Excited Delirium

There is no such thing in Canada.

The term ‘Progressive’ when applied to Conservatives is an oxymoron. Unless you’re trying to suggest that they’re trying to progress towards being even more Conservative.

Whether it’s Doug Ford ramming his chubby fist down the throat of democracy and threatening qualified judges or Andrew Scheer siding with Ford and jumping on the anti-Constitution bandwagon, the term ‘progressive’ is NOT applicable to these people.

So WHY does the media insist on using the phrase ‘Progressive Conservatives’ when talking about Canada’s alt-right, which is, let’s face it, what these people really represent.

Recent happenings in Ontario disgust me and I hear on the radio how Ford is just doing what he promised and how he’s reducing government.

No. He’s killing democracy.

First Toronto, then the rest of Ontario.

Stand aside and he’ll come after you next.

The Capitol of the United States is on fire with gossip and speculation about who wrote ‘the letter’ to the New York Times this week.

My prediction: no one (important) did it.

In fact, I’d go so far as to suggest the whole thing has been conveniently staged in time to massively discredit the New York Times and similar media institutions.

Why?

To shame them as the US enters the mid-term election season.

There’s no better way to win a race than to shape the discussion on your own terms.

MORE FAKE NEWS!!! (Declares Trumbo from the shitter)

If the audience and peripheral potential audience of voters are even modestly doubtful about the credibility of mainstream media, Trump’s version of the story will win out.

It’s been their strategy from day one: discredit the media.

It worked in 2016 and it continues to work.

And when they lift the lid on this piece, it’ll crush mainstream media and shame them into nothingness, giving Trump and all Republicans carte blanche to say, do and act on what they want.

It’s a well crafted manipulation designed to give Trump the upper hand.

The trap was set, the New York Times jumped in with both feet and they’ll be ruined for it.

Just like the early days of the Hitler regime, the media and – more importantly, TRUTH – will be the first casualty in a long series of battles designed to win the war against humanity for a handful of old, privileged white men.

The BC government is filing a lawsuit against suppliers of opioids, basically saying that they mislead doctors and are downplaying addictive qualities.

‘It’s time opioid drug companies take responsibility for the human and financial toll their products have taken,’ says B.C. AG David Eby.

Thank you.

The world finally catching up to the crime that’s happening right under our noses.

Certainly, there is a large volume of illegal drug distribution and consumption happening in the market, but these deaths are being fueled by a lack of questions and concern within the medical community.

A class-action lawsuit should follow so that those profiting from the deaths of innocents will get a little more serious about what’s on the line.

FOOTNOTE: Now that we’re just starting to open our minds to the simple idea that the profit motive trumps health when it comes to pharmaceuticals, maybe it’s time we start re-evaluating the other tens of billions per year we pump into their coffers.

Public money shouldn’t result in public harm.

This news is incredibly disturbing.

Hundreds of priests abusing thousands of children in just one state in the US.

The entitlement.

The secrets and lies.

The bribes, political persuasion.

The cost to the public for the thousands of lives they’ve ruined.

The Catholic church has long stood behind the priests that have abused young children and this must change.

Looking to Ontario, we still endorse and fund a separate Catholic educational system.

Why?

The recent Conservative majority has taken a massive seismic step backwards in educational programs that are geared towards helping those most likely to come into harm with perverted patrons.

Why?

Religion, simply put, sucks. It has proven time and again to be the root of all evil.

Your sky wizard and your underground monster aren’t going to change life on this planet until you realize that they’re just a figment of your imagination and a control mechanism used by those who want you under their thumbs.

Quit Catholicism. Quit Islam. Quit Christianity. Quit Buddhism. Quit them all.

I’m not a Communist, but I don’t subscribe to this nonsense any more.

I’m in awe of the story, the spirituality, but the guilt implied by criminals is shameful.

Shameful.

Saudi Arabia has a deplorable history when it comes to human rights, especially in current years.

They have been relentless with their attacks on Yemen.

The Western World has turned a blind eye.

In fact, Canada (especially under Harper) gunned ahead with making sure the Saudis had the tools necessary to push forward with their genocidal tendencies towards Yemen.

Recently,

… Canada published a statement condemning the imprisonment of female Saudi activists.

Saudi Arabia responded by expelling the Canadian ambassador and recalling its envoy while freezing business ties with Ottawa, over what it dubbed “interference”.

“The kingdom of Saudi Arabia… will not accept interference in its internal affairs or imposed diktats from any country,” the foreign ministry tweeted.

“The kingdom announces that it is recalling its ambassador… to Canada for consultation.”

The ministry said that the Canadian ambassador to Riyadh had 24 hours to leave the country, and announced the “freezing of all new commercial and investment transactions” with Ottawa.

The move came after the Canadian embassy in Riyadh said it was “gravely concerned” over a new wave of arrests of human rights campaigners in the kingdom, including award-winning gender rights activist Samar Badawi.

“We urge the Saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful #humanrights activists,” the embassy tweeted on Friday.

This spat – which seems to have literally flared overnight – has resulted in organizations with possible links to the royal family threatening Canada with a 9/11-style attack on Toronto.

As long as we do business with you and supply you with weapons of death and control, we have the right to suggest that you treat all of your inhabitants with a level of decency.

This seems like a perfect opportunity to back out of a terrible trade agreement that Stephen Harper and his cronies crafted with General Dynamics.

It’s time to step up and lead Canada away from terrorists.
