In honour of my dear mother’s 90th birthday, today we present you some beautiful scenes of rural Saskatchewan. My mom was adopted so her lineage is not entirely clear but through DNA we’ve recently established that her likely father was orphaned in 1919 in Omaha, Nebraska due to both of his parents dying from the Spanish Flu. He was one of the first few orphans at Father Flanagan’s Boys Town but ran away at some point and made his way up to Canada. Thankfully my mom ended up with a wonderful Polish-Canadian family on a farm near Lake Lenore, SK. She became a nurse and made her way out to Vancouver in the early 1950’s. She has definitely had some challenges in her life but managed to shape me into the dedicated SDA contributor that I am today. And quite a coincidence the city boy, that is yours truly, found a shared affinity of stubbornly pushing back with a rural Saskatchewan woman named Kate, who I’m truly honoured to know. For these words inspire me more than most of you will ever realize:
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.”
I’m blessed that my mom has reached the age of 90, though the past two years of insanity have been especially hard for seniors and for kids. Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you.
Your sentimental or more hard-nosed tips of the past day are much appreciated!

“Occupy Ottawa revisited 10 years later”

But those protesters were parasites. The government and MSM love parasites who riot and vandalise. Even if they don’t, parasites have 110% support.
Now, taxpayers are a different story. Because the government and MSM are the parasites. If you ever tried to remove a parasite from the host you will note how big of a fight it will put up.
Quiz on this subject tomorrow.
The Ontario tow truck industry is riddled with corruption and big Asian gang ties. It’s in a constant state of warfare.
If they are called upon to send the heavy lift trucks it takes to haul an 18 wheeler sparks will fly and not just on Sparks St. The tow truck mafia probably have friends in the LPC.
I love how the Red Star puts “Freedom Convoy” in scare quotes.

I haven’t bought a newspaper in years, but I picked one up while waiting at the cashier at the grocery store. I couldn’t believe it – it was like four pages. Gave me a warm feeling inside.
Headline by a so-called ‘newspaper’.
Not only the size but the price. I hadn’t bought an Edmonton Journal in at least 10 years and had some time to burn. It cost something like $3.30 for 28 pages.
Here’s something. The pro-Liberal Globe and Mail just published an ugly, mean-spirited op-ed column by former BoC head Mark Carney, attacking the truckers:

I know it’s under a paywall, but that’s probably good, since few will read the demagoguery. Carney is bucking for the Liberal party leadership
Justice must not only be blind, it needs to be juiced first:

I suspect that will generate 100 appeals.
Just when you thought that public education couldn’t get any more ridiculous:

My brother’s grandson had it out with his teacher. He marked the answer to him many genders as two. It was marked wrong.
He replied straight faced to the Dipper teacher that he now now identifies as a basketball.

Good one!
Speaking of the lying asshole Jason Kenney. Did one person actually get the $100 promised for getting the clot shot? Lies and more lies. Why is this bum still premier?
