Not feeling all that cheerful today, especially looking at this:
Is this my future? An electric chair for old farts like me? Checking out! And then I saw this:
Gee, and after all is said and done I can go out and have a game of this:
Too cruel.
Then I saw this and it made me laugh:
Workers busy at Stonehenge as they had to move the stones ahead one hour!
All is right in my world again.
So what else is going on? Oh the Canadian NDP’s Jagmeet Singh!
“He saw a country wracked by poverty, illiteracy & disease. So he lead (sic) a revolution that uplifted the lives of millions. RIP #FidelCastro,” Singh wrote, along with a picture of a young Castro.
So the CBC adds this:
Now, the character limit on Twitter back at the time was 140, so perhaps we should give Singh the benefit of the doubt and assume he would’ve added, “Oh, but Castro was also a tyrant who committed monstrous crimes against his own people” if only he had the 280 character limit of Twitter today.
But he didn’t CBC. You did. Would you have given the same benefit of the doubt to Harper? And what about his spelling? A leder who cannot spell properlie!
Looking at Jagmeet Singh got me to thinking. Maybe, just maybe there could be a correlation here. What do you think?
Or a new TV or Netflix production appropriately titled:
“Jag, Meet Singh”
Too funny. Should be a hit!
From living in a third world shit-hole comes this:
Canadian High Commissioner to Barbados Marie Legault raised the ire of Barbadian education minister Ronald Jones, who said in fiery terms Tuesday she should be recalled to Canada for suggesting the country is ready for a female prime minister — and, in his view, implying that citizens should vote for a change in government. Free speech anyone?
Or this:
Rio council member and vocal police critic Marielle Franco shot dead
And this:
“I will never go to Mexico again” Ontario man claims he was attacked, robbed in Playa Del Carmen.
Just another Saturday night in ole Me-kee-co I’m afraid.
To me travelling anywhere south of the San Diego / Tijuana border is the shits – both figuratively and literally. And always, always have a toilet close by.
That is my take on it. Canada, for all its warts and Prime Minister, ain’t so bad after all.
Song for the day. In honour of the timeless Stonehenge:
Let’s see what’s coming up. Oh yeah, this exciting sport:
See, even he agrees. He’s waving to his mom! Cute.
Cross Country Skiing. Such an exciting spectator sport. Don’t you agree:
Hey, wake up. Medal ceremony is about to begin.
How about this exciting display of physical prowess:
Making “Snow Angels” is going to become a winter games sport competition in 2022. Can’t wait. Or this latest offering from the Brits:
From their Directorate of Silly Walks. That’ll work…Gotta be fun.
We need characters here to lighten things up. Like good ole Eddy the Eagle:
Maybe this:
“Hey, bring the bobsled with ya next time…okay. Man oh man I have snow burn bad.”
Great games nonetheless.
What else is going on?
Trudeau and his Chief of Staff Gerald Butts thinks Canadians are fascist for daring to criticize Trudeau and his government. Fascist? Coming from our fearless leader. It’s a joke, just like this government Minister, Catherine McKenna, after this remark:
Like, Pyongyang is in South Korea? Oh Really! Me kenna thinks it is in North Korea Catherine. When queried she could only come back and say:
“Well, hey, after all it is 2018. Geography is hard you know. Just like the New Math, as in 2 + 2 = 22. C’mon….now move on.”
I don’t think many Canadians will be watching from Pyongyang. Just these dudes and dudesses:
이동 캐나다 이동 …(Go Canada Go)
The US is cutting taxes, eliminating regulations, and opening up more land for development. What are we doing? Well, Canada is implementing social justice based policies regarding major infrastructure and resource based projects that render Canada economically impotent. McKenna has just insisted that a Gender Based policy will over-ride the approval process in the construction of pipe-lines…… Say what! What does that mean?…..Well, perhaps this:
Oh Canada? You’re / we’re screwed.
After the Boushie verdict our Prime Minister denounces the Canadian justice system calling out the Judge, Jury and the system as a whole as racist. Contempt for our courts? Yet, not too long ago he upholds our justice system in awarding convicted terrorist Omar Khadr $10.5M bucks. Identity politics at its best, or worse.
Canadians should be appalled at what our so called leaders are doing to this country.
In keeping With Justin’s trip to Davos and his presentation to the World Economic Forum:
But first Justin’s new math: New ancient Math tablet discovered. Will change everything we thought we knew about new Math.
1 + 1 = 3…Yikes
On another note: Province’s education minister calling out those parents who complain about the math program as suffering from”Mathaphobia.” “They will be dealt with” hey/zey and zir announced.
Trudeau’s Speechwriter at Davos?. “I don’t need no teleprompter.” Trudeau was heard to say!
Trudeau’s Economic Policy. Trudeau remarked: “It’s just too complicated for ordinary Canadians to understand. It all boils down to four words: F%$K the Middle Class.
Or this:
Finally, on Terrorism:
“Just like me!”
On Foreign Policy, Justin was equally profound:
“Canada’s foreign policy is all foreign to me Fare!”
Other important stuff:
Nafta and Canada. “Naf said,” McKenna, Canada’s Climate Barbie announces in her down homer accent. “Ta!, Bye, Bye.”
At a recent press conference, Justin Trudeau called U.S.-based Haitians entering Quebec “irregular” immigrants, as opposed to illegal ones, even though they are illegal.
On another note, and following Trudeau’s comments, a Canadian government official, Ahmed Hussein er Hussen, the “Minister for Illegal Immigration,” who wishes to remain anonymous, says that Keopectate will be issued to all new illegals, er irregulars. Trudeau then left for his latest round of international meetings and important discussions with foreign leaders and Heads of State.
“No Mum, this is the way to do the Macarena.”
“Hey Mutti, I just passed Ontario’s sex education program.”
Thanks for all your thoughts and cards. Appreciated it. The boys and I are doing alright.
Hard to get into it today. Buddy of mine sent me this. Thought it was great:
The difference between complete and finished. Is that like the difference between who and whom? No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between these two words.
In a recent linguistic competition held in London and attended by,
supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted over 5 minutes.
The final question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.
Here is his astute answer:
When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE.
When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!!!
He won a trip around the world and a case of 25 year old Scotch!
Of course I wouldn’t know about that at all!
World leaders are meeting in Davos Switzerland this week to discuss many neat things…like the environment. Oxymoronic don’t you think when Al Gore et al predicted the end of blow…er snow… as a result of global warming…er climate change? Must have been a tad embarrassing arriving at Davos to see this:
“I’m sure he (Gore) said the end of blow…the representatives from Mexico and Columbia snorted. That is racist I tell you, bloody racist.”
Meanwhile
Natural disasters caused more than $300 billion in damage in 2017 and environmental dangers dominate the top risks in the Global Risks Report. Climate change will increase the risks.
No, building homes on flood plains will. Development within arid dry brush areas will. Poor forestry practices will, neglect of critical infrastructure will. Building homes in isolated areas will. 90% of forest fires are caused by humans either deliberately or indirectly….will….So there William!
Participants include: Al Gore, former U.S. Vice-President (of what?); Peter O’Neill, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea (Who?); Philipp M. Hildebrand, Vice-Chairman, BlackRock (Who?); Hailemariam Desalegn, Prime Minister of Ethiopia (Who?); Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, Coordinator, Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (of Whom?) … all of whom…er who…no whom… are signatories for the implementation of the UN’s climate Change fraud…er fund. Trudeau nodded in agreement. “Hey I’ll raise you $2.5B for that fund.” “Canadians are so gullible” he whispered into an open mic.
“Yeah, but it’s Canadian dollars you know Justine….” they all laughed when they realized that important fact.
Yeah that’ll do it Al. A who’s who in the climate change world.
Will Trump crash this party?
Probably. Expect “America First,” a broadside against unfair trade practices, tough talk toward enemies and a fair bit of bragging when U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the World Economic Forum (WTF?) next week, according to a range of policy commentators.
You know, standing up for what is right about one’s own country. Just like Germany, France and the Swiss do. America first?
“No bloody way Mutti Merkel touts. It’s isolationist, racist I tell you. How dare you look out for your constituents. Zat iz not the European vay”
Interesting that Switzerland has been ranked as the best country in the world in which to live…two years running. “Oh, are they part of the EU financial and cultural basket case? No? No? Can there be a correlation here? Mutti was asked.
“No, no, no ….just move vight along.” she responded.
Meanwhile Trudeau, not to be outdone by Trump, assured the audience at Davos that while Trump acts like the big bad bully he is Canada remains steadfast as a beacon of light and hope in an ever increasing dangerous world. Just look at me folks:
See, even these people agree. Are they laughing at Trump or Trudeau’s new sweater:
Too much craziness out there.
Hey I see Canada is now ranked #2 of the best countries in the world in which to live. Switzerland is #1. Nutella beat out Maple Syrup for the second year in a row………..sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
This just in: A dozen beasts have been disqualified from this year’s Saudi “camel beauty contest” because their handlers used Botox to make them more handsome….I kid you not!
This latest scandal coming in on the heels of the 2017 Muslim Beauty pageant.
During the Burka swimsuit competition the judges were heard to remark. “This was truly a huge challenge as no clear winner emerged.”
Hump day in Saudi Arabia takes on a whole new meaning.
Today’s “Oxymoronic Award” goes to:
At Davos, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for greater international cooperation on issues such as climate change and cited the rise of protectionism as a threat facing the world, presenting a vision at odds with U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” approach.
Why do we even listen to these guys anymore?
Oh and the latest Darwin award goes to our new generation of kids:
“YouTube and Facebook are trying to stop the spread of the Tide Pod Challenge, a bizarre and dangerous online craze where teenagers eat laundry detergent packets on camera.”
Heard in passing:
“Gawd, when I was a kid we were so poor that I had to eat my tide right out of the box.”
“Oh yeah? Not me. We were soooo poor when I was a kid that my mom washed my mouth out with a used bar of soap each and every day! So there……….!”
Tune of the day:
I don’t know. Is a Sultan a Muslim elder or a Burka swimsuit competition judge, or what? I just don’t know but this song rocks.
Few new posts for awhile. Family emergency. Here is a repeat from last year. Still relevant:
From the “World Health Organization”……………………Who?
We want to tax sugar to fight obesity… SWEEEEEEET!
From the school of common sense: get them off their asses and into the playgrounds, sports programs, and throw their Xboxes, IPhones and Tablets into the trash. Bring back play, as the saying goes.
But it’s their right to do what they want. Right?
Kids have no responsibilities therefore they have no rights!
And what about rights. Do you think you have rights? What rights? Think again man or women or ne,ve,ze. This is just a smoke screen and another example of how our individual freedoms and rights are being undermined by government legislators – at all levels. Soon we will be told what to eat, what to drink, what to wear, what to say, what to think, what to watch, what to drive, what bloody light bulbs we have to use.
Legislators will ban herbicides, ban pesticides, ban perfume, ban cologne, ban lawnmowers, ban red meat, ban white meat for its privilege, ban “Monster Truck” shows, ban camping, ban boating, ban contact sports, ban BBQ’s, ban fun. If left unchecked there will be no idling of cars, hey, no driving of cars, no international air travel, no travel at all, no smoking, no swearing, no drinking, no critical thought if you please, no consequences for bad personal decisions or choices, no discipline as it’s always somebody else’s fault. The do good-ers and the activists are having a field day. By the way, have you ever met a happy activist or a happy environ-mental -ist? Nope? Neither have I.
It took me 65 years to become a Grumpy Old Man. These environmental whackos and Social Justice Warriors had that locked up the minute they entered University.
Orwell had it right all along. Only he was well ahead of our times. Oh the horror of it all. People – wake up!!!
Next they’ll want to tax the very air that we breathe. Oh wait, they’re doing that now with their so called Carbon Tax. After all when we inhale we have to exhale, and that my friends contains CO2 – so stop breathing to save the planet. In today’s world telling someone figuratively to “drop dead” has a whole new meaning…THEY MEAN IT!
They’ll want to tax volcanic eruptions and erections next.
And given the UN’s stellar record of collective security and peacekeeping – Rwanda, Sudan, Somalia – come to mind; their impressive decisions on Human Rights as reflected by the righteousness of the UN Human Rights Council; the inspirational insight that the UN demonstrated with their election of Zimbabwe as the lead nation on the United Nations’ Commission on Sustainable Development, their appointment of Iran to head the committee on the status of women and Libya to chair the Human Rights Council a few years back; and their dynamic organizational skills and efficacy in financial administration as witnessed by their Oil for Food program and the human disaster that is called Haiti, why oh why on earth would anyone with half a brain in their head believe in the conclusions drawn up by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Huh? Huh?
Gee, and after all is said and done I can go out and have a game of this:
Too cruel.
Or a new TV or Netflix production appropriately titled:
See, even he agrees. He’s waving to his mom! Cute.
From their Directorate of Silly Walks. That’ll work…Gotta be fun.
Maybe this:
“Hey, bring the bobsled with ya next time…okay. Man oh man I have snow burn bad.”
