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!!

The Second Coming Of The Laurentian Consensus

"for whatever is born of God conquers the world."
1 John, 5:4, NRSV

Since the start of the one time majority of the 'Harper Government' there has been no end to the insane propaganda. Who can forget the pissings of  Preston Manning just after the accursed event, when he stated, with a straight face, no less, that Canada is now and will continue to go all right wing. Now the Oracle of Ottawa must commend the western hay seed rube on his brass. Considering that the 'Harper Government' majority was won with a mere 39% of the popular vote! And the court cases and investigations are many and continue anon. Not to mention the cabinet resignations.

Justin Trudeau - The second cumming ...

 The latest installment from the Prime Ministers Office of propaganda concerns something called the Laurentian Consensus, now this one is a total laffer. Some new wanna be characters are trying to convince Canadians with half a brain that Canada is longer ruled from the area of the Laurentian Valley as it has always been. This of course is totally false. Now granted there have been times, very few in number, that a stray dog government somehow comes to power, at the points of dynasty exhaustion, which is to totally to be expected. The Oracle of Ottawa reminds the dear reader of the 1950's in Canada, enough said?

Soon the Liberal Party of Canada will have a new leader, and as the Oracle of Ottawa predicted, it will all be over after the first ballot. Contrary to popular Conservative Party opinion, the Liberal Party is far from dead. Especially with the Conservative Party and The NDP continually giving it mouth to mouth so to speak! Canada has been through worse in its short history, and we will stomp the present evil of the 'Harper Government'  out so completely, that it will appear like it never even existed.

  
What is this? Just another zero blowing smoke...

Canada In the Age Of Foad

If one is mean to himself, to whom will he be generous?
Sirach, 14:5

So, how is that small g, lowercase, government working out for ya? Not so good eh? The Oracle of Ottawa warned you often and early in this very blog. Many are wondering where the shit fed spiral to the bottom will end. But the Oracle of Ottawa tried, Lord, he truly tried, to warn you. The "thinking about thinking" project continues. And the Oracle of Ottawa is way beyond the search for the lost American Dream, he is at the very vortex of the meaning of the life, universe and everything!

Welcome to the age of fuck off and die!(foad)...

The study of the great texts, in their unabridged form has provided the Oracle of Ottawa with deep enlightenment. Now the Oracle of Ottawa is pondering the mysteries of language. And problems such as if a lion could talk why we would not be able to understand him! Of course such deep insight has lead to the Oracle of Ottawa creating a new word for the English language! Not only a new word, but it is also an acronym and a euphemism, a word that is all three at the same time!

That word is foad. Pronounced Foe - Add or foed. Foad stands for Fuck Off And Die. Foad is just so much quicker to say, and it can be said and or communicated out loud without offending other less knowledgeable parties. The Oracle of Ottawa is quiet proud of it, especially in that it is such an early attempt.
 
Yes indeed, it is a foad world today. Especially lately in Canada, USA, and Great Britain. It is essentially what our elected governments say to us all the time lately.  For example, when the 'Harper Government' passed legislation recently that raised the retirement age from 65 to 67, even though they could have lowered  the retirement age from 65 to 63, that is your government saying foad.

This of course extends to all levels of government lately. In the week past, the Oracle of Ottawa was appalled to learn from the vulgar media suppertime news that many residents in Ottawa Public Housing have been with out hot water for months, well that is your municipal government telling you; foad! Although the most vulnerable people in my patch are doing without hot water in the depths of winter, we are still going to some how shit in our own nest by bringing a state of the art gaming house to downtown Ottawa! And since the tenants in Ottawa Public Housing don't have hot water to do their laundry with, whole towers are being now carted away by the bed bugs! Foad. Hot water for the peasants is a mere luxury. But the City of Ottawa has recently signed off on the 2.1 billion dollar four engine trolley way. Yes you have been foed....  

The crossest man in Scotland; Jamie McDonald lives the meme of foad, and coins another new word that the Oracle of Ottawa wishes he had coined. Castastra - fuck! Now that is the perfect word for our times. (4:18)
Enjoy! (And yes he really did study to be a Jesuit in real life!) For all the people in North America you can check the meaning of the word hod here....

Was Justin Trudeau Really Out Of Line?

Canada isn't doing well right now because it is Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesn't work.
Justin Trudeau, French Media Interview, November 2010

The F9 monkeys, in the beanie hats and shorts, must have been damn busy last week in the Prime Ministers Office! They had to watch every Justin Trudeau media tape back two years! All to actually find a piece where he was certainly telling the truth. Who knew that Calgary by-election was going to be so close? Not that any one will even talk to pollsters especially from the Conservative Party of Canada, so no one really knows how bad it will be for the 'Harper Government'.

Justin Trudeau - Telling the truth?

 The Oracle of Ottawa certainly can not disagree with the younger Trudeau. As a matter of fact I whole heartedly agree with him and was somewhat bummed out when he apologized for actually telling the bare naked truth. The Oracle of Ottawa feels the same way about David McGuinty in telling the right wing knuckle draggers to go back to Alberta!

The 'Harper Government' has been and continues to be an absolute disaster for Canada. Look at any and all of the metrics that compare nations to each other and we have lost ground most every where. You would think that poor old Steve of the 'Harper Government' is racing the Americans yo the bottom! And the way it is going he will probably win.

How could Canadians complain about the Alberta knuckle draggers? Why lets take a look at a great and up and coming Conservative in the form of Jim Hillyer! Now that is future cabinet material if the Oracle of Ottawa knows anything at all. And after that he might even become fully literate! That is he might be able, in the future, to read his own talking points, without practicing the night before. 

Canada is in good hands with the 'Harper Government', only the best and the brightest.... For an even more brilliant display of this actors political acumen see Question Period for November 23, 2012 at time 30:27 on the CPAC tape. And it seems that leukemia thing is in total remission. No doubt a miracle...

City of Ottawa - State of The Burg(h)ers

I affect not reserves, which I do not feel. 
Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, No. 1

The Oracle of Ottawa has recently become more and more befuddled at the actions of Gentleman Jim the mayor and his merry band of burg(h)ers. The vulgar media coverage of the great mans latest obsession to score Ottawa its very own gambling house just boggles the ordinary mind. And his obsession that it has to be "downtown" in Ottawa, which is the federal capital of Canada, is all rather appearing  to resemble salient behavior. Yet like a dog chasing a hubcap, he just pushes on. His first light bulb of an idea, to have said new casino in the old train station, which is now known as the Ottawa Conference Center was shot down in flames by the National Capital Commission, as was the brilliant idea to build it in the new disposable building recently completed at Rideau Center.

Gentleman Jim beckons to the Lead Nugget Casino....

 It has not crossed the little hay seeds mind that any Casino in downtown Ottawa would be less than two miles away from the very posh Casino already in operation in Gatineau Quebec! The befuddled mayor fails to realize that Ottawa has been beat to the gambling dollar punch by several years by the Frenchmen. And any Casino built in Ottawa, that will certainly look like a McDonalds burger joint,  certainly won't endear the spoiled rotten low rollers of Ottawa!

Let us put all these recent events into perspective dear reader. The mayor and council of the City of Ottawa want to build a new Casino, posher than the one in Quebec, very close by. The City of Ottawa is going to build an insane "light rail" system and subway for a mere 1.5 billion dollars, starting anytime soon. We are screwed into a public -private partnership in Landsdowne Park that is ready over budget... In the meantime people are driving their cars into massive "sink holes" that was actually the failure of a structure that hadn't been looked at in God Knows how long! The people of Ottawa cannot even afford to get their garbage picked up once a week! Those poor souls living the burbs are terrified at when the next overloaded garbage truck is going to collide with another garbage truck or just end up in the living room! All in an attempt by City HR to make all the Garbage truck drivers, better truck drivers and better garbage men, with two or more routes a day! You can do it if you TRY!!!  Well it appears not.... The small town cheap hypocrisy is simply astounding, and will prove soon enough to be utterly fatal.

Yes, we will get that shit hole casino, it won't be downtown though. The Oracle of Ottawa has realized just today where it will in the end, be situated. Due to the inability to attract retailers to the Landsdowne Live site, and the utterly laughable suggestion that any one will shell out fifty million dollars to get their name on a certain train wreck, which has as about as much of chance of happening as Gentleman Jim catching AIDS. Oh yeah.. About as much chance of being hit by lightning... Gentleman Jim's  Lead Nugget Casino will be the feature attraction!! The people of the Glebe will no doubt be thrilled!

The year is 2016. The site is Landsdowne Live, Gentleman Jim's Lead Nugget Casino beckons, can you feel the ambiance??

Facebook - Another New World Order Ankle Bracelet?

The fearsome fact of our time is that other elements than the government have assumed the role of directing our affairs. To a very large extent the way we live and the things we live for are determined by the interests of powerful and monopolistic corporations.
Stanley Knowles, The New Party, p. 80

Too many friends can be truly hazardous to your health. And with the onset of the plague of "online social networking" the Oracle of Ottawa often wonders, just how many friends does one person really need before it becomes a real problem greater than the supposed benefits? Well, while on an auto day tour yesterday with my significant other, the Oracle of Ottawa heard on CBC Radio 2 that of all the recently filed divorce cases in all of the United States the word "Facebook" occurred in over 33% of them!  

Are you a...

 Now the Oracle of Ottawa does not, nor will he ever, have a Facebook page. The Oracle of Ottawa doesn't give a flying rotating rat shit fuck if you want to be my friend or not. And the Oracle of Ottawa couldn't care less to be a social media friend with you! I mean, really, what the hell is in it for me? In the Oracle of Ottawa's eyes, this whole networking con is just a marketing con, to keep an eye on the skidmarks, i.e. you... You put all your most personal information on the wash room wall of the virtual cloud, providing great information to your employer, your government, your wife's lawyer and all the corporate whores who are always thinking up new ways to "harvest" your poor ragged, stupid, skidmark asses. You should be ashamed of yourself, that God has let you live so long.   

The Oracle of Ottawa remembers very well when the world was not at all like it is today. When the Oracle of Ottawa was fab, a man could pass through society without leaving any traces for anyone save and except his national government, that at the time, only used such information in the direst emergencies. What the hell happened to that world? Why is it that everyone seems to be engaged to enslaving himself to everybody else for not even non-monetary rewards?  

When some robo calling packie pollster calls the Oracle of Ottawa, I inform the little insect that the Oracle of Ottawa does not give free information to anyone. Then the Oracle of Ottawa inquires if the said little insect can meet my minimum billing requirement. If the Oracle of Ottawa does not hear the correct response, the little pollster insect is forcefully told to fuck off forthwith! The Oracle of Ottawa as you can readily imagine is seldom bothered.

Why should you provide the corporate overlord whores of the New World Order with anything for nothing? Why are all the skidmarks out there in the world so stupid and gullible? Nothing steams the Oracle of Ottawa more than waiting in a retail line up with his cash in hand while some poor white trash skidmark buys a newspaper with a fucking debit card! When you do stupid shit like that you are providing the corporate over whores with priceless marketing data that they will surely use against you! Does interact or visa ever send you a check for working for them? No? You stupid, brainless, skidmark fuck...

True and real friends are very rare indeed. The Oracle of Ottawa knows for a fact that most of us will go through this life and probably several others and never really have a one true friend. What is the definition of a true friend? There is one acid test of a true friend. Try this thought experiment. You call up your best truest friend in the world at 2:00 a.m. and inform him or her that you have to get rid of a dead human body, no questions asked, and would you be kind enough to bring a large blanket or old carpet, and oh yeah, a shovel.
What? I told you, you don't really have a friend in the whole goddamn world, do you skid?

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?
