Facebook: The new litmus test for bigotry. 

There is a new bigotry detector for your friends, it’s called Facebook.  
Watch these bigots, rednecks and racists make all kinds of outrageous statements that serve to remove the veneer of acceptance; revealing the ugly underbelly of an intolerant society. 
Many of these good old boys probably haven’t read anything other than a headline in years; choosing instead, to get their news from Billy-Bob, their drinking buddy; whose claim to fame is that he still owns most of his own teeth. 

As incredible as it is, these folks are as stupid as they seem. This is most certainly not the case of a carefully considered facade, painstakingly forged to hide a steel-trap mind. This is the real deal, the genuine art of stupidity and intolerance cloaked as patriotism.

Let’s Talk

Let’s Talk

Don’t shake my hand in the boardroom
then refer to me as a N-Word in the chat room
Don’t ask me to give your proposal a second look
Then call me a monkey on Facebook.

Don’t pat me on the back and call me a great guy
But when I talk to your sister or your daughter, you want to die.
Don’t tell me that this is 2015 and racism is over
And when I complain about police stops, you call me a race-baiter.

Don’t tell me that you don’t see race and you don’t see colour
but your circle of friends is Caucasian and non other.
Don’t tell me this is Canada and I should return from where I came,
when you landed here too and refused to do the same.

DO TELL ME…when we can have a conversation
about a system that funnels young brothers from the womb to incarceration
Talk to me about jobs, child care and education
and do away with the “our cops are tops” rationalization

All I’m saying is let’s have a conversation
about white privilege, black crime and other stereotypes and perceptions
Let’s have the uncomfortable discussion
not to divide us but to make us a better nation.

What is with crazy Quebec?

From November 2013

 

Welcome to the Banana Republic of Quebec.

President Pauline Marois and her cultural police are preparing to embarking on a cultural and religious cleansing mission.

If they have their way, eventually, not one Turban shall be worn; nary a yarmulke nor a burqa.

All people are equal but some people are more equal in Quebec. Is this the Canada we want?

Speak up Canada and tell President Pauline Marois of The Banana Republic of Quebec that this is unacceptable. This is not what Canada is about.

“First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.”   — by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

 

Fantino goes after Trudeau with factless attack.

Former Toronto police Chief Julian Fantino, is attacking Mr.Justin Trudeau for being soft on crime. The fact is; there are no examples to support Mr. Fantino’s claim. This is a manufactured piece, likely designed to distract us, the voters, from the very messy Veterans Affairs portfolio and instead, associate Mr. Fantino’s name with more Conservative values, prior to a general election.

Look, Justin Trudeau is no Rhodes Scholar; He is not an example of a deliberate veneer designed to camouflage a steel-trap mind. Justin Trudeau is probably a pretty-boy who could not spell WIN if you gave him the “W” and the “I”. In other words, he is NOT his father.

With that said; if the persnickety Mr. Fantino can find neither a real issue with which to challenge Mr. Trudeau nor a Progressive Conservative platform issue upon which to independently stand, then I fear Mr. Fantino is a far dimmer light than Mr. Trudeau.

God help us all!

Vive le Québec

From August 2013,

My travels took me to Quebec this weekend where my food orders, at restaurants, would be fodder for much comedy.

For breakfast I ordered 2 eggs over, hard, well done; wheat toast – dry and a mint tea. I received with great fanfare and proud smiles: 2 eggs sunny-side-up, white toast drenched in butter and a green tea. Voilà!  With great sweeping hand gestures.  Pas Voilà, refaire pour moi SVP

For lunch I ordered a steak, medium-well, fresh vegetables steamed with no oil added and a sparkling water. I received a steak, rare, battered and deep fried onions, mashed potatoes and an extra dry martini. One server presented it to me while 2 servers clapped in the background.  Ok…I must be on just for laughs or Candid Camera.

For dinner I ordered a turkey sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, tomatoes and regular mustard only and a mint tea.  I received a turkey sandwich, on a large white bun with mayo, bacon, and some other sauce than remains a mystery, home fries and a pickle. On a positive note, I did get my mint tea.
