(This painting and resulting photo does not belong to me, though it should.)
Since I've been MIA on this sorry excuse for a blog for a while, I figure I will make a simple list of my current annoyances. That way, I get my thoughts out in the open, maybe release some tension, AND spread my rage to my lovely subscribers - which can only help inspire the change that I'm looking for... right? :D
OH! And I've included a lot of fun links, so click on them! Teehee... I know which one my favourite is...
- John Baird pulling Canada's contribution out of the international pot of money that makes up UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
- His reasoning? The United Nations decided to recognize Palestine as a nation. What a piece of shit! As if he has the right to drop funding on behalf of all Canadians over something based solely on religion. Holy hell, this makes me angry!
- What do we deserve? Baird should be horse whipped, and the UN should drop all of Canada's UNESCO World Heritage Site designations.
- Anything that has come out of Peter Kent's ugly mouth since he was appointed Minister of the Environment. Oh man... I can't believe this tripe this ass-wipe is getting away with.
- Example 1: Pompously taunting opposition members because they were DENIED attendance to the last Climate Conference - and just to point out, there is a long-standing precedence that opposition members are to be part of the Canadian delegation to these conferences... to REPRESENT ALL OF CANADA.
- Example 2: Giving the Calgary Chamber of Commerce a *wink wink, nudge nudge* that they'll have no problems from HIS ministry when it comes to resource development. Streamlining project approvals, apparently... "Environment Minister Peter Kent made no apologies Thursday for making economic considerations a primary concern for his department." (Read more here)

- Bill C-10. Holy eff, what to even say about this travesty? Again I say, anyone who voted for these screwballs, or anyone who didn't vote, can kiss my arse. This bill will literally put people growing pot plants in jail longer than pedophiles that have sexually abused children. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A CANADA YOU WANT TO LIVE IN? Please say no. Or else move to Iran and witness as much injustice as you wish!
- Changes to Old Age Security: How should we save money... hm... oh! Instead of being truly fiscally responsible by not buying 65 SINGLE ENGINE fighter jets for $140 mil a jet, pouring money into dying industries like the tar sands and oil extraction, wasting money by scrapping expensive programs instead of revamping them (LONG GUN REGISTRY: they're even going to DESTROY the information the program gathered... bu wha?!!?), we'll just force our seniors to work an extra 2 years before they can finally rest! Oh goody!
Okay, I could literally go on and on and on and on, and this has taken me long enough (I've had to go back and delete some longer rants... though funny and very thought provoking, I know what it's like to see long portions of text and have your brain shut off. :D).
I do, however, feel a touch better. I feel like I have now identified my adversaries (much like our lovely government did in some documents, referring to aboriginal groups and tar sands opponents as ADVERSARIES and not ALLIES of tar sands and government supporters... what the shit is going on in this country?!?!)
Best response to that tripe can be viewed here! :D
Alright folks, I know you've probably heard this quote a bajillion times, but hear it again! Or, read it, again... you know what I mean...
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
