From SDA: Strange to watch the supposedly non-partisan leader of Canada’s civil service say that there was non “undue” or “inappropriate” pressure on the attorney general to give a sweetheart deal to SNC-Lavalin but he doesn’t deny there was pressure, or no pressure or inappropriate pressure.
Just more typical Liberal obfuscation here.
No,no,no this is an “undue pressure” dude;
And this is “inappropriate pressure” brought to you by North Korea’s own Jumpin Jack Flash.
Meanwhile, back in the House of Cards…er Commons:
“Your place or mine Truedy!”
I thought Alexandra Occsionally Cortez But Generally Wacko was an American, not a Brit:
“New homes should be banned from connecting to the gas grid within six years to tackle climate change, UK government advisers say. “They want new-build homes in the countryside to be warmed by heat pumps – and cooking done on induction nobs, rather than using gas boilers and hobs.”
Will that be nobs or hobs?
In cities, new housing estates and flats should be kept warm by networks of hot air… says the report. The water could be heated by waste heat from industry. As in Gutter Oil!
An alternative approach is to use heat pumps, which draw warmth from the sea or lakes; or burn gas from waste.
A Brit Heat Pump
The high pressure, gas caloric input is awesome.
Oh, I know, let’s use Greenhouse Gasses to heat our homes. Plenty of that around. And it’s natural.
Greeenies and Alexandra Occasionally Cortez But Generally Wacko can’t argue with that!
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags are not good for the environment.
The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, “We didn’t have this ‘green thing’ back in my earlier days.”
The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
The older lady said that she was right — our generation didn’t have the “green thing” in its day. The older lady went on to explain:
“Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn’t have the “green thing” back in our day.
“Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But, too bad we didn’t do the “green thing” back then.
“We walked up stairs because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn’t have the “green thing” in our day.
“Back then we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn’t have the “green thing” back in our day.
“Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she’s right; we didn’t have the “green thing” back then.
“We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn’t have the “green thing” back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family’s $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the “green thing.” We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
“But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the “green thing” back then?”
There is nothing new or innovative about this so called Green Movement!
Now let’s talk about my generation:
Just read that Peter Tork of the Monkees died yesterday of a rare form of Cancer. He was 77. Almost nothing said about this by the media. Sad! The Monkees were Hollywood’s answer to the Beatles. Pretty delusional on their part, however, they did put out an impressive string of hits in their short musical lifecycle.
Here is one:
Peter is playing the keyboard in this video. He normally played bass and with Michael Nesmith on guitar, was one of the only true musicians of the group. He also played the comedic foil to the rest of the group on the TV series. David Jones, the lead vocalist, died in 2012. Like the Beatles, only two left.
Just heard about this. Ties in nicely with yesterday’s post:
Ice fishermen run over by truck on Sand Lake, according to family
On Saturday, Josh Strugnell and Jordan Lambert filled Strugnell’s Honda Civic with all of their ice fishing equipment for a night out on the ice at Sand Lake.
As midnight passed, Strugnell says the two friends remained in their individual ice fishing tents in the hopes of a late-night catch before turning in. Then something unexpected happened.
“A truck came flying into our tents and I don’t really know what happened next,” Strugnell said, as he doused his joint.
“Man that is wicked weed. What a fantastical dream I just had.”
His two fishin buds nodded in agreement:
Doh. True blue Canucks in their truck. Better stick with his beer buds!
“Y’know. Ice fishin is a really safe activity but ya gotta remain focused on what you’re doing out here, y’know what I mean eh? I mean ya gotta be aware of what’s happening around ya.”
Jussie Smullett’s hate crime turns out to be a hoax. He may be indicted for his bogus hate crime which in turn could be construed as a hate crime in hate itself. But what I really hate about this is that he allegedly hired two Nigerian scammers – is there any other kind – to perpetrate the hate action again a black, gay hateful actor. Except it wasn’t true. It was all staged as only an actor can do. Don’t ya just hate it when a plan falls apart?
“I hate whitey.”
Which got me to thinking about crime in general. When you think about it all crime is really hate crime.
“Why did you rob that bank?” the apprehended white dude was asked.
“Well I hate being poor.” the robber responded, and
“I hate working for a living, and
“I hate banks, and
“I hate getting up so early in the morning, and
“I hate Canadian winters, and
“I hate ice fishing…so there” as they whisked him away.
Would you like fries with that?
Seems that Macdonald’s employees have been fighting for the $15 bucks an hour minimum wage. Unintentedly (sic), the installation of ordering kiosks nation wide has suddenly popped up. “Don’t ya just hate this shyte” one employee was heard to say as he was being shown the door. “I think I may come back and do something nasty. I hate Macdonald’s. It’s a crime what they’re doing to us. I hate them!
“What are ya goin to do now?” he was asked
“I think I’m goin to apply for a job in the Post Office.”
Hmmmmmm.
An irate driver had this to say when he was pulled over for a traffic violation.
“I hate radar I tells ya. I hate it. In fact I hate this whole gall darn poh-lice department. Hate these traffic cops. I hate doing the speed limit. Hate it, hate it, hate it” he yelled in a road rage.
A woman who was caught shop lifting had this to say when she was apprehended and asked why she did it.
“I hate shopping here.” was all she could mutter. “I shop…I lift…I just hate paying is all.”
When you peel off the layers, all crime is really hate crime.
I hate everything!

“Not to worry” said our snow removing supervisor. “We have the finest and latest in snow removal equipment and technology.”
“Thank gawd for that.” I thought to myself.
You get what you vote for, or you made your bed now lie in it, comes this:
Veterans Affairs Canada upset with Trudeau’s government’s lack of interest with Veteran issues;
East Coast refinery giant Irving Oil, located in St John New Brunswick upset that eastern pipeline scrapped under the Liberal government;
Indigenous peoples of Canada upset that Trudeau fired one of their own;
Alleged groping incident by Trudeau 18 years ago. No story here…Move on. After all Trudeau is an avowed feminist;
Of course all Maritime Canada parliamentary seats went liberal in 2015. All of them and the Vets and the Indigenous, and all women pushed for an “ABC” movement – Anybody But Conservatives – and urged all veterans, Indigenous, women to vote Liberal. They did!
Duped again! Perhaps with the new marijuana laws they will be doped again in October 2019. Stoned and loving it! Liberals equate to “Smoke and Mirrors” I say.
Democrat Representative Occasionally Cortez’s Green New Deal plan – Go for it. Even Trump agrees:
Say what? WTF over?
“I am so glad that I was able to walk away from this crash. So glad that I had a $110,000 Tesla – with their driverless, hands free technology.” so says the survivor of this crash.”
“However, I am a little disappointed to learn that its (Tesla’s) autopilot feature is unable to identify a stationary construction vehicle.“
A little disappointed?

Most popular Democrat right now? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That wacko hard left wignut who wants to bring the US to the Socialist brink of economic extinction.
So what does “Ocasionally Cortez” but mainly “Wacko” say now:
Ocasio-Cortez, a media darling no matter how many inanities she utters, triumphantly tweeted that whipping Amazon’s “corporate greed” and “worker exploitation” proves that “anything is possible” Anything — like sucking the air out of the city’s economic life and future – and people’s livelihood
Note: Amazon just pulled out of New York potentially pulling 25,000 jobs with them. Where will they go? Not Portland that’s for sure.
There is no doubt that this hard leftist, anti business, destroy the economic lifeblood of a nation policy is soon to be coming to Canada (it already has) through the Greens and NDP. The Liberals may jump on this bandwagon as well (they already have) to secure votes and maintain power. After all, over 60% of Canadian voters are left leaning. By the way they call this type of social engineering…communism!
Lets take a look at social engineering…er…housing:
Venezuela. Yes but it includes an indoor washer and dryer!
Not some Eastern European project but downtown Toronto’s Regent Park.
Can’t wait! Oh and Finland introduced a guaranteed living wage for all citizens. It was an abject failure and had to be scrapped. Why? They couldn’t find anybody to work the programme.

Here is an excerpt from that trail blazing movie:
Madeline Kahn was a fantastic actress. She died way too young.
From the “You Won’t Believe It’s True” file” comes this:
“Just when frustrated residents of New Jersey, one of the most heavily taxed states in the US, thought Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy had already brought the state into the ninth circle of taxation hell with new taxes to save the state’s ailing pension system, middle class voters in one of the least affordable states in the country have now been given one more thing to complain about: A tax on the rain.?”
The air that we breathe is next. Why? Because every living thing on the planet expunges CO2. Yup even Santa Claus Virginia!
I bet you didn’t know that a human body is comprised of 18.3% Carbon. Therefore, given our Liberal politician’s absolute pathological hatred of all things Carbon – “it’s a poison man, a poison” and given that for every breath they take they exhale C02 then why don’t all Liberal and Progressive politicians do us all a favour by taking themselves and all of their cronies, consultants and advisors out of the gene pool. For heaven’s sake…er…for the planet’s sake. Lead by example for a climate change…why don’t you. “Take my Prime Minister…..Please.”
For those of you who do not know, Jody Raybould Wilson is / was Canada’s Justice Minister or Attorney General of Canada for want of a better term – a woman and an Indigenous person to boot. And that is exactly what our spineless Prime Minister Turd-ope did. He gave her the boot by relieving her of the Justice portfolio with a demotion of her cabinet stature to that gawd awful, gawd forsaken job of Veteran’s Affairs and Deputy Defence minister! Naturally she resigned from Veteran’s Affairs and has since resigned from Turd-ope’s LIberal Cabinet (she has my respect).
Everybody (except Turd-ope and Turd-ope’s Butt) knows that Wilson was demoted because she would not fall victim to Turd-ope’s and the Prime Minister’s Office’s pressure to intervene in the SNC Lavalin fraud and corruption case by giving SNC a free ride and exoneration from all current and future charges. After all SNC Lavalin, like Bombardier, is a major engineering and high tech firm based in Quebec. And like Bombardier, SNC was deemed by Turd-ope and the PMO as “Too French to Fail.”
The alleged intervention in this case by the Prime Minister and the PMO is, if deemed true, a blatant conflict of interest of the highest order. It is an action that undermines our democracy and rule of law, as it equates to interference in a legal case by government officials. This is far more serious than ADSCAM. But given the liberal propensity of our media this will probably be construed as a non event so “move on people. No story here.” It will not be covered by the press. And Turd-ope, just like the alleged groping incident, will be given a free ride on this “Shame on you the Me Too” crowd for allowing that incident to disappear from the public’s eye.
Family Compact? Remember that from your Canadian History. The compact that hastened the revolts of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada and resulted in the 1839 Durham Report which in turn led to the Act of Union of Lower and Upper Canada of 1840, which ultimately resulted in Confederation of 1868 and the British North American Act (I researched this so you don’t have to). Well if you think that the Family Compact went away think again. Canada’s political hierarchy has been anchored in Quebec and Ontario since 1867. That political hierarchy has been running this country ever since Confederation. If you think that the Family Compact in Canada is dead then consider this:
House of Commons or Canadian Representatives….Predominantly Liberal;
Cabinet or Executive Branch of Government…………..Liberal;
Judiciary…………………………………………………………………….Liberal
Academia……………………………………………………………………Hard left Liberal;
Cultural………………………………………………………………………Hard Left Liberal; and
Media………………………………………………………………………….Liberal.
With respect to criticism of government policies there is no debate but rather a typical government response of: Racism, Bigotry, Homophobia, or some other form of Phobia.
CANADIANS!………………………..WAKE UP!
Now I am not a fan of Proportional Representation as the NDP or Greens would define it but I am in favour of some form of government electoral system that is not tied to the “First Past the Post Paradigm.” After all, if a party forms a majority government in Canada, what we really have in this country is an elected dictatorship for 4 years…..not good.
