Why this blog?
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."

Why people like this teaching our kids?
What you said, a@c. I truly believe that if you abolished teachers’ unions and made the requirements for teaching more difficult, people like him would be few and far in between.
Because they don’t have the skills to do much else?
What’s the difference between Michael Erickson and a Totalitarian Government Apparatchik in East Germany of old?
From Rate My Teachers:
– He has favourites. I’m so tired of listening to him ramble on and on about gender issues/inequality/lgbt. WE GET IT. What happened to learning about REAL english? He is an unfair marker. If you don’t write about what HE wants you to write about, you get a bad mark. I HATE IT. I’ve always gotten marks in the 90s in English. With him, I’m hanging by a thread. He should be a full time counsellor, not a teacher.
– Maybe he should focus on teaching feminist theory instead of English …
(Cross-post from reader tips.)
In contrast, the CBC doesn’t have to worry about intolerant NDP candidates complaining it’s not transgendered/two-spirited enough.
Yeah, it’s so outrageous that some parents don’t want their eight-year-olds being taught about things like transgender issues and “gender fluidity” in school, or being fed anti-family, anti-tradition, almost dystopian propaganda in comic books.
The “Royal We” attitude of the progressives is beyond presumptuous. Their attitude is essentially “WE don’t say things like that”, or “these are the views WE hold”, and by “we” they mean “everybody.”
Get stuffed, Erickson. Royally.
As an aside, I *still* can’t believe how great Sun News TV is. Their evening lineup in particular is superb all the way through. If you don’t have it, get it.
I agree with EBD…THANK GOD for Sun News Network. They are proving to be even more conservative than Fox News. The only weakness in the lineup is David Akin.
Love them!
As for that so-called “teacher”, well I’m too much of a lady to say what I really want to say…
All of the above. I saw Brian’s talk this evening and thought he handled the Marxist Erickson well.
It is great that Sun News is shining a light on the rats.
Sun News is waiving the jaw bone of an ass to victory 🙂
‘I *still* can’t believe how great Sun News TV is. Their evening lineup in particular is superb all the way through. If you don’t have it, get it.’ If only I could, EBD.
The Northwestel outfit in the Yukon still claim that they do not know of any TV station named Sun News!! I have phoned them on and off for the past year, they have five or six American news stations – finally they got Fox News last year – no Fox Business- 5 or six French channels, Global, CTV, BBC,and the big CBC on three or four channels; gazillions of sports channels, Italian, Al Quadia – but they have never heard of a Canadian News Channel called Sun News. They are dinosours at best, lefty censors at worst. Sad. When I remember the Last Frontier freedom loving, independent souls who lived and worked here (not for the gument either ) only 3 decades ago before the Yukon had elected King Tony Ding Dong and his Dipper piglets; that group chased all the miners, hunters and free business people out – the Cigarette smoke ban fanatics drove out the tourists – now the Yukon sits on it’s fat thighs with its hand out and a stunned look on the face of this mighty majesty. Robert Service would never believe his eyes if he saw the Yukon today.
I am thinking of dropping telus tv because they don’t carry Sun TV
When I remember the Last Frontier freedom loving, independent souls who lived and worked here (not for the gument either ) only 3 decades ago before the Yukon had elected King Tony Ding Dong and his Dipper piglets; that group chased all the miners, hunters and free business people out –
Interesting opinion, but unfortunately inconsistent with the facts. The health of the Yukon economy is directly related to world metal prices. Local politics is merely a distraction.
What’s happening to Sun sounds to me like extortion. Or just plain old bullying. Why are these “Yahoos” allowed to get away with it.
I’m also wondering why it’s all about sex, all the time, with those on the left….and what the hell is “intersexed”. I’m afraid to google it! HAHAHAHA!
WE have to fight this folks. Its been obvious the “progressives” are kicking back. Using of course the Courts or Lawyers since what they propose is anti-family. Would not stand the day of real democracy.
There in a panic because they don’t own the culture anymore, nor the full media anymore.
The Monopoly is over, so now these Marxists try to go the low dirty road , which lets admit they are experts.
Free & Strong folks, lets keep it that way & to the rubbish heap with the sex obsessed so called teachers. Who are pushing an agenda way beyond children comprehension. These fiends only true desire is to sexualize children as young as possible.Without the parents permission. This is called forced indoctrination. Like forcing a religion on people no matter what. Thats the REAL truth, the awful reason for their ire at being thwarted, or even challenged…
Maybe you should do a little reading North of 60: ‘The health of the Yukon economy is directly related to world metal prices. Local politics is merely a distraction.’ have a look here: http://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/mtp-eng.asp
$21,500.00 per person!! Even Kabec gets less than $3000.00 per person. The Yukon gets 750 million dollars for 30,000 people (and about half of those warm bodies live on reservations so they are receiving direct Fed funding). The metal prices are a romantic notion some people tend to try to pin the welfare prosperity on so they can ‘feel good’ about living up here in the ‘wild north’ – it is the ‘control capital’ of Canada and would be flat on it’s face without it’s Ottawa nanny. You maybe did not live here when the Yukon mined for real – not just on paper.
Yeah, so? Per capita funding for the other territories is even greater. It’s the cost of sovereignty. It’s always been like that. The party in power doling out those fed funds is immaterial. The fed funds are the baseline that keeps everything running. When metal prices are high the Yukon private sector economy picks up, when metal prices are low it slumps. It’s been that way for the four decades I’ve been here and for decades before that.
The Yukon mines for real, every clean-up tells me that.
There are no reservations in the Yukon, you should know that.

And you are saying politics can’t fawk up the economy,60? Give your cold-frozen brain a shake! All one has to do is compare Saskatchewan pre/post Dipper control. Or Manitoba still under NDPee control,or the States under extreme Dipper control.
Gold could be a million bucks a GRAM and silver a thousand. It means diddly-squat when your gubermint regulates industry out of business or they leave. And all the Dippers/Lieberals I know and have seen in action, never met or thought of a regulation/tax they didn’t sink their leech sucking teeth into.
On topic, the commie Erickson just proves again that all lefties are for free speech,as long as it is their diktat you talk about glowingly.
Bell ExpressVu is suppose to have Sun Tv available again starting (sometime) Nov. 28th on channel 506 over here in Eastern Ontario. It is included in the basic package.
I’m not sure what HD channel….but it will be there someplace!
We pulled our children out of the “government” school system 25 years ago over this exact crap.
Their approach is always “values neutral”.
the message the kids get is that there is none to be considered.
A month ago, National Post bowed to this pressure. They issued an apology (for the ad) and donated the cost of the ad to a Gay Awareness group.
I cancelled my subscription as this is the only way I can object to their decision.
Whether I agree or disagree with the ad campaign is irrelevant. My issue is the way NP folded and effectively said that dissenting views are not allowed to be discussed in this country.
That is so Gay!
Don’t be gay like gubment drone slaphead Michael Erickson.
glengarian – I believe Bell is making it available December 15th as part of their basic package. Early Christmas present. Can’t wait.
More and more there are two sets of laws. One for the peasants (that would be us), and one for The Connected/Protected. If The Phantom complained to the CRTC whatever about SUN news, probably not even going to get an automated acknowledgement email.
Slaphead Erickson is Connected (Hogtown NDPee) and Protected (flamer), so his one complaint carries the weight of federal law, pretty near. He might be able to get a Royal Inquiry out of one letter.
Nice to see SUN tell him to shove it on national TV.
As to the McGuinty sex-ed BS, just inform the school your child will not be there for those classes. Dentist appointments. Allergy shots. Whatever. You don’t have to do what they tell you, so don’t.
It was blog sites like this one of Kate’s that led to stations like SunMedia. A ripple that will eventually become a tidal wave to wash these tyrants away. We hope and pray!
We must control your children, we enlightened NDPEE Lieberal types,we are of a higher intelligence than you rubes, for it is us who get caught with sticky dicks in whorehouses getting” ONLY A MASSAGE OFFICER”, and telling twitter twits to Eff off, and it is only us, with our superior knowledge who could spend 2.5 billion dollars on a useless duck gun registry only to see it get flushed with a “connnnserrrvative govt. and it is our higher loftier brain power that makes our type STEAL rings from jewelry stores for our gender neutral/transgenerdered 1st gear partner, the store was owned by the “MAN” anyway. Us, supreme lefties are but a gift to you hard working taxpaying honest family loving community helping shleps out there, we are a gift that keeps on giving, like like herpes, or that nasty cold sore, yes that is what we are, we will reprogram your children, the same way a Hutterite colony/cult does with its young, you know whip them into shape to be a good little leftie so someday they to can “occupy” and join an environMENTAL movement and produce nothing but criticism all day long, after prayer worship of Peeair and Jack though.
The ad is great, very well put together, with a very good soundtrack timing. whoever or whatever company put that together will be a good one to buy stocks in.
Jema 54 and Justtinkin, cheers to you.
National Post folded like toilet paper.
I fear if the ndp every got into power this country would be in huge trouble.
Well don’t get knots in your toga about this ????
Just put a complaint into the local constabulary that he sent you kiddy-porn and they will get a warrent and bust him for the kiddy-porn on his computer…..
Now that was simple wasn’t it.
The educational systems of this country have bent over forwards to, first of all, accommodate and now to actively promote the LGBT(x3)TSI, that is, L(esbian)G(ay)B(isexual)T(x3:Trans,Transsexual,Transgendered)TS(two-spirited)I(Intersex) sexual deviations. And no deviation from this script is allowed. Talk about diversity and inclusivity, eh?
There happen to be a few conservative, observant Christians still teaching in our public schools. Their sensitivities, their beliefs and values are blatantly assaulted by our ministries and boards of education all the time. The bloated, activist, educational bureaucracies have created gulags (even in Catholic boards), governed by written “Equity Policies”, which, like the Human Rights (sic) Commissions, are only used to protect the “rights” (how about license?) of their favoured groups: LGBT(x3)TSI, aboriginals, visible minorities (some are more visible than others), feminists, Greenies, Muslims, etc. On the other hand, these same policies are used to bully and beat into submission any teacher/group who dares to question this progressive, repressive, and utterly HYPOCRITICAL orthodoxy. (No wonder the boards’ anti-bullying programs have been utter failures: the biggest bullies around are the powers that be, who rule their charges with a politically correct, iron fist, from top to bottom.)
I’d also say that a critical mass of non-Christian teachers, who’d happily watch CBC and read the Toronto Star, are also disturbed by the sexual politics being shoved down teachers’ throats. I actually know of a school where the principal was once again highlighting the board’s “Equity” policy, as it related to the LGBT(x3)TSI community. A Christian teacher spoke up and mentioned that, in reality, the equity policy favoured certain groups and left others—like his—out. Apparently, there was dead silence, and then, without a word, the principal quickly moved on. But afterwards, many of his colleagues spoke to the Christian teacher, sotto voce, thanking him for saying the unmentionable. They said they bitterly resented the board’s utter unfairness and hypocrisy, and felt quite oppressed and offended. Teachers feel altogether bullied and threatened by their boards’ activist, progressive, repressive, hypocritical agendas. Public school boards actually have re-education officers and “sentence” teachers who step out of line—second hand, hearsay evidence is more than welcome—to re-education sessions. In one jurisdiction I know of, the re-education “goon” was a homosexual administrator. “Nice work if you can get it”, eh? Couldn’t the unions help? Well, no: they’re cut from the same activist cloth and are no use whatever. In fact, they’d doubly condemn the teacher. With such heavy, loaded guns aimed at their heads, no wonder teachers endeavour to keep them well below the ramparts!
One can only imagine what would happen if an observant Christian ran for the Conservative Party and aggressively spoke out against society’s embrace of the LGBT(x3)TSI’s sexual agenda—for everyone. (Isn’t that a lack of diversity?) That teacher’s career would meet a sudden end. Of course, the Michael Ericksons of this world are given a free pass. One notices how like the OWS idiots Mr. Erickson is: he possesses a man’s body with the arrogance and lack of self-control of a toddler. But, hey, that’s what he’s been taught and allowed to get away with. I think ordinary people are really tired of this: “We’re mad as hell and aren’t going to put up with it anymore!” Let’s hope so. Thank God for SUN News. Finally, those of us who are thoroughly tired of the bullying of the activist, LGBT(x3)TSI community and their nasty, PC enablers have a powerful voice of dissent.
Thanks, Brian, Ezra, and all the others at SUN News, who are speaking out for the repressed and bullied majority.

The dipper I mean, Lilleys awesome, love lilley
My comment got caught in the filter, I was noting the discrepancy between CTV news calling the details of the Penn State gay rapist story ‘unspeakable’ and the Ontario government teaching the details to children pretty much the same age as the gay rape victims, anyway y’all catch my drift.
I wonder when the moonbats will get it. The Sun News network does not mess around. If you attack them they will air it all for everyone to see it. They’re not some pussy company like CTV. So go ahead guys keep trying to shake them down because it’s working out so well for you.
Why do we pay gays to teach our kids kiddy porn?
I think we should invite this freakin idiot to the Ft. McMurray oilworkers annual Christmas party to have him give a speech extolling the virtues of having their children taught by one as enlightened as he. His butt loving will take on a whole new meaning when he has to take his shirt off to s–t.
The worst fear of conservatives is that they will lose their freedom.
The worst fear of liberals is that someone will disagree with them.
Isn’t about democracy is about minorities trying to rule. Like the OWS crowd they want and for a long time the government gave to these small groups, indorsing them and supporting them.
Is Canada going to go like some European countries where students have to wear political pins supporting the teacher’s ideology to get good marks?
a different bob at November 26, 2011 8:31 AM
I called Bell about the Dec. 15th date and was told it will be available as of Nov. 28th where I live…Christmas is early for sure!
School children are a gift produced from a heterosexual union.
Parents should fight hard to ensure a reflection of that reality in the school system.
Best option is home schooling until these vile activists posing as teachers are taken away from the opportunity to poison young minds.
I noted that Michael Erickson’s neck is wider that his head. What could have stretched it out so much, or is he just a micro-cephalic tiny-brained progressive. Just asking.
The gender twisted folk of our nation have already gotten the various mindless and vote hungry politicians to sanction what they do with the various orifices of bodies, but they will never get a sanction from me. I recognized perversion when see it … and it is very bad for the children.
I read a statistic the average same sex marriage last about five years. Gay people are promiscuous by nature and their life styles are flamboyant, shallow and frivolous. Although, they do have a keen sense of color.
Hang in Sun TV …. you are therapeutic warriors in a very sick society.
If Michael Erickson had been living in 1930’s Germany, he would have fit in perfectly as a member of the Sturmabteiling (Brownshirts). Right mindset, right sexual preference.
For dkjones and anyone else interested, while I do not have Telus television, I received a call from them trying to get me to change over to them. When I asked if they carried SNN the fellow checked and said no at which point I stated I would not be interested. I then went to their website and sent an e-mail to their customer relations suggesting that if they want to attract more customers she have to carry SNN. I received a reply stating that they are in the process of negotiating the launch of SNN. You may want to follow up on this and ask when to expect it.
If they can normalize child sex then it’s a win for the anything goes if it feels good crowd, make no mistake behind the scenes the pedos are working to normalize child sex because they’re sexual beings after all.
Just think NDP/Liebrano then you will know the mind set of the people that voted for them; and the members that have been elected…..slugs,bugs..fluffoo’s….red star.//
Hang in there, Sun!! We are in a cultural war, and too many people just don’t get that. I have many friends and relatives who now accept and even defend illogical viewpoints that 15 years ago they would have abhorred, simply because they had mantras repeated to them often enough. Anyone who chooses to think (even for a moment) about what Erikson says will see that his repetition of the word “diversity” is the ultimate hypocrisy. Diversity unless you divert from what I say.

Now that was not only smart but wise. Its the only way we can win this. Individual initiative. The Government can follow OUR lead. Lets stop looking to them.
