“Today, we introduced the Canadian Space Launch Act. This legislation will deliver sovereign space launch capabilities to Canada and help create a new $40 billion space launch industry in Canada. We’ve reached the moon, but now we can launch Canadian rockets from home.” so says MP McKinnon
Canada’s latest space launching pad in Nova Scotia:
Site consists of a gravel road, two sea cans and a concrete pad to be rented at $50,000 per day for 10 years.
I kid you not. This piece of land shyte is costing taxpayers $50,000.00 PER Effin Day. And who uses it?
“We will make Canada strong” so says our Prime Minister.
“Because relying on the US for anything is our greatest weakness and existential threat, don’t ya know. Those dastardly Americans. We’ll show them.”
Yes, those dastardly Americans.
Drat! Eh Snidely?
So, let me get this straight. Would you rather have this Canada?
Or be part of this?
Artemis II
Me thinks central and eastern Canadians will want the former.
Oh, and by the way:
But…but…the US is Canada’s existential threat…don’t ya know.
And we are stuck with him until October 2029…YIKES! Probably longer.
I wish central and eastern Canadian voters would wake up to the fact that this emperor has no clothes.

Back in the saddle again. Blogging, but only a few days a week now. I thought I would start things off again by repeating my very first post way back in September 2016. Kind of gives some raison d’etre to doing this thing. It is a hobby and keeps me somewhat sane and my blood pressure low while trying to watch the evening news:
September 2016:
“This is my personal blog. While I have had this site up in my mind and “to do list” for over 12 months now, this is day one. But hey, I live for procrastination – and sailing!
I live in British Columbia. That’s Super Natural BC. Hippie-dom’s last vestige in Canada and probably on earth. Canada’s Greenie Province of protestors and environ-mentals – the wet coast and the left coast of Canada – Birkenstock paradise – land of fleece vests, Tilley hats, granola crunchers, tree huggers, cappuccino suckers, and…Salt Spring Islanders. Long skirts and gum boots. Hoelay Cliche! And, I am also a poor speller!!
The site’s header reflects one of the island’s a great views – looking east – across the beautiful Saanich Inlet, and the rest of Canada. But don’t eat the shell fish here. It will kill you. And you can’t swim in the water. It will freeze your bollicks, and other things, off.
From this viewpoint you can see the Saanich Peninsula in the distance: Cole Bay, Pat Bay Airport, Brentwood Bay and the famous Butchart Gardens (infamous if you suffer from environmental allergies) down the way south a bit. US Gulf Islands in the near distance, beyond the peninsula, with majestic snow capped Mount Baker on the far horizon towering majestically and menacingly over us all. Just hope the big one never comes. We will be screwed. But then again winds are westerly here. Ha, whew! Vancouver and points east??…you’re screwed. Perhaps the environ-mentals can clap their hands and change the plate tectonics, tsunami dynamics and vulcanology …er.. volcanology of the area, just as they arrogantly claim that they can control the weather and climate. If only they could just increase taxes, destroy the economy and donate everything to Gaia. If only they could just…be happy.
I am a retired Naval Officer. Just about 37 years of dedicated, loyal, unadulterated, blemish free service to her Majesty, the Queen. Yes, her Majesty the Queen, I am proud that I served my Queen and my Country – Canada. By the very essence of the military’s left, right; left, right; left, right cadence I am non partisan but I am very relieved that Harper signed my retirement scroll and not Dion or Justinian. I retired as a Lieutenant Commander, or a Two-and-a-Half in the vernacular lexicon of naval life.

A Nova Scotia wind farm run by friends of the Liberal Party required $206 million in public financing since no private lender would touch it, says the CEO of the Canada Infrastructure Bank. Ehren Cory said the costly venture was deemed too risky: “Private lenders alone were unwilling to provide the required financing.”
Sooo, Mark Carney’s government (YOU) is going to finance this boondoggle that is owned by friends of the Liberal Party of Canada. Conflict of interest? If you are a Conservative – hell yes. But is you are a Liberal – hell no.
And Canadian Trump Derangement syndrome.
Speaking of Prime Minister Carney of Canada. What has he done?
MOU here, MOU there, here an MOU, there an MOU, MOUs everywhere.
Which includes Canada’s Charter of Right and Freedoms.
Carney’s foreign policy?
“I am going to wipe my ass with those dastardly Americans.”
By the way, PM Carney says: “I got rid of the Carbon Tax:”
PM Carney’s British ancestors:
“Bring me back the good ole days.” says PM Mark Carney. His great, great, great grandfather is wearing the hat.
Drat!
“Take that, you American dogs you.”
“I’ll be the death of Canada just you wait and see.”
On a side note Mark, the US kicked British butt at the Battle of New Orleans. And if Brock was such a great soldier, why was he killed in his first skirmish of the War of 1812? Hmmm?
