Subway And The Two Tone Brown Monkey

Experience, in all ages and in all countries, has demonstrated that it is impossible to control nature in her distribution of mental powers.
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, p. 203

The Oracle of Ottawa marvels at the power and the callous stupidity of of certain marketing campaigns. It is absolute proof by demonstration that there exists much more money than brains. At first the Oracle of Ottawa  thought that it would all go away quickly, that creepy two-tone animated brown monkey that seems to be spearheading all the media advertisements of the Subway mega fast food monster here in the Canadian market. The ads appear in English and French.

(i.e. somewhere else...)

This two tone brown monkey really creeps the Oracle of Ottawa! How bad is it? Why the insect hominid reminds the Oracle of Ottawa of the same feeling as getting into an Ottawa cab that is being driven by a Pakistani jihadist that is back in Canada on sabbatical from the the mountains of Afganistan! The beady predatory eyes and the evenly filed teeth, just makes the Oracle of Ottawa's epidermis crawl in utter grossness. (And you guessed it; the jihadists don't appreciate their cover being blown either.) And every movement in its body language states that you are the object of its utter and total contempt. Well excuse this old white man for living!

A Subway in its natural state  - Empty....

The subliminal messages in the ads state to the Oracle of Ottawa that he is not really welcome in a Subway. The subtle nuances say to the Oracle of Ottawa that all you old white honkey farts that expect total and perfect food every time and on every visit can just go somewhere else! The two tone brown monkey seems to be gunning for a less discriminating demographic. And the Oracle of Ottawa damn near fell of his sofa when, while watching a Major League Baseball game, the latest ads were running with characters that were of African American descent! The first thought that went through the Oracles mind was; What the hell would Jackie Robinson think? Doesn't MLB keep a very close eye on the marketing that could adversely affect the brand? They damn well should...

Now the Oracle of Ottawa knows very many former urban road warriors, that worked for various  levels of government here in Ottawa, whose jobs required them to be always on the road during their former work days. From several discussions the Oracle of Ottawa soon learned from these seasoned hands, people who really know of such things, that if you want to avoid "road rash", never, never, never eat anything, especially anything that contains "meat" from a Subway sandwich shop!

What is road rash you ask? Well that is the treat you get from eating in places you really shouldn't have. Several of the seasoned hands explained to the Oracle of Ottawa that they can readily understand how Jared the Subway guy, lost so much weight so fast! And, if you check into it yourself, he seems to be in no hurry to repeat the masterful feat of self marketing. Oy vey!

Now the best Subways in Ottawa are located in the brand new suburbs. And the young kid who works there really has no idea how to make a steak sub. His Mom still cuts his meat for him at home! And the Oracle of Ottawa must say that he always wears the gloves! Yes Sir! He wears them all the time. When primping his greasy hair and massaging his inflamed zits, just so ready to pop, anytime now! And especially when he squares off the rest room, he doesn't want to catch anything untoward, now does he? And of course he wears them when he makes your sub. Unfortunately for you it is the same gloves!

Yes, the Oracle of Ottawa remembers a number of "special" occasions the results of eating at a said certain sandwich shop. It was like a two toned brown monkey crawled up his colon and died. Only to be crapped out in wet sludgey, cramppy agony, with the cold pleasure that he had given birth to yet another new marketing concept!   

Is it just the Oracle of Ottawa, or is that that two tone brown monkey evil creepy?

Rex Murphy: A Tool Of The 'Harper Government' ?

With kisses pure: aside the Devil turnd 
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book IV, Line 502

I have been listening to Rex Murphy for years. On Sundays when I am going up to the Ottawa Valley to visit my dear old Dad I always have the radio on to the CBC to catch Cross Country Checkup. Last Sunday November 20, 2011 was no exception. But I was immediately troubled by the subject and the guest, one Terry Glavin.You failed to inform your public that your "guest" is a signatory of the Euston Manifesto ! Or in plain English that you were hosting a right wing total wack ball that before the election of the 'Harper Government' you would not have anything to do with!

Rex Murphy;  is dead to me...

I immediately remembered then and there, so to speak, a recent appearance that you did on Strombo. You remember, right after the election of the 'Harper Government' where you utterly shocked me by  stating that all that bunk about the 'Harper Government' secret agenda was a load of rubbish and then continued on to diss one of the greatest Canadian writers that has ever lived! If you have forgotten that you can watch it here and now.

Did you say this of your own free will? Were you forced to say that by the CBC? Or was it the PMO and a close connection that someone failed to report to the Oracle of Ottawa? Or did you do it for money? Now let us cut back to Sunday last, to about eight minutes into the show. Where your illustrious guest stated that the biggest business in Afganistan was the collection of human bones by the locals (in Afganistan) to render into cooking oil for export to Pakistan!! So you stood by as your "guest" called people from Pakistan cannibals? This dear readers was the most base propaganda I have ever heard on the CBC!! The CBC Ombudsman should look into this!

This is quite simply a re-spin of the Corpse Factory Story that was employed by the British in World War I! It is discussed at length in the most informative book "Propaganda & The Ethics Of Persuasion" by Randal Marlin, a philosopher who presently teaches about propaganda at Carleton University! The whole saga of this vicious ruse starts on p. 71 of Mr. Marlins text! You appeared, in gasping shock, to have bought this utter load of crap without a question! The actual reality is the story is utter and absolute bullshit!! The rendering of a human body to oil (not cooking oil...) is possible with a process called TDP or rather thermal depolymerization , a very high tech process, that you can rest assured is not running or has ever run in the shit hole back alley's of stinking Afganistan! Since it is still under patent. And to provide even more detail, so you don't look like an idiot again, you can get way more oil from plastic bottles than the same weight of a human being! All this is, is a most base attempt to sell the other Afganistan mission to the Canadian public!

You have really let me and all Canadians down Rex. If you are being forced to be a "tool" of the Prime Ministers Office of the 'Harper Government' you should do the right thing and retire, and cop a job at some Sun News paper. I mean who is next weeks guest Ezra Levant and his book Ethical Oil??

Wack balls of a feather stick together, Ezra Levant, Terry Glavin and poor Liz May....

Is Vic Toews Signalling The End Of The Charter Of Rights?

I am concern'd for the condition of the learned world, which lies under such a deplorable ignorance in all these particulars.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, Book I, p. 271

Sometimes you hear something and you go into shock. The Oracle of Ottawa was so shocked and offended by it that he was simply unable to post as per usual last night. But after the passage of more than 24 hours and another look at the tape, the Oracle of Ottawa must address this incident. It is based on an exchange in Question Period in the House of Commons on November 02, 2011. It was recorded on CPAC and you can watch it here.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms....

It involved an exchange between Joe Comartin of the NDP, a prominent defense lawyer, who is giving up a whole lot of billable hours to sit in the Royal Opposition as Opposition House Leader, and the Conservative Party of Canada resident legal genius Vic Toews. Presently faking it through the cabinet post of Minister of Public Safety. If you are frequent viewer of Question Period you know that Vic Toews is no match against Joe Comartin. The sign of a great defense attorney is to be able to get the bad guy to say the truth that he had no intention in his worst nightmare of ever saying out loud. Joe Comartin got the "bad guy" to spill his guts...again...

Joe Comartin: If they are so hell bent on ramming through this bill, will they at least listen to the three provinces that have come forward and said that we are not paying the shot.Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, are not paying the shot. You pay the shot.

Vic Toews: Well Mr. Speaker I do respect my colleague opposite but I know that he comes from a long distinguished career of defending criminals as a defense criminal lawyer, our perception is a little bit different, our perception is a little bit different... (House Goes NUTS!!)

Speaker: Order, Order!! (Vic Toews microphone cut off...)

My chin dropped! A cold rush went up my spine! Did I hear this right? Did I actually hear this? Yes I did! Is the Minister of Public Safety telling the House and me that the Conservatives have other plans for Charter Rights, especially sections 7 through to section 14? The Oracle of Ottawas experience as a seasoned tory watcher is that such utterances are "tells" or Freudian slips. They accuarately foretell the future. The more base and stupid the utterer, the sooner it will happen. And the present front line of the Conservative Party of Canada is appearing very thick indeed! Remember, you heard it here, second!

Canada is verily circling the bowl! Vic Toews is no Lord Acton!

Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.
Lord Acton, Letter, (23 January 1861), published in Lord Acton and his Circle (1906) by Abbot Gasquet, Letter 24

The 'Harper Government' Chews Its Nuts

With deregulation, one sector of the economy after another is "liberated" to capital's unmonitored authority. The very notion that there is a public interest is contested. 
Herbert Schiller, Living In The Number One Country,  p. 92

It was Wednesday, October 19, 2011 that I first heard news of the "bizarre" exchange in the House Of Commons daily Question Period. The word was out about a statement that Pat Martin of the NDP made. Something about a beaver chewing its own nuts off...Of course, whenever Question Period is REAL good the lads at CPAC seem to be about a day or two late posting the stream. Why is that do you think?

Pat Martin - Winnipeg-Centre

It all left the Oracle of Ottawa feeling vaguely uneasy. This gradual selling out to the Yanks, I heard a story like this a few years ago, but I just can't exactly place it... Any way here for verbatim is the statement by the awesome and ballsy Pat Martin:

Mr Speaker; Folklore has it that the Canadian Beaver will bite off its own testicles when it is threatened and offer them up to its tormentors, but I think Mr. Speaker, that is a fitting metaphor for the way our Canadian Government reacts to bullying by trade issues by carving off pieces of our nation and offering it over to the Americans.....

This whole nightmare as it is now unfolding was used in something I had seen or read somewhere... Then tonight it came to me...I even lucked out and found a clip of the said scenario on You-Tube and I have placed it at the end of this post to jog the collective Canadian memory. who ever thought that the day would actually come....

Now tell me that this has not come to pass or is now in the process of coming to pass, the actual game plan is a little different, wheat instead of the water... I told you so.... Sounds just like the modern present Harper, Bilderberg Group, New World Order play book don't it?

Joe Comartin And The Clear Righteous Fight

Nothing is more admirable, than the readiness, with which the imagination suggests its ideas, and presents them at the very instant, in which they become necessary and useful.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, p. 24

You cannot call a piece of legislation a "reform" if it makes things worse. Such is the uphill task of Joe Comartin as he fights against the new insane Conservative "Omnibus Crime Bill". Like an Old Testament Prophet standing on a sand dune, with the poise and calm of an early Christian Saint on prozac, old Joe has been a delight to behold. With impeccable logic and cold mastery of the facts he stands to his place and daily shreds the pathetic excuse of what the Canadian people are stuck with for a Justice Minister in the person of one Rob Nicholson.

California State Prison - Do you want this in Canada?

The funniest part of the debate was when Joe calmly all but called the Minister of Justice a shit lawyer. The hapless and / or stupid Rob didn't even get it, well not until he was long out of the House for the day! One can only surmise that the only reason that Rob is the present Justice Minister is that he was starving as a lawyer!
And being a Queens graduate; well, that ensures membership to the Ivory Tower mafia. The nickels will keep on coming until at least the next election.

Joe continually hammered at some answers for some pretty basic questions. Such as how much do you think this will cost? No answer. The Conservative morons don't have a clue to the increased cost of their folly, all they know is that they are going to get it passed before Jesus comes again and the ambassador from you know where comes calling again for bagels and warm beer. Joe asks if the brainac Minister is aware that the Americans have tried the same thing and that even they could not afford it! (10.8 billion dollars per year in California!! 2008-2009) And are now in the process of repealing the insane legislation! Stony silence, it seems that Conservative Ministers Of Justice don't have to know how to read...

Six tiny plants will get you ten years under the new legislation! You will not need judges at all if this goes through! And we all know how the Tory's hate judges...Since every crime will carry a minimum sentence, circumstance will longer be entertained. If Rob can't make it as a lawyer, sure as hell no one else will! You got to wonder what is the real purpose of this trash bill?

The real purpose of this bill is to smash the social and economic symmetry of the Canadian nation state. It is part of the Tory hidden agenda of the New World Order as layed out in and by the Bilderberg Group directives. The end solution being making the world a level playing field. That is making first world countries eventually the same as third world countries. It is all as simple as that!!

I think Joe Comartin will make a fine Justice Minister, don't you??

The Conservative Party Of Canada - Hardly!

It is also certain, that a commonwealth is always in greater danger from its citizens than from its enemies; for the good are few.
Benedict de Spinoza, A Political Treatise, Chapter VI, Section 6 

The Oracle of Ottawa's "Thinking About Thinking Project" is yielding quite unexpected results so early into its run. Perspective is widening at an ever increasing rate. All quiet shocking to its creator. While reading this Fridays Globe and Mail the top front page story caught the Oracle of Ottawas eye immediately and set off his bull shit alarm in the steady violated mode. In a wonderful article by Bill Curry of the Ottawa bureau entitled "Ottawa eyes fix for population crunch"  the best fart catchers and spin doctors under contract to the Conservative Party of Canada have conjured up a new disaster, recently discovered, whereby the surface story as told to you and me is that by tomorrow there will not be any taxpayers left to support all the just recently discovered senior citizens!

Wee Jimmy needs more gold!

The whole thing of course is an outright crock of shit! This same crock doubles as the Finance Ministers crock of "gold" at the end of his ideological rainbow. The declining population argument has been covered by the Oracle of Ottawa, and you can check it out here. Rest assured, the whole thing is an outrageous lie. But what is the real story? What is the real purpose of this spin doctors recent creation? The Oracle of Ottawa will share his views, developed with his recent new powers of critical thinking....

It seems that many promises were made in the last federal election to many "new" Canadians that are not satisfied to be merely Canadian citizens in their own right, but demanded that if the Conservatives got a majority that they could bring to Canada forthwith all their relatives of their small extended families. Well by a total fluke of probability and chance, the impossible deed was indeed achieved! Now wee Jimmy's micro-dick is in the sharpener as he realizes that a gazzilion peasant grandma's and other unproductive litter will soon have to be resident and a total drag on Canada's social system. The real problem, and indeed, it is pressing, forgive the pun, is how to jerk off the Canadian population on how to pay for this useless and insane expense.

Wee Jimmy - ponders the next Big Lie...

Hence the "population crunch"! Wee Jimmy knows that it is the Big Lie that will work, if it is done right. What has to be done is to convince the gullible tax paying Canadian public that they can no longer count on the social contracts of yesterday. So that will mean that the retirement age will have to be changed to the age of 68 from the present age of 65. You will of course have to pay more into the pension fund, work longer, and if you live to collect a pension cheque, it will, of course, be less! Why that is just like the recent British changes! The extra (unneeded) revenues will be more than enough to load up the endless plane loads of peasants various... And to pay for all their ailments from the time they land to the time they finally drop dead. The Oracle of Ottawa is totally confident that the 60% of Canadians that didn't vote for the Conservative party will totally and gladly accept this... Won't they?

Irvin Studin: Canada Population 100 Million, Math Lesson?

An empty sack cannot stand upright.
The Oxford Dictionary of English Proverbs, Third Edition, p. 220

Come the time of the biggest long week-end of the summer, the Oracle of Ottawa knows that you have really got to pay attention. You got to pay attention to your TV set, and to your old fashioned mailbox. The time before a big holiday in a democracy now run by fart catchers and spin doctors is the best time to let out the sneaky, slimey news that you hope no one will notice until you actually start acting on it!

HP12C - Irvin Studin doesn't know how to use this?

Well this year is no exception! There were three Canada Day sneak outs this year. The first one was the sale of AECL  to  SNC Lavalin for a mere 15 million dollars! The Conservative Harper government has given away over 1.5 billion dollars of Canadian tax-payers money to a corporate ho' in Quebec for mere cents on the dollar, with the cover story that the government has no business in the nuclear reactor business! The second sneak out came in my mail box from Ottawa Hydro telling me that if I use electricity on peak hours, (and these hours now being specified by Ottawa Hydro), that that will cost me ten cents per kilowatt hour! But the Ontario McGuinty government recently spent a gizillion dollars installing smart meters to every consumer in Ontario so that "we could take advantage and pay the market rate" for electricity! All I can say is that Premier McGuinty had better call home to his old law firm in Ottawa and tell them to clean off his old desk, cause he is going to need his old job back after election time this fall!

The third attempted sneak out I caught was on Steve Paikins The Agenda on TV Ontario aired on Canada Day eve. It was the interview with Irvin Studin entitled Canada at 100 Million, How do we get there? The studious and stern looking little Irvin was going on about how important it is for Canada to grow to 100 million people by the end of this century! (4:40) He claims to have got this grandiose idea from an (unsourced) quote from Winston Churchill! (First Red Flag...) Now it all gets strange when little Irvin states that to get to 100 million people by the end of this century (89 years to go...) we should start raising our present immigration rate 10-15% starting now! (5:12) The Oracle of Ottawa's bull shit alarm went off in terminal lock-on mode! This sounds like a trial panic "Life Raft" plan for a certain nation state that has recently burned or is in the process of burning all its remaining bridges and is setting the ground work now to transfer its citizenry to a new "host". (Does anybody have any idea which nation state this is?)

People should mind their own business...

Little Irvin states that we in Canada are mere provincials on the world stage (5:20) and that we could be such a "world power" if we just bulked up! Well we are already a G8 Nation! Canada is already a "world power"! We have already won the United Nation award for the best country on Earth more than once! We have more influence then we will ever need! (11:00)  Then little Irvin starts getting all fascist about bring in tons of God knows what, as long as they are breathing and forcing them to live in places like Moosonee, Ontario(!) (7:00) for a period of five years! (8:00)  The small constitutional problems that this would bring up are not addressed save that it could be sent to the courts! (8:48)

Facts:

At what annual growth rate would Canada have to grow to reach a population of 100 million in 2100 A.D.?
With a starting population of 35 million and 89 years to go Canada would have to grow at an annual rate of: 1.1865% per year! (Conclusion: Slam the Immigration doors shut, we just don't need any of them!)

At a growth rate of 2.00% per year, Canada will reach a population of 100 million in 54 years from now! That is Canada  will have 100 million people at 2.00% annual growth in the year 2065!

At a growth rate of 3.00% per year, Canada will reach a population of 100 million in 36 years from now!
That is Canada will have 100 million people at 3.00% annual growth in the year 2047!

Conclusion:

Canada is not week in Demographics! It is only week in arithmetic! Especially the arithmetic of first generation Canadian university professors, who have claimed to have attend the London School of Economics and Oxford University as Rhodes Scholars!! (Now this would be an ideal place for the Conservative government to cut funding, transferring it to artists that can always "do the math"!!)

The Canadian Senate Awaits The Barbarians

Why isn't anything happening in the senate?
Why do the senators sit there without legislating?
        Because the barbarians are coming today.
        What laws can the senators make now?
        Once the barbarians are here, they'll do the legislating.
Constantine P. Cavafy, Waiting For the Barbarians, 1898

As I have mentioned in many earlier posts to this humble blog, the Oracle of Ottawa gets very nervous about the future of Canada when the barbarians start talking wholesale and rather insane changes to long existing Canadian institutions. Being of a very suspicious and conspiratorial nature, with darn near a half century of careful reading behind me, I am acutely aware of how dangerous such moronic tinkering can be.

One of the greatest books that I have ever read was that by Edward Gibbon, entitled  The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. I was very fortunate to acquire and still own the wonderful two volume quarto Virtue and Hall edition with the Bartlett plates, the pull out maps, and all the in text engravings of the roman coins and monuments. It took me months to get through. But it was totally riveting. I still get very strange looks every time I say that, but I just can't lie to you Dear Reader. One of the great lessons of this work was the importance of protecting the institutions of the state. The Roman Empire lasted from 753 B.C. - 1453 A.D.!  And so did the Roman Senate! A very strong theory about the fall of the Western Empire could possibly by tracked to a  Preston Manning type character inadvertently dinking up the machinery of state. Ponder that for a moment...

Canadian Senate chamber ceiling...

My most favorite Prime Minister, of my lifetime, is without a doubt Jean Chretien. He was more than a two-termer, serving over ten years as Prime Minister, always with huge majorities, and always with awesome poll ratings from beginning to end. This was no doubt due to making the the very subtle Canadian system work! It also helped a-lot that he was an expert on how the system actually worked! The one main reason for his long stable run was not to tinker in Constitutional matters! He was very aware of the words of Thomas  D'Arcy Mcgee, of which ones exactly, I will leave as an exercise to the reader!

Jean Chretien was very leery about an elected senate, especially one that would be "jury-rigged" from the present senate. In his biography, he briefly discussed some of the problems that could come up. If both houses were elected by the people, and there was a Liberal majority in the House and a Conservative majority in the Senate, which one would be the legitimate voice of the people? Should the senators and the members of Parliament be elected at the same time, should we go to the dreadful 24 month continuous American system? One could also conclude that if there was a treasonous plot to save a certain modern nation state that is at present losing former friends at an alarming rate, the destruction of the house of sober second thought, would have to be the place to start, to destroy the present Canadian Constitution. Beware!

Welcome to Canadaxas

Every now and then you run up on one of those days when everything's in vain... a stone bummer from start to finish; and if you know whats good for you, on days like these you sort of hunker down in a safe corner and watch.
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Chapter 13, End of the road..., p. 199

Do you remember the Canada you have always known and loved? Good, because that all died yesterday. The Canada that you and I have always known is gone forever. And we will never get it back. If you want more information on what the hulk of Canada is going to turn into, read Susan Musgrave's "The Charcoal Burners", especially all you young women, this is now the Great Canadian Novel. This is the future you have to look forward to. You will deeply regret not voting, when you are dying in a flop house motel, because you can't afford to go to a "for profit" American owned hospital. Then in your last dying breaths you will remember the country you let slide away... as you worked on your Facebook page and text messaged all your good friends instead of getting off your ass to vote...

Here are few good things that are going to happen very shortly:

An Elected Senate; This of course will be easy since Vladamir Jack Layton totally agrees with the Tory's on this one. But of course this will entail the 24 month U.S. political cycle. You know, attack adds all the time...

Repeal of the Long Gun Registry; This I am sure will be done as soon as possible. The "opposition" will huff and puff and in the end the whole thing will get screwed up and the process will be left with a ton of loop holes that neither side intended. Get ready for the gun cabinet and  racks of guns for sale at Giant Tiger thru to Canadian Tire.. and that includes in large Canadian cities.....If you are a Peace Officer over fifty years old with the mortgage paid off- RETIRE NOW!!

Repeal of Canadian Health Care Act; The large American health insurers and hospital providers are at this very moment on route to Canada to register as lobbyists. The selling point will be lower taxes and rugged frontier independence.....You know the drill....

Practice reaching out to this first Mr. Layton.....

Schedule I Bank Mergers; The big five Canadian banks will be allowed to merge. Wee Jimmy will stand by this as "letting the market work". The fact that it will not work very well for you and me is totally unimportant....

Further Repeal of Canadian Labour Law; The process, that has been going on for the last couple of years, will continue, until being in a Trade union presents no difference from working for a Cadillac employer such as Wal-Mart and McDonalds..... Can't you just feel the NEW OPPORTUNITY?

Two Party Republican Style Political System; The Liberal Party of Canada is dead. It is the Arthur Andersen of political parties. It is bloated, floating, August, brain dead, and morally bankrupt...(Thank-You Paul Martin...) That is the cold hard truth...Join up with NDP. Cut a deal... Call the combined party The Canadian Democratic Party... The CDP.....or just the Democrats... we will be the fifty first state soon any way....

Repeal of all Multi-Cultural Legislation; This will and has died with the Liberal Party. The attitude will be "Fuck Off Frog!" It will be strongly suggested that you learn Mandarin, Hindii, and / or whatever language people from the Phillipines speak.....

The First ADMAX Prisons; The "Cheryl Gallant Super Max" will be built outside Pembroke, Ontario. It will be built over the old AECL sites. This will be a security feature that will ensure all the prisoners "glow in the dark"....This one will be a pilot model, with room for only 2,500 prisoners....

Cheryl Gallant Super Max, Pembroke Ontario...

Immigration Flood: Again to adjust to the "new Canada" learn Mandarin, Hindii or any other tribal patriarchial language...... Thank You Very Much......

Raising Retirement Age To 72; and change the pension and estate law that ensures all your uncollected pension benefits goes to Canada Revenue Agency at the time of your miserable death.....

Repeal The Unemployment Insurance Act; Scrap this to save money and put the unemployed worker on the welfare rolls. Down load to the Municipality's. Fuckin' brilliant or what? Will be very popular in Drum-scummer Alberta.....

Repeal The National Broadcast Act; The CBC reporting the truth will no longer be allowed to interfere with the spinning of the Big Lies... This will come in the early days. If you want news watch PBS or TV Ontario....

Third Strike Law; This will be introduced to help fill the new Super Max prisons that will be built all over Canada in deserving Conservative ridings... The Tory's have lots of useless brother in laws also!!!

Repeal of The Election Funding Act(s); The Canadian people are not smart enough to make a rational democratic decision, the 2011 election was more than enough proof of this, no? Will be done to save money... Will probably cause the first riots in the streets and various ethnic pogroms.. Only large Corporations will be allowed to contribute, no Trade Union contributions will be allowed...but by this time there will be no Trade Unions left any way....

We once lived in Eden and we totally blew it.....and we will never get it back.... NEVER!

Trepidation and Rapine In Toronto

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12, New King James Version

The fear descended upon me right away... when I first saw the banner run with the message that the London Stock Exchange had  announced a " Merger of Equals " with the Toronto Stock Exchange. The first thought that I remember going through my addled brain was; AOL... Ye gods! The Horror.. The Horror!  The Bilderberg Group master game plan is right on schedule! And even more frightening is that it is an  "all stock" merger! The LSE must have a ton of " off the book "  derivative sludge coursing through God knows how many shells and dubious off-shore partner ships and the only thing that can save it all is a trans-oceanic Hail Mary pass to Hog Town in the old Colonies! It only has to hold up until the day after the deal is signed.. And then who cares about the price of the stock? The magic of IAAP... Woo - Hoo!!

Toronto Stock Exchange, bye, bye...

Any hope of a National Securities Regulator are now gone and mute. If this goes through we will have essentially no regulation what so ever! How can you regulate an entity, where the decisions, for sure and certain, will be made outside of your Sovereign jurisdiction? Quebec and Alberta take note! The Bay Street boys have executed the perfect end run! There will be much back-slapping and prayer circles at the next Bilderberg orgy, mark my words! A major step to converting Canada to an offshore globalized penal colony, to be known as PC-Can or simply pecan....is an the edge of completion!  Chapters will hold a chain wide sale of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations along with a Marx, Engels and Galbraith  book-burning on Canada Day!
(Bring your own Flag and burn cream...) Buy Three books and get a free Heathers pick! ( Not of Your choice of course...some restrictions apply...)

Thomas Gresham; Bad money drives out good...

Trading will become cheaper... Really! Oh please, don't even try to run that tickle and jerk on me again! Trading most certainly, and especially, for the less then Warren Buffet sized accounts, will become certainly more expensive. I mean where else are ya' gonna go sucker? Will I be able to buy from the LSE list once this goes down? Hell no fool! How are you you poor bastards in Alberta going to get a wild cat first issue like the old days? Who do you think is going to freeze in the dark after this goes down?  Every one will be fellating  Russian Oligarchs and Euro-Thrash for "Venture money" I don't see that going over too good on the West coast.... unless of course you guy's have come to like that kind of thing... And well, you have to admit it would be better than crawling at Kevin O'Leary's feet on the CBC...  Hmmm....

What about this dream?

Now the Tory's will keep lowering the corporate tax rates and Canada will be able to compete with the rest of the world. Why in ten years Toronto will look like Kabul! Just higher and taller with better diction! Oh, the great days to come.... Gotta stop now, my Captain Canada cape just got caught in the space bar....

In closing, a tune for the brain-trust at The TSX Group... Enjoy!
