  1. For naval history fans:
    The Battle of Jutland – Clash of the Titans – Part 1
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkR2HpkrJ2c
    Best detailed online account I have seen of that battle.
    Two more parts should linked from the first part. Total almost three hours. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage and enjoy.

  2. To: Blogger who calls goes by the name IDNF,

    You’re a fine one to take umbrage with the blog owner, and then you yourself, turn around and call people here names and write about people being “lunkheads,” “dumb,” “dingbats” and part of the “idiot masses.”
    Here is the link:

    We take umbrage at your comments here, for the record.

  3. I must confess, I haven’t been following the candidates for the Conservative party leadership. I was never a fan of Scheer incompetence.
    This summary for the uninitiated from the MSM seems like a good starting point.

    “Meet the four people vying for the Conservative leadership as the race draws to a close”
    https://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/meet-the-four-people-vying-for-the-conservative-leadership-as-the-race-draws-to-a-close/wcm/0d07b05b-2d5b-44e7-8884-05aeb8754521
    Based solely on this summary one might conclude:
    – Derek Sloan will be hated by the MSM since he’s a Christian and he owned his own business.
    – Erin had a real job and wants to defund the CBC. That’s a good start.
    – They might be smart to choose Leslyn Lewis since the left can’t call her a white supremacist racist. She could tell Trudeau she’s offended by his multiple uses of black face as a party costume.
    – Peter who?

    1. Certainly Lewis’ skin colour and sex scare the shit out of Liberals and NDP as you noted.
      She unravels much of their narrative by vying for the leadership.
      If she were to win the Libby-Dippers would be more upset than any white supremacists.
      Telford and the PMO are already digging for any type of dirt they can.
      But if she were to win I would have some doubts to its legitimacy for lack of a better term.
      Was it so because Cons believe her to be leader material or because they think she can get them power? Is there a difference?
      Or is it the passionate loathing of Juthtin, Weirdo II that will Shut him TFU and every one of the lefty self-righteous mofo’s?
      I would like to see it happen just to see her dismantle my MP, McKenna.
      Butts would go into hiding.
      Juthtin would eventually just slink off into wherever bad jokes go to hide.
      (I’ll never vote federally again as I have concluded that its an illegitimate and unnecessary level of government.)

      1. You’re another gal like IDNF who can’t blog without foul language.
        Everything is F this and F that. Smarten up. It’s disgusting. You’re not funny.

        If you don’t vote you get the govt you deserve, little filthy mouth girl.

        1. Anonymous…

          – You’re right. So what?

          That’s the funny thing about freedom of speech – it’s there to protect speech YOU DISAGREE WITH – because logically, you’re perfectly happy to hear all the speech you agree with. Right?

          You could always start your own blog…

          1. She constantly breaks with this website’s rules.
            She’s no buddy, she should start her own website and you could join her there too.

        2. Anonymous, reading Buddy’s post, I really do not see any F-bombs. But I agree with your point about posting in accordance with the rules. This also entails no double links, no Jew hatred, no advocacy of anarchist violence, etv. I say this as a conservative Christian.

          Btw, three days go I mailed in my leadership ballot. Here I’d how I voted (in order of most preferred to least preferred):
          1. Lewis
          2. O’toole
          3. Sloan
          4. McKay

          I will be voting PPC and donating money to the Wexit party in the next election.

          1. David – why did you even vote for McKay? You could have left him off the list altogether and just voted for three candidates.

          2. TFU & mofo?
            What do you call that David?
            ITS ALL the time with her!

            She was pleased imagine that, showing her true colors, she is a sociopath. Sick of it! Why do you gents even bother with her?

        3. Anon

          ‘If you don’t vote you get the government you deserve’?

          In a democracy you have the right to vote or not to vote.

          Do all voters get the government they deserve?

      2. Buddy – Oh, that McKenna, aka Climate Barbie. Yes, please vote federally. It may be illegitimate in many respects but they are the ones that make the legislation that hurts all Canadians, like Bill C-69 and Bill C-48. Without a Federal level of government we would be at the mercy of BC to get our oil to a non-US market. We also need a federal government to speak for all Canadians, even if it’s the wrong message sometimes. The world might listen to the rep for 37.6M Canadians but could care less about a subset of 4M or even 13.6M.

  4. Three Gorges Dam update.

    The upstream pool level continues to drop, and is below 154 meters. (Normal/ desired water level this time of year is 145 meters, and the max water level is 175 meters.). They are releasing more water from the dam yesterday, and the downstream river level at Yicheng is up at slightly over 70 meters. There is also a slightly increased inflow to the dam. It isn’t going to overflow soon, and it isn’t likely to suddenly wash away after being full of water for over eight years now.

  5. Some Kamala

    “Cyclomania a Finnish movie about bicycles. Do you know what else is Finnish? Kamala means ‘horrible’ in Finnish. Horrible Harris, it has a nice ring to it.”

    “Alternative translations of “kamala” are: terrible abysmal dreaded evil ghastly horrendous horrid.

    All of which are appropriate in her case.”

  6. Our Great Leader continues his vacation today. Just thought everyone would want to know, especially the ladies.

    1. OJ, are we all not on vacation courtesy of the government? Well, at least one half the Canadian workforce that produces and pays taxes are off. The non-taxpaying bureaucrats are still doing what they always do screw us over.

    2. Vacation..?

      Or HOUSE ARREST..?? I’m betting on the latter – he was NEVER in control – simply a supposed nice face with an Empty Mind. The Laurentien Elites as we like to call em are in Control as they have been for DECADES – In Reality they are Staunch UN Globalists in the guise of “harmless and nice” Canadians. Great Friends of the Rockefellers and all steeped in the legend of Maurice Strong.

      There is no hope or the West as the fix is in and has been for over a century and a half…it will never change. ERGO WEXIT is the only option.

      And as for you, Anonymous..?? GFY karen

      1. You too are verbally abusive. It’s not funny anymore. Hope your abusive comments get deleted.

        1. OK ….KAREN…..

          I think we are all aware of the limits Kate would & does allow here.
          There are times when adjectives are required. I have on occasion used such and ya know what…?? I will continue to do so when I feel it’s appropriate.

          Stick that in your maritini sonny.

    1. I am officially “done” with COVID-19 and all the stupid people. On Monday, msn.ca reported that Canada has had 120,000 cases of the flu and that 9,000 people have died. Canada has a population of 37 million people. 120,000 cases equals 0.3243 % – less than half of one percent. 9,000 deaths equals 0.0243%. For these miniscule percentages, Canada and most of the Western world (Sweden being the exception) shuttered its economy for 2 months, destroyed many businesses and wants to delay a return to school.
      I have read elsewhere that Sweden has reached herd immunity at 30% and that their positive cases are going down. Yes, it is sad for the families of those who died, but most of the deaths occurred in assisted living homes or to those with compromised immune systems. By rights, I should have contracted this as I am 68 and have the world’s worst lungs and bronchial tubes. I have not been sick since April 2019.

      1. Big Momma, I have been saying that since I was forced back from Florida in march. This is the biggest fraud ever committed on planet earth. I am fair bit older than you and am considered in maximum risk age and I sure a hell am not afraid. The regular flu or a bad cold could finish me, but, I want to live what is left of my life not having to put up with assholes and morons who will believe anything that a lying government tells them. Imagine social distancing on a golf course in hot sunny weather. The world stupid cannot be over emphasized.

      2. Big M

        Yep. I’ve not had a bad session of flu since 2005 – 4 bedridden days and 2.5 100″ birch trees in tissue. I’m also 68 – just had 5 Bypass surgery in Feb and am with you 100% on this.

        As a kid, we all ate dirt, played with Frogs and swam in murky waters etc etc. This so called pandemic is more a result of helicopter moms preventing poor johnny from getting his hands dirty along with the incessant propaganda over 60 yrs with demands of media and society to Sterilise every damned thing we come in contact with. Doing everything 180 degrees opposite from what created our immune systems in the first place.

        This is about Control….and given we have very very few common sense politicians (non in Canada thats for goddamned sure), all of whom mandate masks and the push this UTTER BS of “Social Distancing”, it’s no wonder this bug is still infecting people.

        Total Socialist MADNESS

        We all should be looking at SWEDEN & taking our Vitamin D – Vitamin C w/zinc daily 0- the rest is totalitarian BS.

        1. The real disease is the concepts of individual freedom and responsibility. The cure will be deemed to have arrived once the proles obey like mindless automatons.

          Edmonton’s nearly there.

    2. Hat tip to Joe,readers tips 13th August 7.20am.
      The Spectator; A Swedish Doctor on Covid.
      Well worth the read.
      Their Covid Pandemic is done ,3months 6000 dead of a population of 10 million people.
      Now if this holds true,we will be treated to some world class CYA propaganda,as we drag on till Christmas,still locked down and still subject to “Emergency Powers”.
      I am waiting for the numbers from Brazil to stabilize,not the cases of covid but the actual number of dead,as Brazil is as close to zero government intervention that I can imagine and still expect semi-accurate numbers.

      Speculating on the Swedish numbers,we can expect about 24 000-30 000 dead as the virus works its way through the old and infirm?
      So we are not even 1/3 of the way there after 5 months.
      Anyone know what the average annual death rate is for Canada?

      I have been seeing govt of Canada adds,that basically say “We over reacted,but we are not responsible for our contradictory bulletins ..So Obey.”
      “We follow the science…so wear your handkerchief over your nose in public”.

      Funny how “experts” are never wrong,even when they get nothing right.

  7. And now your whiny indian story for today. Blacklock reports that Blackie’s space agency is spending four hundred and fifty thousand dollars to show eskimos how to grow carrots in the Arctic.

    1. Why would they grow anything and where would they grow them. Besides all the food in the north for 1st Immigrants is subsidized by tax payers in the south. Mostly Alberta

    2. OJ, I am guessing one hell of a lot of fossil fuels will be needed to heat the special greenhouses required to grow something, anything.

    3. This doesn’t surprise me. I knew or had met many of the people who joined the CSA shortly after it was established. Most of them were nutters or flakes.

  8. Tunderin’ Lard Jaysus, I give up!
    Picked up a couple of small bottles of hand sanitizer, 75% alcohol at my local drug store and in finest of print I note it’s made in a place called Gaochun, Nantung, PRC!! Needless to say they have been tossed.

    What are we going to do in this //%#&@#/?#$! country to protect ourselves when we are importing products , foodstuff and drugs and all manner of products when we know the road to China is paved with greed?

    1. Liz, that is what happens when “free trade” allows the outsourcing of necessary products to other countries. Trump has been trying to reverse that in the US but is fighting an uphill battle. Canada is screwed as the PM would like to be just like Xi in China. By the way, the boxes that masks come in say just what they are not to be used for, hint, they will not stop a virus, any virus. They also come from China. Good grief we are a nation of fools.

    2. Liz – out here we’re getting hand sanitizers in beer cans and they are locally produced!! The other issue with sanitizers is that they have to be made with ethyl alcohol, not methyl alcohol as that can cause problems (and not just from drinking same).

  9. Wonder if they still have gunboats at Georgian Bay where our first family are on vacation?
    Blackie should reimburse us for the cost of it all when they already have luxurious digs at Harrington Lake, security detail and all.

  10. I am predicting a lopsided Biden-Harris victory this fall, along with the corrupt Democrats sweeping both houses. The corrupt ruling establishment will work extra hard this time, with all of their vast power, to ensure a Democratic party victory. There are some Americans upset with the awful corruption (e.g., the establishment support for the anarchist, racist BLM movement), to vote for Trump in protest. Some, albeit not many, Americans are worried about unsafe streets, but not enough to bring a needed Trump victory.

    One blogger puts the situation best, who left the establishment Democrats to support Trump. She is voting Trump in opposition to the encroaching totalitarianism:
    https://medium.com/unsafe-space/a-liberal-for-trump-484abb7dc8aa

    For Trump to win, there would have to be a MASSIVE rejection of the corrupt media, the corrupt establishment. The establishment has all the power.

    1. For a Trump win all ballots would have to be verified by ID, finger prints, biometric scans and damn near everything else that could eliminate a fraudulent vote. The push for vote by mail is extremely dangerous now and an unverified vote should be a nullified vote.

      1. Agreed. But everybody iin power will be working against Trump. Even if fraudulent vote-by-mail is stopped, which I doubt, the regular voting process will be corrupted in the big cities. There there will be huge ballot stuffing, and physical attacks against Trump workers.

        A case in point about corruption. One or two weeks ago, the corrupt Twitter corporation deleted a Trump tweet, and the media cartel went joyous with that happy news. But it turns out that the crook in charge of monitoring tweets at Twitter held a senior position in the Kamala Harris campaign. And yesterday Harris stated she wants Twitter to boot Trump off the site. Virtually all the social media oligarchs will be working to oppose the Trump campaign. And all the traditional media corporations will be doing the same.

  11. Reply to RD: Flooding and Crop Shortages. I must admit I know NOTHING about growing rice but I remember the historic flood of Manitoba in 1997. Every reporter claimed Manitoba would have the poorest harvest in years, possible food shortages. When the flood waters receded farmers got busy and planted their crops. There were record crops harvested. As an old farmer said “Water grows crops and lots of water grows lots of crops.”

    1. Bill,

      It definitely is easier to grow crops without a drought. Except it is Mid-August and China is in the Northern Hemisphere. A lot of China is as far North as Canada. Southern China may have another growing season?

      We will see what happens in the next few months. If the 3G Dam collapses against all my expectations, lots could happen.

      My Minnesota is having a bumper crop year according to the experts. Timely rains, and not too much. I saw lots of Fallowed Fields last year that are full of corn and beans this year.

      The derecho earlier this week in Iowa really wiped out a lot of their corn this year.

  12. True North reports that the Disease Control Centre in La La Land British Columbia, has issued a China virus language guide. The guide orders people not to use the terms man, woman, his, hers, etc. as they are not gender inclusive.

    1. Oh, good grief! Maybe Mel Brooks was looking ahead when he included the campfire scene, perhaps as a rebuttal (no pun intended) to the disclaimer.

  13. Post Millennial website reports that Blackie gave twenty million dollars to a company that his Heritage Minister from Quebec used to work for and still advises. And now your Canadians are racist bastards story for today. City TV in diverse Toronto reports that Canadian theatre is full of racist bastards. There are to many white actors and they persecute black and whiny indian actors. And the Stratford Festival celebrates white supremacy.

    1. And the Stratford Festival celebrates white supremacy.

      Yup. Even the Bard promoted blackface with Othello.
