Deplorable Row
The first six hitters of the 1927 New York Yankees were called murders row. That lineup included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. They murdered the opposition with their prowess.
The lineup posted above are killing off the Republican Party. There is always an October surprise before election time in November. We all remember Jim Comey and Hillary Clinton back in 2016.
Well, this time, while it has been a long time coming, the deplorable Republican Party led by these deplorables are coming home to roost. This is the 2026 midterm October surprise.
Tarnished by the Epstein scandal, Trump and Vance are supporting the deplorable Vivek ad. This issue is not going away because they’re keeping it alive. Trump, last night, in Iowa actually said that Vivek should thank God above for running the ad. Why lightning did not strike I do not know. If you haven’t seen the video of him saying that you should. Because him saying it was deplorable enough. What was more deplorable was the audience of deplorables laughing in agreement with Trump. Hillary Clinton was right. Trump’s MAGA supporters are deplorables.
Once again, I am so freaking glad I am Canadian

Scum
This one really turns my stomach. Candidates running for the governorship of Ohio. Amy Acton, Democrat, on the left, and Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican, on the right
Vivek ran an ad featuring Acton’s mother, calling her daughter, a liar, and telling Ohioans not to vote for her. It turns out that Amy Acton has not spoken to her mother in 48 years. Amy’s mother had lost custody of 12-year-old Amy and her nine-year-old brother after the man Amy’s mother was married to was accused of raping, Amy. To avoid grand jury indictment, Amy’s mother and her husband fled the state. Amy suffered a history of abuse from her mother and the man her mother was married to.
Democrats and Republicans alike have attacked Vivek for releasing the ad. Vivid has doubled down by allocating $4 million to keep the add running.
Is your stomach turned yet? It gets worse, far worse. JD Vance, the vice president of the United States attacked Republicans for whining about the release of the ad. He said he was disgusted at all the whining by the Republicans. You need to throw up yet?
Donald Trump, the president of the US, of course says he doesn’t know anything about the ad, his favourite go to line. He then says it’s very strange for a mother to hate her daughter like that, but it has nothing to do with Vivek.
This was a hard one to chirp about. The November 3 midterms cannot come soon enough.
I am so glad I am Canadian today

The Wrath Of Rath
This is Jeffrey Rath. He is one of the prominent voices of the Alberta separates movement. He is not a happy camper today. He is focussing his wrath on Danielle Smith.
“It’s time to have a serious discussion as to whether or not a supermajority of the United Conservative Party of Alberta want to continue to be led by a Federalist (in Smith) who’s in bed with Naheed Nensi, Mark Carney, Rachel Notley and the rest of the socialists and globalists that have literally been ruining this province and ruining this country.”
This guy is angry. It is a well-known fact that Danielle Smith’s UCP party is comprised of a number of members who support separation. Rath made this very clear in an interview, yesterday, when he stated that Smith recruited a number of UCP members from the WEXIT ,(western exit) party/movement, from WEXIT membership lists.
Rath is upset that Smith came to power because of her separatist base and she betrayed that base by supporting the stay in Canada side. He wants to call a general meeting of the UCP, next month, to review Smith’s leadership and eventually get her kicked out. He had a prominent role in getting Jason Kenney kicked out as premier and as leader of the UCP.
So the vote is over, but it looks like the soap opera is just beginning. This could become very messy for Danielle and her current party. If Jeffrey Rath is frustrated in his attempt to remove Danielle Smith, as leader of the UCP, he could very well set up his own separatist party, which, in turn, would gut the UCP.

Yes Canada No Trump
It is still the early hours of October 20. Just a few hours after the polls closed in Alberta’s referendum.
Albertans have made a definite statement that they do want to stay in Canada. Approximately 3/4 of voters have voted to stay.
Donald Trump’s desire of making Canada a 51st state, took a severe blow, last night. The Trump administration has always looked at Alberta as the weakest link as the gateway to turning Canada into a 51st state. In their view, Alberta was the gateway to turning Canada into a 51st state. Yet Albertans strongly blew away that opening.
At the same time, Alberta has sent a strong message to Ottawa that we are not happy with the way things are going on issues such as immigration. Although the results are just trickling in, it looks like the other questions, especially in the area of immigration, may have a yes vote majority.
Danielle Smith might skate through this relatively unscathed. If there are a majority of yes votes in the remaining nine questions. She will be able to say that her approach is working. Ottawa has to start coming to the negotiation table. This is the best result she could have hoped for. We all will have a clearer picture tomorrow.

Stronger Together
Finally, voting day is here in Alberta. Total results probably won’t be known for a couple more days. Officials will be counting the stay in Canada vote first followed by the remaining nine questions. It is estimated that the final tally for the stay in Canada vote will not be known until tomorrow morning. But given what the polling is showing, the results should come clear by late tonight with a strong vote, not to have a second referendum
Any cliffhangers will be with remaining nine questions. Given an association with a stay in Canada vote there is a possibility that the remaining nine questions might all be answered no which would be a significant blow to Danielle Smith and her future as leader of the UCP party and premier of Alberta. Her favourability ratings have sunk down to such a point that Mark Carney is more popular in Alberta than Danielle Smith
To any Albertans who have not voted yet get out and do so. Exercise your democratic, right.

Referendum Day
Tomorrow is referendum day here in Alberta. 10 questions will be voted on, including whether Alberta wants to stay in Canada or have another referendum to leave Canada
This vote will cost Alberta’s at least $90 million. All the ballots will be hand counted. If 2 million Albertans vote, that means that 20 million ballots will have to be counted.
Enthusiasm in the stay in Canada crowd is extremely high. The image above was a rally from a rally in Edmonton on Friday night. There was a similar rally in Calgary, the night before.
Mark Carney gave the Keynote speech at both events. Both locations were packed to the rafters with cheers throughout his speech.
Enthusiasm for the separatist seems to be diminishing. There was a rally held at the Alberta legislature yesterday, which was, to put it kindly, sparsely attended.
Danielle Smith is in a no win situation. Her UCP party has a large number of separatist supporters. Yet, Smith has voted to stay in Canada. Her other nine questions that she put on the ballot could quite possibly be voted down. It is quite likely that after tomorrow, the UCP party will be torn apart with a huge chunk forming a separate party.
For those Albertans who have not yet voted by way of the mail in ballot or advanced voting, make sure to get out and vote tomorrow.

Despicable
Canada used to be America’s strongest ally and partner. We are no longer that.
Russia used to be America’s biggest enemy. Trump is starting to turn Russia into America’s biggest ally.
My parents after the end of World War II, came to Canada rather than live under the Russian boot in Poland. They knew what it would be like to live under a Russian dictatorship. Russia has a dictator now in Putin.
Trump is selling out Ukraine to Putin and Russia. He has lifted the sanction on Russian diesel fuel exports. Monies that Russia will make from the selling of diesel fuel will be used for weapons against Ukraine and ironically to support Iran.
Trump‘s ally, Elon Musk, has disrupted his Starlink system services to Ukraine, hindering big-time Ukraine’s war effort against Russia and creating additional vulnerabilities to Ukrainian citizens
Trump has frozen sanctions on Russia, previously approved by both the Republican lead house and Senate. They were to take affect this week.
Trump has called Zelenskyy, the most difficult man to negotiate with and that he should be kicked out of office. He says that Zelenskyy is even harder to negotiate with than Putin.
Ukraine has also run out of patriot missiles to defend themselves. It is questionable as to whether the US will supply anymore or the US will block other countries from providing such missiles to Ukraine.
The midterms can’t come soon enough

Carney In Calgary
Alberta referendum day is next Monday. Mark Carney is in Alberta this week. He was in Calgary last night. He will be in Edmonton tonight.
He gave an impassioned speech to a standing room crowd in Calgary last night. The loudest cheer of the night was when he was talking about the pipeline to the Pacific reducing dependency on the US. The crowd went wild. He tried to subdue the crowd by saying ‘careful, careful careful’. After a few moments, the crowd calmed down. And he then said careful the US might look at this as election interference. Another loud cheer.
Supporting unity and mocking Trump at the same time. Albertans will vote to stay in Canada next Monday. The only question there is by how big a majority will the difference be?
As to the other nine questions in the referendum, those voting to stay in Canada may most likely vote to say no to the other nine questions which will be a major blow to Danielle Smith. The biggest loser in all this will definitely be Danielle Smith.
The biggest winners will be Alberta in Canada
Elbows up and Canada strong.

More 51st State Crap
Donald Trump was at it again last night. Pouring out more 51st state bull crap in a rally in Bullhead city, Arizona.
“They’ll end up being the 51st state because it’s the only way it works.”
Donald, I thought you were done with this garbage but I guess not. He made this statement on the same day that US ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, warned Canada not to get involved in the midterm elections coming up. Sure Pete, just like the way the US isn’t funding the separatist vote in Alberta. Give us a freaking break, Pete.
Trump then went to list a long line of grievances saying that we have treated the US badly for years. . Oh, woe is us. All you’re doing Donald is digging a deeper grave for yourself in your midterms. You might not know it, but you’re voting public does. We are much better friend to you than anyone else in the world, including Russia. What you’re doing with Russia right now is insane but that’s another chirp.
So, Donald, you can stuff it with that crap. We will never ever ever be your 51st state. End of story.
Elbows up and Canada strong.

Referendum Daze
A couple of Major votes in the next few weeks. One in the US and one in Canada.
How bad is it for Donald Trump and the midterms? He is only campaigning in red states, playing defence. He went north to Alaska, yesterday, to campaign for Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. There is also a second Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Trump’s rallies have a bunch of empty seats in them. One republican congressional candidate in Maryland got laughed out of a Townhall session, yesterday, when he said that the high diesel prices were due to democrat regulations. He was not a happy camper.
Here, in Canada, a vote will be held on October 19 with nine questions and one option on the ballot. The option question relates to whether Alberta wants to separate from Canada or not. I say ‘relate’ because the option question is really about whether there should be a second vote. I’m not going to go into details. Only in Alberta.
There is much enthusiasm for this vote. Over 600,000 mail in ballots were requested and submitted. Yesterday was the first day of advanced poll voting. Some polling stations reported lineups with waiting times of two hours or longer
Social media is awash with comments on the vote, with a majority of the comments, favouring Alberta staying in Canada. This is not good news for the separatist at all. There was a major drop off in separatist comments, on Monday, following Ukraine’s bombing of Russian data centres on Sunday. The theory is that many of the separatist comments were actually bots. Surprisingly, there are a lot of jokes on the Internet right now about how many men lost online girlfriends Monday morning as well.
I, for one, am very much looking forward to the October 19 vote here in Alberta and the midterm vote in the US in November. I think a lot of conservatives are going to have a very depressing upcoming month.
That being said, if you have not voted already, get out and do so
