Stompin’ Tom Connors sadly passed away March 6th, 2013, a little more than two years before Justin Trudeau was elected.
Stompin’ Tom loved Canada. And I understand why. The Canada he sang about was a wonderful country, a country worth loving, defending and fighting for.
But he never lived to see what Canada would become under Justin Trudeau advised by Mark Carney.
For me, February 19th, 2022 changed Canada forever.
That was the day Canadians watched the government direct a massive police operation to descend on their fellow citizens in the nation’s capital. Police lines advanced. Mounted officers were deployed. Protesters were arrested. Weapons were pointed as thugs cleared downtown Ottawa.
Whatever you thought of the convoy, seeing the power of the state illegally brought down on Canadians protesting their own government crossed a line for me.
Stompin’ Tom famously loved this country. When he died, his final message described Canada’s beauty, character and spirit, and the people and places that made it, in his words, “the greatest country in the world.”
I wish he had been right forever.
P.S. Stompin' Tom was a class act. He wouldn never have called anyone "bootlickers."
WOW
A 30 yr old woman breaks her ankle.
Doctors try to reset it. TWICE.
Failed.
So they sent her home.
She waited days for surgery.
SHE DIED the day before.
Why? Because of a blood clot.
Our healthcare, it ain’t free.
Don’t call it that.
We pay for it.
And sometimes we pay again, with our lives.
Migrant charity in Scotland is now giving lectures to migrants on when they can have s*x with teens and avoid arrest
I can’t believe this is real
And we’re told that if you don’t want these people invading your town than you’re a far right fascist
And the final update to this saga:
I was just at his sentencing. The prosecution had asked for 15 months in prison because of the randomness and aggression in his assault on me and his extremely long history of violent crime (43 prior convictions).
The defense asked for no time because he is black and jail made him sad (yes really).
The judge decided on a “middle ground” sentence of 9 days in jail, of which he will serve 6 days.

Today, the Supreme Court of Canada released a decision providing some much-needed clarity about government action, administrative competence and accountability.
This case captures one of the problems citizens face when challenging government action: too often, the response from the courts is essentially, “Well, they tried their best.”
But shouldn’t we demand a higher standard when public institutions exercise significant authority, spend public money and administer programs supposedly in the “public interest”? Shouldn’t they be expected to administer those programs and services competently?
Thankfully, in this case, the Supreme Court rejected the lower court’s conclusion that an administrative error had to be intentional or made in bad faith before it could constitute a serious irregularity.
It does not.
The Court recognized that honest, unintentional and good-faith errors can still cause serious harm.
Elections Canada created a postal-code error, knew about it and failed to correct it for more than three weeks. As a result, a citizen’s vote was not counted, affecting the election result.
Intentions matter, but so do consequences. “We tried our best” cannot excuse a serious failure that was within a public institution’s power to correct.
Canadians need competence, responsibility and accountability from their governments. For goodness’ sake, that should not be difficult or controversial!
Citizens should not have to sue their own government simply to obtain competent administration of the public institutions, services and programs they already fund.
Government exists to serve the public, not to force citizens to fight through the courts to correct its avoidable mistakes. When government uses public money to shield itself from public accountability at virtually any cost, we have completely lost the plot.
So, thank you to the Supreme Court of Canada for setting things straight. I hope this decision ensures that our public institutions and government officials understand that good intentions are not enough. Canadians are entitled to competent administration, meaningful accountability and consequences when serious, avoidable errors cause harm.
Down along the Danforth between Main Street and Dawes Road, there is quasi self-appointed security, which harasses anybody who tries to capture the images of the apocalyptic mayhem that permits, which should be a celebrated Toronto Neighbourhood, but has become a no go zone
The walls are closing in on those responsible and they feel it
Expect them to attempt to silence, label, ridicule, and lash out at those who are exposing what they did, as self preservation starts to kick in
Keep in mind that Health Canada and Public Health Agencies across our country in large part take their cues and rely on “expert advice” from the US health authorities
Expect them and their partners in Canadian politics and media to also attempt to silence, label, ridicule, and lash out at those who are exposing what they did

“Opinion: Canada is a crime scene. Allison Inquiry concludes
“Health Canada’s tally of post-COVID jab adverse events counts nearly 7,000 serious illnesses, but the Allison Inquiry heard the real number, and it could be 100 times that.”

This statement from the Capitals is an outright lie.
It says Ovechkin was "asked by his *country* to participate in a video campaign."
He was asked by a political party, United Russia, to appear in a partisan ad, not by the Russian Federation.
Or are the Washington Capitals now part of Putin's propaganda machine, implying that there is no difference between Putin's party and the Russian state?
BREAKING NEWS: The Sudanese Australian lady who recently declared on prime time Australian TV that white Australians have no culture is in fact the daughter of a Sudanese war lord who abducted and enslaved hundreds of child soldiers and dozens of them died of starvation.
Australian state broadcaster ABC selected her to speak for the pro-migration side in a national migration debate.
She is the daughter of Sudanese warlord William Nyuon Bany - I found these detailed descriptions of his war crimes in a Human Rights Watch report from 1995.
Aaron Rodgers... "Covid was a multi-trillion dollar worldwide Psyop meant to see how much they can control us. That’s why people dislike me… because I don’t give a shit. I’m going to tell the truth."
"Governments, media, tech platforms, and pharmaceutical companies all moved in lockstep. Billions were spent. Dissent was punished. Questions were treated as moral failures. The goal wasn’t public health. It was to measure how quickly people would surrender their judgment, their jobs, their kids' education, and their right to say "no."
"85% of people complied. They took the shots, accepted the mandates, and then acted shocked when the same institutions that sold them certainty started walking it back. A lot of them still can’t admit it was a test of compliance. They’d rather keep calling people like me dangerous than look at the data, the lab-leak evidence, the shifting narratives, or the damage done to kids and small businesses."
"That’s why some people still hate me. Not because of football. Because I wouldn’t play along. I said I was immunized when I meant I had my own protocol. I refused the product. I called Fauci what he is. I pointed out that a captured media and a captured public-health apparatus don’t get to lecture anyone about "the science." And I’m not going to start lying now just because it’s easier."
"I don’t give a shit about the cost. I’m going to tell the truth. The experiment happened. Most people failed it. A smaller group noticed in real time and refused to pretend otherwise. That’s the only scoreboard that still matters."
