Cruel But Fair: Today is Vimy Ridge Day

Today is Vimy Ridge Day

Today we remember a day when Canadian soldiers attacked and took a seemingly impregnable obstacle during World War I. It was the first time that Canada's soldiers had all fought together. From April 9, the day the attack began, through April 12, almost four thousand brave Canadians made the supreme sacrifice. They did it for us and our freedom, and they must never be forgotten. God bless them and all Canadian soldiers, past and present.

These photos are from our visit to Vimy in 2006, during the restoration of the monument for 2007, the 90th anniversary. We didn't see the actual monument this day, but our emotions were tested just the same.

Bottom of the Canadian Political Barrel

2013 Update

The Liar Dalton McGuinty quit his job not long before a huge spending scandal gathered full steam. His party the Liberals/Fiberals had a private meeting and appointed a new premier for us without an election. She was one of his minions (ministers) but denies knowing anything about anything, including the scandal.

New List for 2011/2012

1. The NDP.

They will always be economic disasters, because of their uncontrollable need to tax and spend. Now 60% of their members are from Quebec, and a lot of them being elected by voters who used to support the separatist Bloc Quebecois. That happened because Jack Layton (now deceased) told voters in Quebec that he supported tougher language laws).

2012 Update: their support in Quebec is dropping like a stone. Quebecers voted NDP to piss off the Bloc, not because they liked Jack Layton.

2013 Update: Their new Head Pinhead is Thomas (not "Tom" like a real Canadian should say it) Mulcair. He just finished stabbing his fellow Canadians in the back by going to the USA and telling them that the Keystone pipeline was a bad idea. He's worse than incompetent, he's another self-hating socialist that wants to be powerful while f--king with your future.

2. Dalton McGuinty

This is the zombie politician. It doesn't matter how much credibility and respect gets hacked off the man, he just keeps coming and coming. Mouth breathing city voters, unions, teachers, and the rest of the moochers managed to keep him in power in this year's election, albeit with now a very slim minority government.

2012 He remains taxpayer enemy #1 in Ontario

2013 Update:

This man put Ontario deeper in debt than ever while his boot licking bureaucrats created scandal after scandal, including eHealth, Ornge, and finally cancelled power plants (cancelled to save his party, not to do what was right for Ontario).

Then the coward resigned, suspended the government, and anointed an even FURTHER left sycophant of his to replace him as Premier. No votes, no problem. That's the left; child-like rule changing is standard equipment.

He's GOT to rank as the worst Premier Ontario's ever had.

Original list with updates below:

Dec 2010 updates in red

May 2011 updates in Conservative blue

1. Jack Layton:

pinko idiot/socialist mooch (holding steady)(Now the Official Leader of the Opposition, the New Demoochcratic Party)

2012 Now dead

2. Stephan Dion:

Green freak, enforced retirement from combat (will be off next year's list)(In a delicious twist of irony, he keeps his seat in 2011 while Ignatieff loses his)

2012 Actually defended Canada the other day.

3. Bob Rae:

economy wrecker, Sri Lankan deportee (still a big brain socialist)(Definitely wanted Iggy's job but now worried about the Liberal toxic waste cleanup)

2012 Love the new attack ads reminding people the disaster he created in Ontario as Premier in the 90's

4. Gilles Duceppe:

Should be deported from Canada for treason (still a traitor)(No need to deport- he lost his seat and can now shrivel away)

2012 Still a traitor and bloodsucker. Sadly Quebecers seem to be drifting back to this blackmailer's party

5. Michael Ignatieff:

Thinks he's God's gift to Canada (still irrelevant)(Now also NOT the Liberal leader- back to Hah-vad with you!)

2012 Gone from politics but still yapping for money

6. Dalton McGuinty, aka Norman Bates:

Mr Tax Increase. Can find Canada on a world map (still running Ontario's economy into the ground. I think he may have been worse for Ontario than Rae was). We can finally get rid of this super sized socialist next fall.

2012 Update: Thanks to the preponderance of liberal morons and immigrants in Toronto, he squeaked back in with a one-seat majority. The rest of Ontario needs to separate from Toronto.

2012 Fall update: Under pressure from the buildup of scandals, the coward resigns and then prorogues the government to avoid investigations and charges of contempt. A complete disaster for Ontario's economy; he took the nanny state to new lows and robbed us of one freedom after another.

Dalton McGuinty: Worst Ontario Premier Ever.

7. David Miller:

Presently destroying Toronto (update: not running for re-election!) (He's out, and Rob Ford is in. Ford's mandate is to undo the financial carnage from letting liberals control the money for so long.)

2012 David Who???
