A Life, Lived

Finally

Yes, being a good person matters again. Finally.

The World is Still Anxiously Waiting

The Ontario Government

Sadly, this editorial cartoon is a true representation of the things our current government is focused on . . .

Truth . . .

VOTE

Tomorrow is election day in Canada. The campaign has been notable for its nastiness and for how close the popular vote. Frankly, I and I suspect a whole lot of other Canadians just want it to be done so we can all move on.

The most important thing that someone can do in a democracy is to vote. Don't forget . . . .

Remember this on October 21st

Canada heads to the polls on October 21st.

Remember this . . .

Let's Hope This is True!

Doug Ford has been the best possible warning to Canadians about the new Republican/Conservative movement in Canada.

Today's Ontario . . .

It Gets to be too Much at Times . . .

There are times I wish I wasn't able to read. Being confronted with the barrage of ridiculous news is just too much to take. Of course, the CNN effect (where news is available 24/7) hasn't helped. Now we are surrounded by a barrage of news media - you can not turn on the TV, your computer, or access your phone without being confronted with another story that makes you shake your head.

Takes yesterday for example. Britain is careening out of control with a Brexit deal that no one really wants and Canadian Conservative leader Andrew Scheer comments them for it. Pundit Andrew Coyne wrote:

It would be hard to imagine a more hideous train wreck than the steaming pile of metal, flesh and bone Britain has made of its departure from the European Union. By the time all the bodies have been bagged and tagged, Brexit’s victims may include, not only the country’s membership in the EU, but also the access to other countries’ markets it enjoys thereby, and the union with Scotland and Northern Ireland besides.

So of course Scheer supports it, yet again proving he is unfit to be elected the town dog catcher let alone the Canadian Prime Minister.

Then he is followed by Donald Trump who finally visited the California wildfire zones. He already said that the people of California were to blame for the worst fire in state history with more than 60 dead, 1000 missing, and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed. It was no wonder that many Californians were not looking forward to his visit.

 . . . and then it gets worse.

While touring one burn site he observed that if the people had just raked the leaves from the forest the risk of fires would be far less.

Again he blamed the victims. . . and said something really, really, really stupid.

It is hard to fathom how this imbecile has the codes to the US nuclear arsenal at his beck and call.

This is just a wee sample of the things in the news that are making my head explode. Really I could sit here all day and type more . . .

Political Jokes

Today is the municipal election in Ontario. It is important that people get out and vote . . . but please don't vote for any political jokes . . .
