California Emperor Newsom has deemed Disneyland closed for the foreseeable future but we’re going to travel back in time to 1954 to view its first year of operation. (Link updated to a Vimeo version that will hopefully work in Canada!)

Your tips on the flu pandemic or the pandemic that is Leftism would be much appreciated!

    2. N/A in Alberta either Robert.
      Was at the Orlando Disney World three times. It’s a beautiful wonderland for young and old.

          1. HAHAHAHA. Showing (our) age. (-:

            I remember them well (E-tickets)
            Driving the cars and submarine rides.
            The funny part. Disney company is very lib.
            Go figure

          2. Thanks for that link Zon. I forgot about the detail of ‘paying’ with tickets and the “E” ticket exchange to gain entrance to an enchanting experience. I’ll call it the latter because everything the Magic Kingdom offers isn’t an actual ‘ride’, per se, as you well know. Ones first trip is amazing enough but I remember on my second and third trips taking the time to assess what was new to the Park and then taking the time to actually plan what to see. Of course that took a bit of walking about the whole place.

            I found that going after lunch until closing time was best so that one can enjoy the evening lights and fireworks from the lake at “Epcot” Centre. I felt that eating meals there took too much time when there was so much to see.

            I really enjoyed the adventure featuring the giant rolling ball from the Harrison Ford movie, ” Raiders of the Lost Ark” and the actual ride at “Magic Mountain.” The ride was so fast through the Mountain that while one started out sitting upright at the beginning of the ride, at the end of the ride one was truly slouching from the speed. What a ride! Hence the statement from the astronaut who said what your link informs, quote:

            “E” tickets soon entered the American lexicon as a term signifying the ultimate in thrills. Astronaut Sally Ride even described her first trip to space as “a real ‘E’ ticket ride!”

            She was right!

            Thanks for the memory Fellas– Zon and Robert.

  2. Red State has a nice summary of Senile Joe’s plans to make lives of Black Looter Mob and Antifa safer. Another page from the NAZI playbook.

  3. First, get a VPN peeps. Allows you to watch US only videos, online TV and radio that reads your IP. Plus, well, “they” don’t know where you are, and that might become very important in the future if not now, especially if you are a big social media presence.

    On another note, been avoiding the Marxist propaganda (Can “news”) for days, until tonight.

    The media is evil. No other way to put it. Lies. Fear. Propaganda.

    Disgusted. We shall see what the next few weeks bring us, but I fear no matter how obvious the lies are, the media will continue, no matter how stupid they look.

    “No evidence, adnauseum” . Wilfully blind!

    1. Fully agree. I agree with those SDAers advocating cord cutting, to avoid helping to finance the corrupt media oligarchies.

      On a related note, I have been mostly couch ridden, shaking off the effects of cancer surgery — and have been watching too much TV, especially TV ads. They are all woke-pc, multi-cult drivel. But what I have decided to do is to boycott, as much as possible, all products heavily advertised on TV. For example, the ridiculous Tide commercials all virtue-signal, so I will be buying any off-brands on the shelf not advertised on TV.

      The lefty, granola eating types, of yesteryear, would always preach “buy local”. A bit extreme, but we should start refusing to buy from pc-woke corporations.

      1. DAVID…do not be afraid to cut the chord.

        Have a look at the NVidea Shield. It’s an Android preloaded small unit that will open up a whole new Planet. Prefilled with numerous streams Netflix, U-tube, Google Play, Disney etc. For std TV shows, one can upload KODI or STREMIO and I’m able to watch whatever TV Series/Movies I want – when I want with ZERO Commercials.

        Streaming rocks. Cable TV sucks.

        Telus gets $63.50/month for my 75gigbit/sec upload/download speed internet.
        I do not miss regular tv whatsoever.

      3. Will have you in our prayers. Visited NB back in 1960 as part of the Girl Guide 50th Anniversary celebration and loved your province.

    2. I love how the article starts….”there is no doubt that glasses are amazing”. Etc.
      Written by a teenager you think?

      1. There is so much to love in this article. My favorite is: gluing the mask to your face so your glasses don’t fog up.

  7. Hide your money and buy firewood. Climate Ken and Infrastructure Barbie are joining Angry Adolf today, to make an announcement.

    1. Not to worry, make sure you have the ability to take whatever you need from a liberal/ndp/green voter.

    2. From Juthtin’s CP:
      “Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson will show Canadians his path to net-zero emissions today.
      Wilkinson will be tabling climate legislation in the House of Commons to fulfil an election promise to be more aggressive in cutting greenhouse gases.
      The legislation will include legally-binding five-year targets for reducing emissions.
      Wilkinson promises that the new plan will cut more emissions by 2030 than Canada promised in the Paris accord.”

      It won’t be good news, that’s for sure, unless you’re one of the millions of Canadian sheeple who likes to be controlled 24-7-365.

      1. The “Five Year Plans” are a dead give away. Marxism. Period. Next will be right out of Dr. Zhivago…..some new “housemates” to fulfill the soon to be imposed “best use policy” for that nice home you forked out cash for, on a quiet crescent in suburbia. They’ll be dictating what you watch on Netflix, too.

  8. The wifey had to get some masks for her job. Says right on the box, not for medical use and also what it can stop, and a virus is not listed.

    1. Masks will keep the part of your face they cover from getting spewed upon by those who “speak moistly”.

    2. The CBC, of course, will make it the lead item on its next newscast….. Yeah, right. First of all, it goes against “The Great Reset” and, second, it’s from Alberta, the land of hillbillies and rednecks.

      Maybe it’ll be used as material on one of the CBC’s limp “comedy” shows.

      1. I just listened to Dr. Hodkinson’s full commentary on you tube. His controlled outrage is worth hearing. A couple of people on the zoom call applauded.
        So, breaking news or will he get buried and ignored along with his great barrington colleagues?

    3. Correct headline: “Alberta top patho revealed as dangerous crank; reveals value of aging old people out of their jobs before they become a hazard”

      Does this idiot think the dead people are all method actors?

    4. Right from the git go: “social distancing is useless because COVID is spread by aerosols which travel 30 meters or so before landing,”
      So, wear your Chinah made masks folks, or face a fine.
      Jeebus, there’s black helicopters buzzing all around this subdivision the last half hour, must be something going down in NenXiville this late morning.

  12. You want to see a pandemic horror show just read about what is happening now in Manitoba. The premier has hired 90 people from a UN private security firm that has provided security in places like Syrian Refugee camps to go out and find and fine people who violate the masking and distancing laws. Fines start at $246 for not wearing a mask and continue up to $1286 for individuals not social distancing and $5000 for businesses that don’t prevent social distancing. Plus the province has set up a tip line (as pointed out by Katie in an earlier post) to allow snitches to report on their neighbours. Even more insidious, money raised from fine will go directly to the municipalities where the fines were handed out to encourage local municipalities to welcome the UN goons. We have also been informed that the province will cut off access to the purchase of nonessential items if we don’t start behaving better. We have also had Christmas celebrations threatened as well. If we are bad, no Christmas. Even some of the most aren’t lockdown supporters in my area ares shocked by this but a surprising number entirely support this.

    1. That sort of control works so well in the Australian state of Victoria…..

      CAPTCHA thinks a motorbike is a bicycle…..

    2. This is just outrageous– and also pointless, since there is no evidence thst either masks or lockdowns do anything to prevent the transmission of the virus. Manitobans need to start protesting.

        1. Somebody wasn’t wearing a mask and voila, you wuz hatched, 9 months later!

          Wow, captcha seems to be on your side, UNDORK…..8 times.

        2. Unome Kate provided an interesting link a couple days ago featuring Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi.
          Dr. Bhakdi explained why the PCR tests are not being used for the purpose they were designed for and are giving an indication of covid-19 when in most cases all they are detecting is a presence of the genetic material.
          He also explained why compulsory masking is not the correct response to covid-19. The strands of viral material the masks allegedly protect us from are so miniscule it amounts to a joke.
          The link is an hour long but give it a listen. You might actually learn something.

          1. “PCR tests are not being used for the purpose they were designed for”

            You’ll have to explain and do so very carefully. I am aware of some problems with PCR when studies were implementing them faster than the tech could be qualified. Diagnostics is totally a purpose PCR was designed for.

            “The strands of viral material the masks allegedly protect us from are so miniscule it amounts to a joke.”

            This guy doesn’t understand how filtration works…and again, it’s been demonstrated.

          2. “Diagnostics is totally a purpose PCR was designed for”
            ‘totally?’
            I liked Dr. Bhakdi’s analogy to breathalyzer tests. You take 1 drink and if you blow, the alcohol detected is so small the officer lets you go but take many drinks and blow; you’ve got trouble.
            With the PCR test any amount of genetic material is detected and regardless of how little you’ve acquired; boom you’re on watch and all the people you’ve been in contact with as well. The PCR test gives no hint on the extent of your newly acquired ‘illness’.
            Dr. Bhakdi supports the use of masks in nursing homes and hospitals where they make sense but why make people wear masks where any contact with the virus will be so dilute and diffuse the mask wearing is completely redundant.

    3. “don’t prevent social distancing”
      ?
      DONT ?
      ?
      so if you PREVENT social distancing, in other words, ALLOWING the breach is what is required?
      if you DONT do that you get fined?
      ?
      dont you mean ENFORCE social distancing ?

      only in the prairies where conservatism is only another election away !!!!

  13. Rex Murphy at the National Post writes about the China virus. Of course socialists in downtown Toronto are outraged in the comments.

  14. Blackie’s government has spent over 36 million dollars to buy furniture so civil servants can work at home during the China virus. They state its not a waste of money, because they will continue to work flexible hours after the pandemic. Story at Blacklock.

  16. Earlier today Statistics Canada released data on the overall size of government. Over 40% of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product consists of general government activity. It is what Canada excels at. Whenever there is a perceived problem by the left-wingers, the remedy is always to create more government bureaucracies and employ more highly-paid public servants, who will then vote for political parties that support ever larger governments.

    And listen to how the public servants at Statistics Canada justify the massive size of government. The data are not allowed to speak for themselves. Canadians are told in the introductory comment to the data:

    “The contribution of public sector institutions is vital to the social and economic well-being of Canadians. Together, these institutions support the generation and redistribution of income and wealth, offering a wide array of essential services such as health, education, public order and safety, and economic affairs.”

  17. Just breaking! From the august pollster Abacus: Canadians are in favour of higher taxes they think someone else will pay.

    “On the idea of a 1% tax on wealth paid by people who have more than $20 million in assets, about 8 in 10 (79%) Canadians favour the idea, including 35% who strongly favour it. The idea gets at least 75% support in every region, across all age groups, all levels of educational attainment, and is broadly (73%) supported by households in the top income bracket.”

    The second idea tested was “a special tax that would apply to companies whose profits have gone up because of the circumstances of the pandemic.” For these companies, the corporate tax would be double on the profits they earned in excess of their pre-pandemic profit level.”

    This idea also found broad majority support (68%), albeit at a lower threshold than the personal wealth tax. Support was fairly consistent across regions, age, education and income lines. A majority of Conservative voters (58%) and larger majorities of Liberal (73%) and NDP voters back this idea (77%).”

    I felt the earth move. Actually I felt another NDP addition to their collectivist wish list, not content with proposing to destroy the extended healthcare insurance industry with universal pharmacare.

    I felt Canada shudderingly, incomprehensibly moving towards one party state status, now buttressed by leftist lunatics who think people just pony up and pay more and more taxes without economic effect, that only white supremacists or western rednecks would object.

    The poll support for pillorying wealthy Canadians in the town square met with somewhat tepid though. That will change.

    1. Well, back in the day when”…Canadians think….” was bandied about, I always asked the TV/radio….which ones?

  19. More evidence of how the SJWs have taken over the massive government bureaucracies. Have a read of this introduction to a report released today by Statistics Canada on crime statistics from indigenous areas:

    “Self-reported data have repeatedly shown high rates of victimization in Canada among First Nations people, Métis and Inuit. In the criminal justice system, Indigenous peoples are notably over-represented, particularly among offenders in correctional services. There has been much discussion of the ongoing impact of colonization on First Nations people, Métis and Inuit in Canada. Many communities are dealing with the effects of socioeconomic marginalization, violence and intergenerational trauma that can be factors in crime.”

    There was a time, not that long ago, when Statistics Canada was not political and released its reports without telling the reader to interpret the data in a way that the data simply did not support. Those days are gone. Now, any data that does not demonstrate the accepted left-wing narrative comes with a directive on how it should be interpreted. Big government: here to tell you what to think and what not to, regardless of what the facts are.

  20. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau just outlined his five year plans to his loyal drooling media. Zero emissions by 2050. Homes will be heated by captured cow farts. Everyone will be driving a sixty thousand dollar electric car. Everyone will have a great “green” job sorting packages at Amazon. And of course he answered most questions by trashing the Conservatives and Harper.

    1. BA, read that elsewhere. I guess it no longer matters, when we are exploring space with Hubble et al. I for one always marveled at the universe that I could see with the naked eye. Yet knew full well humans were never going to travel at the speed of light, which would be required to get anywhere from where we are. Warp factor 10 means human paste on the wall.

    1. ……….UK ban on fossil fuel vehicles………….

      That’s allot of Rolls Royce’s and Aston Martins on the English scrap heap!!

      Maybe they’ll crush them into little free pot pipes for woke people riding the Tube?

      1. I guess that means that Jane Bond will be pedalling a fancy-schmancy bike now. After all, if the franchise is supposed to be SJW PC, may as well go all the way, right?

      2. So far, it’s only a ban on sales of new vehicles. As we all morph to Cuba, like them, the maintenance and refurbishing talent could keep most of the old vehicles on the road for at least another half century. However, green theology will kill that as well as the goals have always been to eliminate the privately owned vehicle, period.

  23. Post Millennial reports on Blackie’s CBC slandering and falsely accusing a Conservative MP for nepotism.

  24. It seems China Patty is a bit of a hypocrite. Toronto Sun website reports that Blackie’s Health Minister flew more than we first thought.

  25. Please, no faux news. Disneyland, in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. I was there about a month later. I still have my deteriorating plastic hard hat as a souvenir and the newspaper with the headline “Burgess Shale Visits Disneyland”. (Custom printed to order). It was wonderful but I think Knott’s Berry Farm was a good competator, especialy for food. In those days California was another world. My father did not get the job he was seeking so we didn’t stay.
