Oh, Canada, eh
On the site I have a category called Mocking and a subcategory from that called Canada. Why? Because it’s there. I live in one of the few areas of the United States ever invaded by a foreign power. I can stand on the shore of Lake Ontario, turn my gaze north towards Toronto, raise my fist and shout “Damn you, ya limey bastards! We’ll get you for that!” Two hundred years isn’t too long to carry a grudge. Many of us locals are getting our revenge, however. We get on the bus or drive on over to Casino Niagara and leave our devalued dollars in their Canadian slot machines. Take that, you hosers, take our devalued dollars! The joke’s on you… Now, I have written glowingly about the actions of the Canadian military … Read entire article »
Fussing
We had snow today in Rochester, the first real snow of the season. Not enough to accumulate, but it may overnight. I still remain disgusted and dismayed about the actions of the Senate Republican leadership. What’s worse, they don’t seem to realize that they’re trampling all over their base. My appendix seems to be cranky again. I cannot afford to take the time nor spend the money until January so I’m going to “gut” it out until then. Then, there’s my teeth. Don’t get me started. I didn’t have the money to finish the sedation dentistry I started a couple of years ago and now I realize that perhaps, just perhaps, I should have. Everything’s broken or unused. Sad but true. Everyone is opining about this OSM thing. I wasn’t recruited [yet another instance … Read entire article »

Canada: where life is not so miserable
I stopped picking on Canada a while ago. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. This story, however, calls for my attention. It’s about Americans, leftists all, moving to Canada to escape the oppression and Christianity. Independent News & Media (UK) Ltd. Most Americans who have already made the move to Canada – and there are up to one million now living there – appear to have only good things to say about their new home. The internet blogger Inspector Lohmann dedicates much of his website to details of his emigration from San Francisco to Toronto, a move he made last year. The inspector, who prefers to use his blog name, works in the film industry. Lohmann, from New England, has no regrets. In one blog entry, he wrote: “When I crossed … Read entire article »

Canada… Bite Me, Eh!
Fox Hi, I’m Bill O’Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight. Hating America. That is the subject of this evening’s “Talking Points Memo.” According to a new poll, 40 percent of Canadian teenagers think America is an evil country. Among French-Canadian teens, the number jumps to 64 percent. Those numbers can be laid right on the doorstep of the Canadian media and government As you may know, the FOX News Channel is not allowed in Canada, but CNN is. Fair and balanced? You decide. The USA takes a relentless pounding from many Canadian news organizations and from the liberal government. So, what can we expect from the kids? They’re not getting a full picture. And neither is most of the world. Increasingly, the bully America is being portrayed … Read entire article »

Canada, the Spoons Experience
Spoons I have just a few thoughts I’d like to share about the fascinating developments in the Canadian election yesterday…. Just kidding. Seriously, I can’t think of anything less interesting than which tribe of trained monkeys is in charge of the fifth-rate country to our North. Move along, there’s nothing to see here. … Read entire article »

Society: Electrical Power Resources
Via el Jefe, Glenn: Map, North American Power Grids 1965 Blackout History New York City Blackout of 1977 Real time Graph, Connecticutt Valley electrical load This is formally BASH CANADA DAY! The first thing the Canadian Government found to do was to blame the Americans for the power failure. The office of the Canadian prime minister, Jean Chretien, initially said the power problems were caused by lightning in New York State but later retracted that. Canadian officials later expressed uncertainty about the exact cause but continued to insist the problem began on the United States side of the border. NY Times Blow me, Prime Minister Cretin! You head a third world government. The Dominican Republic puts your government to shame. You cannot defend your own borders. Your armed forces are in a state of collapse.

SARS: Pays Very Well
Judas H. Priest, I’m Astonished! Earlier Wednesday, Mr. Clement said the government will cover the cost of doubling pay for health-care workers on SARS duty at four Toronto hospitals. Mr. Clement said the government supports the move to increase compensation for front-line workers but did not endorse requests from other health workers in hospitals dealing with SARS that they get more money as well. Mr. Clement said the four hospitals, which have formed an alliance to combat the SARS outbreak, are a “special case.” “That has to be recognized as such and that has to be remunerated as such.” Nurses combating SARS have been particularly unhappy that agency temps brought in to help in the fight are being paid at a premium. The new hospital deal would pay nurses at the top end of the … Read entire article »

Canada Cashes In
November 29th, 2005 | 1 Comment
I know, I know. I promised to stop mocking Canada because they were doing so well for themselves. This time, however, they have it coming. The ruling party in the Canadian Parliment has lost a vote of “no confidence” and there will be new elections for the lower house in January. Why did this happen? Were I a Canadian I could not legally tell you. There has been an on-going investigation of corruption within the ruling party for some time. The judge in the matter, as is allowed under Canadian law, has kept nearly the entire investigation, testimony, etc. secret. The Canadian press as well as individual Canadians are forbidden from publishing or broadcasting this material. But, dammit, we’re Americans! If it’s not specificly forbidden, it’s allowed. Even then, we have a stiff … Read entire article »
