Premier Brad Wall

Every time we read something about what Premier Brad Wall of Saskatchewan says or does, we are reminded that not all politicians are climate change gullible and focused only on getting re-elected.

That is why Saskatchewanians, who obviously have more time to think than is available to busy Torontonians, keep re-electing him with a thumping majority.

And that's good.

Here in Ontario, we've come to expect that politics is a game that is being played behind closed doors, out of public view and not necessarily for the taxpayer's benefit.

Trump Again:

Those lucky Americans. They have a real choice for elections in the fall.

They can either go the politically correct, all-inclusive route to elect a woman with qualifications not easy to recognize or a man with no political skills, but also with no political baggage.

Too bad Canadian voters had not been offered a real choice. Of course, if we had, we'd probably have squandered it by opting for more of the same rather than potential for real change.

Green Energy?

The international news media reports that delegations from 195 nations around the planet have reached an agreement in Paris to thwart global warming.

We have to wonder how long it will take the taxpayers around the planet to catch on to the fact that all these green activists  have been living it up on the money their politicians have extracted from us to pay for all that flying and partying.

Besides our esteemed Prime Minister, there were some 350 partyers from Canada alone, according to some sources.

Are they enthusiastic about saving the planet? They ought to be. Next year they are going to do it all over again in some warm, exotic destination like Cancun. It should be quite a party. The champagne will flow freely and you and I will once again be paying for it.

Do we need to have some special qualifications to become green activists and join the party? If I can find some answers, I'll let you know.

Mobs:

Toronto's inner city space is overrun with noisy mobs these days. You'd think we actually had no procedures to redress social ills and no politicians with enough backbone to have them enforced.

The process of peaceful co-existence seems to have been subverted by noisy minority groups who have nothing better to do than to gather in the streets, bellowing loudly to draw attention to their causes.

There's the inner city feminist mob, the indeterminate sexuality (LGBT-whatever) mob, and, most prominent lately, the Black Lives Matter mob.

The BLM mob, bent on bringing attention to the killing of a black man with a hammer by a cop, has been receiving most attention from the electronic media lately. At its nucleus are a pair of stridently loud black females with a megaphone, an accusatory attitude and language suitable for launching bloody revolution.

We can only hope that at some point in their undertaking, they come to realize that their message would be more effective if it included all lives, not just black lives. And if, having achieved that, they might proceed to use their influence on their own community to take up that message.

Even better, they might get their community to cooperate with the police when witnesses to shootings should step forth to make law enforcement easier.

Let's hope their efforts evolve into a learning experience for them with achievable goals that will benefit all of us. 

The Ghomeshi decision:

Amateur analysts everywhere are expounding on the pros and cons of the Jian Ghomeshi trial.

Most of the pros come from members of the judicial fraternity while the Toronto inner city feminist mob remains unconvinced.

So far, haven't seen much from the shrinks--either amateur or professional--on the probable psychological profiles of the people involved.

It was mentioned at some point during the proceedings that Ghomeshi obviously liked his sex rough. Nothing new there. Tom cats do it that way all the time. Lots of people like their sex rough too, possibly to make it more interesting.

Obviously, each of the three plaintiffs also liked it rough, or they wouldn't have tried for return bouts. Since none were offered, they each retreated into a petulant sulk that stewed on for years.

Since there was no mention of families in the media, apparently none of the participants in this little drama had the imagination or the resilience to go on and establish normal human relationships including spouses and families of their own.

So, what can we assume from this? Was the whole cast, including Ghomeshi, a group of basically dysfunctional individuals? And while the lawyers in this case are going to be handsomely remunerated--well deserved in Ghomeshi's lawyer's case--can our society afford to dump a petulant load of crap like this in the laps of the judiciary every time someone's delicate feelings are hurt?

It's not easy to imagine that our forefathers who structured our laws to make society work smoothly, worried much about hurt feelings. 

Yet, in this case, the law worked just fine.

New cause for panic

I see the panic mongers are beginning to program the gullible among us to the effect that we are running short of water.

The We are going to die of thirst gang are going to add this to all the other panics soliciting funds such as:
--Human-generated Global warming,
--Human generated environmental degradation,
--Human-generated de-forestation,
--Human-generated air pollution,
--etc., etc.

Of all the hyped-up crap being offered in the media, so far, nobody has suggested that water shortages are confined almost exclusively to areas of third world human over-population. These are areas where people should not be living in the numbers recorded or there is no one among the leadership with enough initiative to get up and do something about it.

If the water they have to drink is unsuitable for human consumption, don't worry. Mother Nature does not hesitate to reduce the human infestations when unavoidable.

Massive Undertaking

Big headline in today's news is young Trudeau meeting with provincial politicians to tackle climate change.

Gee, if they can do that, maybe we ought to ask them to hasten the onset of spring and cancel next winter all together.

Now that the Climate change (Global Warming) cheerleaders have convinced the more gullible among us that we are responsible for what the climate is doing, it ought to be easy for us to see the logic in what our busy politicians are trying to do. Or maybe not.

What arrogance! And what abysmal disregard for the global forces that govern this planet's dynamics!

I can hardly wait to see what this new crop of geniuses is going to do next.
