Where’s The Beef

Yes, in-laws can be a bother but….

Ms Patterson, from Victoria Australia, made beef wellington for her estranged husband Simon’s parents Gail and Don, both 70, as well as Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, and brother-in-law Ian Wilkinson, 68.

Heather, Gail and Don all died days later having fallen seriously unwell, while Ian spent nearly two months in hospital before eventually recovering.

I told you we should have gone Vegan!

Breaking news. This just-in…Opposition Conservatives have obtained leaked secret recordings concerning a billion dollar Liberal “green” slush-fund that was used to funnel “free money” to “well connected Liberals.”

Where’s the beef?…erm pork

Where are the green backs?

Where are the Liberals?

Classically Liberal: Calling all porkers, your trough is ready.A liberal porker!

You are in good Liberal hands.

We Live In A Sick Society

Hey, as I far as I am concerned if you support Hamas and the Palestinians then you support the rape and murder of women, men and children and the beheading of babies. If you would love to go back and live in the 7th century Islam culture then go right ahead. If you are LGBTQ etc and you support Hamas / Palestinians and not Israel then go and live over there, admit your orientation, and see how far that gets you under Hamas, Hezbollah, Sunnis Shiite or the Palestinians.

It is hypocrisy of the biggest order. Israel must abide by International rule of law in its take down of Hamas terrorists. Hamas’ take down of the Jewish people and the Jewish state?…not so much.

Israel be damned by the international community and University campuses here in the west for going after Hamas indiscriminately. Hamas? Let’s go and kill Jews and clear the land of Jewry from the river to the sea. Yesss screams our lefty Hamas cheerleaders.

It is a sick society we live in here in the west.

There is no place for antisemitism hatred.

There was no precivilizational, unspeakable atrocity that the butcherers did not commit—torture, beheading, rape, mutilation, and necrophilia.

The terrorists were followed into Israel by a multitude of opportunistic Gaza civilians, who in turn joined in the violence and looting.

Back in Gaza crowds reviled and tried to harm Israeli captives bound as hostages to trade for jailed terrorists in Israel.

In sum, the population that once elected Hamas into power, and cheered on its bloodletting—as long as there was yet no Israeli response—now claims to have no connection at all with Hamas. Yet the world assumes correctly that the people of Israel are inseparable from its military.

The surreal paradoxes of this war still do not end there. (Victor Davis Hanson)

Just sayin, that’s all.

Hey, Its Only Halloween

This just in:

Avoid Univershity at all costs:

Wilfrid Laurier University is advising students against dressing up as ninjas, prisoners or hula dancers for Halloween – claiming that these costumes entail offensive appropriations.

I kid you not.

How about going as a professor? Scary thought.

Before picking a costume, students should ask themselves if their costume “makes fun of human traits, identities, cultures, or races [or] represents an identity that isn’t their own… reduces culture, gender, or religion to stereotypes.”

The post also provides an exhaustive list of costumes that students should avoid. This includes costumes of Indigenous peoples or those that make fun of sexual and gendered violence as well as those that depict transgender people. 

Students must also not dress up as ninjas, prison inmates, mentally ill persons in psychiatric facilities, hula dancers or as homeless people. 

Well, that just about covers everything and everyone, don’t ya think.

And speaking of Justin:

Justin Trudeau has appointed a former Liberal MP to be one of his independent, non-partisan senators.

Do they think we are stupid?

I guess so. Just look at that smirk on his face. He is thinking: Canadians, especially English Canadians, are soooo stupid.

And this:

Justin has just announced a Carbon Tax waiver for three years for all of Atlantic Canada provinces as 40% or more heat their homes there with oil (they still use home heating oil????). The rest of us in Canada be damned.

As we use natural gas, don’t ya know. And here’s to the rest of you stupid Canadians, especially in the west.

Continue to use natural gas.

Okay! Here’s to you.

That feels sooo good, the cow retorts.

We should use methane me thinks.

It is a weird but wonderful world out there.

Have fun and avoid Univershity at all costs. Learn a trade instead.

It’s a gas,gas, gas.

Have a nice day.

October 23-26: Amsterdam

Staying at the airport Ibis hotel. Inexpensive but clean and good value. And they have a free shuttle service to and from the airport. And there is a train station at the airport,  which will take you to Central Station and the heart of Amsterdam.

Ɓut miserable weather here in Amsterdam. First day in over a month that we experienced rain. We went out to explore but just didn’t feel like doing anything. We went to the Reijks Museum but it was way too crowded. Could not really enjoy it so we left. That is the problem with traveling now. Too many people….everywhere. So we decided to return to our hotel. We leave for home tomorrow, 26th October.

By the way. Amsterdam is super expensive. And they nickel and dime you to death here. You pay for everything. A cup of tea will cost you 8 cdn dollars, coffee around 10. Beer about 13. Club sandwich 25. So bring money if you come here.

Soon to be home. This has been one fantastic trip in spite of Amsterdam’s expense.  The Camino was great as was Lisbon and the other places we travelled to. But as the old saying goes there is no place like home.

Thanks for being a part of the journey.

Out for awhile. Read ya sometime later and may all your Caminos be great ones.

So long Chester. May you rest in peace. You will be missed.

October 23: Goodbye Crete

Come to Crete. It is fantastic. May and mid September are the best times as it gets too hot in the summer months.

Knossos palace was very interesting. Imagine the Minoans being the first European civilization. Walk among ruins that are 4,000 years old.

Beer is excellent. Food too. I am not a salad person generally but I loved the Greek salads here. Traditional and those unique to a region. People are super friendly. Alas they cannot make a decent pizza here and the fries are not so good. Interestingly, clubhouse sandwiches are very popular on Crete.

Now waiting for our flight to Amsterdam.

Boy oh boy I love this country.‏
