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?
