WARMINGTON: Greta Thunberg adds fuel to blockade fire

How dare she.


With this country’s rail system in turmoil for two weeks, the world’s most famous climate activist has thrown her support behind the #shutdownCanada movement.

And Greta Thunberg did not stop there.

The 17-year-old Swede, who visited Canada last fall, has solicited others from around the world to join in. To her four million Twitter followers, she tweeted Tuesday: “Support the Wet’suwet’en Nation and the pipeline protests happening now in Canada!

#WetsuwenStrong.”

In her tweet she even offered a link to the “Wet’suwet’en Supporter Toolkit 2020” which encourages people to “take action, come to the land, fund raise, educate, build solidarity, pressure the government” and of course “donate.”

The link Time Magazine’s Person of the Year 2019 promoted also has messaging of “revolution” and halting Canadian commerce.

“All of our supporters helped us achieve the major victory of evicting Coastal GasLink from our unceded lands. In the face of increasing RCMP threats of violence and intimidation, we asked you to keep going and you showed up,” reads a statement inside the Wet’suwet’en Supporter Toolkit.

It also states “the Wet’suwet’en have been violently invaded and ripped from our ancestral lands, sparking a revolution. Reconciliation is dead. The time is now to recognize indigenous sovereignty around the world! We are asking for folks to continue, harness the power of this catalyzing moment, create sustained action in solidarity, and #ShutDownCanada!”

Greta herself, after her meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in September, said, “He, of course, is not doing enough” to protect the environment from climate change. At that time, Trudeau agreed, saying Greta “is the voice of a generation of young people who are calling on their leaders to do more and to do better, and I’m listening.”

Interesting, since Trudeau has not been listening to court injunctions calling for the end of protests that have closed passenger and freight corridors and gas pipeline construction.

Now Greta is adding fuel to the fire.

One of the messages in the tweeted link says, “We’re seeking volunteers for the camp year-round … and “if you are indigenous and need funds to get here, please fill out the application for (a) travel grant.”

So the link in this tweet calls for the shut down of Canada, revolution, and is offering funding for it to be populated year round.

How dare she.

Remember, Greta is the same person who, about politicians who don’t do enough, said, “Put them against the wall.”

The wall she’s standing on now is with the protesters who are 500 metres from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near Belleville and at the gas link site in B.C. At the climate march in Montreal in September, with Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde and 500,000-strong participants, she vowed, “We will not be bystanders.”

Five months later and she’s lending her power to demonstrations resulting in layoffs, ships stuck outside of port, supplies that can’t be off-loaded, and communities rationing life-sustaining supplies.

It’s not surprising, since anybody who has followed Greta’s crusade understands her opposition to fossil fuel travel and capitalism. In her famous United Nations “How Dare You” speech, in addition to talking of people “dying” in a “mass extinction” while people spin “fairy tales of eternal economic growth,” she also said young people “will not let you get away with this” and “right here, right now is where we draw the line.”

Greta has dared to draw her line by backing the Canadian blockades.

I guess no one bothered to tell the uniformed deluded and very benighted climate hysteric that by supporting the blockades she is in fact denying hundreds of FN bands the supplies and services they so desperately need. I'd mention the thousands of Canadians in the same boat but she never did and never will give a shit about them. If she DARES to come back to our country I surely hope that she will be met with a wall of pro-pipeline protestors from the FN communities supporting the lines and all other Canadians who are sick to death of being preached at by some little simpleton.

All the tantrum-throwing snowflakes need to be given that designation.


That said, if we had a national leader with a spine, like Trump or the other guy that called-out Thunberg publicly, we would have at least a reason to have a shred of pride as a Cdn


AND IT IS ALL DOUG FORDS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SOME MISERABLE ASSHAT REPORTER FROM THE NATIONAL POST ACTUALLY WROTE AN ARTICLE CLAIMING THIS MESS IS THE FAULT OF FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is an article illustrating how desperate LIE-berals and their media allies are becoming as they frantically try to shift blame for the cost and consequences of the pipeline fiasco -that is the crappy capper to several decades of insanely irresponsible LIE-beral policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Specifically some ASSHAT National Post reporter has just written an article blaming Doug Ford for the native blockades!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES - according to the Asshat - all would be well if only Doug Ford would get the Ontari-owe Provincial Police to remove the Tyendinaga blockades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes- never mind that the blockades are the result of FEDERAL ACTIONS TAKEN OUT WEST!! And never mind that Tyendinaga Reserve IS ADMINISTERED BY FEDERAL INDIAN AFFAIRS MINISTRY and thus it ought to be federal RCMP that clears the Tyendinaga blockades!! And never mind that Ford HAS NO AUTHORITY TO DEAL WITHE THE ISSUES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA THAT TRIGGERED THE NATION WIDE PROTESTS!!!!!!!!!!

In related news - the Asshat reporter suggests that OPP are lazy and failing in their duty to remove the blockades - and NEVER MIND that OPP is still working with the fallout from IPPERWASH - which taught OPP very well - that politicians delight in issuing orders - but those same so called leaders become the most craven of FOLLOWERS once it comes time to assign BLAME for the unhappy fallout of issuing those orders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPP does NOT intend to be hung out to dry by craven coward LIE-berals as they were after Ipperwash - and Doug Ford does NOT INTEND to walk carelessly into a future where he is called to a court of inquiry to answer STUPID QUESTIONS about why he took it upon himself to resolve a FEDERAL ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ipperwash was the result of federal LIE-beral Jean Chretien NOT RESPONDING TO LEGITIMATE NATIVE LAND CLAIMS!! During WW2 -the LIE-beral govt of Mackenzie King took over a native reserve near Ipperwash for a military training base- apparently because the terrain looked similar to where Cdns would eventually be fighting - and LIE-berals PROMISED TO GIVE THE LAND BACK -after the war - and of course FIFTY YEARS LATER - natives were still waiting - and such is the value of a LIE-beral PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So as LIE-berals stone-walled - some bored and mostly unemployed natives decided to occupy the provincial park that was near the old base near Ipperwash - and the natives were likely PISSED at the Mike Harris govt anyway since he had recently LOWERED the welfare payments for ALL ontari-owe recipients and natives thus got LESS GOVT GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The park near Ipperwash was a very popular one and the native occupation got IMMEDIATE GOVT ATTENTION and a close guard of OPP constables!! The occupation dragged on for months - with occasional calls by Harris govt to LIE-beral prime minister Chretien and to the LIE-beral defense minister to honour the LIE-beral promises made by KING and the pleas were IGNORED- such is the value of a LIE-beral promise -even though the military base WAS NOT IN USE - LIE-berals refused to give it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The local economy was suffering as thousands of tourists who usually came to the park EVERY SUMMER - stayed away because of the occupation and eventually Harris ordered the OPP to clear the park - and because the natives had openly and repeatedly displayed their guns and indicated they would fight if cops moved in -the OPP stationed snipers at various locations -native threats were taken seriously!

As OPP moved in under cover of darkness - and the natives awoke and milled about trying to decide how best to respond - several groups of armed protestors were tracked and an OPP sniper fired at one group - and protestor Dudley George was hit and killed - and later at trial it was claimed that he was unarmed - and OPP was accused of murdering the man - even though HE WAS in the midst of an armed group that HAD A HISTORY OF BEING WILLING to shoot at cops!!!!!!!

OPP was censured and punished by the LIE-beral govt that had been elected later in Ontari-owe and which promptly launched an inquiry and imposed LEGAL CHARGES on OPP for doing its job as ordered by our elected leaders!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now we have history REPEATING ITSELF!! Ford provincial govt is facing ANOTHER NATIVE BLOCKADE that is the usual result of LIE-beral blatant HYPOCRISY and short sighted policy that ends up having far reaching and nasty consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The causes of the Tyendinaga blockade ARE FAIRLY LAID AT THE FEET OF FEDERAL LIE-berals!! The SOLUTIONS TO THE BLOCKADE are also in federal LIE-beral hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ford HAS NO AUTHORITY to resolve the issues put forward by natives across the country!! And yet some ASSHAT REPORTER THINKS FORD should send in the OPP with guns blazing to HAUL LIE-beral political fat out of the fire!!!!!!!!!!

For Ford and for other provincial politicians - their part in this national LIE-beral social and economic FARCE IS CLEAR!! Provincial leaders ARE JUST LIKE ORDINARY CDNS - THEY ARE THE UNHAPPY AUDIENCE - forced against their will to watch several decades of LIE-beral social policy UNRAVEL - at considerable expense to the Cdn public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All LIE-beral policy is FAILING - as the blockades and social unrest and rapidly mounting debts reveal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the latest news - Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are asking parliament for an EXTRA $2.1 BILLION DOLLARS to be given to natives for an array of social initiatives and the TIMING OF THIS REQUEST is suspicious -since LIE-berals are also in negotiations with natives to discuss HOW MUCH FEDERAL SUPPORT will be made later this year to SUBSIDIZE the shipping cost of food, building materials, vehicles and other heavy items into isolated native reserves!!!!

Yes- the same people who are blocking roads and railways because they despise oil and natural gas pipelines are also DEMANDING that govt SUBSIDIZE THEIR CARBON FOOT PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the most truly insane result of LIE-beral policy is that “hereditary chiefs” from western tribes have hopped onto GAS GUZZLING JET AIR PLANES - and flown down to Tyendinaga to confer with their Mohawk brethern!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The old quote is PARTLY WRONG - thus the true quote ought to be “Those whom the Gods would destroy - are first made into LIE-berals”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In other news - there is now ample evidence that natives CANNOT BE NEGOTIATED WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Native political culture simply DOES NOT PERMIT OF PRODUCING A RESOLUTION TO THIS PIPELINE MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Historical documents indicate clearly that white leaders found it very difficult to negotiate anything with natives as they DO NOT have a centralized sort of govt - thus each native reserves the right to be HIS OWN TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thus LIE-berals are trying to negotiate with a social entity that has a lot in common with The Gorgon of Greek legend- not only is her head full of nasty snakes- each head chopped off means TWO MORE GROW!!

LIE-berals HAVE AGREEMENTS with most bands and most ELECTED CHIEFS but LIE-berals have multiple heads popping up - the “hereditary chiefs” who are mostly self appointed “stewards of the land” and loudmouths claiming authority that other band members dispute - represent multiple new heads that LIE-berals cannot deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition the native Gorgon monster is growing NEW HEADS courtesy of militant others - many of whom are not even native!! To make matters more confusing - some natives who WANT those pipeline jobs - also DO NOT want to see Militant Mohawks getting shot by cops and thus although the pipelines are favoured -the same group does NOT want strong action taken to end the blockades and let them get on with the longed for jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Each govt action and each counter response produces new heads on the native Gorgon monster that was originally encouraged into life by Pierre Trudope and his Indian Affairs Minster Jean Chretien - who encouraged natives to DREAM BIG in hope that LIE-berals would shower natives with gravy in exchange for their votes!

LIE-berals paying any price to BUY native votes- and natives willing to BELIEVE LIE-beral pie-in-the-sky promises have led us here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To suggest that this mess is the fault of Doug Ford is to INSULT THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL CDNS - INCLUDING NATIVE PROTESTORS!!!!!!!!

Best thing is to ignore her completely and I suspect most average Canadians will. Unfortunately, she's the "darling" of the Left so we simply need to shut off our TV's or change channels so that she won't have the effect she's hoping for because she simply does not understand what she's doing cuz she's doing is at the behest of others. She need to go back to a school where they teach actual historical facts, reading, writing and arithmetic so that she can actually become involved in living a life she can be proud of and not be unwittingly used by others for their own ideology. Now, she's a pawn and nothing more.

More to the point railways are federally regulated. That means any blockade on a railroad is federal problem.

Wet plate photographer Shane Balkowitsch has canceled plans to put up a mural of his portrait of climate activist Greta Thunberg after locals threatened to boycott the business in the building.
Balkowitsch did a 20-minute photo shoot with the then-16-year-old Thunberg in October 2019 when she visited the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in the Dakotas.
The portraits have received quite a bit of attention, and the portrait above, titled “Standing For Us All,” was donated by the photographer to the Library of Congress.
Balkowitsch then came up with the idea of displaying it as a 7-foot-tall mural on the side of a building in downtown Bismarck, North Dakota.
Balkowitsch proposed putting a 7-foot-tall mural of his photo on the side of this building in downtown Bismarck. Photo by Google Street View.
The mural’s proposed appearance and dimensions on the brick wall. Image via KFYR-TV.
Even though the project would have been funded by Balkowitsch himself, it seems many residents weren’t fond of the idea.
After securing permission from the building’s owner and bakery tenant as well as an approval recommendation from the city planning staff, Balkowitsch got the idea featured by local news station KFYR-TV.
The station also shared the story on its Facebook page, but that’s when things started getting contentious.
The Facebook post was soon flooded by North Dakotans expressing displeasure about the planned mural. Most of the 1,200 comments published thus far seem to be critical of the idea.
Other comments mentioned boycotting the business, Brick Oven Bakery, or vandalizing the mural once it was put up. Unwilling to put the business at risk for the mural, Balkowitsch and the bakery quickly withdrew their mural application.
The photographer says that the mural was more about art and history than politics.
“There was no motivation other than install a very important piece of history that was captured here in North Dakota, in Bismarck — but I guess Bismarck doesn’t want it,” Balkowitsch tells The Bismarck Tribune. “I feel for the bakery. I can’t have some business being threatened for my work.
“It’s a picture of a 17-year-old girl; that’s all it is to me. Her message and stuff, that’s her message. As an artist, it’s my duty to capture the history surrounding her, and the fact that she came to North Dakota, and the reservation down at Standing Rock.”

You will love the comments...

"The photographer says that the mural was more about art and history than politics." Give me a break. Is the guy politically naive? Does he not realize the fact that this young woman is nothing but a political puppet.

You were right, Doug, the comments were great.
