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."

Looks like WAPO has failed again. How can they be so stupid? How can people continue to even read the rag?
You just can’t fix stupid.
OWG
WAPO didn’t fail. WAPO is full of Winston Smiths.
They know that many people yearn to be lied to, they hunger for it. So they feed it.
Like the supermarket tabloids, they get published because people willingly buy them.
Not this woman; I only read them while standing in line.
I did buy The Globe once. Their headline and lead story was about a wolfpack of Iraqi submarines in Lake Michigan. I just had to find out more!
It’s like they want to fail.
They know that most people will only read a headline and then repeat it. Never mind the details.
It used to be that math was difficult. Apparently we can now add English to that list.

Not ALL are run by Democrats; one is GOP. Welcome to the cowardly new world of DeMarxist semantic gumby gymnastics.
Keep the nation locked down and in riot posture as Democrats, who ruled as cities burned, claim they’re the only fix.
Vote for Trump and they’ll tear it all down and replace it with what they want, gangland and party values replacing liberty.
BLM fantasizes about that, DeMarxists have a plan to get there with the help of those and other useful idiots in tow.
There can be no debates of course and mail in voting is the only way to have a “fair election.”
To my American friends, if you allow these regressives to cow you behind a mask, your only option a mail in ballot and you wait out in government induced dependence, the amoral collectivist circle will finally close, where the left will control all levers of society; not only the Presidency, Congress, the Courts, the media and law enforcement/national security, but now elections, completed with a doddering old figurehead leader, or three, with younger racist zealots pulling the strings, set to seize power.
Von Hindenberg and Hitler anyone?
Even discounting partisanship and hyperbole, this assault on liberty is getting scary. World wars happen this way.
People aren’t reading it. Organised media is going the way of the dodo. With realtime video streaming, twitter, parler, gab, and blogging, what, exactly is there left for legacy media to do? What value do they add to the consumption and distribution of information?
Evidently, they decided that the way they add value is to “shape” the narrative, to be the “voice” of “reason” in the background, quarterbacking the reception of information into the channels they believe they are best suited to manage. To be honest, this doesn’t shock me: their primary directive has always been to SELL “news”. They figured that people would pay gobs of cash to follow their narratives, ever thankful to their journoschool gradualistic majesties for the provision of so much vital wisdom and clarity.
In other words, who you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?
So far, it isn’t immediately obvious that they have succeeded at much except generating near universal hatred and contempt. (Antifa are just as happy beating up the legacy media as beating up white people).
Eventually they will cave: once enough of them start getting murdered in new and exciting ways (Mexico-style) they will suddenly pivot, and start taking a very harsh law-and-order stance, and practically beg for more troop deployment to internal security (you will know it has begun once you can see a video of Don Lemon on bestgore, beaten bloody, and getting chopped up with a chainsaw by masked vigilantes, of unknown allegiance). I am reminded of the cult classic movie of my generation: Natural Born Killers. What happened to Wayne Gale in the end?
Media have always struggled to convince the rest of us that they were somehow vital to the functioning of society. Stalin and Hitler agreed, of course.
In the information age, though, the medium remains the message, and now we no longer need the messengers. So they continue to act as that annoying idiot at a party who is following you around, snooping on your conversations, and always interjecting with moralizing and sermonizing. Eventually you have to punch them out.
And this is going down on Snopes as another FALSE claim by PDJT. Fact-check.org is calling this claim by Trump as another one of his 54,827 LIES. Anyone who can remain a Blue after this kind of DAILY cognitive dissonance … is beyond me.
Kenji -Snopes = the truth purveyors. Check out the Floyd lies. Apparently some one switched or posted a picture that was not the pregnant woman he assaulted at gunpoint. So the whole 5 convictions including the 5 years in prison for assaulting the woman at gunpoint are all a lie. You can’t make this BS up.
Dear Washington Post:
Please quit trying to help.

They missed the part about two Jacksonville Democrat City Council members being arrested and convicted of fraud et. al…and facing between 600 and 700 years in prison. Something like 30 charges on each…found guilty on each one. Reggie Brown and Katrina Brown aren’t related.
WaPo knows its readers all too well. They’re headline readers and headline readers only lacking the patience and accuity for an analysis on any subject.
Mission accomplished as far as WaPo is concerned. If this is brought to their attention they’ll simply retort with “Where’s the lie?” And technically they’d be right…“all” being the key word in this case. And they’ll chalk up another one in their “Trump lie” column.
Reminds me of a reality denying Roman Emperor.
Messenger: “Emperor!!! All the Visigoths are at the gates and will sack and pillage Rome!!!
Emperor: “Not all Visigoths”
Notice that none of the Democrat Media which is picking up this issue is giving a direct quote from President Trump or telling us where they are getting this Trump claim. They are all paraphrasing and giving their take on it.
Here, for your edification, is where they are getting this President Trump ‘quote’ from:
President Trump Town Hall hosted by Sean Hannity | FULL -Premiered Jun 25, 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0YKf-caVuY&t=172s
The Discussion of the Dangerous Democrat Cities begins at 9:06 in the interview.
Judge for yourself.
If they DID claim to be directly quoting Trump, I wouldn’t trust them to quote him accurately OR in context – let alone both.
Who cares what WaPo says? The readers do. They keep it going and wouldn’t think of listening to or reading an opinion that doesn’t fit the narrative.
Conservative supporters are the same. They only listen/read opinions that fits their narrative. Neither side is interested in listening to the other.
Politics is stupid theatre that supports the narrative. A good idea can’t be tolerated unless it comes from your group. It will only change when the proles say no mas – then the politics will change.
That is false. Conservative supporters are swamped every minute of the day with the left wing narrative through the so-called “mainstream media”. It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get away from the constant propaganda. Conservatives have to LOOK for the other side of the debate. Leftists don’t bother. And this particular example from the Washington Compost is proof of that.

What’s false?
I have no trouble at all avoiding the ‘constant propaganda’ of the left. I wouldn’t dream of tuning into the cbc g&m etc. Why would you?
My point was either side listens to the other.
Both sides lie.
neither side
Springfield Missouri is a victim of Democrat run St. Louis (which you can see is very high on the list). If you study the crime statistics, Springfield increased in violent crimes over 40% in the last five years. The primary reason is that the gang activity in St. Louis is expanding to the surrounding metropolis. At the same time this occurred…homicides were at a five year low. That, also, supports gang activity. Biggest increase came in property and aggravated assault (the prime focus of gangs).
The take away is that republican run cities suffer the consequences of the inept democrat run cities that offer a base and an opportunity to expand.
10 out of 10 at the top of the list are. Only by moving the goalposts do they get their desired headline.
Par for the course with modern urinalism.
“Urinalism
Har!
(I don’t get out much any more.)
Almost every day in the Toronto Sun page 4-6 cover the shootings, murders and mayhem and it always predominately blacks, today’s is all blacks. Car jackings in Caledon, stabbings in my old apartment complex in the 60-70’s at St. James Town, party central then, a shooting gallery now. Tory has allowed turning the city hall square into a tent city.
Top violent crime per 10,000 residents?
#1. Memphis – 29.08% white
#2. St.Louis – 46.25% white
#3. Detroit – 10.8% white
#4. Baltimore – 30.45% white
#5. Springfield – 4.51% white
#6. Little Rock – 48.9% white
#7. Stockton – 19.3% white
#8. Cleveland – 37.3% white
#9. San Bernardino – 15% white
#10. Oakland – 36.14% white
*Most violent crime per 10,000 residents*
Memphis: 62.6% black
St Louis: 49.2% black
Detroit: 82.7% black
Baltimore: 63.7% black
Dems R real racists!!11
Let’s be fair like them – they’re just systemic racists – aka racists don’t know it.
Actually they know it, and fashion their careers around it.
How do you look at crime stats and not be racist? You must be a master of doublethink.
Reading the comments is hysterical. Aside from some folks like who popped over to make sure this was a real article, there are quite a few individuals who are seriously ill with Trump Derangement Syndrome who have nothing to say but need to do some frothing at the mouth and drooling while pulling their hair out and running in circles. Apparently the mention of Trump triggered their fits. And I thought it was bad with Bush.
Presto! By using the word “all” instead of “most” , PDJT trolled the idiots into defending their position with actual data that is very unflattering to their case.
Very stable genius.
Shrug. Truth won’t make a bit of difference to the fifty percent that wants its arse wiped.
Want to drive a Trump hating DeMarxist crazy. Point out the “unpopular” Trump has about the same ratings Obama did at the same stage of his presidency. Note that Trump had “no path to victory.” Then compare the results.
2012 – Unpopular Obama won 322 EC seats and re-election
2016 – Hated Trump who had no chance to win took 304 and election.
This is before Basement Joe is rooted out of the basement, if and when, finally, Dems like Comey, Brennan and others face charges, before the American people tire and revolt against lockdowns designed to keep them dependent with a mail in election confirming permanent collectivist hegemony from the DeMarxists and Demfascists. Say it ain’t so Basement Joe.
Listing the percentage of blacks would be a real indication of why they are so violent. The democratic leadership is just a reflection of the black citizenry.
