Happy Dominion Farking Day

Okay, so it's Dominion Day, which means, I suppose, it's time for the obligatory Jingoist, "I love Canada post." Fuck that. This country sucks. Even worse, this province (Ontario) sucks. "Happy Dominion Day?" On the day that lying crapweasel McGuinty piles another thousand bucks onto my tax bill? No, I don't think so.

Anyhoo, before getting to what I actually want to write about, to all you people calling Canada "The greatest country in the world," and I do hear that several times a year, I say to you all a hearty FUCK OFF.

Canada may once have been great. Canada certainly once had great potential. Then Canada had the late, unlamented and never to be sufficiently cursed Pierre fucking Eliot fucking Trudeau. Whatever greatness we might have had, whatever greatness we might have achieved, was promptly flushed straight down the shitter. Take any measure of greatness you care to name, and Canada AIN'T number one.

Fuck, great countries do not rename their national holidays. Independence day, unchanged in 234 years, Bastille Day, unchanged in 221 years. Dominion Day, renamed illegally in 1982 under the auspices of, you guessed it, the late, unlamented and never to be sufficiently cursed Pierre fucking Eliot fucking Trudeau.

Great countries do not willy nilly replace their flags with a trademark created in the image of the political party in power (hint, the fucker is red, and the fucking Liberals think of themselves as Canada's "natural governing party"). Hell, great countries don't have "natural governing parties," banana republics do. And great countries do not consider themselves great because of socialist bullshit passed by the likes of PET's rancid piece of shit predecessor, Lester Pearson. You know, the guy who, in addition to foisting that stupid fucking "flag" on us, gave us Canada Health care, nationalized student loans and the Canada Pension Plan. In his defense, he was aided and abetted by the foul Commie pusbag known as Tommy Douglas. So, you know, it's not just the LUANTBSCPFEFT Liberals who are to blame for Canada's fall from near/potentially great to Banana republic. There were other Liberal, the NDP, and the stupid fucks who voted for them.

Anyway, this is a flag:



This is a trademark:



Why, just last week we hosted the G7 and G20 conferences. I saw surveys about how admired we are by various third world pissholes. Great countries are not admired. They are feared. They are envied. To be a nation "admired" is to be a second rater, a once was, a never was, or a never could have been.

Oh, yes, Canadians are so polite. And they breed such fine hockey players. And they lose with such grace. And they have no ability whatsoever to project power, so they can't push back when we fuck with them. I do admire them so. Pussies.

Fuck it, on to the topic to hand.

Seems during the G20 our illustrious "conservative" Prime Minister saw fit to piss a billion dollars away on security. Much of that went to the Toronto gun totin' bureaucrat force, for extra special, super duper ninja equipment. Which they put to good use as they stood around while police cars burned. Nice work officers, sorry you forgot the marshmallows and wieners.

That's okay, though, at least they made up for letting violent thugs destroy property, both private and public, while publicly humiliating them (the cops) by harassing middle aged people with video cameras. And wearing the dreaded black t-shirt, blocks away from the protests. That third link certainly provides an interesting set of comments. "Oh, jeez Mike, if you'd only bent over and let them anally do you, then they wouldn't have been at all rude. And it's all your own fault anyway, because you were there, wearing a black t shirt."

I'm going to swing the clue bat here, people. THE FUCKING POLICE ARE FUCKING PUBLIC SERVANTS. YOU CAN BE AS RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS TO THEM AS YOU WANT, AND THEIR JOB, SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAW, IS TO SMILE, SWALLOW YOUR BULLSHIT AND SAY, "Mmm, yummy, thank you sir, have a nice day." Anything else, ANYTHING else, is a violation of your natural rights. Not your "Charter Rights," the Charter is a badly written piece of shit foisted on us by, yes, the late, unlamented and never to be sufficiently cursed Pierre fucking Eliot fucking Trudeau. Mike Brock wasn't breaking the law, and they don't get to arrest you, they don't get to detain you, they don't get to be fucking rude to you, if you're not breaking the law.

I know, I know, it's a tough job, the Black Bloc was out, they only want to get home safe...blah, blah, blah. Don't like the job? Don't take it. Or quit. I'll say it again, police are public servants. They work for us, they don't rule us. So I'll say it again. Don't like the job? Tough shit, no one drafted you. You want to swagger around packing heat? Well, there's a downside. Don't like the downside? Quit so we can hire someone who isn't a flaming asshole.

Ownership of your body. Ownership of your time, the fruits of your labours, the right to defend same, by whatever means, and with whatever violence necessary. Speech, conscience, worship, assembly. These are rights, but without property rights (the first three listed), they are vapour. We. Don't. Have. Property. Rights. Or, rather, we (naturally) have property rights, but our constitution and government are set up to abrogate and violate those rights in minute detail.

Hmm, I was intending this to be a missive on trust in society, and I was going to link it to the G20, and maybe tie in Caledonia, and the massive suckitude of Canada due to the breakdown of trust in society. And how the break down in trust leads to a bunker mentality with the police leading to bullshit as mentioned above. I also had some thoughts on law and order, and it's erosion in the breakdown of the trust society, and how the fucking leftoids have wreaked havoc on it with the over legislated, over regulated state, but I'm out of steam.

Fuck it, here's some more Ozzie. Have I already done "Crazy Train?" If so, here it is again.



And some more Arch Enemy. Have I already done "Blood on Your Hands?" If so, here it is again.



Maybe some Goth Metal next time.

Why Canada Sucks, Part VI, Multiculturalism

Now, I've been meaning to have a go at multiculturalism for some time, but it took this Globe and Mail poll (thanks to Kathy Schaidle) to kick me into gear.

Now, first question, is multiculturalism something about Canada which sucks, or is it a cause of Canadian suckitude? Mostly the latter, I think. Let's explore.

Before the late, unlamented and never to be sufficiently cursed Pierre f'ing Elliot f'ing Trudeau set out on his one man mission to destroy this country, Canada was a unicultural country. Oh, sure, we payed lip service to being bilingual and bicultural, but let's be serious. On all the major issues of a given day, we pretty much ignored Quebec, and they pretty much ignored us.

WW1? Quebec objected, we went, and had to institute the draft to get Quebecers into uniform. WW2, ditto. Hell, the fascist himself reflected on it in his 1993 memoir with the money quote, "So there was a war on, tough." English Canada was all in on the fight to free Europe. Quebec, not so much. But we went, and dragged them along.

Then along came the French fucker and his cult of personality. So Canada lacked any great distinguishing culture. So we were neither Americans nor British, but, outside of geography, really couldn't say why. That was no goddamned reason to make it official govt policy that, since we had no culture, we'd have every culture.

Why does this matter? Because, dammit, although there may have been little to call Canadian "culture" what we had was the inheritance of the British Empire. A homogenous population, a unifying language, a common history and common assumptions. We had what the multi-culti fantasists dream of; a country where, by and large, differences can be talked away, and even if they cannot be resolved. There is, for example, no resolution between the pro- and anti-abortion crowds, or between the pro- and anti- capital punishment crowds. You fall in one camp or the other, you might even switch camps along the way, but one side or the other gets its wish. You hang Paul Bernardo, or you don't, there is no middle ground. Abortion is legal, or not, there is no middle ground. However, even though one side (and somehow, invariably, it seems to be the Liberal side) gets its way, you don't have riots in the streets.

This is, and I cannot stress this strongly enough, due to our British heritage. A trust society. Peaceful protest. Respect for the Law. Orderly transfer of power. We can make a deal and expect the terms to be fulfilled, without threat of force. We don't have revolutions because "our" people are on the outs. We do NOT shut down the Gardiner Expressway on Mother's Day just because something happened half a world away, and we're pissed off the govt didn't do anything about it.

Don't believe me? If you can't live in Europe, where would you choose to live? Not as a wealthy ex-pat living like a king, but as an immigrant. Pick a country, which has been colonized, and the more peaceful, stable and wealthy it is, the more likely it is to have been an English posession.

So, what did we do in Canada? Elected the late, unlamented and never to be sufficiently cursed Pierre f'ing Elliot f'ing Trudeau(if I should ever have the foul luck to find myself at his gravesite, there will be much pissing and dancing, oh, yes, there will be pissing and dancing galore). Yes, let us let in a flood of immigrants who share none of our heritage. Then, let us tell them that their culture is not just as good as ours, let us tell them it is superior, and that they should keep it. Then, 40 years later, let us wonder at what the hell happened to our country.

Our country is now 66% European descended, and 2% Amerindian. That leave 32% "other". But only 21% think multiculturalism is just peachy. Hmm, even a huge chunk of our immigrant population (minimum, 1/3 give or take) think it sucks. Add in a huge chunk of Liberal white guilt, and I would hazard a guess that most of our immigrant population think that multi-culti nonsense is just that, nonsense.

So why the fuck do we pursue it? Why doesn't that spineless jackass at 24 Sussex Dr. do something to end this expensive, divisive, dangerous, stupid policy? Ha HA, because of how multiculturalism makes Canada suck. It's like health care. Should our "conservative" government attempt the slightest action to slow the flushing of our country down the multi-culti shithole, the Liberals and the media (but I repeat myself) will go ape shit, and the "conservatives" will find themselves out of power again. And, because they're a pack of spineless pukes, holding on to power for its own sake is more important that using power gained to effect positive change.

And am I alone in finding it odd that a huge number of "new" Canadians object to multi-culti nonsense, yet can be relied on to vote Liberal? I mean, many of them came here to escape the kleptocrats in their own countries, so why do they vote for the kleptocrats here? I just don't fucking get it.

By the way, up there I did, indeed, call multiculturalism "dangerous." The vast majority of our immigrants live in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. And not out in the well policed, quiet, middle class or wealthy burbs, but in the diseased cores. Which of these crime ridden pissholes do you want to live in?

A Black Man, A White Man and a Mexican Walk Into a Summit

Hah, you think I'm going there with that lede?

Seems that at a summit of the duly elected leaders of the NAFTA countries, and 0bama, El Presidente Calderon complained to Prime Minister Halfaspine about the new visa rules. To wit, Mexicans now need a visa to visit Canada, where before they didn't.

So what? We're a sovereign sort-of-nation, and if we choose to impose visas on Mexican touristas, that's our business. Don't like it? Well, Felipe, a hearty vete a la mierda. What are you gonna do, impose visas on us? Go ahead, who spends more tourist dollars, Canadians in Mexico, or Mexicans in Canada.

And, BTW, the reason for it is the number of Mexicans who come here as tourists and claim refugee status. Yes, our refugee system is broken beyond repair (the subject of another post), but, if Mexico were a half decent place to live, rather than yet another corrutp, 3rd world shithole, maybe your citizens wouldn't feel the need to cheat their way into Canada.

C'mon, seriously, MEXICANS are fleeing to CANADA. D'you know what the weather is like here? Here's a thought, fix your own POS country rather than complain that we're making it hard for your citizens to flee.

CDN Nuclear Secrets Left at CTV Studio

Okay, so Lisa Raitt, Minister of Natural Resources, leaves a confidential binder at a CTV studio.

Thoughts. First, fire the idiot. The "Conservatives" have a minority government, and can't close ranks if the opposition decides to bring them down. They also must live up to a much higher standard than the Liberals. Okay, that's not fair, so I'll rephrase. The "Conservatives," unlike the Liberals, must live up to a standard.

A Liberal prime minister could be caught on an open mike, talking about how much he loves pissing off the Americans (I'm looking at you, Jeanny Cretin), a Liberal member (Carolyn Parrish) could say, to reporters, "Damn Americans...I hate those bastards," Liberals could steal millions of taxpayer dollars (Adscam) and it would be no big deal. A "Conservative" leaves a confidential, not secret, not top secret, merely confidential, document? Scandal, SCANDAL, SCANDAL. Fire her now, save us the faux hysterics, on both sides.

Second. The press, having a new "Conservative" "scandal" to dwell on, is not going to ask the following question. If the documents are so secret, and critical to national security, and important, and Scandal, SCANDAL, SCANDAL, why is it not a bad thing that CTV kept them for over a week, instead of calling the dept of natural resources to return them?

Third. Aren't the "Conservatives" supposed to be the grown ups? The serious ones, capable of governing in these difficult times? This comes out a year after Maxime Bernier, former Foreign Minister, left secret (yes, secret, as in important) documents at his girlfriend's apartment. Are there any adults in this country willing to enter politics? Hey, don't look at me...pot, meet the fulminating kettle.

Update:

Okay, Raitt offered to resign and Harper refused her resignation, taking the resignation of one of her subordinates, instead. What I said above about adults, and standards? Double down on that. Chretien or Trudeau could get away with scapegoating a subordinate. Even Mulroney, due to massive majorities, could. Stevie, you've got a minority, and a "Conservative" one, at that. Behave like an adult, and apply standards.

And now the talking heads on the new are calling it Raitt Gate or something. I'm with Kathy Schaidle on this one. No more (fill in the blank)-Gates. How about we call this Chalkaquiddick?

And STILL no one is asking why CTV didn't call the DNR and tell them about the forgotten documents.
