G20 & G8

To the black clothed morons “protesting” the G20 gathering in Toronto, I have a question. What are you protesting? Starbucks? Tim Hortons? Ford? As far as I can see, you’ve broken windows of non-governmental companies and torched a couple Crown Vics. If you have a problem with those evil multinational corporations, you’re a bit early on Timmies (face it, being open in both Canada and the US isn’t multinational, anymore than Waterloo regional International airport is International because it has flights to Detroit or New York).
I don’t have a problem with protesters, if they are actually protesting and have a point to make. Go for it. And if you’re being abused, marginalized, or threatened by governmental agencies bent on destroying your right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (yes, that’s Yankee speak, occasionally they get something right) then by all means, target the physical representation of your oppression and torch a cop car. But if you believe, (as you obviously do) that you are in the right, and all it takes is for you to take a stand and the whole world will fall in behind you, take off your mask.
If you truly believe your actions are the correct actions, you have nothing to fear. If you are in the right, the world will rise up and protect you from fascist courts and police, and you will serve no jail time. So why the masks? Is it because you know your position isn’t rational or right? Or is it because you’re spoiled children, trying to get back at mom and dad by doing something destructive before you come home for dinner, and you don’t want to get caught.

Yeah, I thought so. Cowards.

Wishing I Believed in God

We were hit with a family tragedy on Wednesday the 29th, when our (not yet) three year old Calico, Sashenka, suddenly died. Times like this I envy those with faith. This may seem strange coming from a Recovering Catholic, and a devout Atheist, but let me explain. My belief system is strange, a combination of Nietzschean thought and Neo-pagan theory. I’m still not certain how I reconcile the two. What I do know is that I cannot conceive of an intelligent force that oversees, or once oversaw all of creation. No divine watchmaker, no sign of Aristotle’s Prime Mover can be found in my world view. But I wish it could be, just for a little while. Just so I could rage against something for the injustice of taking from me one of the few things on this ball of shit we call earth that matter a damn to me. To steal from me the feeling that everything was looking up. That the weekend prior was the beginning of a new chapter.
I was riding so high after the Jeff Martin concert (as were many at the concert I suspect : ) and three days later I was cradling the still warm but unnaturally limp body of my little princess, my best friend, in my arms. “Just one of those things” doesn’t seem to cover the cry in my soul for explanation. But what else have I got? As a Nietzschean, God is dead, life is what we as individuals make of it. As a Pagan, there is a force that exists, a world spirit as such, but it is not intelligent, it simply is. I have no where to channel my anger and frustration. And so I wish I did have faith in an all powerful God, so I could dedicate my life to tearing it down. Even this is denied me.
So instead I take solace in the two years I had with my little sweet-pea, hope that she felt the same, and muddle through meaningless days, and too quiet nights.

Scum sucking bastards at it again

No, not Bell Canada this time. The Lieberals and the Nude Democrats. Fucking lefties. For all those out there saying “The majority didn’t vote for the Conservatives” I’ve got news for you. The Majority hasn’t voted in a government in 15 years. Chretien never had one, Martin sure as hell didn’t. So shove it. (in fact, the last government to win the popular vote was John Diefenbaker in 1958) In addition, I don’t believe a government has ever been formed by the second and third place parties when they didn’t have as many seats as the first place party. Why? Because it can’t work. The Conservatives have 143 seats, the SSBCPoLC (Scum Sucking Bastard Coalition of Leftist Canada) has 113. See the problem. How do they solve it, by getting the so trustworthy Separatist party of Quebec (Bloc for those who want me to use real titles instead of labels) to promise to not vote against them to bring them down until at least 2010.
Great, except what if Duceppe pulls a Dion and just doesn’t show up to vote on some motions? Boom. And that’s why a coalition government needs a majority. But now that Dion and Layton have revealed they would get into be with Duceppe, they’re fucked. The Canadian public won’t stand for it.
So am I upset? Not at all. I hope it goes through. And they waste $30 billion on “economic stimulus” (IE Liberal ad agencies in Quebec) and the economy plummets. Then next election, we’ll have a real majority and a real government. But unlike the Conservatives, who rebuilt after their terrible showing in 1993 the Lieberals and NDP will just fade away. Or, at least that’s what would happen in a perfect world. In this one, well, there’s still the loony left base in Toronto.

Canadian Media King dies… and creepy shit happens.

Seriously, is this guy that powerful? For those that don’t know, since I moved in August I have benefited from FREE cable. Apparently Rogers Communications failed to disconnect it when the last people moved out. Well, today Ted Rogers died. And shortly afterward, my cable was cut off. Even dead the fucker can’t let a thing get past him. Be warned, as an omnipotent spirit the ghost of Ted Rogers will track you down and disconnect cable, destroy your descramblers, and rack up minutes on your cell phone. Be afraid, be very afraid. RIP Ted…. and leave us alone!

Health Dept. Cautions Cocain users in Alberta… Cocaine may be hazardous to your Health

WTF?!?! Are you serious? Who doesn’t know that? Oh wait, there’s more. Apparently some unscrupulous drug dealers (is there another kind) have cut the coke with a chemical that can result in an AIDS like immune problem so in response the health Dept. has asked that any cocaine users that develop a high fever report to a doctor at once. WHY? They did the drug, suffer the consequences. Fuck’em. Why the hell should non-druggie tax dollars go to help these screwballs? They’ve totally screwed up their immune systems, they’re euchred. Let ‘em go. Do not collect $200 dollars. If you help them and cure them, or even treat them, the drug dealers won’t learn. Didn’t we learn anything from the uproar over the bank bail-out? It’s the same thing. The Drug Dealers have to learn to be responsible. If they kill their clients, they shouldn’t expect a handout. If they get it, what’s to prevent GM from asking for one? I ask you.

It’s called ‘Black Monday’ for a reason

Yesterday was the day that American businesses get into the black and start making a profit. In New York, on Long Island and in Queen’s, its Black Monday for another reason. Because the family of a Wal-Mart employee are now faced with the unpleasant task of planning his funeral. That’s because of this that’s right, a guy was trampled to death by people who broke down the door of a wal-mart at 5AM in a rush for Christmas deals. In addition a pregnant woman and several others were injured. When Wal-Mart announced the store was being closed due to the death, many ‘customers’ (read: psycho fuckwads) complained, saying they’d been lined up since Thursday morning and deserved to shop.
Two comments; first, who the fuck are you buying christmas gifts for if you were sitting outside a Wal-mart for all of Thanksgiving? and second WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?
Now Canadian’s say “well, that’s the yanks for ya”. Well, I got news for you. We ain’t far off. Working at a Canadian Retailer who’s name I won’t mention (but they do sell TIRES), I was witness to Moonlight Madness (apt name were the sky not cloud covered that fateful night) which, once settled upon the normally simply rude and disrespectful customer base led to the pulling down of a shelf loaded with 199 piece socket sets, another shelf loaded with cordless drills, both of which landed on other customer’s heads, the punching in the face of an elderly woman who had grabbed the last deep fryer off the shelf (it was subsequently torn from her grip) and the most horrible of all, a LARGE man belly flopping onto a skid full of pressure washers. This most horrible, because I was the unfortunate assigned to reveal the pressure washers at 10 pm. Thankfully all those psychos were punished by long lines and an Elvis impersonator. That’s my rant, Christmas sucks, People suck, People at Christmas sales suck a lot. The End…. bah humbug. PS, if anyone sees a good price on an external hard disk, hook me up.

Cat Nuking Bastards Update Update

As of Friday, a decision in the Cat Nuking Case has been handed down.  A year’s probabtion and a two year ban on owning pets.  GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  CAN WE PLEASE ELECT JUDGES IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!

Election Fever

It’s that time again boys and girls.  Time for the small percentage of us responsible citizens to get excited about the future, the changes that can be made with a new mandate and the wonderful possibilities that lay ahead for a Canada run by a responsible government.  And time for those of you that don’t fall into the above category to bitch about how all parties are the same, how it’s a waste of tax dollars and how you don’t care who wins anyways, but you’ll vote, because your mommy always votes liberal.  ARGH!.  Seriously, there should be a test on the ballot.  If you can’t name at the very least all the major party leaders (NDP, Conservatives, Liberals, and Bloc Quebecois) your ballot is spoilled.  I don’t get these people who complain when poller turnout is low (only 65%!). Good, that means that some of the dumbasses that don’t care and don’t know what their doing didn’t show up to pick a random name.  If you don’t follow the issues, you don’t get to have a say.  Simple as that, or at least it should be.  And for all you people who say “I’m afraid of harper, so I’m voting Liberal” have you looked at their leader lately.

As for the Greens getting into the debate, THEY DON’T HAVE AN ELECTED MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.  The debates are too short as it is.  If she’s in, Duceppe should be out of the English debate.

Cat Nuking Bastards Update

The Court has delayed sentencing to allow time for a psych evaluation in the two inhuman pieces of shit that put Princess in a microwave for ten minutes.  I’ll evaluate them, G-Mote bay style.  Who’s got a water-board? Here’s an artist’s conception of the “evaluation”

Me, pouring water on piece of shit’s face – “Are you a piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to live?”

Him “Glub Glub”

Me still pouring water on piece of shit’s face – “What’s that?”

Him “Glub gluuuub cough sputter, shudder, silence”

Me “Oops, oh well, saved us a hundred bucks a day in taxes”

Tasers – What’s the big deal?

So, once again the CBC and leftist media is up in arms over tasers.  This time a 17 year old in Winnipeg was tasered by the “evil ones in blue”.  Comments on the CBC website are overwhelmingly condemning of the police, accusing them of being “murderers” and saying that they are worse than criminals.  THE KID HAD A FUCKING KNIFE!!!!!  He was breaking into cars, was followed by two concerned citizens who called the police and when confronted and ordered to submit to arrest pulled a knife on the cops.  In danger for their lives, they shot their taser at him.  What the hell do you expect them to do?  Knit him a sheath for the fucking knife?  If they had shot him the lefties would be screaming about unnecessary force. Honestly, what should they have done. If I have a device that is 99.5% non-lethal and someone coming at me with a device that is quite clearly lethal, I’m going to use mine first. His mother and her lawyer think it was racial profiling. HE WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED (no pun intended) HOW IS THAT PROFILING? Next we’ll have to let those with dynamite strapped to them in the form of a vest pass as it would be profiling to arrest or detain all people loaded with explosives. My best wishes to the officers involved in this case, may they be vindicated, promoted, have their tasers taken away, and shoot to kill next time.
