1) On Friday, July 1st, the separatist Mayor of Longueuil will be the only elected official allowed to speak at the Canada Day celebrations http://www.cjad.com/cjad-news-community/2016/06/24/english-councillors-barred-from-speaking-at-canada-day-festivities-in-greenfield-park
In past years, at least two other elected officials spoke, and in English. The Mayor of Longueuil has actually tried to have English banned at her city council meetings!
Everyone is encouraged to go celebrate Canada Day in Longueuil and when the mayor gets up to speak, to sing O Canada loud and clear! No idea when she intends to speak. Here is a link to their site https://www.longueuil.quebec/en/canada-day
Please write to Mayor Catherine St-Hilaire and wish her a Happy Canada Day! mairie@longueuil.quebec


2) On Monday I attended a Montreal City Council meeting and had LOTS of fun with Mayor Coderre. The video is very amusing. Note how Mayor Coderre avoids the question. Please feel free to write to Mayor Denis Coderre Maire@ville.montreal.qc.ca  and ask him if he looks forward to answering my questions in the future!

3) Back in 1995, the OQLF ordered Westmount to remove bilingual signs that turn out to have been perfectly legal. The cost of replacing the signs and interest has been placed at $76,000. I wrote to the Ministry of Culture the other day and asked who I should file the claim with. The reply arrived this morning and I was advised that the Minister himself would personally handle the matter.

I encourage everyone to send the Minister the petition and ask him what he intends to do! :o) The Minister's email address is ministre@mcc.gouv.qc.ca and here is the link to the petition! http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/it-is-time-to-close-down?mailing_id=34778&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=15408329

An entire Province of mysogynistic and bigoted war mongering children.... sounds like the CPC.vision of Utopia

Jason Kenney running a provincial education system would be the worst idea ever


Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to picture what a generation of youths raised in the image of Jason Kenney would look like?
We just did – it looks really, really weird!
You've probably heard Conservative MP Jason Kenney is leaning towards jumping out of federal politicsand launching an elaborate scheme to unite conservatives in Alberta.

Jim Hightower: Souring Chicago's Sweet Treat


"Taking the NAFTA low road, they intend to move the iconic Oreo brand — and the jobs of 600 top-quality bakery workers — from Chicago to Mexico, where the minimum wage is a bit more than $4. Not per hour, but per day.
This is the tyranny of corporate globalization in action. In 2012 Kraft Foods split off its grocery business, which retained the Kraft name, and rebranded its remaining snack-food empire as Mondelez International, which includes Nabisco and its many brands including Triscuit, Planters nuts, Ritz crackers, Chips Ahoy and Oreos."

They don't even have the decency to appologize when they lie

Tories refuse to apologize to Liberal even as Sun Media retracts story their attacks were based on


OTTAWA — Conservative MPs are refusing to apologize for pillorying a Liberal candidate, even though the news story on which their criticism was based has been retracted.
Sun Media retracted Tuesday a story published last week that attributed quotes about the Harper government’s income splitting plan to Banff-Airdrie Liberal candidate Marlo Raynolds.
The quotes came from a secretly recorded conversation during a Nov. 13 public meeting in Canmore, Alta., involving Raynolds, local resident Tam McTavish, one other man and a young woman identified as Alexandra Constantinidis, a former parliamentary assistant to Conservative MP Rob Anders.
The story by Sun News Network personality Brian Lilley alleged that Raynolds had said couples with children would spend money saved from the Tories’ income splitting plan on television sets and cars, not on caring for their kids.
“Mr. Raynolds advises that he did not make those comments and that in fact they were made by Tam McTavish, which Mr. McTavish confirms. Sun Media regrets the error,” read a tiny correction box published Tuesday in the Ottawa Sun.

Right wing faux sympathy tactic

What is ... synthetic outrage?



Outrage is a very useful tool for politicians and journalists alike because it can be used to sell political ideologies as well as newspapers. Some things are genuinely outrageous, and deserving of media condemnation and decisive political action, but often it suits the purposes of vested interests to manufacture a load of synthetic outrage in order to further their own objectives.

In this article I'm going to use various examples to show how the tactic of using fake outrage to sell political ideologies or newspapers is not a specifically left-wing or right-wing thing, but a tactic that transcends the political spectrum. I'm also going to consider how displays of synthetic outrage seem to be becoming ever more common as the standard of political debate in the UK continues it's lamentable and seemingly inexorable decline into the gutter.

Jason Kenney: Rights & freedoms of Canadians given to us by God

3. Will civics class be merged with religion class?

He's practically half-way there already, telling a Chinese-Canadian business group during the 2015 election that the constitutional rights are passed down to Canadians from God.
According to Kenney's interpretation of the constitution, the Charter rights of Canadians derive from "being created in the likeness and image of God ... because if our rights are just given to us by a majority, or by the Parliament, or by the state, or by the judges, they can take those rights away."
Years earlier, Kenney also insisted rights are "granted to us by our Creator" to argue "fundamental human rights such as the right to life are inalienable."

Tuesday's Ride - 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury 361 Dual 4v's Video

Eyes Right!



Outraged by the arms sale to SA? Concerned with the increased manufacturing and export of tools of war?
Time for a vist, and revist to the nasty world of reality:
1) a reminder of what happened during, "the Steve days"
(shift in portfolios and Ministers obviously)
2) a visit to that world today

CCC : a Crown corporation arms dealer

 "There is no better trade show for defence equipment than a military mission."  

Marc Whittingham, CEO of the Canadian Commercial Corporation, the crown corporation that acts as Canada's global military sales agency.

But just in case demonstrations of Canadian military equipment against the 90% civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq are insufficiently compelling, the publicly funded CCC also rents a trailer with Export Development Canada at the big yearly CANSEC arms dealer trade show, which is where Embassy Mag caught up with its enthusiastically entrepreneurial CEO.


 CCC sees 'untapped market' for Canadian arms
"You wouldn't know it from the lack of news coverage, but the Canadian Commercial Corporation has been transformed from a low-profile Canadian intermediary agency to a major player in promoting Canadian global arms sales.
The Crown corporation, often referred to simply as CCC, is best known for its primary job, selling Canadian military technology to the US Department of Defense under the 1956 US Defence Production Sharing Agreement, which today works out to about $1.4-billion worth of product flowing south. 
But in the last few years, as the US defence industry began cooling after years of growth, CCC began talking to foreign governments about whether it was feasible for them to fill what was seen as a yawning gap by emulating some of the actions of the US defence department's Foreign Military Sales program.

Silent Rooftop Wind Turbines Could Generate Half of a Household's Energy Needs


Small wind turbines scaled to the right size for residential and urban areas have so far lived in the shadows of their larger wind-farm-sized counterparts. The power output has been too low for a reasonable return on investment through energy savings and the noise they produce is louder than most homeowners can deal with.

Jason Kenney's make-believe history of multiculturalism

2. Will Marxist professors still suppress "the Christian patrimony of Canada"?

And what would a hypothetical Premier Kenney do about the universities?
One thing might be to do something about those Marxist "academic theorists" who are apparently cooking up a secret plan to promote multiculturalism and "suppress completely the Christian patrimony of Canada," as Kenney explained to an Italian Catholic conference a few years ago.
If Kenney's talk about "the Frankfurt school of Marxists" sounds a lot like an alt-right conspiracy theory bouncing around the heads of Alex Jones or a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, that's because it is.
So, remember people: stay vigilant.

Adam ate the apple

A woman ran a red traffic light and crashed into a man's car. Both of their cars were demolished but amazingly, neither of them was hurt. After they crawled out of their cars, the woman said, "Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

The man replied, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"

The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished, but my bottle of 75 year-old scotch didn't break. Surely God meant for us to drink this vintage delicacy and celebrate our good fortune." Then she handed the bottle to the man.

The man nodded his head in agreement, opened it, drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman. The woman took the bottle, immediately put the cap back on, and handed it back to the man.

The man asked, "Aren't you having any?"

She replied, "Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police."

Adam ate the apple, too! Men will never learn!

Hebrew Lesson worth reading!



Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:


It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least 3,000 years old!

The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around
the world came to study the ancient symbols.

They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings.

The president of the society pointed to first drawing and said:



"This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem.



You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.


The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them.



Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that during a famine, they seek food from the sea.



The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews."

The audience applauded enthusiastically.


Then an old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said,


"Idiots... Hebrew is read from right to left...

It says: 'Holy mackerel, dig the ass on that chick"

SHAMELESS: The hidden private school tax haven for the rich


Do you lie awake at night, trying to figure out how to make money from your own kid’s recess? Do you sometimes wonder how you can turn your non-asset-producing children into better profit centres?

There’s a knack to being rich, and not everyone has what it takes.
If you’re traumatized that your local school went on the chopping block this week, why not ensconce your child in private school, where you too can learn the secret code of money?
Take St George’s School on Vancouver’s leafy west side. So much more than just a school, “Saints” is also a taxpayer-subsidized babysitting service for boys.
When your kids are on recess break in the public school system, you hope they don’t break anything falling off the monkey bars. When they’re at Saints, you lean back and think, “Isn’t this beautiful,” while your tax gains roll in.
That’s because to Revenue Canada, lunch, recess and after-school activities at elite private schools aren’t education, they’re day-care. The CRA grants over $3600 in annual child-care deductions against the tuition cost of every student at St. George’s, until the age of 16.

Jason Kenney: Canadian schools have brainwashed millennials

1. Will first graders continue being "hard-wired" with anti-conservative beliefs?

What would be the first order of business for a hypothetical Premier Kenney?
Presumably somewhere near the top of his list: ordering elementary school teachers to stop brainwashing first graders!
As Kenney explained to Ezra Levant at last month's 2016 Conservative convention, the reason millennials aren't supporting Conservatives is because they're "the first generation to come through a schooling system" (including both "primary and secondary schools") that has "hard-wired" them with "collectivist ideas":
"I think it's the first generation to come through a schooling system where many of them have been hard-wired with collectivist ideas, with watching Michael Moore documentaries, with identity politics from their primary and secondary schools to universities. That's kind of a cultural challenge for any conservative party, any party of the centre-right, and we've got to figure out how to break that nut."

The Grumpy Pharmacist



Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife.
Tearfully she explained, "It's the pharmacist. He insulted me terribly
this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would
even answer the phone."
Immediately, the husband drove down town to confront the chemist, and
demand an apology.
Before he could say more than a word or two, the chemist told him,
"Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm
failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast 
and hurried out to the car, just to realise that I'd locked the house with
both house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get my
keys."
"Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when
I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire." 
"When I finally got to the store a bunch of people were waiting for me
to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people,
all the time the darn phone was ringing."
He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of coins against the cash
register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I
had to get down on my hands and knees to pick up the coins and the 
phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash
drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of
perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke."
"Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally
got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use 
a rectal thermometer."
"And believe me Mr., as God is my witness, all I did was tell her."

Thanks Ivan
