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."

Thank you, sir, for pointing this out.
Remember when setting up a snitch line was just uncanadian?
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/conservatives-vow-to-establish-barbaric-cultural-practices-tip-line/article26640072/
Tipline, I saw a guy pretending to be a PM leave Canada’s borders WIDE OPEN to allow COVID-19 to spread throughout the country. He told Canadians they didn’t need N95 masks, and shipped tons of strategic medical supplies to China well into the pandemic!
Hurry and arrest him before he crawls back into another hidy hole!
I saw him too.
Last sighting was of him trespassing on the Governor Generals estate.
Did he see his shadow? Will there be six more weeks of this godforsaken winter in Alberta?
I must correct myself, He has not forsaken us. This is the weekend He is risen.
I see families out together all over my area.
Good one. Were that me and my family, upon my court date I would be carrying two large placards. 1 ea with one of those images and literally shove that in the JUDGES FACE. Along with a copy of the Canadian Constitution that Gaurantees ones Mobility.
What a disgusting CROC of BS.

Like !
My Canada does NOT include Quebec.
Currently my feelings are that my Canada doesnt include Saskatchewan nor Alberta either.
But it’s tempting to consider the change in the balance of power. And that’s when you realize this is likely a ruse. #Wexit
Agreed. Like!
This blog needs a like button. Then you could add an UnLike button for a certain commenter who draws much fire.
I agree completely!! I’ve been advocating this for years on SDA … under another name … there are so many comments that say what I’d say and have same political views.
I do not know hard it is to do this (Like Button), yet it would let posters know if people like or disagree with statements.
If you see something you like just reply with I agree.
Ha, I agree.
The last friggin’ thing this site needs, IMO, is a system where posters lose focus on making a quality point to start focusing on getting as many likes as possible. And do you really want to encourage our neighborhood trolls to spew even more ignorant lies in a never-ending game to beat their last down-vote record?
No thanks.
Alec…Now that’s something I TOTALLY Agree with….
a Like AND unlike buttons.
Unlike. Good reasons stated above by CO.
It’s like the rural “here’s your speed” indicator that became a high-score board. The result was the opposite of the intent.
I am fine with Miss Kate having the button. Even when she uses the DELETE button on a reprobate and rough cob like me. Lord I know sometimes I am over the line but just bull in and take my lumps Bless Her Heart.
Read the follow up comments. Twitter is not so thorough about cleaning up the display of Canadian political posts.
I think I might have found one or two people who thought this was a bad thing, but I scrolled down quite a long way.
Quite a few comments asking if they needed any asphalt donations to complete paving the way. Seemed to be an even mix on people thinking Quebec should take their share of the debt (based on population, not how much was spent on them), and those who thought it was sufficient that they leave.
Some suggested that every Canadian should be allowed a vote in the referendum so we can make sure they leave this time.
And someone posted a 2 question poll:
If you had to sacrifice a province to Covid19, which one would it be?
And why Quebec?
Globe and Mail has published some COVID statistics here.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-coronavirus-cases-canada-world-map-explainer/
It shows info on Canadian provinces along with country stats. Expand the country list. Don’t the German stats look odd? High number of cases, low number of deaths, high number of recovered cases, when compared to other countries in Europe.
More testing detects more cases. If you only test people who die you get stats that show everyone who had it dies.
Germany:
– 127,000 cases
– 3011 deaths
– 60,300 recovered to date
France:
– 133,000 cases
– 14,400 deaths
– 27,500 recovered to date
Similar number of cases vastly different numbers of deaths.
Something different with how deaths are attributed?
Italy, Spain, and UK have roughly similar number of cases, but much higher deaths than Germany.
I am assuming cases equals number of people who have been recorded with COVID, not the number of people tested.
Note UK had done 350,000 tests with 85,000 cases so I think my assumption is ok.
As of this am, total deaths world wide 114,215. That would be 39,209 short of the annual daily death toll world wide from all causes. Of course the numbers reported are likely distorted because of the requirement that any death should be considered virus related. Again, the recovery rate is 98% plus and the CDC say 90% of those admitted to hospital have underlying medical problems. This is of course from the US.
Also fire can’t melt steel.
Germany: 1,552 cases per 1M of population – everyone receives optimal level of care
France: 2,095 cases per 1M of population – not everyone receives the optimal level of care.
Italy: 2,638 cases per 1M of population
Spain: 3,638 cases per 1M of population
Assuming similar testing regimes this explains the disparity with death rates. The death rates spike up when hospitals are overwhelmed. That is coincidentally why Canadian death rate continues very low. The one exception from the rule appears to be UK 1,305 cases per 1M population yet a death rate on par with Spain, Italy and France.
There is an interesting item at citizenfreepress today about treating cases with oxygen, without ventilators. Treating for hypoxia.
Yea….That was discussed a few days ago by a podcast Kate had posted from cpl Dr.s from Oregon state. They were saying that the disease presents itself not so much as pneumonia, but more like HYPOXIA. And that patients were actually being suffocated via abnormally low Blood Oxygen levels.
Their supposition being that Covid attacks the hemoglobins O2 – CO2 exchange mechanism while at the same time releasing free FE (iron), into the Bloodstream where it becomes a toxic substance.
Nicely engineered Ms SHI ZHENGLI…You ChiComm POS.
If any have not watched the Epoch TImes Expose on this Virus’ origin…
I would Highly suggest you do so.

Jay Leno’s Garage 1958 Continental-entertaining factual look at a classic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh1ZU_lUPWM
Leno mentioned the Buick Limited as having chrome on it.
It had tons of it.
One of my buddies Dad bought a brand new 1958 Buick Limited 2 dr ht with the useless air bag suspension on it and we used to get it to go the drive-in movies.
Man that was a luxurious car with a really rich impressive upholstery cloth on the seats.
It made our brand new 1958 Mercury 4dr sedan look so cheap. But not so cheap that I would turn it down to go the drive-in with it. heh
https://jalopnik.com/i-bet-youd-like-to-know-what-those-holes-in-the-sides-o-1818673895
For the 1958 models Buick didn’t have the ventiports.
One more non-tip comment. I have never seen so much Easter coverage, ever. Of course, I may be watching the COVID, I mean NEWS a bit more than usual.
The coverage seems to have a tone; “OMG Christians might Christian and if you don’t stay home, we’ll all die.”
I believe the acceptable term now is Easter Worshippers.
Not for me though, I have developed a distate for the east. I am now celebrating Wester. Eating chocolate bunnies, and Ottawa can go suck eggs.
I think everyone should dress up as Indians, then politicians will issue statements again that they can’t tell police chiefs what to do.

CBC journalist and Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton accurately reports Justin Trudeau is like Winston Churchill.
Well, the Russian bots went crazy and attacked her for being “partisan”!
Then they attacked her for cutting away from Pierre Poilievre just as he was about to ask the Liberal Party why they did nothing about the TrumpVirus back in early January when our military reported this to the feds, but this was a fair decision on her part, as that is a conspiracy theory by our warmongering military. The military leaders want to go and kill yellow people in China!
The Russian bots attacked Rosie so much that she is taking 24 hours off to get away from the H8
https://twitter.com/RosieBarton/status/1249101060108513281
Come back soon, Rosie! Canada needs your hard hitting investigative journalism!
Pat, thanks for the post. Very illuminating tweets by Rosemary Barton. I hope her tweets expose her for what she is, a Libersl apologist.
Using Trudeau and Churchill in the same sentence is blasphemy. That little turd Trudeau would be incapable of cleaning the great man’s toilets.
Anyone that tries to equate the two skipped history class, particularly anything after 1776.
Well, I did see the letters CBC and journalist there somewhere, that probably explains the lack of historical knowledge.
Some people say that Justin is dumb
Looks like his Daddy brains like his Mum
Looks no brains, hair and teeth
Personality that’s shallow, resume that’s weak
[Chorus]
He donates sixteen tons and what do we get?
Another day sicker and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call us, ’cause we can’t go
Dr Tams told us we gotta stay indoors
[Verse 2]
Born with his head where the sun won’t shine
He’ll keep what’s his and take all that’s thine
He gave sixteen tons of N95 masks
And if you don’t like it you can kiss his ass
[Chorus]
He donates sixteen tons, and what do we get?
Another day sicker and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call us, ’cause we can’t go
Dr Tams told us we gotta stay indoors
[Verse 3]
Reelected last November what a cryin’ shame
Self-balancing budgets are his claim to fame
Married to Sophie one tone deaf girl
On their trip to India he really played the fool
[Chorus]
He donates sixteen tons and what do we get?
Another day sicker and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call us, ’cause we can’t go
Dr Tams told us we gotta stay indoors
[Verse 4]
Last election could’ve picked another side
Some people didn’t, so some people will die
One hand for a mirror, and one for a phone
If his virtue don’t get us then his vanity will
[Chorus]
He donates sixteen tons and what do we get?
Another day sicker and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call us, ’cause we can’t go
Dr Tams told us we gotta stay indoors
Oh no, its an Ottawa company.

Rapid result testing may help to get us out of this fascist fiscal shit storm.
And now CNN this morning. Trump is killing millions of Americans because he didn’t act quickly enough!!!!! Trump is killing thousands of Americans with tornadoes!!!! China Joe Biden has issued a statement that he is willing to leave his nursing home bed and fight the smallpox virus with China. Meanwhile Blackie’s loyal media is ignoring the allegations that Trump didn’t act quickly enough, so as not to bring attention to when Great Leader acted. Blackie The Gay Pirate ignored his own rants and traveled to Harrington Lake with his family. He is special. But Rosemary Barton will be in tears today. Her idol won’t be giving his daily rant today. We will have to settle for Peking Tam ranting that the foreign devils in Canada must wash their filthy hands.
Blackie The Gay Pirate ignored his own rants and traveled to Harrington Lake with his family. He is special.
Oh, Dear Leader, please be brave during these dark times. You are our breath, our life. Without you we are lost, we are less than nothing.
(Yeah, right. How about you go away and don’t ever come back?)
Excellent points, thank you. Your sarcasm is enjoyed and appreciated.
So let me get this straight. While Alberta is stocking up on medical supplies, Blackie is sending the federal stockpile to China and his loyal drooling media is not upset. But then neither are Canadians. The stupid runs deep in this country.
Joan Bryden of Canadian Press wrote the following on Saturday.
“Trudeau, who has addressed the nation daily at briefings outside his home for 26 days, spoke instead Saturday in the Commons, where he delivered a Churchillian speech invoking the heroic battles fought by Canadian troops in the First and Second World Wars.”
https://globalnews.ca/news/6807384/coronavirus-jagmeet-singh-cerb/
This follows shortly after her outrageous puff piece on Patty Hajdu:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-patty-hajdu-brings-anthropology-public-health-experience-to/
Blackie’s loyal media reports that Indian tourism operators are demanding more federal money from Big Chief Gay Eagle With No Balls. Meanwhile Blackie’s CBC has a heartwarming interview with a muslim doctor with a bag over her head discuss how to handle being lonely. Islam can solve all our problems.
Biden wants to ban fracking.

Wouldn’t it be great if US oil production dropped back to 5.5 million barrels per day? Then the US could buy “cheap” foreign oil.
Also natural gas production would rapidly drop, and prices would rise.
Both of the above would make windmills and solar panels more expensive. Electricity prices would increase. And who supplies most of the rare earth minerals used in windmills? Who supplies most of the solar panels? China.
That’s a wildly mendacious characterization of Biden’s (not very good) fracking stance:
““Certain Democratic presidential candidates have promised to ‘ban fracking,’ and I’ve publicly criticized them for doing so,” Lamb wrote in a separate Wall Street Journal letter to the editor in February. “Vice President Biden has criticized them, too. He has explicitly promised not to ban fracking, and when confronted by an activist who was upset with his position, Mr. Biden told him plainly: ‘You ought to vote for someone else.’ ””
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/03/19/fact-checking-biden-fracking-fracas/
As a reminder, it is Trump that recently pushed OPEC to raise oil prices and threatened tariffs to do so. Not Biden.
“The facility is owned by Katasa Group, a Gatineau-based company owned by Samir Chowieri and his three daughters. The company runs seven elder-care facilities in the province.”

If you haven’t been following this, you might get a bit angry.
Perhaps I am missing something on the testing. Shouldn’t we primarily be testing people who are sick. Now I know you can transmit without symptoms, but to be thorough you would need to test people every day — or at least every two weeks. When was this type of testing done for previous illnesses? Most people testing positive are not dying. We are insane. Increasingly this looks a lot like trying to control the climate,
Well thank goodness, as “most” translates to over 50%.
There weren’t enough tests to test people every day, and they didn’t return results quickly enough.
Father with three sons ticketed for $880, in Oakville, Ont., for skate-boarding in an empty parking lot:

Doug Ford must step in. The excessive restrictions are destroying public trust in our institutions. It is not clear that this family did anything out of line. People have a right to ask why they are being ticketed.
David -But but but the government can’t tell the constabulary who to charge !

So Ford tells people in Ontario not to go to the cottage, and then Blackie goes to the cottage at Harrington Lake. I am entitled to my entitlements.

The situation in France is even worse than Italy or Spain,and Macron is SO inept, or is he, that he makes Trudeau look good. Macron,like Trudeau, shipped tons of medical supplies to China before Trudeau, maybe that’s where Justin got the idea.
Horrifying story of the massive fuckups in France, now under a total lockdown except in the infamous “NO-GO” zones where the death rate has soared to 63 % above average.
If NO-GO zones are turning into morgues would anyone care?
No because they’re a fiction.
Pierre Poilievre is speaking now…
Conservatives on COVID-19— response: proposing plan to fast track small business aid….is the headline… he is taking questions from the Press.
Hahahahaha– He has taken PMJT ‘s spot @ 11 am Eastern since the hardworking PM decided he needed a day off! Doing a bang-up job too, in both English and French. He is quite relaxed and can think on his feet. Peter Mackay and Andy Scheer combined can’t do the job that he’s doing right now. He is slaying it!
He just ended his news conference. It lasted ~ 45 minutes.
The 2 Canadian Networks went on to other topics. It seems the Conservative MP doesn’t deserve a wrap-up and further comment from the MSM.
The MSM are proving to be the scoundrels that they are. There’s a word for that …. but polite company etc.
I missed it. Any talk of small businesses opening up. Conservatives need to start pressing for less restrictive shut down. Do we need to ticket families skateboarding in an empty parking lot? And they need to put a plan on the table for opening up the country. That would win many supporters. It would also put pressure on Liberals.
The Conservatives are proposing a plan to fast-track small business aid.
So Very UnCanadian.

Anyone who doesn’t admire and respect the Israelis is sick in the head.
@ Don Morris So regarding that death rate, is it from Covid or from fighting? Also, it would be good to have actual numbers rather than percentages because percentages are often deceptive.
This ICU doctor says THEY ARE TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE!!! The symptoms he sees with patients dying on ventilators look exactly resemble HIGH ALTITUDE SICKNESS. So its’s NOT Covid 19. It is another virus according to him.

The Unifor media is happy that foreign temporary workers are arriving in Canada. Apparently we have no unemployed Canadians or students who need to work. Racist Conservatives are calling for all of them to be tested for the China virus.
“Apparently we have no unemployed Canadians or students who need to work.”
That’s irrelevant. You don’t have a right to a job, and the labor market is not homogenous.
