Canada's Anthem
If they are going to make the national anthem gender neutral to appease women then while they are at it they need to remove the references to God to appease those of as that have evolved passed the neurotic belief in ancient fairy tales.

Neo Nazi Parents Lose Kids
Aticle
I think this is just peachy. Why is it OK for society to remove this couple's children? Because society doesn't agree with the parents' beliefs? Last I checked we still had a right to our beliefs in this country. Are the parent's beliefs "harmful" to the children? Are the parent's beliefs any more harmful to the children than those taught in Islam or Christianity? If we called Naziism a religion would it be then OK for the parents to keep their children? Please. I shake my head at the complete lack of logical thought with matters like this.
Naziism is evil and promotes hatred, but Islam is good - right? Islam sure doesn't promote hatred now does it? No, not Islam, never! After all, Islam is the Religion of Peace. I wish society would get over this political correctness and view things for how they really are. Does the vile filth promoted by Islam really differ from those of any other hate group simply because we call Islam a religion? Does the word 'religion' make the hatred and violence towards women, gays, and non-believers acceptable under the pathetic excuse called 'religious rights'? Not a fat chance in my books. Hate is hate no matter what you call it.
Would you let your children read something with this warning label on it? Of course you wouldn't. The funny thing about this label is that it was a proposed warning label for the Holy Bible and don't tell me it isn't dead on accurate.

More Wasteful Government Spending
Article
Just one of the hundreds of reasons why this country is running a deficit and our taxes are so high. I am quite sure our government officials can drive themselves to their meetings.
I am also curious how much money is costs the government to give me the $200 child tax credit. I can imagine producing the cheques, tracking the info, etc. costs an additional chunk of change on top of the $200. Here's a novel idea: how about not taking the $200 from me in the first place. It costs the government nothing if they just let me keep my money. I think the idea of me being taxed $230 (for example) just to get $200 back is pretty asinine, but then again, this is the type of thing governments seem to do and can't figure out why they run deficits.

Banning Criticism of Islam
Article
What's next? Muslims trying to ban other religions? That notion is probably not too far from their sights since we all know how tolerant Islam is towards other religions and non believers. If the UN gives in to this heinous attack on free speech the flood gates will be open for these people to demand all sorts of things in the name of their religion.
Remembrance day just passed and I can't fathom how the veterans feel about this sort of thing. These guys fought and died so that I may make fun of what ever religion I want and for now at least it is my right to do so. Muslims continue to exploit our beliefs on rights and freedoms to drive their own twisted agenda and by doing so pull the rug right out from under us.
We allow them to speak and have their say, allow them special status, and every time we do so we lose a little more of our freedom while Islam moves one step closer to its goal of world domination and stamping out our way of life. Wake up and smell the coffee Western World. Take your politically correct blinders off and see what is happening.
This draconian proposal should be a deep insult to every free and modern thinking person living on this planet. Perhaps we should burn down a mosque or two? Riot in the streets perhaps? After all, when Muslims are insulted oh say by naming a teddy bear Mohammed, they cry death to all and riot in the streets why shouldn't we react in kind? Oh, yes, we are modern and civilized - I almost forgot - my apologies. Lest we wish to give up beer and have all women in Halloween costumes year round I suggest we speak up against these blatant attacks against our way of life.

Bad Immigrants!
Article
Well...good to see we still have some politicians with half a working brain. I am a little surprised that the pamphlet uses the word "barbaric" to describe a religious practice - which is exactly what it is, however, I would expect an abundance of Muslims crying foul over that word and demand it be changed to something more politically correct and Muslim friendly. We can't make them upset now can we? We've all seen the rioting and violence Muslims like to dole out at the slightest affront to their version of the Great Fairy Tale. Though the article doesn't mention Islam, we can all read between the lines even if some of us are too politically correct to admit it.

The Federal Liberals
are like herpes - they are not wanted and they just do not go away! Ignatieff, give up your pathetic and repulsive, self-serving interests. Canadians do not want an election in the middle of this economic mess. You and your party disgust me to no end.

Brutal Senior Beating
Article
Come on people! They made an arrest in the outrageous beating of a Calgary senior. Nice. Great. I can rest at night now. Please, a lot of good that will do. One of the women, Renee Nicole Lemire, 21, of Turner Valley, had already been arrested for various crimes and was on probation when she brutally beat this lady. She was on probation! Ooh...how effective. Now a 92 year old woman lays in a hospital bed recovering from surgery all so Ms. Lemire can have her freedom and a second or tenth chance. Are you (pardon my French) fucking kidding me?
What deranged mind thought up the laws that allow for this innocent woman do be beaten at the expense of someone else's freedom? Especially after that person has already been arrested and convicted of other crimes. When are we going to stop pandering to the god-damned criminals? I live in Black Diamond, right next door to Turner Valley, and have half a mind to mosey on over there when this rank cow gets released and beat her senseless. Let's see how she likes to spend a few months recovering in hospital - if she does.
Ya, now you can throw me in jail for uttering threats against a low life, waste of skin - that seems to be the proper way of doing things around here. I know, I know - two wrongs don't make a right. Beating Ms. Lemire won't solve anything. Blah, blah, blah. Our current method of letting people like her out to victimize more innocent people is working so much better. Ya, let's stick with the status quo and hope it isn't our family member who ends up being the next victim of these troglodytes.

Conflict of Interest
Here's a question: why do we allow lawyers to become politicians to make the laws that they and their ilk will eventually practice? I challenge the Wild Rose Alliance to recognize this blatant conflict of interest and ban lawyers from being able to run for office. Lawyers should practice law - not make it.

Canada Should be Ashamed
Article
I have always said that Canada's WWII vets should never want for anything. What these people did for the world is nothing short of incredible. I often shake my head at the fuss we make over a handful of soldiers that get killed in this "War on Terror" joke. These guys are having a cake walk compared to the almost forgotten soldiers of the worst war in history. The way Canada treats its WWII vets makes me sick - we should be ashamed - we should demand better. If it weren't for them I'd be writing this in German right now, come to think of it, I wouldn't be writing this at all!
We will more than likely never again know the brutal horrors that those men and women faced. The deplorable conditions they lived, fought and died in. Every last one of them should be living in peace and comfort right now, not fretting because they are being forced to move from their families to live out their final days. Our MPs make disgusting amounts of money, not to mention the other fraudulent sources of income and expense tricks I am sure many of them are involved in, and we treat our vets as if they are worthless bums. Way to go Canada.

To Sue Those That Would Save You
Article
What has this country come to? Does personal responsibility no longer exist? Where does this gross sense of entitlement come from? The link above is about a well publicised event that happened last winter whereby two grown adults made a choice of their own free will to ski in an area out of bounds and it was clearly marked as such might add.
They got themselves lost and during several days of being lost the man's wife died from he elements before finally being rescued. Now clearly this is everyone else's fault except for the two boneheads that decided to ignore the warnings and get themselves lost. I have yet to read anywhere in this politically correct country that calls this guy out and puts the blame squarely where it needs to be - Mr. Blackburn's shoulders. Poor Mr. Blackburn, woe is him, that poor man. Please. So now the lone survivor is suing everyone for failing to rescue his sorry ass in time to save his wife.
BC rescue teams are closing up shop because they do not have the insurance to deal with lawsuits from selfish, ignorant people like this guy. Look, Mr. Blackburn and people like you, you have absolutely no one to blame for your situation but yourself. How dare you sue the people that rescued you from your own stupidity? Having said that, it makes some sense to me as to why you are suing - stupidity.
You people need to accept responsibility for your actions and stop blaming everyone else and standing there with your hand out for some sort of 'owed' compensation. The good people of the Golden rescue team or anyone else for that matter does not need to put their lives at risk to save morons like you from your own bad choices.
This country needs to stop pandering to the likes of Mr. Blackburn and entertaining these sorts of lawsuits. Politicians jumping through hoops to make laws and spend tax dollars trying to save every last fool in this country from themselves is a gross waste of time and resources. If you are dumb enough to ignore clearly posted warning signs and get yourself into trouble then you can and should deal with the ramifications of your decisions - why is it society's fault and responsibility? Natural selction works for every other species on this planet, perhaps it is time humans give it a try.

Hey, Mr.Ignatieff!
The last poll I saw regarding the feelings of Canadians, you know, those people whom you are supposed to serve, about a summer election was 78% opposed to the idea. Do you think you and the other self-serving boneheads in that circus we call Parliament could for once listen to the people who pay your outrageous salaries, perks, and pensions and not force an election this year? Like any of you have a track record better than the PCs with governing this country. Give it a rest already. You are all incompetent, self-serving, thieves and liars and I for one do not feel like swapping one batch of you for another just yet.
Go Back Home Tamils
This was sent to me via email and although I said pretty much the very same thing a month ago I couldn't agree more. I love how these people come to live in what is arguably the best country on the planet and they disrupt our ways of life demanding that we fix the problems they left in their 'homeland'. You know what, Tamils, I'd love to see you go back to your home - please, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
I am completely pissed with this disruption by less than 3% of a city's population and every one a foreigner wanting the country they adopted to solve the problems of the country they left.
Round up every Tamil protester, provide transportation and send them back to "help out." Sort out your own mess. Don't blame the country you chose to live in because that country will not devote massive resources to your cause.
Go back home and speak out there against the atrocities that you see happening and help fight it from there. Sacrifice yourself, your sons, your daughters and your wealth, as little or as much as that might be. Put your money where your mouth is not our money and our families where your mouth is!!
Our ancestors stood up to carve out a way of living that we enjoy today. They did not go to your country, accept your hospitality then disrupt your way of life & demand you fix the injustices that they themselves would not address.
Accept responsibility for allowing your country to fall into the chaotic state it is in today!! Don't shirk your own part and think we will arbitrarily shoulder your social debts.
I will vote for any politician/political party with the gonads to stand up and put a stop to this foolishness.

A Letter to Mr. Harper
This was sent to me via email and I thought it was a rather good idea, albeit a little far fetched. I am not sure the Canadian government has $20,000,000,000,000 to hand out. That's 20 trillion for those that can't fathom all those zeros ;-)
Dear Mr. Harper,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing Canada's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks and car companies, that will squander
the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan:
There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new Canadian CAR. Twenty million cars ordered -
Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing
Crisis fixed.
4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime
rate fixed
5) Buy $50 of alcohol / tobacco / petrol a week... there's your money
back in duty / tax etc
It can't get any easier than that!

An Alternative?
Wild Rose Alliance
I didn't even know these guys existed until I read a book recently called Alberta: Separatism Then and Now. An insightful book and I highly recommend reading it for those of you interested in how brutally Alberta has been treated as part of Canada.
The book mentioned the Wild Rose Alliance so I thought I'd mosey on over to the site and check it out. They have some nice things to say and it is a refreshing change from the current crap we have and I am referring to Stelmach and the rest of the morons in the Legislature. However, I am so jaded by politicians how do we know these guys are going to be any different from the self-serving and greedy lot that we already deal with? I am very skeptical.
Stephen Harper used to be very pro-Alberta. In fact, here are some quotes by Stephen Harper from Alberta: Separatism Then and Now:
"In the stale air of politics, what Canada really requires is the sweeping winds of change. This will challenge the vested interests of the National Policy, the Welfare State, and the Quebec question, and they will resist. In the end, however, these groups will have to cast aside their narrow definitions of Canada - the country they claim to love - because that country can no longer be built on the economic exploitation and political disenfranchisement of western Canada. In the meantime, we require a political party to put pursuit of the West's agenda at the top of the list. This must be a party willing to end central control and special interest politics in its own ranks."
"the government in Ottawa will be tempted to take advantage of Alberta's prosperity, to redistribute income from Alberta to residents of other provinces in order to keep itself in power. It is imperative to take the initiative, to build firewalls around Alberta, to limit the extent to which an aggressive and hostile federal government can encroach upon legitimate provincial jurisdiction."
Well, Mr. Harper...funny how you abandoned these thoughts only to keep your sorry ass in power and this is exactly what worries me about any and every politician and the point of sharing the quotes. Stephen Harper also helped get this going. Pround Albertan my ass. Self-serving politician is more fitting. These people say one thing, get elected, and then start running their own show. Is the Wild Rose Alliance any different? Based on the past track record of politicians and their parties, I am going to say no.
I don't vote provincially because we always go PC out here, but I will now be throwing a vote behind the Wild Rose Alliance from now on, for at least on paper, they offer a hell of a lot more than the PC's when it comes to looking out for the interests of Alberta. If they were to lead this province perhaps things will get a little better for Alberta in this mess of a country we call Canada, but I am not banking on it, afterall, they are politicians too.
I didn't even know these guys existed until I read a book recently called Alberta: Separatism Then and Now. An insightful book and I highly recommend reading it for those of you interested in how brutally Alberta has been treated as part of Canada.
The book mentioned the Wild Rose Alliance so I thought I'd mosey on over to the site and check it out. They have some nice things to say and it is a refreshing change from the current crap we have and I am referring to Stelmach and the rest of the morons in the Legislature. However, I am so jaded by politicians how do we know these guys are going to be any different from the self-serving and greedy lot that we already deal with? I am very skeptical.
Stephen Harper used to be very pro-Alberta. In fact, here are some quotes by Stephen Harper from Alberta: Separatism Then and Now:
"In the stale air of politics, what Canada really requires is the sweeping winds of change. This will challenge the vested interests of the National Policy, the Welfare State, and the Quebec question, and they will resist. In the end, however, these groups will have to cast aside their narrow definitions of Canada - the country they claim to love - because that country can no longer be built on the economic exploitation and political disenfranchisement of western Canada. In the meantime, we require a political party to put pursuit of the West's agenda at the top of the list. This must be a party willing to end central control and special interest politics in its own ranks."
"the government in Ottawa will be tempted to take advantage of Alberta's prosperity, to redistribute income from Alberta to residents of other provinces in order to keep itself in power. It is imperative to take the initiative, to build firewalls around Alberta, to limit the extent to which an aggressive and hostile federal government can encroach upon legitimate provincial jurisdiction."
Well, Mr. Harper...funny how you abandoned these thoughts only to keep your sorry ass in power and this is exactly what worries me about any and every politician and the point of sharing the quotes. Stephen Harper also helped get this going. Pround Albertan my ass. Self-serving politician is more fitting. These people say one thing, get elected, and then start running their own show. Is the Wild Rose Alliance any different? Based on the past track record of politicians and their parties, I am going to say no.

How About Some Jail Time?
Article
Nice. Another public official squandering away our money. We need to make a law that allows for jail time when a public official wastes money like this instead of just allowing them to 'step down'. Disgusting. It is high time public officals be held accountable for their actions and I don't mean having them lose their jobs with a sweet severance - I mean jail time and possibly reparations.
