Excited Delirium

Stephen Harper is probably the one person that I loathe in Canadian – or any – political circles.

He is the most royal of douchebags and has always hated the supply management system we have in Canada.

Now, he strikes again as a traitor to Canada.

There is NO other word.

Who else abuses their history as a politician to wrestle his way into the face of lunatics (ie. Donald Trump) against the will and intent of his own country?

Not only is he a traitor, he’s a loser. He lost the last Canadian election to a political novice and he will go down in history as someone who has intentionally sabotaged the operations of the federal government for decades to come.

Land mines like Phoenix or the Kinder Morgan pipeline continue to explode in the face of the current government.

The only people who plan to have things like that happen are sociopaths.

Which is why he probably gets along with Trump so well.

I am officially on a mission now: plastic has to go. No more plastic in my life unless it can be used multiple times and has some kind of recyclable option.

Plastic is an oil derivative.

Putting an end to plastic will help alleviate our reliance on oil and therefore help reduce our greenhouse gas contributions.

I know … it’s a simplistic summary to a VERY complicated situation we’ve created for ourselves.

That said, I have come to appreciate that plastics will be the most heinous and hideous reminder of our existence in the 20th and 21st century.

The abundance of plastics is resulting in the suffocation of our oceans, lakes and other water ways.

Too many plastics are clogging our landfills.

It’s time we acknowledge that most plastics – especially single-use products like cutlery, bottles and so on – are going to bring about our demise.

Therefore, I recommend we as a species decide that in order to adequately preserve our future, we need to take the following steps:

• Ban or strongly discourage the creation and availability of single-use plastic products;
• Implement regulations that will limit the carcinogenic inputs with plastics;
• Enable and permit industrial-scale incineration of plastics, with extremely tight guidelines for emissions and treatment of byproducts;
• Begin a ‘waterway preservation’ program, designed to encourage cleaning and clearing of any waterway of plastics (and other refuse);
• Tax single-use plastic products to the tune of something like $1 per plastic item in a ‘package’. If a case of bottled water consists of 24 bottles, the tax would be $25 per case (24 bottles + 1 plastic wrap cover). All funds generated would go towards a combination of cleaning, incineration and support for industries that convert packaging from plastic to something more sustainable;
• Create a refund program that will discourage disposal of plastics and encourage ‘plastic drives'; and
• Invest in sustainable packaging materials.

Of course, it’s impossible and improbable that we’d be able to see everything happen at once, but we have to start trying.

If we don’t we will destroy this planet as a result of non-degradable refuse as opposed to changes in temperature.

C’mon Ontario.

We can do better than this!

One-quarter of the Ontario Conservative candidates are under investigation for lawsuits, probes and police investigations.

How are people being that blind about their absurd party loyalties and are willing to vote for a bunch of gangsters?

I’m afraid. Let’s hope people are lying to the pollsters and we wind up with a very different government than what’s being projected.

A douchebag that will park in a handicap spot so he doesn’t have to walk more than 20 feet to pitch his snake oil:

I’m still absorbing the ‘shocking’ update from Kathleen Wynne, admitting that the Liberal Party of Ontario will not make any headway on Thursday.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.

I should have expected her to concede or quit much sooner, but she didn’t.

They kept up the guise that there was a viable option in Ontario before Saturday.

That is no longer true.

It’s a great example of the deep, profound corruption of the Liberal Party of Ontario.

On Thursday, I will vote NDP and I encourage everyone else to do this.

You may feel like you’re holding your nose diving in, but we have to bring change to Ontario and we have to yell at the Liberals for bringing Ontario to so many new lows.

Please. Don’t go for the ‘let’s keep them from getting a majority’ bullshit. This is just one last ploy of a politician that should never have been leader of Ontario.
