Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw

The Rolling Stone is reporting that "The Fast & Furious franchise just added one more action-packed movie to its lineup. Universal released the trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw on Thursday, starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the federal agent/mercenary duo. After the events of the previous film, The Fate of the Furious, that put Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw at odds with each other, the two must now join forces to stop Brixton Lore, an ex-MI6 agent and international terrorist played by Idris Elba."

Brixton lore? Yo give it up for Brixton. When I worked in London before I had kids I lived in Brixton right behind the Front Line. I did some boxing with the Caribbean brothers at the Brixton rec centre. That place is awesome. Idris Elba is rock solid. He portrays himself as the black superman in the movie. The whole thing looks epic. It's due to be released in August.



The Fast and Furious series was stellar. The last one sucked but that was no fault of the actors, it was just a bad script. The action was great. Nobody wanted to see Vin Diesel turn on his crew and act like a dick. Sure he was being blackmailed but it just wasn't right. Then there were rumors of him beefing with Dwayne Johnson. Everybody likes Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is very hard working. Seemingly there will be a Fast 9 and Dwayne Johnson might not be in it. Too bad.

Vin Diesel's a good guy. He was chilling with Nicky Jam down in Colombia. He announced a female led version of Fast 9. Let's hope it empowers women and doesn't turn out to be an harem of Vin Diesel groupies. Jason Statham is also rock solid. He has been a stalwart member of the Expendables with Stalone. Hobbs & Shaw looks great.

Vancouver supports Montreal's Mayor

There has always been a kinship between Vancouver and Quebec, especially Montreal. It goes back to the Postal Strike of 1965. CBC is reporting that "Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has been the target of an escalating series of violent threats, apparently sparked by her staunch opposition to the provincial government's secularism bill." I support Valérie Plante, Quebec's Joan of Arc.

"Bill 21, which, if passed, will prohibit public school teachers, police officers and judges, among other civil servants, from wearing religious symbols." OK let's do the math. It's not called the religious freedom bill it's called the secularism bill. Toronto opposes the bill but Communist China supports it. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why.

Historically the French Revolution was a model for a free republic. The motto of the revolution was Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The secularism bill bans people from wearing religious symbols - teachers. There are a lot of Catholic schools in Quebec. At those schools priest and nuns are teachers. This bill would ban priests from wearing collars and nuns from wearing their head pieces at public schools. That is why communist China endorses it - it opposes a free republic.

Here in Surrey, many Punjabi police officers wear turbans. No one cares. That is their right. Banning religious clothing is a step back into the dark ages which created the need for the French Revolution. Vancouver and Toronto certainly don't dictate what Quebec does. I'm just saying that bill 21 isn't very French. It's communist. That's why China endorses it.

Quebec doesn't want Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen

CBC is reporting that "Quebec doesn't want another pipeline, François Legault tells Jason Kenney." Quebec is fine with Natural Gas but not Tar Sands bitumen. So lets do a count, Chicago doesn't want Alberta Tars Sands Bitumen, neither does Detroit, BC or Quebec. Mike Smyth is still a lying POS. It's not John Horgan against the world it's Jason Kenny against the world. Hitler tried it once but it didn't work out for him. Tar sands bitumen is not ethical.

Here's a present for Jason Kenney from Surrey with Love:



Yo Brokeback Mountain, how many bullets you got?

Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

160 kilograms of cannabis seized in Ontario

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Police say they found more than 160 kilograms of cannabis after a routine traffic stop in Markham, Ont. York Regional Police say an officer stopped a white van early on Tuesday morning. They say that while the officer was speaking with the driver and passenger, they noticed multiple duffel bags throughout the van. Police say that the bags contained 163 kilos of marijuana. They say two Quebec men have been charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.'

Oh but wait a minute, cannabis is legal now. What gives them the right to seize it? "Police Chief Eric Jolliffe says the illegally produced cannabis likely would have gone to the black market, which fuels organized crime." There is no such thing as illegally produced cannabis. There's just cannabis production without a license. This is not what taxpayers want the police to focus on and taxpayers pay the police's salary.

Aside from the fact that the search was a violation of their Charter Right because there was no just cause for the search, it is also a conflict of interest. Andy Richard's pot company has a retired cop from Ontario in it selling cop pot there. The Hells Angels have just as much a right to sell pot now as the police do.

Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

Not surprisingly, Jason Kenney's new Conservative party just won the election in Alberta. Four days ago I would have celebrated that victory with him. Now our relationship is dead in the water. Nevertheless, the boldness of the lies coming out of Alberta need to be addressed so we can both go our separate ways and get on with our separate lives.

Last election Alberta made history by electing a NDP government. What happened? There was an economic downturn and the ruling Conservatives planned strict austerity measures which the voters rejected. So what caused the economic downturn in the oil rich province?

Was it BC's fault? Not at all. BC had approved an oil pipeline from Alberta years ago and was shipping that oil to China out of the Port of Vancouver as per normal. Nothing had changed. So what did change? Wait 'till I tell ye. Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Alberta Tar Sands bitumen. That was the only change. That had absolutely nothing to do with John Horgan or BC.



The reason why Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen was because of the mountains of petroleum coke byproduct that was left behind from refining it. They finally got rid of the toxic mountains by shipping it off to India. Only India won't take it any more because it is more toxic to burn than regular coal. That was the change that casued the econimic downturn in Alberta. It had absolutely nothing to do with BC or John Horgan so stop lying and say it did.



After Raging Rachel was elected there was another downturn. The price of oil dropped. That was not John Hogans fault nor was it BC's fault. BC was getting completely f*cked over because while the price of oil dropped the price of gas in Metro Vancouver skyrocketed. BC has a right to complain about that fraud. This is the Irish potato famine all over again.

There were windmills set up in Ireland during the potato famine. Grain was sent to England while the rest of the country starved. That's what's happening right now in BC. We are shipping oil out of the port of Vancouver to China while we are getting completely screwed over at the pumps. BC has a right to complain about that fact especially since Justin Trudeau bought the pipeline with tax dollars. BC is now a shareholder in the pipeline.

The drop in the price of oil and the fact that Chicago and Detroit stopped accepting Tar Sands Bitumen is not our fault. Raging Rachel stepped up to the plate and tried to enforce her dinosaur trade union tactics on us. BC was actually considering twinning the pipeline for Tar Sands bitumen through our already busy port.

John Horgan simply asked what happens if tanker traffic becomes too much for our port to handle? How do we restrict the flow of bitumen through our port? Raging Rachel insisted that we have absolutely no say whatsoever on the amount of bitumen shipped through BC if tanker traffic becomes too congested. That is not fair. We need to have a say in the flow of bitumen. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane.

John Horgan then asked what happens if there is an oil spill? Raging Rachel said that's not Alberta's problem. If there is a spill you pay for clean up. We don't pay a dime. That is unrealistic. If there is a spill we share clean up costs. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane. Raging Rachel's greed killed the deal.

Now after Jason Kenney showed his true colours the deal is dead in the water. His threat to turn off the tap at will and thereby create complete chaos for no reason whatsoever clearly shows the need for BC to be protected from that future threat in any conceivable trade agreement. Signing an agreement without that provision would be insane.

Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta by spending $4.5 billion tax dollars to purchase the pipeline after Kinder Morgan decided to pull out. Enough is never enough for those spoiled brats. They are still trashing him to the grave and beyond. Justin Trudeau needs to see that and earn back BC's trust by using some of the oil from OUR pipeline for domestic consumption.



If Alberta refined the Tar Sands Bitumen at source they could use the existing pipeline to Vancouver and export more oil to China. We are not stopping them from doing that. That would require less ships because it would be already refined. If Alberta refined the Tar Sands Bitumen at source they could use the existing pipeline to Chicago and Detroit. There is no need to build yet another pipeline for unrefined bitumen.

Alberta has destroyed their business relationship with Chicago, Detroit and now Vancouver. Now their only hope is the Keystone pipeline to Texas. Don't burn that bridge too. You launched a trade war with BC and a trade war with Quebec. Nobody wants to do business with you any more. That's your fault. Own it. Stop blaming everyone else for your problems. Nobody likes a liar or a bully. Alberta has become both.

If you're hungry and out of work in Alberta you can always move to Kitimat. They're hiring. Green Justice supports LGN. Natural Gas is clean burning, thermal coal and petroleum coke is not. Protecting the environment is Right Wing just like balancing the budget and avoiding unnecessary debt. Protecting the environment is protecting the economy for our children.

Jason Kenney is just another brick in the wall. This isn't saber rattling or a pissing contest. Our relationship with Alberta is over. I don't want anything to do with you any more. From now on, stay on your side of the wall and don't read my blog. I don't want your business.

Quebec doesn't want Alberta Tar Sands Bitumen either.

Here's a present for Jason Kenney from Surrey with Love:



Yo Brokeback Mountain, how many bullets you got?

Fatal shooting in Vancouver

CBC is reporting that "Vancouver Police are investigating after a man was shot dead around West 4th Avenue and Burrard Street at around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday night. The victim died at the scene. Police said in a written statement the shooting appears to be targeted."

Four dead after shooting in Penticton

The Canadian Press is reporting that "The RCMP say four people were found dead Monday in three locations after targeted shootings within a five-kilometre radius in Penticton, B.C. Supt. Ted De Jager said a man turned himself in at the city's police headquarters and officers were searching his car. "We're still trying to find the motive for this whole incident, so that's part of the ongoing investigation," he told a news conference.

The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that "South Okanagan-Similkameen Supt. Ted De Jager said emergency services were called at 10:30 a.m. with reports of a shooting outside a home in the downtown area. As police raced to the scene, they received another call, this time from callers in the south part of the city of 34,000, saying more shots had been fired.

When police went to that residential scene, on the 2400-block of Cornwall Drive, they found three people dead in two neighbouring locations. All shootings were within a five-kilometre radius. De Jager said that at 11:30 a.m. a 60-year-old man turned himself in at the city’s RCMP detachment and remained in custody, with homicide charges pending. The four victims — two men and two women — and the person who turned themselves in were all known to each other.

CBC is reporting that "A retired city worker is facing multiple murder charges after a shooting spree left four people dead in the city of Penticton, B.C., on Monday. John Brittain, 68, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder."

Fatal shooting at Salmon Arm church

Global is reporting that "Police confirm one man is in custody after a “possible shooting” Sunday morning at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ near the Trans-Canada Highway in the Shuswap. Cpl. Chris Manseau says the area is contained and there is no indication of an active or ongoing threat as officers investigate a “serious incident.” BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) says two patients were involved in the incident at the church. One person was transported to hospital via air ambulance. The condition of both patients is unknown."

CBC is reporting that "One man is dead after a shooting at a small church in Salmon Arm, B.C., on Sunday, and police have a suspect in custody. Family members have confirmed that the victim is Gordon Parmenter, an elder at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ. B.C. Emergency Health Services confirmed one person was airlifted to hospital after receiving a call just after 10:30 a.m. about the incident, and a second person was also injured."

CBC is reporting that "A suspect has been charged in relation to a shooting that left one dead and another injured at a small, close-knit church in Salmon Arm, B.C. Matrix Savage Gathergood, 25, has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault and disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence in connection with the Sunday morning shooting. He is being held in custody and is set to appear in court on Tuesday."

Global is reporting that "The senior who lost his life in a shooting at the Church of Christ in Salmon Arm B.C., was also the recent victim of a suspicious fire that destroyed his home. On Sunday, 78-year-old Gordon Parmenter was gunned down during Sunday morning service in the small Shuswap community in the B.C. interior."

Jason Kenney can go f*ck himself

Global is reporting that " With just three days to go before Alberta goes to the polls, United Conservative Leader (UCP) Jason Kenney is ramping up his threats towards B.C. At a campaign rally in Edmonton Friday night, Kenney renewed his pledge to "turn off the taps" of gasoline "within an hour" of being sworn in as premier."

Alberta greed is off the hook. We have a port they have oil. Cut off the tap and no more oil goes out of our port anywhere. Go f*ck yourself you selfish POS. You can't keep f*cking people over forever. Eventually they are going to fight back. You don't care about the rest of Canada or the rest of the planet for that matter. You only care about yourselves. You live a very selfish life.

Jason Kenney is Satan. There is no religion in him.

Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley have persuaded me to become a Trump supporter in a nonsense. Canada needs a wall - between BC and Alberta. We'll take Banff and Lake Louise and you can have the rest of Alberta all to yourselves. You can airlift your oil to China.



Exposing Alberta's lies once and for all

Double homicide in Winnipeg

CBC is reporting that "Victims of a double homicide in downtown Winnipeg earlier this week were members of the same street gang, and shot and killed each other, police say. Anthony Brian Cromastey, 30, and Rodney Albert Kirton, 25, died after opening fire on each other inside Johnny G's, a popular late-night restaurant and pub on Main Street, around 1:30 a.m. CT Wednesday."

"The investigation has determined the deceased males died as a result of simultaneous gunshots to each other," said a Winnipeg police spokesperson, Const. Rob Carver, on Friday. Carver said both handguns have been recovered. Investigators used surveillance video and witness accounts to conclude guns were fired at the same time, said Carver. "So the two individuals were basically in a gunfight in a public restaurant and shot each other fatally on the spot," he said.

This incident happened last February but I just fund out about it. Anthony Cromastey had a previous crack cocaine trafficking charge associated with the Mad Cows who appear to be in a turf war with the Manitoba Warriors. The MW are HA rivals so do the math. Shane Edward Kirton was a full patch Winnipeg Hells Angel. I'm not sure if he is related to Rodney Albert Kirton. Lots of gang violence in Winnipeg still.
