Ever wonder who represents you in Ottawa?

Mar 04, 2015

I've been wondering a lot about this, these days. Like, when I hear that four of "my" Ministers of the Crown have been doing stuff that is so cockeyed, so dumb, so adverse to ordinary common sense, I don't know where to complain or whom to complain to.

I'll explain my frustration to your readers. Maybe they'll make me feel better -- by agreeing with me. There's our honourable minister of Defence-- or is it Offence ?

He's pretending that those US-NATO inspired Ukrainians are in desperate need of Canadian parkas to keep warm while they're busy killing off the Eastern long term Ukrainians-- just because they speak the language of another country and don't believe that leader is such a bad guy.

There's the honourable minister of Foreign Affairs. He's a real diplomat. Cuts back on the department. Yells "RAPE" to the House of Commons to get them to OK sending Canada's F-18s over to Italy to bomb Libya (no-fly zone and all) because the USA wanted regime change over there.

There's the honourable minister of Finance. He can't find enough taxes to pay for all the foolish spending. So he doesn't do a budget.

As for the right honourable prime minister, I leave him to other critics, like Stephen Lewis and Ralph Nader. They've told him off big time.

"The rest of the world sees Canada in free fall". "You're not being paternalistic to First Nations. You're being racist " "You say that 'jihadi terrorism is one of the most dangerous enemies our world has ever faced'. And that 'violent jihadism seeks to destroy Canadian rights'. Really? Pray tell, which rights rooted in Canadian law are 'jihadists' fighting in the Middle East to obliterate? "You talk like George Bush."

Guess I'd better shut up. Dissent isn't allowed in this country any more.
