helpers” work for a different master.
These last two years have been a flash point,where the Parasitic Overload have decreed that they rule.
There is no normal to return to.
And no one can call off the wrath of the silent majority.
Finally it is happening..Our “Political Scientists” are aghast,for popular uprisings are all astro turf in their world.
Watch the Presstitutes,they are beginning to feel the love.
Interesting days indeed.
There is a deep anger at play here,the level of betrayal by politician and bureaucrat is unforgivable.
Decent and productive citizens made criminals by act of damn fool politicians?
Damn them and destroy them.
Who can unsee,the utter incompetence,arrogance and insanity of these two years of Dread Covid Theatre?
This is how our little helpers respond to a crisis?
They are the crisis.
Fire them all.
Investigate them all.
Stupidity?
Evil?
Results are the same.
They must be rewarded.
Never again.
Oh wait that was the cry after the last bunch of Statist Thugs tried to rule the world.
Open carry compulsory for all taxpayers.
None for tax takers.
Herd thinning actively encouraged.
Forward!
