VIDEO for Canadians: Nature abhors a vacuum

Canadians, the inhabitants of the Great No-longer-white North shown in Liberal Red on the map above, are getting tariffied by President-elect Trump's threat to annex what's left of their country, now that Emperor Trudeau II has finished wrecking it. (See yesterday's post, below.)

Tariffied, yes, but also puzzled? Why is he saying these things? Why now? Because, dear frostback readers, the time is ripe. After almost a decade of your woke, gliberal, anti-Caucasian leaders -- the ones you dopes elected! -- telling you that you're nothing but a bunch of privileged, white-supremacist, racist colonialists, you have no pride left... no will to defend yourselves against the resurgent pan-American nationalism of your neighbours to the south!

If you don't want to join the Disunited States of America -- Why would you? -- it's time to stop letting the Liberals (big- and small-L) and their lickspittle media stop putting you down! Stand up on your hind feet, and shout, loudly and proudly, "I... am... Canadian!"

 

You don't have to drink Molson's beer. There are lots that are better, and all are better than the swill Americans call beer. But a couple of cold ones will put you in the right (as well as Right) frame of mind.

CORRECTION: Trudeau did NOT resign

Although you couldn't see it for fog, the sun rose this morning, as usual, over Cape Spear NL, the most easterly point in the People's Republic of Canuckistan -- Justin Trudeau, prop. 

Yes, Virginia, yesterday's smarmy and self-serving speech notwithstanding, Blackie McBlackface is still Prime Minister of the Great No-longer-white North. If a document -- e.g. an immigrant visa for an Islamic terrorist or a cheque to the President of Rumbabwe -- requires his signature, he'll still be there at Rideau Cottage.

"But," you may ask, "didn't Elon Musk say 'Trump won, Trudeau resigned!'?" Indeed he did, but he was only half-right. 

Desperate to get rid of Little Potato, hopeful Canucks didn't listen carefully to his words of farewell. What he actually said was, "I intend to resign as party leader [and] as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process."

Geddit? Not "I am resigning today" but "I intend to resign...after..." Future tense throughout. The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau is still Prime Minister of All Canuckistan, and there's not a damn thing any of you frostbacks can do about it.

To ensure that corruption business will be carried on as usual until such time as he actually resigns, Junior took the precaution of asking the compliant Governor-General (whom he appointed), to prorogue (read: suspend) Parliament until March 24th, at which time a new session will begin. Until then, there will be no annoying questions asked or challenges made to the supremacy of M Trudeau, his Liberal Party, and the liberal elites who run what is left of Canada.

The Big Question to be answered is: who will replace the Greatest Narcissistic Procrastinator in Canadian history. Walt will now give you the morning line and predict the likely result of the race nobody wants to win. Early entries are:

Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and, more recently, the Bank of England. Born with a silver sppon in his mouth, educated at private schools, member of the Toronto liberal elite. Has the backing of Big Business and (especially) the Big Banks, since he's "one of us". Like former Liberal Leader Michael "Iggy" Ignatieff, but without the charm. Vulnerable to the sasme attack ad: "He didn't come back for you!"

Chrystia Freeland, rebarbatvie former journalist whose farewell party at the Groan and Wail was held in a phone booth. Most recently Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister (an office not recognized in Canada's constitution) until she quit last year when told she was about to be demoted. Another resident of Toronto's toney Rosedale enclave. Has Ukrainian heritage but the Ukrainians never vote Liberal. Speaking style reminiscent of an Anglican missionary declaiming the Articles of Faith to a congregation of fuzzie-wuzzies. Will have the backing of the Sikh bloc as the most easily manipulable. Oh, she's a woman too, the darling of the feminists, both female and male.

Dominic LeBlanc, the latest to hold the dreaded Finance portfolio, because no-one else would take it after Ms Freeland quit. Son of a Governor-General, friend of the Trudeau family since childhood. "I've known Justin since he was a baby!" Bilingual (unlike the other two) and from New Brunswick/Nouveau Brunswick so won't upset the Québécois or the Toronto elites. Congenial (read: bibulous) and "a safe pair of hands", meaning he can be trusted to do nothing and depart gracefully following the spring election disaster.

And the winner will be... Dominic LeBlanc. Since the Gliberals face certain defeat in the election which will be called within days of the opening of the new session of Parliament, none of the other candidates will be trying too hard. They will be focusing on what happens after M LeBlanc resigns. He, however, will be happy to retire with the title of Prime Minister -- he's been everything else! -- and the pension and other perqs that go with it. 

You read it here first. Walt's lifetime pct: .987.

Good news from Austria: The Right coalesces to take power

Christian Stocker, the new leader of the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), said today his party is prepared to negotiate with the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) to agree on a pathway to forming a coalition government.

As reported on WWW, the FPÖ won the most seats in Austria's parliamentary election last September. The ÖVP subsequently tried to keep them out of power by cobbling together a coalition of centrist parties with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), and the liberal NEOS. They failed.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer, leader of the ÖVP, maintained his opposition to governing with the FPÖ, and was duly ousted by more practical members of his own party, who preferred collaboration with the rightists to a continuing stalemate. The only alternative was a new election, which could only have been held around the end of December. Moreover, polling indicated that the FPÖ would win another election even more convincingly.

Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen said this afternoon that he had the impression that, with Herr Nehammer out of the picture, the voices within the ÖVP rejecting collaboration with the FPÖ had become significantly quieter. He will therefore start talks tomorrow with FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl  about forming a new government. 

Walt's comment: This is a real Kickl in the ass to the lefties and Euro-wienies. Happy New Year too the people of Austria!

Senile Joe hands out Anti-American awards

Walt is not the only one bestowing honours and awards for achievements in 2024. Yesterday Senile Joe gave the Medal of Freedom on failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate, and well-known election denier Hellery Clinton. Yes, we have a photo.

Other recipients of the nation's highest civilian honour were poster-child for TDS Liz Cheney, and pinko billionaire George Soros, the kingpin of progressive politics, who’s poured billions into funding far-left causes, soft-on-crime DAs, and anti-Israel campus protests.

The medal, along with $1.98, will get you a coffee at McDonald's.

VIDEO: Dr Jordan Peterson interviews Canadian PM-in-waiting

This video was recorded on 21 December 2024, and would have been nominated for a Wally Award, had we only known about Instead, we've already placed it on the list of possibilities for Most Important Polical Interview of 2025. 

Dr Jordan Peterson sits down with the Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Canadian member of Parliament (and Prime Minister-in-waiting. They discuss his role as Leader of the Opposition, the untapped energy sector, the real reason Canadians cannot afford homes, how Chief Walking Goose (aka Justin Trudeau) has walked the country off a cliff, and what will likely happen in the run-up to the much-anticipated 2025 election. 

This video has received nearly a 1.4 million views so far, and is well worth watching in full, but if you can't handle it all at once, there's a chapter index on the YouTube page.

 

This video has nothing to do with hockey or the weather, but we hope our Canadian readers and friends will be sufficiently motivated to get involved, and not make the same mistake they made three times already!

UPDATE on the NOLA massacre, from the Babylon Bee

Further to our report on an unpleasant incident in New Orleans, in which a former soldier, who may or may not have been a Muslim, and may or may not have been a member of ISIS, and may or may not have been a jihadi wanna bet, took out 15 innocent bystanders, we are pass on the news, gleaned from the Babylon Bee (where else!) that the "FBI Assures Nation It Will Put Its Most Diverse Agents On Terror Case".

Makes you feel safe and secure, doesn't it?

Poor Len Canayen reviews the Canadiens' season to date

We haven't heard from our National Sports (As Long As It's Hockey) Editor since the beginning of the NHL season, so it's high time for Poor Len Canayen to address the current state of the CH (Montréal Canadiens) nation. Over to you, Len...

Tank  youse, Hed. First the standings and stats. We are now almost half-way into the 2024-5 season -- 37 games played -- and les Glorieux are in 6th place in the Eastern Division, with 17 wins, 17 losses, and 3 overtime losses, good for 37 points and a points percentage of .500.

That's not good enough to make the playoffs, but after a poor start in October and November, last month was encouraging. Les Boys are on a 3-game win streak, and have won an amazing 5 out of their last 6. New Year's Eve's 3-2 comeback win over the Golden Knights warmed the cockles of my heart. [If they're still too warm, try rubbing them with ice. Ed.]

To what or whom should we attribute the change in the Canadiens' fortunes? Let's see... 

Goal - Cayden Primeau had his chance to provie that he was a reliable backup to Sam Montembeault. Turned out he wasn't, so Primeau is now back in the AHL, where he belongs. Knowing that his position as the starter is safe seems to have increased Monty's confidence and he has been playing well of late.

 

Montembault doesn't have the reflexes and style of Carey Price, and still needs to make sure that he has hold of the puck when he stops it, but overall he is much improved. Jakub Dobes, called up from Laval to replace Primeau, pitched a shut-out in his first game against the Florida Panthers, and looks like a good bet for the future.

Defence - Coach Martin St. Louis tried a number of players and combinations to build a solid defence, but nothing worked, and there was talk of replacing veteran D-man David Savard, which IMHO would have been a mistake. Right-handed defencemen are hard to find. Instead. Finally they traded accident-prone Justin Barron to Nashville for another veteran, Alexandre Carrier, whose play has brought stability to the blue line.

The big news of this season, though, is rookie Lane Hutson, whose ability to skate and stick-handle made him an instant favourite of fans of the bleu-blanc-rouge. He has scored only two goals but has an incredible 24 assists. The big things about this little guy, though, is that opponents just can't take the puck away from him. Yes, he still makes rookie mistakes, and he needs to put on some weight, but the -9 beside his name isn't solely his fault.

The blossoming of Hutson may have miffed Mike Matheson, one of my personal favourites, but he should be relieved not to have to shoulder the defence burden all by himself. Two younger players, Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle, can also relax a bit and concentrate on improving their positionaql play. They'll be OK, and if not, then Jayden Struble will be happy to come down from the press box and bring his brawn with him.

Forwards - In the first two months of the season, scoring was not as big a problem for le CH as was defence. However, there was a problem with the offence, in that it was unbalanced. The team had one (only) scoring line, composed of Cole Caufield, Captain Nick Suzuki, and whoever was out there with them. The other nine forwards mostly ragged the puck until it was the Suzuki line's turn again.

That has changed. Patrik Laine, acquied from Columbus, had the bad luck to have his leg broken in his first regular season game with the Habs. The limb has mended now, and he has scored 8 goals in 13 games. It would be nice to see him score 5-on-5, but Laine has definitely earned his place. Good on yer, Patrik!

With Laine in the line-up [geddit? Ed.], Juraj Slafovsky is back on the top line, where his inability to put the puck in the net isn't as noticeable. Old pros Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson, with a big tip of the toque to Anderson, who has finally figured out that his strength is not as a scorer but as a defensive forward, à la Bob Gainey. Well, maybe not quite, but he has certainly moved to the "asset" side of the ledger.

Another veteran who has risen to the challenge is Joel Armia, who, with Anderson, is doing a great job on the PK. Even more surprsing is Jake Evans, who has become a star on the PK, with 3 shorties, to which he's added 7 even-strength goals, for a total of 10, tied with Gallagher as the Habs' third-highest goal producer.

Then we have Emil Heineman, who didn't do much until recently, mostly because he languishes on the 4th line and doesn't get a lot of ice time. But this month he's played hard, determined to move up the roster, and has 9 goals to show for it.

Finally, Kirby Dach, Christian Dvorak, and Alex Newhook, all of whom YVT would be glad to see traded for a bag of pucks or whatever GM Kent Hughes could get. Except... this month Dach sudde4nly started scoring. Perhaps it's playing with Laine that did it? Newhook has been getting some looks on the power play, and it must be said that he does try hard. 

Dvorak has hands of stone and never seems ready when someone passes the puck to him. But he is one of the Habs' top two at the faceoff dot (Evans is the other), and is a tough guy to play against. The last mention in this review goes to resident tough guy Michael Pezzetta, who hasn't been seen on the ice since... I can't remember. The Canadiens have been lucky, so far, in not having any serious injuries, except for Laine. When the time comes, as it will, Pezzetta will be there.

Prognosis: It would be nice to predict a 4th-place finish for la Sainte Flannelle, but I just can't. If Ottawa folds (as I predict), the Habs will finish 5th in the Atlantic. Playoffs next year. Lifetime pct .987.

Wally Awards for 2024: Best Christmas sweater

To Agent 17... I thought we were done with gloating, but couldn't resist this one.

OK, the American election is over. Coming up in 2025: Germany (this month), Canada (in October but, pray God, sooner), and France (possibly). Up the right!

"Allahu akbar!" in NOLA - Another year of peaceful coexistence begins

New Year's celebrations and festivities surrounding the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans were marred (but not cancelled) before dawn this morning, when a man driving a pickup truck rammed it into a crowd in the French Quarter, killing ten and injuring dozens more.

We were about to run the customary meme when someone said, "What if it's an 'anti-Islamist', like the guy in Magdeburg?" So we waited a couple of hours, and sure enough...

The FBI is investigating the slaughter of innocents as an act of terrorism. An Islamic State group flag was found in the vehicle, they said, along with an IED (read: bomb). The driver, who was killed in an exchange of gunfire with New Orlean's finest, has been identified the driver as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a resident of Texas. It's possible that he is not unrelated to the Shamsud Din Jabbar who appears in this video selfie.

 

If this property manager of Blue Meadow Properties LLC in Sugar Land TX (not a million miles from New Orleans) is the person shown in this photo, he will no longer be in a position to represent you in your real estate dealings.

For some reason, the religion of the deceased terrorist has not been revealed, but if we are correct in our assumption (lifetime pct .987) he is at this very moment in Paradise, being serviced by 72 virgins.

Sleepy Joe Biden, speaking to reporters from his basement in Delaware, said he felt "anger and frustration" over the attack, which would never have happened had he only been re-elected. He is said to be considering a pre-emptive posthumous pardon for the late jihadi.

VIDEO: The recording that sold 50 million copies but is never listened to

OK, it's not a video, just audio with a picture of the label. Yes, it's Bing Crosby, with a New Year's wish. 50 million copies of this recording have been purchased by music lovers all over the world.

"50 million copies", you say? How can you say it's never listened to? Simple. It's on the "B" side of "White Christmas".

Walt, Poor Len (who's busy writing his year-end review of the Montréal Canadiens), [and Ed.! Ed.] extend their best wishes to all our readers as well as the non-readers who just laugh at the memes and watch the videos. (Yes, we are aware that that happens.)

2024 Wally Awards: Worst living Canadian Prime Minister - VIDEO

Agent 3 read "2024 Wally Awards: Worst Living President" and called to remind us that since the passing, last March, of the Rt. Hon. Byron Muldoon, there is no need to ask for nominations for the captioned Award, as there is only one. For reasons which this video makes obvious, we therefore present the Wally to Little Potato, as he is called by his former 2IC.

We wish our Canadian readers and friends every success in making 2025 a truly happy New Year, by getting shut of Blackie McBlackface, and his ill-assorted coterie of minions. The Wally for the Most Rebarbative Minion goes to Steven Guilbault, pictured in the thumbnail, although it was a close thing with Chrystia Freeland.
