Our freedoms and security, fought and died for by Canadians and their allies, are under attack. The biggest threats to our freedom are too much government, the eco-lobby, and censors posing as human rights commissions. Our biggest security threat is Islam.

Sports can suck too: Mats Sundin, former Hero

Here's a guy I thought was classy. Suffered through years of parsimony and neglect from the World's Worst Team Owners TM, aka the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. I know he worked his butt off for the Leafs, but— time passes. It finally dawned on the "profits trump winning" bean counters in the Teachers syndicate that the team needed serious repairs. They start assessing their payroll, and discovered numerous bloated contracts, among them the captain's, which includes a no-trade clause.

So Mats had a choice: dig in his heels, or waive the no-trade clause. If he waived it he could thank Toronto for years of loyalty, knowing he'd be helping to rebuild the team. Then he could negotiate a trade to a potential cup winner. The bonus for his long-suffering fans would have been the draft choices his departure would have earned. He dug in his heels, mumbling about loyalty. Now he's considering offers from other teams anyway. So the end result is the same: he's gone, except Mats' way meant nothing in return for the fans who supported him all these years.

Thanks for the sour taste Mats. You're gazing at greener pastures but we're still living in uselessville.

Voters: unqualified decision makers

The biggest defect of democracy is that anyone can vote.

Sounds scary, but only if you think like a cow in a herd. In the working (non-government) world, no one pays for advice from unqualified people. We seek out experts, those who are familiar with our situation or problem. To do otherwise would be seen as misguided and ridiculous. Yet when it comes to assessing the country/province/state's situation, we let morons and the politically ignorant help make the decision. Why then not let our pets vote? If a person who knows nothing about the issues gets to make a decision about it, how does that make for good results?

If common sense finally trumped our "one caveman, one vote" approach, we would at the very least require that every voter could correctly answer some basic questions about the issues in their election.

If you know nothing about the issues, your vote is less than worthless, because you in your ignorance may vote for the worst candidate. Everyone knows that our politicians pander to ignorance; that's why governments tend to be far less helpful than they could be and far more intrusive and meddlesome than they ought to be.

Recap III

1. To solve the defects in our mental health system, we need to end the state sponsored insanity of allowing those afflicted to reject proven, humane treatment. I have no idea where we should care for them but I do know that it wouldn't take me very long to fire enough government paper pushers to find the money for it.

2. Lawyering and politics is a conflict of interest. Sorry.

3. The Teachers Pension Plan of Ontario has drained taxpayers of resources while taking on the appearance of a benign independent business. They have delivered mediocre results and opposed accountability in their core responsibility, education. Now they want to own your telephone service.

The rest:

[June 20/08 update: The Supremes denied the claim from bondholders that they were getting shafted. The Teachers now own Bell. Just f-ing great. They deliver mediocre results in the classroom, their primary responsibility, they perpetuate mediocrity in MLSE (to the annual disappointment of Leafs fans), and now they are going to bring all this cutting-edge mediocrity to our phone company. Like Bell's service is so good now that they (and we) can live through the Teacher's bean-counter method of customer service. Darn it.]

4. The animal rights community is being overwhelmed by an anti-human cult that threatens our culture and way of life.

5. Environmentalism is the new communism.

7. The term "Islamaphobia" is Muslim propaganda created by Muslims to excuse their violent excesses and to put us on the defensive if we complain about them. We ARE afraid of them, for many very good reasons. Phobias describe imaginary threats; the threat radical Islam poses is VERY real. They think they can murder 3000 people at one time, threaten the world on a daily basis, and we just need to get used to it.

8. Oil speculators artificially raise the price of oil and gasoline, irrespective of demand.

9. My first Hall of Shame member is Khurrum Awan, technically a Canadian, who demands that our country, Canada, submit to his hurt feelings and make special allowances for the culture of the country he or his parents left behind yet want to impose upon us. How dare he demand that we submit to his wishes (but how Islamic).

The rest:

10. Native Canadians are no better or more honourable than we are. They have cultivated an image of themselves being some kind of benign race that was taking care of things just wonderfully until us nasty Europeans arrived. The truth is that they were just as preoccupied with war and conquest as any other race is or was. If they had somehow found gunpowder before Europeans arrived, they would have perfected killing each other and been more than ready and able to slaughter the new arrivals (us). Their violent territorial wars give lie to any claim of cohesive stewardship, much less ownership, of Canada prior to the Europeans' arrival. They fought over the land with each other, then another party joined the fray. We simply had gunpowder and they didn't.

Holier than us: The Myth of Native Innocence

If you don't read beyond the superficial headlines and classroom stories, you can grow up in Canada thinking that prior to the Europeans, our country was occupied by benign, monk-like societies, each living in perfect harmony with their neighbours. How wrong that is.

Here is a page one (#4) return when I googled "Hurons vs Iroquois", which is one of the better known examples of pre-European, native aggression.

http://www.tolatsga.org/hur.html

And here are several outtakes, each mentioning the warlike conditions in North America before us "imperialist" white devils arrived.

"In like manner, each of the Huron villages managed its own internal affairs. These villages varied in size, but the larger ones were usually fortified and had populations well over 1,000. Fortification and large size probably resulted from the region's constant warfare, but the densely populated villages and large communal bark-covered longhouses (sometimes 200' long) made the Huron vulnerable to European epidemics. In most ways, the Huron lifestyle closely resembled that of the Iroquois. Beginning around 1100, the Iroquian people in this region began large-scale agriculture. A dramatic increase in population followed which, unfortunately, was accompanied by a similar increase in organized warfare. The Huron diet relied heavily on agriculture (corn at first, with beans, squash, and tobacco added later). It was supplemented by hunting, fishing and gathering. Villages had to be relocated every 20 years or so as the fertility of local soil declined..."

"After fifty years of wandering to escape the Iroquois, the Tionontati constituted the largest single group of the Wyandot..."

"While the Iroquois generally fought with their neighbors, the Huron had good relations with many of theirs through a pattern of trade which extended north through the Ottawa and Nipissing to the Ojibwe at Sault Ste. Marie. The rivalry and warfare which existed between the Huron and Iroquois before the arrival of the French was balanced by extensive trade. However, warfare was pervasive enough that it had caused the rival confederations to group their large, fortified villages into compact areas for mutual support. No borders existed in the European sense, with most of the lands in between the relatively compact areas of occupation either being shared or disputed, depending on the circumstances..."

"Unfortunately for the French and their hopes for the fur trade, the St. Lawrence west of Quebec was a war zone and had been this way for at least 50 years before their arrival. It was a disputed area claimed by the Iroquois, Huron, Algonkin, and Montagnais..."

----------

You can criticize the authenticity of this Google page one hit. The fact is that the Iroquois and other Asians that got here before Europeans did were quite comfortable with killing their neighbours.

The fact also is that when we ignore the censorship taught by our liberal, politically correct media and educators, the people here before the Europeans were just as belligerent and cruel as any population on earth. They have no claim to being without violent chapters in their history. For some reason, though, your average pundit in this field likes to portray Europeans as the first EVER to kill someone else.

It is a truism that some holier-than-thou natives and their apologists in this country make a damn good living pretending that they, our fellow Canadians from Asia, were all smiles and chuckles until Europeans came along. The fact is they were as brutal to their own kind as any culture ever was. Unfortunately for them, Europeans found gunpowder before they did.

-----------

Here's a curious bit I found while researching inter-aboriginal/native warfare- what appears to be a legitimate website discussing the relative brain sizes of early North Americans. Hmmm.... what would the reaction be by Canada's bleeding hearts if a white-focused website said this? The thing is that I agree with their right to discuss this. It's very sad to know that if I or another white person said this, we'd be drawn and quartered by our clay-footed intelligentsia, even though we would be right. Sometimes the hypocrisy reeks.

Khurrum Awan: Anti Christ or just Anti Canada?

The story in today's National Post of this Khurrum Awan clown spewing threats toward me and my country got my anger button white hot.

How in God's name (not Allah's) do we tolerate this level of hate for Canada? Pretty ironic that a dickhead whining about his hurt feelings and using our imbecilic human wrongs commissions to do it, then turns around and threatens us! Are threats not a form of hate? Can someone please launch a complaint against this pathetic moron?

I think he's both anti Christianity and anti Canada (to add to his people's anti Semitism, now accepted as "OK" by the left wing media). He has done nothing in this free speech debate except to demonstrate exactly why these commissions are so dangerous. On top of everything else, he's so dimwitted he can't even figure out that he's in hole and digging himself in deeper every time he opens his stupid yapper. Every time this fruitcake speaks now, he reinforces why we distrust him and his people. Instead of being grateful to be in Canada and not the hellhole his parents came from he's biting the hands that feed him.

AND he has completely forgotten 9/11. I have NOT. His people still have WAY more atoning and apologizing to do for that, never mind shooting your mouth off like you own the country.

The Post story starts out "Muslims 'must demand'...". This is Awan's approach to his new country. Demand! How dare he threaten me. I will fight back in self defense, Awan.

Canadians, pretty please wake the f--k up! Awan the tyrant and his friends are a threat to all of you, but especially your children. If he and his fellow thin skinned belligerent, mini dictators can toss us around with stupid left wing hate laws now, imagine how much fun we'll have when they start to outnumber us.

The last part of the Post story quotes Awan as saying:

"It is the first time that the Muslim community has filed a complaint, and suddenly this is a big national issue," he said.

And that's where he'd be dead wrong. Muslims have been a national issue ever since they incinerated 3000 innocent people on 9/11. Time to stfu sock puppet.

Oil Speculators are a Serious Problem

It is finally dawning on even the dullest of the left wing media population that there is no actual connection between supply and demand as reflected in today's oil prices.

For years our economically illiterate left wing media has cheerfully regurgitated the lies proffered by so-called experts in the energy industry as to why gas happens to go up in price before increased demand even happens, such as before long weekends.

I blame speculators, as do an increasing number of honest observers. Speculators have perverted the concept of free markets in a never ending, leech-like attempt to profit from a basic necessity. The main reason for this is that they are allowed to control product prices without assuming the full risk. Our ridiculous commodities system (NYMEX being the worst example) allows them to control markets without actually buying and selling the product! I've heard that you (mooching brokerage houses) can control oil contracts for less than five percent of the actual value of the oil. What is up with this? Playing with the value of a basic human necessity? Why don't they mess with orange juice futures like this? Because we could do without and tell them to go f--k themselves, that's why.

I sincerely hope there is a special place in hell for these people.

Wait a second, you say— free markets are the best way to determine prices! Well, I agree- they are, when the market is truly free. But it isn't. The commodities market is an exclusive club of ultra huge trading funds that can make a profit (and do) on four decimal places. The worst part is that these moochers, who do not actually create wealth but live off the avails of others, think they are actually valuable. They'll brag about the way they increase shareholder value while their shareholders go bankrupt from the artificially high oil prices they have created.

Speculators do not produce wealth. They are a tax on wealth creation. Oil speculators are people who make their living by exploiting the demand for a basic necessity without having the balls to actually assume the risks of buying and selling the product.

The sooner we close this leech loophole the better. Make these freeloaders earn profits the honest way, by trading the product itself, not some Frankenstein-like bullshit facsimile.

Fear of Muslims is Justified

Right now Muslims are attempting to punish and censor free speech in Canada. This is just the latest in a decades-old trend whereby immigrants are encouraged, and by now feel free, to set up shop here and then begin to demand changes.

In British Columbia, Muslim lawyers from Ontario are currently trying to censure Maclean's magazine and by extension Mark Steyn for an article that suggested that Muslims will eventually outnumber us and that our culture as we now know it will not survive. They are using our own bleeding heart, white guilt, left wing laws to exact punishment on those Canadians who would dare offend Muslims. These ungrateful whiners are not satisfied to be welcomed into the greatest country in the world. No, they insist upon demanding that we not only accept their dim view of our heritage, but that we must also erode our laws of free speech to suit them.

They say Maclean's and Steyn have (or might have!) exposed them or someone to hate. They want free publishing rights and they want money. Well guess what, sock puppets— Your people, your fellow Muslims did this to you, not us. They gave you this bad reputation! Time for you people to admit that you have a lot of bad apples in your family tree. Certainly NOT time to come to my country and complain that I don't like your suicide bombers.

The world started hating you people when your people started blowing up innocent people to further your causes. In case you hadn't noticed, we non-Muslims don't appreciate your overblown, self important grievances!

I hope some imam doesn't order MY head chopped off for saying this.

What's that you say? You didn't murder 3000 people on 9/11? No, you didn't. But neither did any other group in this world except yours.

Damn. One would think that if you were a Muslim in Canada you'd shut the f--- up, realize how lucky you are to be here, and also remember that your people have YEARS of atoning to catch up on for what your people have done and continue to do to the world. And maybe thank your god that we aren't deporting all of your whining, complaining, security-threatening asses.

Every time the media calls one of these bitching, complaining, UNGRATEFUL people a Canadian, I cringe.

Obama: What a mistake

I pay attention to US politics because as America goes, so do we, especially economically. If a US presidential candidate comes along who sees government as the best answer to every challenge a country faces, I worry. If they rely on nothing but vacuous platitudes and a smooth voice like Obama, I worry more.

Obama is the Democratic presidential candidate tonight because he's black. Not because he's the best choice, but because the craven Democratic power structure decided that a black nominee was the best bet to retake the White House. They fawned over female (Hillary) for a while, then decided that two Republican victories in a row meant bringing out the heavy artillery. What a plan— after all, if you criticize a black candidate now, you're automatically a racist. Their guy gets guaranteed immunity from criticism because of colour. One thing these tools forgot to think about though, was their manchurian candidate's choice of friends. I still think this will spoil their plans:

How can you go to church for twenty years and NOT know your pastor is a white hating lunatic?

How can you EVER make friends with someone who bombed your government?

How could anyone want the leader of their country to have friends like that?

Oh, his friends don't matter, lefties say. Pay attention to his message, they say. What message? The word 'change' is not a substitute for real policy, of which his blackness has none.

Obama and the rest of the left are offering nothing but empty words and bull poop, served fresh from their never ending compost heap of failed ideals.

First Communism, then Socialism, now Environmentalism

Over the last 25 years we've witnessed the philosophical defeat of two of history's three greatest modern scourges, communism and socialism. The third great scourge is environmentalism.

For a while after Ronald Reagan broke communism's backbone into fragments, it was calmer and safer in the world. For a time, all we had to think about regarding Russia was how various internal factions were carving the country up like some piece of meat, not which state they would next threaten, invade or starve.

Some still call the Chinese government communists, but they are really more like pragmatic parasites infecting ordinary people with their failed poisons. If they say "we hate France" on China's news (which they did recently) it's not unlike the Two Minute Hate from Orwell's 1984. They are like scientists that dole out permits and certificates as though they were vitamins, and all the recipients mere lab animals. Sad, very sad.

Socialism has proved a resilient foe to freedom and common sense. I think it's because it preys on everyone's inherent good nature and desire to help. But people have gradually begun to realize that no matter how much we care, or how much we give, socialists tell us it's not enough. The poverty industry has worked tirelessly, with the assistance of unionized, collective-thinking government bureaucrats to convince us that if we just give them more money, they'll solve all the problems we face. Right.

And now we have environmentalism. Not happy with communism's forced-labour approach to nirvana? Not pleased about socialism's alternative, forced-labour-via-punishing-taxes method? Well, we've got something that's sure to scratch your itch to give. Join the EnVIronmentaLISTS! They are the ONLY people who care about the earth, after all.

Not throwing trash out the car window was a good idea. Not pouring oil into the sewer was even better. But now we have an all out assault on our lives by socialists who claim all knowledge and concern for the earth against the onslaught of non believers like you and me. Now the air we exhale is toxic, and besides, there's too damn many humans anyway!

Environmentalism is socialism wrapped in sheeps' clothing. It is based on a never ending list of things that they want our governments to stop us from doing. Day in, day out, evilists dream up more things we can't do, and more ways for government to punish and tax us for what we're still allowed to do. Which brings us to the acme of socialism's guilty-by-living approach, Global Warming, or as the evilists sometimes say just to confuse things, Man-Made Climate Change. Environmentalism is biggest the threat to modern, free, democratic societies since the gulag. There is some hope, though. Ordinary people are beginning to smell the rat.

Ever since Michael Mann's hockey-stick graph was proven to be a lie the cat's been squirming out of the bag. Day after day they get another fact wrong and have to revise their "theories". If there was a hall of fame for the most times wrong by a philosophy, environmentalism and its evilists would win in a walk. The biggest challenge the rest of world has to face is how to expose the fact that first and foremost, environmentalism is all about is world income redistribution.

How do you spell wealth transfer? Here's three ways: "Kyoto Accord", "global warming", and "climate change". A gigantic transfer of wealth from the developed democracies to the rest of the world. Nothing more, nothing less, and they don't really care because the point for socialists is controlling lives.
