“Just Transition” is the plan by our dear leader-hoser in Canada to shut down the nation’s oil and gas industry (read Alberta and Saskatchewan) and transition them to a totalitarianism view of a green economy and the trans-life. But….
No they don’t because the majority of Canadians believe in….
Where is my six pack? And Doritos? Hockey night in Canada will soon be on.
And they drive Trans-Ams, transidentially.
By the by-way. Did you know that 4 out of 3 people are bad at math? Well did ya? Well they are ya know.
Can you believe this? Only in Canada you say? Shitty!
Trudeau speaks about federal funding to fight racism given to anti-semitic organization. “We cannot accept intolerance, we cannot accept racism, hatred and anger, particularly that which is not funded by the government.”
“After all, we do racism better than anyone. Just ask the Black Olives Matter organization.”
Oh and by the by-way, to fight systemic racism at the Canadian federal level only BIPOC individuals will be new hires. Whitey need not apply. There! Whew! Case closed. Next file?
Oh yeah, I forgot : 2 + 2 = 4 is a sign of whiteness or white priveledge. We prefer: “hey dude and dude-ess, bad ass: 2 + 2 = 5. Yeah bro, 4 / 2 = 0 white assess we have to worry about.”
However, woke math advocates pivoted from the falling performance of students, stating the curriculum needs to incorporate Indigenous Knowledge Systems and anti-racism to counter white supremacy and Eurocentrism, i.e. Colonialism.
That should fix the falling grade standards.
“Okay whitey: 10 beads divided by 15 beads equals 25 beads but I have no beads. No? Ask the feds for more beads then. I particularly like the earth tone coloured beads myself…taupe!
I hope none of these woke graduates go into banking, or accounting, or financial advisement.
The writing of those words, flora and fauna, plethora and paucity, (which I hate by the way), Romulus and Remus got me to thinking and brought me to the following train of thought with respect to words:
Words! What is in a word? My kingdom for a word! A horse it may be but a horse is only a word that by any other name is still a word. Words declare wars, they garner peace. Words can be hurtful, they can be playful. Words describe words as in spiteful words, hurtful words, insightful words. We can have a war of words, crosswords or them’s fightin words. Words can be theatrical: we can have a play on words. Word is the law. It is the word. Words are prophetic. Words can be the gospel truth. So sayeth the word of the Lord. Words inspire, they transpire. Words transcribe: you have my word on that. Failing that, can I have a word with you? But words are not enough. That’s why we have lawyers. Words can also be despotic, or chaotic. A single word can inspire poetry, lyricism.
And when a few words are taken together, we have a phrase. And when a couple of phrases are linked together we have, in a word, a “sentence.” And when a group of sentences are grouped together we have, in another word, a “paragraph.” And to describe or summarize a paragraph we can go right back to the beginning of this word-train of thought – to “paraphrase!”
We can combine words to make quotable quotes: some profound, some sublime, some simplistic, some stupidly clear:
“To be or not to be – that is the question.” That may be but on Jeopardy it is the answer!
“If things are good in moderation then they must be great in excess.” My favourite.
“If something is worth doing, then it is worth overdoing.” My other favourite.
“Baseball is 100% physical. The rest is mental.” (adapted from Berra).
“A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. A woman does what she wants.”
“A consultant is someone who is adept at making the simple… complex.”
“The problem with theory is that it’s just not practical enough!”
“A wise fool is an oxy moron.”
“Those lefties are so darn righteous!”
“Militancy is great…for pacifists”
“She was at a loss for words.” a paradox for sure.
“California and Canada are going to ban cow flatulence George”
“What’s flatulence Jay?”
“Cow farts George. They are going to ban cow farts in California to save the planet! I can’t make this stuff up George. Next they’ll ban people from taking more than one breath a minute in order to reduce CO2 emissions. You’ll be seeing a whole lot of people walking around LA and Toronto with puffed out cheeks – both above and below the waist! Holding their breaths and holding their asses. It’s insane George but I’m really happy about this because I won’t have to listen to these Moonbats anymore. Especially the pompous ones like Trudeau lecturing me on how to live as they accept their awards then fly off to their holiday retreats in Cuba.”
“Wow, something sure stinks in the state of California and Ottawa Jay”
“That’s Denmark George. Something smells in the state of Denmark.”
“It does? They banned cow farts there too Jay?”
“But the Moonbats in California defend their actions by saying that people laughed at Noah too. With his ark George”
“Can you imagine the stink on that ark George? But then again the methane probably kept the water levels at bay by keeping that ark afloat and warm. And when the flooding was almost over somebody, Noah perhaps, lit a torch when he went down into the hold on that ark to see and hear and smell what the fuss, racket and stink was all about. Then, like the burning bush, KA-BOOM, that ark went up and exploded into about a millions splinters.
“Holy shit” Noah was heard to say, but in deference to his Lord, the supreme being and not in vain.
“The Old Testament’s proverbial shit hit the fan-tail of that ark George.”
“Is that where the proverb Ship.High.In.Transit. comes from Jay? Noah’s ark?”
“Perhaps George but I don’t know for certain. Could be. But it’s probably why no one has found Noah’s ark today. The methane explosion ripped that ark into a gazillion pieces, spread all across the ancient world I would think.”
“Oh yeah, and forced childbirth is the single biggest cause of global warming George. I kid you not. Must be in the grunts and the groans and flatulence from where those labouring green house gas emissions come from”
“Women are giving birth in a greenhouse these days Jay?”
“Man, we are doomed!”
“Thief allegedly steals up to $179,000 in gold coins and pucks from the Canadian mint by stuffing them, or so the mint suggests, the coins and pucks up his ass, then walking out. Probably got the idea and motivation from the Johnny Cash song “One Piece at a Time”
“Wow. And the mint claimed that they have a suspect and that as far as they are concerned the puck stopped there! Holy anal retentiveness George. Holy shit! That guy’s got balls and one helleva rectum
“Hey George, I was in a Tapa Bar the other night. Saw a sign there that said Black Olives Matter. It was a profound statement George. Profound! But, you know what? In a Tapa Bar they really do…matter!”
“Arctic melting will cause severe flooding on the shores of Greenland George!
“Eureka, George”
“You don’t smell all that well yourself Jay.”
“No, no, no George. Eureka! Eureka. You know -as in Archimedes and his Principle Eureka. That an object will displace its own weight in water. Arctic ice, it floats but when it melts the water level in the Arctic Ocean remains the same. But the Moonbats out there will not believe this law of physics and will state categorically and adamantly that Archimedes and his principle are coming to you from Big Oil.
“Oxymoronic Safe Injection Sites are springing up everywhere across Canada George.”
“Ban flatulence in cows, and in humans too, as it really is Natural Gas, isn’t it Jay?!”
“You bet George”
“200 protesters recently protesting the latest LNG proposition then hopping into their SUVs, pickup trucks and cars for the drive home.”
“Protesters protesting a proposed new cell tower in the local countryside all the while talking on their cell phones to get more protesters out to protest the new cell tower’s construction.”
“Bit of trivia George:”
“How many falls are there in Klamath Falls Oregon, Huh, huh?”
“Dunno Jay, May be one set of falls”
“Nope, there’s none George. There are no falls in Klamath Falls Oregon.”
“Wow, who knew!?”

Check out my other literary offerings. Good reads with great reviews.
Happy Easter as our Lord Jesus Christ has risen. He died so that we may live. He has risen from the dead so as to wash away our sins.
Remember Him and His sacrifice as you sit down with family and friends today.
Have no despair living in the madness that is our world today. Do not be anxious as He is in control. Believe in Him and all of your anxiety and worries wash away. Live your life in peace and be happy. No worries.
For, I believe:
Shut out all distractions and take a good look around you. Listen to what your heart is telling you and enjoy the silence.
And you may believe as well. I hope so.
Happy Easter
Underneath God’s light, we are all one on this earth.
