Michael Moore emerges from irrelevance to tell Canadians what to do:
He says Canadians seem to be on a misguided quest to become more like Americans when it comes to health care. As a result, he tells a conference in Toronto, Canadians are straying from one of their core principles of looking out for one another.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
First of all, Canadians do not want to be Americans; they want to be Canadians. What ignorance and arrogance to even suggest that! Way to display your stupidity, fool!
Secondly, would Moore like qualify his statement of Canadians "looking out for one another"? Is it based on his years of living in Canada? Oh, that's right! Michael Moore doesn't live in Canada and he never has. He has just has a romanticised view of Canada as a socialist utopia. Big clue, dingus: utopia means "no place". Were he to take up residence in Canada, it would be far removed from the "dregs" of Canadian suburbia. He certainly wouldn't find he has celebrity status here. We don't care about celebrities. So you've made a few movies. Big deal. Want a medal for that? Well, you're not getting one.
Thirdly, has this porcine blowhard ever been left on a gurney in a cold hospital hallway for three days, or waited in an emergency room for thirty-four hours, or had a cancer test botched? Nope.
Canada doesn't want your advice, Moore, you capitalist liar! Stuff it!
Moving on...
An excerpt from Mrs. Palin's new and wildly popular book:
From what I could see from my position in the center of the state, the
capital of Juneau seemed stocked mainly with "good ol' boys" who lunched with
oil company executives and cut fat-cat deals behind closed doors. Like most
Alaskans, I could see that the votes of many lawmakers lined up conveniently
with what was best for Big Oil, sometimes to the detriment of their own
constituents.
Whoa! From that passage, I can totally tell she cares about no one else but herself!
(WARNING: the above quote was sarcastic and not to be take seriously. Do not take internally.)
In the last election I took part in, the race was essentially down to two candidates: one representing a socialist party and the other was a self-made individual whose hard work helped define him. His working the land, however, sent most voters into a tizzy so they aligned themselves with the candidate most likely to bark for welfare cheques. The day after the election, members of a certain school board, whose ascendancy into well-paid, heavily unionised, plum positions did not depend on any real merit, were aghast- aghast!- that a farmer could have represented them in their riding.
It's this kind of toffy-nosed snobbery and uselessness that still mars civilised politics today. Obama-good/Palin-bad.
Oh really?
I commend the president for acknowledging today that “there are limits to
what government can and should do” to ease our 10.2% unemployment rate – the
highest it’s been since 1983. I also applaud his call for suggestions and
expression of openness to considering “any demonstrably good idea.” Taking him
at his word, I’d like to suggest this one: let’s learn from history and follow
the example of the man who occupied the White House in 1983 and was able to
transform an even worse recession than the one we’re currently experiencing into
the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.
Are those the words of an ungrateful, ill-educated bumpkin? This sounds like a sensible reminder of what worked historically and economically for America. It was even pernicious. Had Mrs. Palin been a columnist rather than a governor, would her words be dismissed as easily as they are now? Obviously not. Mrs. Palin- whatever her ambitions- reminds the lazy voter (the one who forgot Obama has zero experience doing anything) that their vote was wasted. The current administration doesn't have the grip previous administrations had. To paraphrase a clueless yet photogenic character: he was elected to read, not to lead. Well, that's dandy but what about this unemployment and despotic environment polluters?
This article says it.
Louis Riel 'murdered by the Crown,' MP says
Louis Riel, a Metis rebel, was hanged on November 16th, 1885. His role in the Red River Rebellion and his subsequent capture, trial and execution have long been celebrated and reviled in western Canada. His demand for rights for the truly downtrodden in an era of loyalty to an absent and indifferent Crown paint him as heroic. The move to overturn his conviction would, ostensibly, remove the stain of villainy set up on him.
