Shame not a shame

A day in the life of a Canadian (before the snow flies)

False Narratives undone on X

I need to respond immediately:

Things aren't so bad in Quebec, huh. Any thank yous for Alberta petro dollars free-flowing into Quebec City's provincial treasury?

No. In fact, they refuse to take Alberta oil from Alberta. They want it from Michigan.

Shameless Quebec politicians. The core of the criminal elite trashing Canada. Someday the truth will out about how their greed and selfishness turned a great country into a wasteland for the taking by the world's criminals.

They put a crime lord in Vancouver. They put a crime lord in Edmonton. They put a crime lord in Winnipeg, and that's all it takes to steal the nation blind. Liberals. The chief kakistocrats in the 21st century. Other nations run by criminals weep for Canadians. "We got it bad," say Venezuelans, "but at least we're not Canadians."

"We got it bad," said citizens of war-torn Ukraine, "but at least we're not Canadians." "We have a bad time here," say Gazans, "But at least we're not Canadians (yet)." "We have it bad," says Falun Gong, "but at least we don't live in Canada." This is 10 years of Liberals, but not any Liberals. The criminal elite of a once wealthy nation.

Then, I am sitting in my chair moments later drinking green tea and minding my own business when this faceless, nameless charlatan speaks:

To which I reply: 

Snowflake Conservatives?  You mean honest hard working Canadians who you betrayed by colluding with a Criminal Elite to steal the treasure of people on the right, the left, the centre, and the cradle?

You really need to F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fade away. Take your money and run.

 

You realize people can read this, in public, everywhere. You make derisive and divisive statements about more than HALF THE NATION!

You were told to leave the scene. NOBODY RUSHED TO YOU AND SAID, "TAKE MY SEAT IN PARLIAMENT TO LEAD THE NATION."  

NOBODY.   Calling people who disagreed with your filthy garbage trashing of democracy from 2019 to today, is disgusting. Please  Ph-Ph-Ph-Ph-Phuck the hell off!  Take a hint. Fuck off.

Let me ask you something. In a  25 $Trillion economy per year, what is a billionaire to you?  Nobody, because they wouldn't give you a second thought, right? They are people who worked at something other than taking from others. They may have built a satellite network, or an IT empire, or a consumer goods distribution network. They built something, for you to steal. That's you. A fucking thief.

You used a formerly viable political party to fleece a whole nation of it's purpose and wealth.

And you stand up and call the people of this nation SNOWFLAKES. You are a fucking turd. Not a snowflake. A ball of shit.

When I look in a mirror I don't see a snowflake. when you look in a mirror, you see a ball of hairy shit.

If you want to get into a slagging contest, go back to India.

How is this legal? Colluding with terrorists?

Point of the spear in the Battle of Okinawa was a Canadian Man O War

 More precisely it was the HMCS Uganda

"Like teetering on the raw edge of hell itself"

Click to enlarge

Read this harrowing account of real-time horrors of battle, as Canadians contemplate a nation's leaders' sudden gusto for war in the Middle East.

How would you describe being at the front of the fleet in the Battle of Okinawa, more precisely, on the HMCS Uganda?

Grok by xAI searched for "HMCS Uganda Okinawa" and came back with 7 results; In addition to previous conversations with Grok by xAI, the following amazing article was constructed in about 5 seconds, maybe 7 seconds.

Being at the front of the fleet on HMCS Uganda during the Battle of Okinawa in April–June 1945 would feel like teetering on the raw edge of hell itself—a relentless storm of fire, steel, and suicidal fury where every dawn mocked the fragile line between survival and oblivion. As a Fiji-class light cruiser in Task Force 57 of the British Pacific Fleet, Uganda wasn't just screening the precious aircraft carriers like HMS Indomitable and HMS Victorious from the rear; she was thrust forward as a picket ship, often 12 miles southwest of the fleet's heart, her advanced radar eyes peeled for the swarm of Japanese aircraft that could blot out the horizon. 

 Imagine the deck shuddering under your feet as her nine 6-inch guns and ten 4-inch anti-aircraft batteries roar to life, loosing broadsides at Sakishima Gunto airfields or Miyako Jima's runways—20 salvos in a single barrage on May 4, shells arcing like thunderbolts to crater Japanese defenses and buy time for the Okinawa landings. 2 sources

Quebec lives on Alberta oil while Federal politicians stifle production

Energy for Quebec from Alberta you're welcome

Canada's power imbalances are flagrant

Notice the flow of oil from Alberta to Quebec? 

Used to be Quebec obtained a vast amount of its oil by shipments from tankers.

Quebec bought Saudi and Nigerian and Venezuelan. Not any more. Quebec now buys exclusively from Alberta shipped to Montreal from Michigan.

This is important to weigh in discussions because it means Quebec is now married to Alberta for energy security but no one acknowledges this.

In a united Canada, this would be standard operating procedure for Alberta to conduct commercial enterprise with Quebec. If the nation was governed by national interests instead of regional interests Alberta wouldn't feel separated from the proceedings of running the country and prospering in it.

Liberal  politicians from Quebec stifle production with a House of Commons vote to maintain the cap on Alberta's energy sector. 'It turns out that nobody wants to build a pipeline when the government bans you from producing the oil to put into it,' said Poilievre.

Hey Grok, was the Suez Canal a big deal?

Was the Suez Canal a big deal?

Yes, the Suez Canal was and still is a big deal. Opened in 1869, it’s a 120-mile artificial waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, slashing travel time between Europe and Asia by avoiding the lengthy route around Africa’s southern tip.

Quebec banning public prayer

Canada Banning Public Prayer

The Quebec part of Canada at any rate

Shhhh Keep this quiet. 

I wasn't sure I heard it correctly. It almost snuck past me. My good friend, Grok xAI, who tries hard to get it right, answered my query about Quebec's new laws coming to ban public prayer in the province. 

This the Quebec government did on the slowest news day they could find, Aug. 29, 2025, the day before the nationwide Labour Day long weekend. Pretty much buried it as deep in the news cycle as it could possibly go. (I bet they didn't even bother to read the news release on CBC, English and French.) The bar was open at noon on Friday. And it's an Open Bar funded by free American booze and Canadian taxpayer green slush something or other. What Am I? A reporter?

First Nations transition from salmon fishing to salmon farming

Economic development meets Indigenous reconciliation

 

Diversity in the west coast seafood sector includes salmon farms, it is an achievement of which Canadians can be justly proud, especially regarding the First Nations factor in west coast salmon farming. Economic development meets Indigenous reconciliation through salmon farming and Indigenous communities on the west coast are working with Canada in a tremendous show of unity to the country, and the world.

Economic development is the play in this sector showing the benefits of being Canadian. Indigenous leaders and business people are committed to the process considering the number of agreements Indigenous leaders and communities have made in the salmon farm industry in B.C., and Canada, in the past three decades.

Did you sign your organ donor card?

The Downtown Eastside (DES) is a neighbourhood in Vancouver, B.C., with a reputation for the most poverty-stricken and crime-ridden streets in North America, and the DES comes by the reputation honestly. The area is carefully policed and closely surveilled but it's strictly a matter of containment. The causes of poverty and crime are examined as often as the poverty and crime are disparaged and wished away.

We are in a receding ice-age

Climate May Be Changing But It's Not Anthropogenic  The people Indigenous on the west coast of Canada entered the area 6,000 years ago, as the ice was receding. It is the last place settled by homo sapiens in North America after the last ice age.

Fresh off an ice age there was soon to be civilization, including slavery, wars, atrocities, and more wars, but as far as political entities were concerned, these late-comers in raising a continent can point to profound advancements in multi-national trade and relations, and multi-lingual written language (lost), and remarkable trans-generational management of resources fostered and cultivated in the temperate rainforest of these Coastal Nations.

It is the history of the Coastal Indigenous people of North America which informs about the direction the world of nature is taking with climate. It wasn't Indigenous people causing ice to recede enough to allow formation of human settlements in coastal areas starting 6,000 years ago, when vast human developments were well underway south of these areas.

B.C. aquaculture unique in the World

Indigenous Rights Include Choosing to Grow Atlantic Salmon in Traditional Territory

The unique nature of B.C. aquaculture, I learned, was the Indigenous leadership behind it. This does not preclude arguments from Indigenous chiefs and leaders who oppose the industry in their waters. I never heard an Indigenous chief or leader say publicly another nation is wrong to oppose fish farms.
