Liberal training video on how to obfuscate during Parliament’s House of Clowns Question Period:
From Canada’s Ministry of Silly Walks:
Note the request for a government grant. That would immediately get approval under Canada’s “DIE” initiative. Not MaID…DIE…you bast.rd.
Meanwhile, to combat Canada’s forest fire problem, the Department of Silly Firefighters has this training video to boost morale:
Birju Dattani, former executive director of the Yukon Human Rights Commission, was appointed chief commissioner in June and is to take up the role in August for a salary of between $330,000 and $390,000…Wow. I am a Human Rights expert and you’re not.
After his appointment was announced, Jewish organizations raised concerns about the screening process and posts he had made about Israel while he was attending graduate school under a different name almost a decade ago. Well, it is a human right, right?
Following those concerns Justice Minister Alf Virani’s office announced it would do an independent investigation of Dattani’s “potentially troubling” statements before he starts the new position. Alf Virani?? The blind leading the blind?
I am Alf Virani…and you’re not.
A spokesman for the Privy Council Office (PCO), which is responsible for vetting appointments, now says there was an “administrative oversight” during the vetting process before Dattani’s appointment. Yeah, right. Administrative oversight is Ottawa code for we really fooked things up.
Daniel Savoie says Dattani’s other name was not searched or given to the security agencies also involved in background checks. Other name? Other names, aliases? Are you kidding me? Oh, yeah, obfuscation is a human right in Canada, don’t ya know.
The RCMP and CSIS are “now completing the necessary reviews.” But Dattani was not fired.
“(The PCO) has undertaken a review of its background check process in this case and has issued direction, as part of its standard operating procedures, that all aliases provided should be reviewed and shared with partners for review,” Savoie said. Whew! That should do it.
“Yup, 10-12 Submarines. You betcha, by golly, gee willickers. And unlike our last buy these subs will actually be able to submerge. You have my word on that because I am Bill Blair and you’re not.”
Defence Minister Bill Blair inflated numbers on military spending, says a Budget Office report. It follows Department of National Defence in-house polling that found half of Canadians believe the military is underfunded: “Do you feel Canada’s military is underfunded, overfunded or receives about the right amount?” Well do you??” Trudough wants to know. More obfuscation.
Canadian defence? It is an oxymoron. When the rest of the world spells defense with an “s” Canada spells it with a “c.” Further obfuscation.
How fooked is Canada’s defence organization? Well back in the late 80s Canada built 12 Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels. They are supposed to defend our coasts from smugglers, polluters etc. But they can only do 15 knots, max. Boston Whalers can go faster. So the would be smugglers give these vessels the finger as they speed off over the horizon. “Yeah but they look good,”: Bill Blair says, “and that is a deterrent.” Yes, the pirates are shaking in their boots over that statement.
Canada just built 2 Arctic offshore patrol vessels, and sent one of them to Cuba to deter the Russian naval presence there. Does anyone see the logic in that? Last time I checked there were no ice floes in the Caribbean.
The Canadians are coming…the Canadians are coming, the Russian Admiral lamented.
“Yeah but we have a 50 caliber gun.”
“Ottawa. We have a problem.” So says the Canadian On Scene Commander in Havana Harbour.
The Canadian Navy is a joke.
Best Health Care System in the world??
The NDP and Liberal solution? We need more administrators with higher salaries that should be paid for by higher taxes on primary health care providers. Easy peasy. Yeah, that should do it. That should do it. We want moe money.
Thank goodness for that. I guess Freelunch in now our health minister, and you’re not.
We want moe money. And in 30 years time, when this is totally fooked up we will demand moe money because the Government should have known better and never have turned over the reins of this program to incompetent indigenous agencies. Moe money. Moe money. The benefit that just keeps on giving.
AFN’s draft child-welfare reform deal with Ottawa reportedly worth $47.8B
The head of the Assembly of First Nations has informed chiefs that a draft deal with Ottawa on child-welfare reforms is worth $47.8 billion, a source who was in the room says — more than double what was initially promised.
Great if you can get it…and I can’t.
Jetted From Morocco To India
The Senate’s leading opponent of fossil fuels in the past year jetted more than 100,000 kilometres to climate conferences from Casablanca to Mumbai, new records show. Senator Rosa Galvez (Que.), a Liberal appointee, called climate change “the greatest challenge of our time.” says who? Who? The World Health Organization, that’s who. Yes but who’s on first, I don’t know is on second, and I am a liberal senator and you’re not is on third.
“Of every gin joint…she had to pick mine”
Of course it is because I am a Liberal appointed senator…a Quebecois and you’re not.
Ottawa? Quebec’s government by proxy in its rule over the rest of us.
The United Nations, unsurprisingly, was generally gutted to learn that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi — known as the “butcher of Tehran” — died in a helicopter crash over the weekend. In a Monday meeting of the U.N. Security Council, a “moment of silence” was held to mourn the dead murderer rather than his thousands of innocent victims.
That’s like giving Hitler a nod and a song on his birthday. Maybe give him some cupcakes…eh Biden?
That is, an American ambassador stood to mourn the death of a mass murderer whose government endorsed “death to America.” Yet another weak and shameful moment for the Biden administration and the UN on the world stage.
Time to get out of the UN.
Time to get out of Canada!
The Canadian Human Rights Commission was so upset by a backlash over Christmas it says it feared for staff safety. The Commission in 2023 provoked an uproar in Parliament after publishing a report denouncing Christmas as a racist observance “grounded in Canada’s history of colonialism.”
Our House of Clowns. Typical Liberal obfuscation. How can any Canadian vote for the Liberals.
All the Aid From Biden’s $300M Gaza Pier was Seized by Hamas.
“But…but. They lied to us.” A US and UN spokesperson said of HAMAS.
You can bet your aahh…sss they did.
Liberal delusion or illusion!
Canadian Housing Minister Sean Fraser yesterday said critics must “not interfere” in his plan to build 3.9 million homes. Fraser’s remarks followed an observation from one MP that the construction target would require a new home to be built every 60 seconds: “Have a field day.”
“If we say we are going to do something, we mean it. That we are going to do something, I mean…to address the crisis that we are responsible for. After all doing nothing is doing something, even if its nothing…right?
And this:
There’s a lot of talk about the Conservatives having no climate plan. What’s often overlooked is that the NDP/Liberals don’t have an effective plan either. Jerry DeMarco, commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, states “Canada is the only G7 country that has not achieved any emissions reductions since 1990.” He goes on to state that the Liberal/NDP plan relies on “overly optimistic assumptions” about the success of climate policies, lacks deadlines and clear predictions about how measures will actually slash emissions.
Obfuscation is the Liberal way. The Carbon Tax? It is a turbo tax on breathing. None of the money is going to fight climate change. It is a huge scam.
BTW that is steam and water vapour…not carbon.
This is sweet…if you can get some:
Canadian taxpayers have been billed over $30 million to enrich diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) consultants across all federal departments since 2019.
Diversity, equity and inclusion contracts across dozens of federal ministries were found going back to Jan. 1, 2019. Government contracts reveal a cabal of consultants trafficking in the dark arts of gender ideology, systemic racism theory and other ideological demagoguery. Federal consultant contracts for sex change seminars at the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, pipe ceremonies at Correction Service Canada (I thought smoking indoors was a no…no), Indigenous cooking (Bannock anyone?) and bead working lessons and a batch of transgender pride flags (great job if you can get it.)
The largest recipient of DEI spending was the Department of National Defence with the Liberal government dumping $9,326,278.67 to reform the Canadian military into an institution rooted in DEI ideology and sex change operations…because we need more women in our military, don’t ya know.
Consultants? An individual(s) noted for their ability to make the simple, complex. DEI is code for DIE!
Calling someone incompetent is racist…don’t ya know.House of Clowns Speaker Greg Fergus yesterday saved his job with NDP support after again breaching rules on non-partisanship. Fergus earlier complained critics held him to a “higher standard” because he is Black: “Being the first, you are held to a higher standard.” Yes, a higher standard of incompetence.
Speaking of incompetence: Trump will be found guilty because the Judge and Jury are all democrats and the fix is in in this sham of a trial. He will win on appeal though.
Total Covid cases in BC to date since the beginning, January 2020?
189,680.
Total Deaths?
1,983
Percentage? 1%
So, out of a population of over 5M people, 189,680 or 3% of the population have contracted Covid of which 1,983 people have died. Percentage of deaths due to Covid in the province?
1 %
Survival rate?
99%
Of those 1,983 deaths, information on comorbidity cannot be found anywhere. I have gone to the BC Coroners office for comorbidity numbers.
And we shut down our economy and ruined people’s livelihood for this?
No wonder Texas and Florida opened up since last March.
In BC
Fully vaccinated
Total population
70.65%
12 and older
80.70%
And yet we are still under restrictions. Why? We were told that a 70% vax rate would equate to herd immunity and allow us to get back to normal yet here we are: we still cannot gather indoors and we now have to show a vaccine passport, except for fast food outlets??????
By comparison, the drug overdose numbers in BC are shocking:
In 2020, 1,716 people in BC died due to illicit drug use equating to 4.7 deaths a day — a 74% increase over 2019. So far in 2021 there have been 1,204 suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths between January and July 2021 for a total 2,920 deaths in the same time period as Covid.
I am Alf Virani…and you’re not.
“Yeah but we have a 50 caliber gun.”
