Not in deep enough, apparently

Don't pay enough taxes? Kathleen Wynne will fix that...
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says her government will try to expedite the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the province to coincide with Justin Trudeau's bold commitment to bring in 25,000 refugees by the end of the year.

"We need to align with what the new government is going to do,'' Wynne said.
Don't blame me... I didn't vote for them.

No one seems to be worried that a set of Syrian documents including passports can be bought all over the middle east.

Own property in Ontario?

Kathleen Wynne's Liberals will be taking a bigger bite out of your equity...
“Ontario home buyers are already charged a provincial land transfer tax, so by adding a municipal tax, they’re essentially doubling the tax burden on Ontario families,” said Patricia Verge, president of OREA, in a release.

“If the Ontario Liberals follow through with this plan, homebuyers will be forced to pay $10,000 in total land transfer taxes on the average priced home in Ontario, starting as early as next year.”
Since 2010, homeowners in the center of the universe have been bending over and grabbing their ankles for their Liberal overlords...
On a $1 million home in the city, the buyer must pay a tax of $16,475 to the province and a $15,725 tax to Toronto.

"The New York City murder rate is typical. Year in, year out, about 90 percent of homicide victims are nonwhite males, as are 90 percent of their killers."
Funny how seldom things like that get mentioned in the media. And that's incredibly corrosive and misleading.
"For the president to emphasize that there are brutal and racist cops, presumably white, without citing the staggering rate of black-on-black crime distorts both problems."

"What more needs to be done to combat the high suicide rate among transgender people?"
Unfortunately, despite Bruce Jenner's newfound celebrity as the latest & greatest Kardashian sister, if there is a solution to transgender morbidity, it resides outside the surgical realm.

Anyone who looks at the academic literature, as compiled by folks like the National Institutes of Health, will see that the suicide rate for pre & post-op transsexuals is nearly identical at just over 40%.
Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.

Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
The established facts, which the transgendered community do their best to suppress, show that transsexualism is a psychiatric condition that is not "cured" by cutting off your existing genitalia and replacing them with a surgical facsimile.

It's all there in black and white...
The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.
Actually, it's worse than that...
Research from the US and Holland suggests that up to a fifth of patients regret changing sex.
20% regret changing genders, over 40% attempt suicide.

This is not a problem you can solve "from the heart outward."

Hey Canada, that new tax...

"The Liberals promised to up that to 25,000, beginning immediately. The platform promises to spend $250 million, including $100 million in the current fiscal year, 'to increase Syrian refugee processing, as well as sponsorship and settlement services.'”
That's $10,000 per refugee, right? That just might cover welfare housing & food for one year, but let's remember these people are not well educated, don't speak the language and have had minimal health care, so that figure needs to be multiplied, probably by at least four to cover "sponsorship and settlement services."

And it needs to be spent every year until Ahmad is employable. Call it a billion dollars yearly.

That's just one Justin promise... and it doesn't improve a single middle class Canadian life.

That's what you voted for, Canada. They promised us billions of dollars in deficit spending, and fuddle my sainted duddle, they'll deliver.

Self defense...

...is the only real and credible defense...

Remember, your local police force... (excuse me, police service)... aren't the guys who pump out your septic tank and prevent all that shit from backing up into your home.

That, my friend, is on you.

Contemporary "Peace Officers" are the bored functionaries who show up after you're knee deep in liquified turds, tear up your sodden, stinking backyard and leave you struggling with the bill.

You want peace of mind & safety of person, it's all up to you, Van Damme. Too many cops these days are box ticking bureaucrats or obvious affirmative-action lottery winners (encoutered a largish female officer recently who would've had trouble with a flight of stairs, nevr mind a drunk, dusted up biker). For the moment, they still get to tote guns, (although Gawd & CBC forbid they should actually use them) but that may change under Justin "From the Heart Outward" Trudeau.

Unlike all those popular television shows, the police do not anticipate, calculate, isolate and otherwise prevent crimes. There is no magical carp breeding database a la CSI Miami that utilises electron microscopy & fish mites to take down aspiring Unabombers.

Let's look at just one particularly egregious example.
"An Ohio man had a 14-year-old girl dropped off at his home, held her captive for months, raped her and impregnated her."
Well, bad (even horrific) things happen in this screwed up world, right? It's not like anybody could have seen that com... wait a minute...

"Jackson contacted the teenager through Facebook in February after pleading not guilty an abduction case involving two females who said he held them against their will at a hotel in Blue Ash, Ohio in 2014."
So this freak had a history of abducting women and still no alarm bells?

Seems no one was able to see what was going on despite all the clues. Electronic monitoring, unscheduled visits and Jackson still pulls this off. The only thing the cops didn't do was bring this guy beer and pizza. It was even total happenstance that this guy was even caught.
"Jackson was arrested in Utah last week when he tried to run away from drug task force officers conducting a routine stop at a bus station."

Kathleen Wynne, despite running horrific deficits and apparently unconcerned about the possible appearance of a conflict of interest, will now use additional tens of millions of taxpayer dollars annually to subsidise in-vitro fertilisation.

Obviously, one of the significant demographics interested in IVF will be women suffering from so-called “social infertility” - that is, women who reject the increasingly obsolete and icky idea of male-female procreation... (which would've absolutely, positively in no way influenced Ontario's first gay Premier).

But, hey... let's look at the numbers.

IVF currently accounts for about 2% of live births in Ontario. With only a 30% success rate and an estimated 4000 women taking advantage of the Premier's largesse, this would result in 1200 births annually at a additional cost of $58,000 per Corningware baby.

For the religious and ethically sensitive among us, note that multiple eggs are removed for each procedure and extra fertilised embryos are routinely destroyed if not used.

Now, call me a middle aged, non-disabled, caucasian, Christian male... but surely there are better ways to serve the greater good?

The auditor reported that the Wynne government waived $4.8 million of $13.3 million in fines levied against contractors in the winter of 2013/14, while another $5.2 million was being reassessed, reducing the fines by up to 76 per cent.
It's like Dalton McGuinty paying a huge corporation a billion dollars not to build a gas plant. The malfeasance never ends.
Carillion has eight contracts with the province - worth $87 million a year - to maintain highways around Chatham, London, Peel and Halton regions, Simcoe, Huntsville, Thunder Bay, Bancroft and the Kingston area.
Who owns Carillion and how much do they contribute to the Liberal Party of Ontario?

This past winter, the service cuts hit home. The explanation given was a reduction in the number of plows and the closure of three salt yards in Northumberland County.

The current contractor, Carillion Canada Inc., is only allowed nine plows compared to the 17 run the previous company, Cruickshank Construction. Basically, the service was cut in half to save money.
Despite measures such as this the provincial Liberals are still running a horrendous deficit. Where is all that money going?

What else are Kathleen Wynn's corporate friends at Carillion up to?
Sundridge, ON – On November 12, 2013, the Ontario Court of Justice ordered Carillion Canada Inc. to pay a total penalty of $250,000 for violating two counts of the Fisheries Act for “the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction of fish habitat”, and one count of violating Section 36(3) for “depositing or permitting the deposit of a deleterious substance into waters frequented by fish.”

The violations stem from repeated sediment spills, and the subsequent destruction of fish habitat in Stirling Creek, which is part of the the Magnetawan River watershed near Parry Sound.
Not surprisingly, the government itself was mixed up in this incident.
The sentencing decision for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation took place on September 24, 2013, when it was also ordered to pay a total penalty of $250,000.
Anybody else seeing a pattern here?

"I don't think police officers are going to engage potential gang members the way they did before Gray," said Michael Greenberger, a law professor at the University of Maryland.

CHRISTOPHER SKINNERYou could be forgiven for thinking that Christopher Skinner's killer was a blond blue-eyed denizen of Rosedale because virtually no media outlet is showing pictures of his killer, Agustin Alexander Caruso, who just plead out to manslaughter.Agustin Alexander Caruso
Cops were finally able to track down the man they believe drove the SUV that ran over Skinner, 27, and left him for dead on Adelaide St. — after a group viciously attacked him.
They beat Chris Skinner senseless and then ran over him... twice.

Manslaughter or murder, you tell me.

When David Suzuki...

...in his magnum opus, "A Matter of Survival" warned the nation...
"There are too many of us; we consume too much; we pollute too much..."
I guess he wasn't thinking about his own five children.

Similarly, when Professor SaintZuki lectures the hoi-polloi about their egregious carbon footprint, he likewise exempts his own extensive real estate portfolio.
Suzuki, who's made a name for himself fighting for the environment and against development, owns four homes, including one property he co-owns with a fossil fuels company.

His primary abode is a sprawling mansion in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, worth approximately $8.2 million.
But, hey... it gets better...
Saint Suzuki despises lobbyists, and says they have a disproportionate control of political power in Ottawa. But Secret Suzuki himself has nine paid lobbyists registered in Ottawa’s lobbyist registry. Not one. Nine.
If you can herd the notoriously complacent Canucki sheeple, thar's gold in them there eco-hills.

On building the inevitable wall

If you vacation in Mexico... you're part of the problem...
"It’s clear as glass by the end that Mexico is no more prepared to emerge from its quagmire of crookedness, crime, armed conflict and poverty than it was when I was a kid. Yet somehow, despite it all, the enormous tourism industry is still flourishing."
Who cares, huh? As long as the cerveza flows and the sun keeps shining.
You can still go down there on holiday if you want, but don’t watch Cartel Land on the plane, and don’t take the kids.
Still think Trump is a racist?

UPDATE:

I was no fan of the largely fictional "Zero Dark Thirty", but watched the documentary "Cartel Land" the other night and it's a tour de force.

The inescapable conclusion is that, once you rise above the ranks of ordinary Jose Citizen, there are no good guys left.

Horrifying & informative.

The media is really bearing down on this "teetotaling Nazi" meme, trying to paint the shooter as a racist, tea-partying neo-conservative.

Sadly for our brothers in journalism, it turns out this nutbar was born in England, went to a special needs school, was afraid of insects but worshipped Satan. Despite his Nazi/Lucifer leanings, he also says on a dating profile that he's "mixed race" which adds yet another layer of nutso to the crazy Nazi cake. Not exactly your typical NRA member.

LAST WORD: It's Hammer, er... Barack Time

But enough about that, let's talk about me.
During today’s 12-minute address, President Obama referred to himself 28 times.
Not a single word about Chris Mintz.
Barack Obama came out immediately Thursday to condemn the Second Amendment for the mass murder of 9 people and the wounding of at least 7 more. What he didn’t mention was the heroism of one student who tried to stop the killer.
And, of course, no invite to the Whitehouse... that's reserved for children of Islamic activists who bring fake bombs to school.

"So what can you do to help? Use the hashtag #FreeTheBacon and tweet out a picture of your genitals immediately... What? What, we can't...?" Bacon continued before being cut off and discouraged by a voice offscreen.

A multi-national corporation (quite possibly run by alien reptiles from an alternative universe) tries to strongarm a Canadian family into taking their new credit card by cancelling the old ones while they are on an out-of-province vacation. Coincidentally, another blog post by this woman, totally unrelated to the cards, blows up and goes viral... we're talking over 17,000 hits in one day.use your wordsObviously, people are gonna read whatever else they see on the page... and I predict Green Scaly Heads are gonna roll at Reptile Corp.. I mean, we're talking behavior that would make a Gorn blush... and suddenly, it's being blasted out to the world.
The new card information indicated a annual fee of $99.00 plus $15.00 annual fee for an additional card and we were beyond uninterested in paying more fees for a card that we personally would receive no more benefit from.

We were also still quite unimpressed by the high pressure tactics used by the BMO telemarketer. My husband phoned BMO MasterCard, told them we were keeping the old cards and not using the new ones. We NEVER validated the cards they sent us. They are still glued to the paperwork.
