I realise that I shouldn't take it personal, but it seems to me that George W.
Bush and Osama Bin Laden must have entered into some sort of weather conspiracy
and we are all being punished as part of a plot. We will have to take sides either
be Americans or fanatical Muslims.
My point being, all that seems trivial, even though its not trivial, when the weather
is so bloody miserable.
Well, I know well that telling you how peeved I am about cold weather does nothing
but get my discomfort out front, complaining almost seems like doing something, but
in reality it isn't. There is nothing what ever I can do about the weather, but there
is a lot that you and I and everyone we know, can do about the conditions facing
our country. Bad social, economic and political conditions are not weather, they
are conditions we have the power to alter. So let's make this simple. Establish the
priorities and do something about it.
First and foremost we who live in Canada are citizens of a sovereign nation. We are
not Americans they rebelled and established their own country in 1776. As citizens
of a rich sovereign nation we do share a border and we do most of our commerce and
trade with the people who live South of us but we remain our own people with laws
and traditions that have created a very distinct society here.
The Americans practice Imperialism, they have purchased most of the wealth in our
country and pursue a determined plan to get what little there is left. We can not
blame the Americans for being Americans they are and always will be the same kind
of whiskey traders and thieves that the Northwest Mounted Police were sent
out here to clean up and preserve a place for Canadians. Our enemy is Canadians who
live in all parts of the country but mostly in Alberta and Ontario
who do not understand the  difference and who want us to become Americans. People like Paul Martin
who thinks we should use American money, people like Ralph Klein who thinks
universal medical care is some form of communism, people like Brian Mulroney
who donated to Americans power over commerce in Canada through a Free Trade
deal that only works for Americans and has encouraged Americans to buy up all of
Canada. People like our own Prime Minister whom I personally like very much,
because he believes at times, on a good day, in democracy, but on a bad day, his
weak spine bends to accommodate the Americans.
We Canadian tax payers are going to be asked to fork over money to American companies
to pay American duties on softwood lumber taken from Canadian forests, companies
that exploit those forests and the woodworkers who are threaten with layoffs if we
don't pay them to make up the shortfall in their profits. If this makes sense to
you, you haven't been paying attention.
Americans and Europeans subsidize agriculture so that their farmers over produce
and drive the price down on products, making it uneconomical to farm in Canada. To
meet this challenge Canadian farmers are getting together to produce huge farms that
will eventually turn Canadian rural people into surfs and peasants.
At the heart of every economic issue is American economic imperialism and we have
to demand. Oh not encourage or suggest, no demand, that our Canadian politicians
decide if they are Americans or Canadians. They are either with us or against us,
there is no middle way. Stephen Harper and the half wits who are caught in
a temporal rift call the Canadian Alliance, the Disney world politics of the
NDP and the spineless bunch who are blind following the blind all need to
realise that we are Canadians and Canadians we will remain.
Those politicians for free trade in a world of protectionism must be voted
out of office or tossed out right here and now. Those politicians who do not act
judiciously to protect Canadian sovereignty in terms of our borders, national security
and economic development, must be immediately stripped of their positions and sent
to work in American owned un-unionised factories.
Strident hyper nationalism and out and out hostility to every move of economic and
political aggression must be the order of every single day.
Damn, bad weather ticks me off.
