Hold the Anchovies

See the source image                   Love it. Now this is something I would have done in my youth. I wonder if he has anchovies on that. No I didn’t lie Mr Trump. I asked for it.

See the source imageJust got a few minutes of international fame dude.  You’ll be forever known as the Pizza Guy!

And when you are finished with that pizza box….

After the “zipper” comes this new Canadian invention. How to remove snow from your roof. Only in Canada you say?….pity and shitty!

Who woulda thunk?:

Ottawa’s $2.1-billion light rail system, supposed to be finished by the end of this month, will not only miss its third completion deadline but is experiencing issues far more serious than city officials have led the public to believe, according to internal reports obtained by CBC.

The reports from the city’s rail operations show a litany of issues with the Confederation Line — the east-west system being built by the SNC Lavalin-led Rideau Transit Group — especially when it comes to the system’s ability to handle Ottawa winters.

“Vehicles are currently unreliable to the point that it has not been demonstrated that operations can be sustained during a winter weather event,” according to one report from last week.

And this in the second coldest, wintriest capital city in the world. Oh wait isn’t that SNC Lavalin the contractor?

“Je ne le comprend pas”  the SNC Lavalin head huncho was heard to remark. “It worked fine in Libya!”

No wonder Canada can no longer build or complete any major projects anymore. Next up for Lavalin is Montreal’s Jacques Cartier Bridge:

“Where’d the span go? Has anyone seen the spanner?” Frere Jacques asked Joseph Cartier

“This job should be good for another 20 years. Mon Dieu, sacre bleu., has anyone seen my pizza?”

The world is going nuts:   

The Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada ordered that a 14-year-old girl receive testosterone injections without parental consent. The court also declared that if either of her parents referred to her using female pronouns or addressed her by her birth name, they would be considered guilty of family violence.

The RCMP is preparing for the return of at least a dozen Canadian ISIS members detained in Syria amidst the collapse of the so-called Islamic State, a senior law enforcement official has told

The Liberal government is preparing the welcoming committee: “yes we will give them all really big hugs, plan the really, really big parade, serve real pizza with pork toppings and anchovies then give them each $10.5M – really! After all, they are all just misunderstood Canadians. It’s the Canadian way don’t ya know.

Canadian Veterans? Stand fast!

Al Stewart’s tribute to Admiral Jackie Fisher.

Off to get a meat lovers pizza. But hold the anchovies!

Craziness

And this is what I hate about Canada…identity politics

Jody Wilson Raybould’s father, an indigenous Chief from the Vancouver area, had this to say about the scandal involving his daughter: “I am so proud of my daughter. She is standing up for” – as he points his finger directly at the camera to emphasize his point – “YOUR LAWs.”

Not his, or the indigenous peoples, yours and mine. That, to me, says it all. Now I have great respect for Ms Raybould’s stance against the powerful pillars of Trudeau’ hacks BUT I have no respect that the indigenous population, as represented by this Chief, does not recognize Canada’s Rule of Law. And that pisses me off. “Your laws, not mine,” as he noted.

Why do we keep giving billions and billions of dollars to a group that doesn’t recognize or respect the rule of law in Canada? It kind of makes me wonder if this whole scandal was orchestrated for political gain by certain self interest groups. That could be my cynicism coming through.

You know, a great deal of our current ills would go away if everyone was treated equally under the laws of our land. And that everyone, everyone is a Canadian first and foremost. Not pretend Canadians or hyphenated Canadians.

A spry, dynamic looking bunch here don’t you think?

The um,committee, ah, um, he talks about is um, ah all liberals and the um, ah, um, ethics commissioner is hand picked by the um, liberal government, so, um, Canadians, can ,um, be rest assured that, um, our, ah government continues to, ah, um, be transparent to, um, the will, um, and ah, needs of, um, all Canadians.

Transparency? You bet as we Canadians can see right though you Mr Prime Minister.

Trudeau kinda talks like this guy sings….

You ai…ai..ai..aint seen nothin yet. Oh be…be…be…baby, you ai…ai…aint seen n..n…n…nothin yet.

Love this political cartoon…out of Quebec:

Deemed racist. Quebec Cartoonist apologizes. I think it is pretty funny.

Hockey is now deemed racist. Good gawd in Canada everything is now racist.

Canadians are way too sensitive and have no sense of humour anymore.

Canada’s next:

Wonder what stance the Green Party would take?  Burn, baby, burn….

Queen for a day! Every second day…maybe?

This isn’t a joke. Meghan Markle is planning to raise her royal baby “gender neutral”. A girl one day, maybe a boy the next. Poor kid!

From a recent poll of millennials in Toronto – probably Canada’s most liberal, left leaning city. On the issues of the day. Responses like “he’s cute,” “nice hair” or “I think he’s a good guy” were pretty common. Trudeau’s biggest accomplishment, as far as some were concerned, was that he had legalized marijuana.

Trudeau will be re-elected for sure.

We are doomed. But hey, I’m retired. Millennials will have to sort things out. After all the children are our future and that is why I just invested in Smith and Weston (sic)!….we are doomed!

Stop the presses: Famous VJ Day celebratory photo that the millennials want to suppress because it oppresses:

See the source imageMillennials thought VJ Day was a sexually transmitted disease. What on earth are our children learning in school these days??

Democrats control the House. Their first act is to have a Climate Crisis committee. Who are their visiting experts? Why 2 politicians, a climate activist, a 16 year old and a clergyman. Real experts…not. Oh and the Dem’s new media darling – Alexandra Occasionally Cortez But Generally Whacko – will probably be their keyhole (sic) speaker. I’m getting sic (sic).

I’ll never watch the Olympics again

The IOC are going to allow transgender women (male to female) to compete with real women in the Olympics…without re-assignment surgery!

Gotta go. There is just too much craziness out there for one blogger to handle:

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice…lip sync is a bit off:

California Screamin

Jupiter Drops and here I thought it was a pepperoni pizza with double cheese…from Panagopolis! Mmmmmmmm.

Trudeau denies Wilson-Raybould’s claim of interference in SNC-Lavalin case. “We did nothing wrong.  Me and my staff* have always stood up for the Canadian economy, Canadian Judiciary, Canadian Ethics, the Rule of Law, Canadian jobs and the Canadian way of life. The ethics commissioner will be looking into these allegations…so there!” And with that Trudeau took his mace and went homer.

See the source image Doh!

*Sorry, that should be “my staff and I Justin.

That may be true Justin but: stand fast Alberta, stand fast the Oil and Gas Sector, stand fast Ontario, stand fast veterans.

See the source imageUniforms coming…honest!

Oh and of course the Government Ethics commissioner is a hand picked liberal. How nice. Likewise the judiciary, academia, the press and culture in Canada. If you think the Family Compact of 1837 went away with the Durham Report, think again. It still exists! It is alive and well in Central Canada. Always has and always will.

Underlying issue is that Quebec based companies such as SNC Lavalin and Bombardier are, in the eyes of the Liberals:  “Two French to Fail.”

See the source imageJe me souviens!

And lost jobs at: GM Oshawa? No problem. Kinder Morgan? No problem. Northern Gateway? No problem. 100,000 jobs in the oil and gas sector lost? No problem….and on and on it goes.

A Liberal government equates to corruption and Quebec. Remember AdScam? Quebec construction industry? Macleans in one of their past articles claimed Quebec as the most corrupt province in Canada. Macleans got ridiculed for their article in the house of commons. Of course they did.

Canadians? Wake Up

So why oh why do Canadians continue to elect over and over again liberal governments and Prime Ministers from Quebec. Is it…self flagellation? Poutine perhaps?…who knows.

See the source image I’m voting Liberal peut-ine etre!

By the way, who did Trudeau appoint as Raybould’s successor in Justice and as Canada’s Attorney General?  Why, a Quebec MP of course – David Lametti.

It certainly did. Yeah but they were Canadian prostitutes. “So great Canadian b&^% jobs, Mr Speaker.” Talk about Liberal obfuscation.

Sign of our times: Mother shocked as her 4 year old walked home alone after being locked out of her pre-kindergarten class. She, the child, had dressed herself, went out to play but when she found the school door locked she decided her best course of action was to walk home. She did. Mother is clearly upset with the school, etc. Me? I would have been sooo proud!

From CTV News a while back on the upcoming winter of 2018/19:

“Before you book a one-way ticket to the southern hemisphere or prepare for a months-long hibernation in reaction to the Farmers’ Almanac’s bleak winter forecast this week, you might want to wait for Environment Canada to weigh in.

See the source imageRight over Canada!

Days after the Farmers’ Almanac released its winter forecast calling for “teeth-chattering cold,” Environment Canada’s senior climatologist has teased a more moderate outlook that is sure to be welcome news to many Canadians.

See the source imageLike at Niagara falls.

Senior Climatologist Dave Phillips said Environment Canada is expecting a “milder than normal” winter this year, thanks to El Nino. The routine climate pattern related to warm water in the Pacific Ocean is projected to be weak to moderate this year, Phillips said.”

See the source image“So, Welcome to Canada” he said.

After millions and millions of dollars spent we get a forecast about as accurate as a Canadian Nafta economist’s prediction that trumped everything. Environment Canada’s predictions are about as accurate as this guy’s:

And we only pay him carrots and some greens.

Have a great weekend. Read ya Monday. Stay warm.

If My Mother Was a Truck!

Love it.

Global Warming Redux:

Not Canada but northern US states – Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota: I 80 and I 90.

Good old fashioned winters are making a comeback.

White privilege? You can have it.

Toronto could see about 10-20 cm of snow today. And this is news why?? Hey people, it’s still winter and this is Canada after all:

Mystery(ies) of life:

“Only people of colour are allowed in.”

“Hey I’m white. Isn’t that a colour?”

Why is it that every time I park my car in a shopping mall parking lot, some guy or gal in a very large pickup truck parks right beside me making it very,very difficult for me to back out safely? Huh? Huh?

Why do so many sick people shop in health food stores?

If our food is going to kill us, as environmentalists claim, then why oh why are we living so long? Hmmm?

Why do my eyebrows stay the same colour when everything else turns grey?

And why do they spell grey gray in the US but grey everywhere else to describe the colour grey gray…eh? How can we ever attain world peace when we cannot even agree on the spelling of a certain colour, or a mood, or even the use of the letter “u” in certain words? Huh?

Liberal logic:

“A law is a law. What kind of a law? It’s a law. A law is a law. Until it’s not a law.”

Just like Chretien’s famous liberal line: “You want proof? The proof is in da proof is da proof. If it wasn’t proof it wouldn’t be poo…er true. If my mother had 4 wheels she would be a truck!” And with that profundity he made it to the top in politics  in Canada as our illustrious Prime Minister.

Following suit and not to be outdone by his liberal predecessor our current Prime Minister comes out with: “the budget will balance itself.” or equally profound is his response to a question about mankind “we like to say people-kind, not mankind, because it is more inclusive.” I can’t make this stuff up.

I wonder what the indoctrination week is like for new liberal MPs and newly elected liberal Prime Ministers:

Perhaps this….See the source imageFollowed by this….See the source image

At an event on Friday, Alexandra Ocasionally Cortez But Generally Wacko complained about criticism of her Green New Deal — much of it coming from her own party — that it’s a pipe dream. Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, for example, said that “there are things that are great goals, but are unrealistic.”

Ocasionally Cortez’s response: “Some people are like, ‘Oh, it’s unrealistic, oh it’s fake, oh it doesn’t address this little minute thing. And I’m like, ‘You try! You do it.’ ‘Cause you’re not. ‘Cause you’re not. So, like until you do it, like I’m the boss. How ’bout that like, like, like?”  Good gawd and what exactly did she say right there.

Occasionally art but generally wacko:

Just read an article about the 10 signs that a divorce is imminent. I know of only one sure sign that a divorce may be in your cards and it’s a no win situation. When your wife starts to ask you:

“Honey, does this dress look good on me?

Head for the hills buddy, turn on the TV, watch sports and never, never ever answer that question. Never! Or get a lawyer…quick.

Knit One, Lynch Two (SDA)

Apparently knitting is now racist according to lefties….DARN!

It is a crazy lefty world out there.

I’ve Been (Group) Thinking Lately.

NASA hides page saying the Sun was the primary climate driver, and clouds and particles are more important than greenhouse gases.

Nooooo. Really! Why? Well, it doesn’t fit the narrative of the environmentals, that’s why:

Cut and paste into your browser as it is a good article:

Who would have thought. And what about climate Armageddon? Given all of the dire prediction over the years, none have come about. Of course the latest being that if we do not address climate change by contributing trillions of dollars to the UN slush…er climate…fund by 2030 we are doomed.

UN predicted in 1982 that the Maldives would be underwater by January 1 2018 because of rising sea levels. Well, guess what?

See the source image

2019: Yup, can’t you see how worried she is?

Polar bears will be extinct by 2018.

See the source image

Bifurcation, or tipping points, of our planet have been predicted numerous time over the years by non climate scientists like Prince Charles (he had a few), Elizabeth May and others but primarily the UN, which has had a host of dire warnings of climate tipping points that will impact our planet’s survivability. Too many to list here but: 1982, 2002, 2007, 2014, 2015, 2017,2018, and now its 2030…to name but a few.

Katrina, a Cat 3 hurricane, was the worst natural disaster in US history. No, the Galveston hurricane of 1900 was. Check it out. The disaster of Katrina was primarily the result of the city of New Orleans’ poor emergency planning and poor infrastructure. The substandard dykes failed. The could not admit that so the narrative of climate Armageddon as an excuse for the city’s lack of preparation was born.

The Northwest Passage was ice free in 1903. That is how Amundson was able to make his historic transit.

But, many are not convinced and have drunk the climate KoolAid. And why?

Confirmation Bias or Group Think: where anybody else’s opinions are wrong if they go against the grain of the group.

Top: Jussie Smollett critics say that he hired 2 Nigerian friends to stage alleged “Hate Crime” against him. Hence 2 jobs created. The media lapped it up without any shred of fact checking. Group Think prevails. Yet many still believe he is the victim here…no matter what!

Bottom: Alexandra Occaisonally Cortez But Mainly Whacko, the Democratic Party’s current “darling,” was instrumental in the decision by Amazon to scrap their plan to establish a second HQ in New York. 25,000 potential jobs were lost. Queens was not amused. Group Think has consequences.

Now, I normally do not do this but I thought the following video is relevant to todays falsification and misleading of the facts to fit a specific narrative. It is about 20 minutes long but very interesting. Grab a coffee. Warning, background music sucks:

We are being manipulated by the (insert whatever here) narrative.

Research the issues and make up your own mind. By wary of Confirmation Bias and Group Think.

12 Angry Men: Great movie and an indictment of the dangers of Group Thinking.

Canadians….WAKE UP…to the BS that is being pushed onto you. Think!

Indoctrination!

Have a great Navy day.
