Not Poliver's Fault

At this point, I really don't know what Poliver could do to reclaim his lead. (Yesterday, my son told me he was going to vote for Poliver.)

Poliver had it in the bag, except for two events. One was the resignation of CockSocker Boy. This is exactly what I meant when I warned people, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. And we did. A whole new face on the Liberal Party which, to the naive, means '𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚.' And the SockCucking legacy media is milking it for all it's worth. They don't want to lose their subsidies.

C𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚? Like fuock. Carney is Liberal fascism on steroids. He is going to stick his fist right up Canada's ass.

The second was Trump's incomprehensible attack on free trade. I thought that protectionism had, at least superficially, been thoroughly, and rightfully, discredited. Bastiat tore the protectionist concept to shit in the early part of the 19th century. After 150 years went by, it looked as though the world had caught up with him. I was wrong.

I don't care what anyone says. Poliver is not the guy to blame. He had no control of these changes.

I am naive. When I heard Trump say that he would bring jobs back to the USA, I thought that he meant he would strip the regulatory state to the bone. (See here. And here.) Man, how stupid of me to think that Trump was smart enough to know this stuff. I'm finally starting to dislike Trump. He's just as full of shit as the rest of them.

Fuock.

Burger Mortgages

I have never used Door Dash. I might have used Uber Eats once, about five years ago, in response to some promotion, but not since. My reasons for not using these services are the same as Matt's.

With respect to consumer laziness, here is a prediction I made years ago. Once nanotech has advanced sufficiently, consumers will be able to avail themselves of the convenience of shitting in their own pants. Then all they will need to do is to tap an app, and an army of nanobots will appear from nowhere to clean it all up. Toilet paper users will be maligned with the epithet, 'Luddite.'

Yoga, Relaxation Seen as Solution

How I learned NOT to talk to reporters over the phone.

When this guy asked me what I do for a living, I told him I was a stay-at-home dad at the time, but that I had worked as a chemical technician, and that I was currently working part-time as a cab driver. All true. He chose to go with, 'Unemployed chemical technician.' Technically true, but a smear job nonetheless.

Observe how that came out in his version, plus the fact that he bundled my story in with a bona fide wingnut.

Then when I got a call from Mathew von Dongen about my signing the 'climate emergency' declaration I refused a telephone interview. Instead, I told him to email the questions to me and that I would reply by email. This way, I would have a record of what was actually said vs. what was reported. I guess Joanna Frketich got the assignment. Her report was satisfactory.

Ordering Fried Rice?

Just a brief segment from Pierre Berton's book, "My Country." It provides some perspective on the indigenous way of life, eulogized by present-day media, academics, activists, and politicians.

It is derived from the writings from a guy named Samuel Hearne, who was sent to find a giant copper deposit in Canada's north land.

I am not making any judgments here. It was what it was. I don't judge dogs for their strange obsession with smelling poop, either. Samuel Hearne didn't judge, either.

So far, Pierre Berton seems to have escaped the censors.

His descriptions of the food they ate, and which Hearne learned to eat and enjoy, like raw fish, beaver fetuses, and animal guts, are enough to make you gag. There is a bit of humour where Berton describes how they enjoyed picking the lice out of their hair and clothes and eating them. (You vill eat zee bugs!) Another delicacy was warble flies from rotting flesh. It says Hearne didn't eat the lice and flies because he didn't want to risk acquiring a taste for them, knowing they might be unavailable when he returned home. (or, at least, for another 200+ years.)

If Canada stays on the course it's currently on, we may all learn to enjoy eating lice and warble flies soon enough. To "save the planet."

Ring, ring.

Herro, can I take your Oeder?

Yes, I would like to order some fried rice.

Flied lice?

Do you remember how this anti-tobacco fascism campaign started? I can't remember exactly, but it was somewhere in either the late 1970s or early 1980s.

I was engaged in one of many debates with an anti-smoking Karen I knew, when she pulled out a newly discovered ace in the hole.

"I saw something on TV that said breathing 'second-hand' smoke is just as bad as primary smoking."

At that juncture, I knew exactly two things.

1 - that the claim that passive smoking was just as bad as direct smoking was an absolute crock of shit,

and,

2 - that despite the absurdity of the claim, it would gain traction. I knew the Karen I was debating with very well. She was a domineering narcissistic control freak. Not content with a "live and let live" philosophy, she wanted to live and force others to live in accordance with her preferences. (Though neither of us realized it at the time, she was a perfect exponent of Liberal Party politics.)

It was obvious at the time that this "you're not only harming yourself, you're harming others" schtick would become the MAIN justification for subsequent smoking bans. I would tell friends that before they knew it, smoking in bars would be prohibited. They laughed at me. "That will never happen." It didn't bother me. I knew I was right. I was already well aware that the dominant political philosophy of our time was authoritarian collectivism, (A.K.A. communism, fascism, socialism, Liberalism, A.K.A., wokery.) The trajectory of said philosophy made it easy to predict the future.

Once the control freaks had successfully prohibited smoking on private property to which the public had access they took off their masks. They no longer needed to pretend they were motivated by a desire to protect innocent bystanders from whiffs of ETS and directly proceeded to impose the rest of their narcissistic agenda by banning smoking on patios. And in parks. And now, even on beaches.

Another thing I knew was that it wouldn't end with smoking. The mission would expand to every other aspect of life, from eating meat, to driving a car, to choosing whether to get vaccinated, to the freedom to express opinions. The COVID nightmare was just a dress rehearsal for the type of society woke ideologues crave. All of these predictions have come to pass. It is indisputable.

And here we have a post by a "concerned citizen" advocating participation in something that was common in Nazi Germany. A fucking snitch line! You can't make this shit up.

The control freak mentality will never be satisfied, and will not stop, until every last member of the population has the woke jackboot on their necks.
