Canada Day 2013 Boycott

A picture contains the possibility of the situation that it represents.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus, 2.203

The Oracle of Ottawa feels compelled to provide the important public service of warning away anyone that is contemplating coming to Ottawa, Canada for Canada Day 2013. In years distant past, Canada Day was the one premier event of the Ottawa social summer season. It was then run by the National Capital Commission. It was one of their major events, and they usually put the whole year before hand into it. It was also the time of the Canadian Just Society, security and propaganda of all kinds were kept to the bear minimum.  

Welcome to Harperland 2013!!

Now the Oracle of Ottawa feels it is his duty to warn the public that there will be several very important changes in Canada Day 2013. The major change is that it is now being run by the Department of Canadian Heritage, or in plain English, by a big disgusting fat pig by the name of James Moore, presently the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Yes Dear Reader, Canada Day has been commandeered by the 'Harper Government' for the soul purpose of celebrating the accomplishments of the Fascist State. With many demonstrations of the 'Harper Government' and free market capitalism. There is a rumor that the finale is going to contain a 3-D hologram show of Maggie Thatcher, in respectful memory, just before the fireworks, can hardly wait can ya?  

Somehow the eternally cheap 'Harper Government' has somehow coughed up the money for the possible appearance of  Carly Rae Jepson. Whoever she is? And didn't she do Canada Day in 2010? Anyway there is also a very long list of other garbage you never heard of before. There simply is no one on the A list that wants to be anywhere near the 'Harper Government' in any respect. And of course since this is a 'Harper Government' project there must be the sickening appearances of "victims". James Moore went all out on this one, no doubt at the behest of the Prime Ministers Office, and has arranged for the eternally sickening Chris Hadfield to conduct a few experiments for the kiddies, and the second rate playing of his space cadet song. And to make it all an absolute barf fest, the show is going to be hosted by Helene Campbell, of Barfhaven!   

Sweet Jesus Sweetheart! The lungs were free. This Canada Day you should be out a nice cottage somewhere on the Quebec side sitting on some young lads face for at least the whole of Canada Day, now that you got the wind for it and all. And perhaps you should see how long you can hold your breath with a somewhat constricted throat. In other words you should be out enjoying your life, since even Senator Mike Duffy has more talent than you.

For all you "out of towners" the Oracle of Ottawa must share a few tips of warning. Such as; there is no more free parking anywhere in downtown Ottawa. The City has been ordered by the 'Harper Government' to implement Demand Price parking. And of course on Canada day there is a lot of demand for parking, you are on your own. Also be very careful what you bring and what you are carrying on your person. The person on your left and on your right is going to be either a cop or a corporate security guard. There will be many opportunities for you discover all the wonders of the Canada (In)Action Plan. The koisks are going to be less than 100 feet apart on Wellington, Bank and the Sparks Street Mall. Come to Ottawa and party with the crooks and skidmarks of the 'Harper Government'. Enjoy!!

Pfffittttt.....and its gone...

All that is solid melts into air, all that is sacred is profaned.....
Karl Marx, The Manifesto of the Communist Party(1848),Section I, Paragraph 18, lines 12-14

When I was a young man I read right over the above quote. I just didn't get it. As I got older and did the inevitable reread the total view of this great work took on a whole different light. That is one of the weirdest and most wonderful things about Marx; it just won't get old. The things that I thought would never go away in my lifetime have. Former workplaces, people, the whole gamut. Marx was so right. Ole Karl always said turn the proposition on its head. So if everything melts into air, everything solid must come from air! The process is reversible. Just try picking winning stocks over a several year time frame. You will soon find if you are good that all that is solid comes from air. I always had a theory about the Manifesto.. It is pretty radical and I hope I don't offend any great Marx scholars. Here it goes, hold on tight. Karl and Friedrich had no idea in the least how important the work that they undertook would really be. Most of it was written in bars and taverns and we all know that Karl loved his beer and cigars.. "A spectre is haunting Europe..."  Brilliant Herr Marx! Karl replied over and over; " if you thought that was good buy me another beer and some cigars, Oy, I got hundreds of 'em" They drank free for at least six to eight weeks I figure.. If you don't believe me go to the Karl Marx Commons at Wikipedia and two thirds down there is an actual manuscript page! Note the ashes on the edges! And is that a hotel monogram on the sheet of paper? I will leave it to you dear reader to decide. And yes this story has a morale; Don't , don't, DON'T  drink and write. You could destroy the world!

This is I think my fourth post. I honestly thought that I would be talking to myself for at least six months. Wrong! I already have readers in Canada, United States, United Kingdom and really surprising Singapore! The new media what can I say? And the daily percentage increase is staggering. I am totally humbled. Now it is 11:00 pm. I have just finished watching my beloved CBC The National and that wonderful young man Adriane Harewood with my local news. Now what do I do? Watch George Whoselastnameicant sayorpronounce with the Red Chair or Charlie Rose? Pfffitttt... George your gone. Charlie Rose was awesome again tonight. Tee Chung-hwa was a great interview!(Lots of economic intelligence..) And Charlie Rose don't need no in house audience to back him up! And Charlie has every right in the world to be as arrogant as George IS but he demurs, he has no one to impress and nothing to prove. George you jacky little shit! You should watch Charlie Rose and learn your craft like a good journeyman!

For a blogger in Ottawa, Canada's National Capital it is sometimes truly great to be alive! An Ontario Superior Court Justice has struck down three provisions of the criminal code that literally decriminalizes prostitution in the Province of Ontario! What a hoot! Even I knew this was coming and I am truly glad I lived to see the day. Meanwhile the Tory's are beside themselves in moral outrage and indignation!! Meanwhile in Queens Park in Toronto Dalton McGuinty is looking for the bright side, and he soon finds it! " Gee guys this is one form of manufacturing you can't outsource!"  Woo Hoo! Sign us up! There go's the deficit! Successful politics is all in the outlook.. And I swear you could literally hear the square meter price of every empty commercial building in every empty industrial park in Ontario go up. In closing the utter highlight of the day occurred in Tim Horton's (somewhere in Ottawa..) When I overheard two old girls discussing Rona Ambrose
and her hissy indignant claim the federal government will appeal right away.. Rona Ambrose oh yes .. she's the minister of Shrew!
