One of the perks of being Canadian was a quazi freedom of speech, you could say what ever you liked as long as it didnt incite a riot or provoke or promote Hate, the Neo Nazis and extreme right wing loons had a rough go up here in Canada,that is until our fearless leader removed section 13 from our law books.... yippie effen yahoo!! now the younger generations see this as a good thing, why? because dammit Canada should have free speech just like in the good ol US of A !! they forgot that section 13 stopped those crazy west burrow bastards at the border just a few short years ago, they probably never even heard what happened to the KKK in Alberta back in the 1990s, they most likely never felt the sting of hateful words... the price of free speech is going to be steep in Canada, all those hate groups that were stopped from entering Canada now have free reign ... but I lament, no one paid heed to the cost of hate speech way back in the early 1930s over in Germany either...well yeah look how that turned out, Not saying that will happen in Canada, no the jews and muslims and tamil tigers etc are all safe.... for now, the Gay community is going to catch hell now for sure, they will be the first target I guarantee it, after all now you can legally organize a mob and crash pride parades calling them anything you desire.....you are now immune from prosecution, and you can bet your ass almost every right wing blowhard insane preacher with a couple hundred equally insane followers are gonna have a field day here in Canada
Why does this irk me enough to write a blog post? because I am one of those "old farts" that fought for equality for ALL going way back to the late 1970s when I was just a confused kid who didnt know my ass from a hole in the ground, thats why! Ive been gay bashed, not just verbally but physically, hell I have a criminal record (multiple assaults) from the early to mid 1980s for getting into rumbles and brawls over my right to be ME! Im getting too old for this hate shit! I was looking towards the newer generations to keep a vigilant eye on our hard won rights and freedoms , but they dropped the ball...a royal FUBAR, so much for the next generation being the enlightened bunch, they will hug a tree, preach against spanking and discipline, but fallow the masses like good little sheep and actually cheer the new version of free speech....the American version, whats that bible story when the jews strung Jesus up on the cross?? oh yes....forgive them father for they know not what they do.... yeah well I aint God and I aint so forgiving, the new generation have let our fearless leader abolish the law that prevented hate speech...they trampled on my right to live in PEACE free of verbal abuse and the shit storm that is coming! you give those freakin right wingers an inch and they will take a mile and condemn 1 group at a time.
enough of that shit, lets move on shall we?
How about that Nelson Mandela , a great man really, though I am not of African decent, I have followed this man for decades and truly believed in his cause, it does sadden me to know that he is not long for this world.I really dont know what to say except his family is doing a piss poor job at maintaining his legacy! someone needs to wake the hell up and set things right before Nelsons legacy is over shadowed by all the family infighting! this too saddens me.
on the topic of the USA, all I have to say is that I am pro Obama, and think that good ol boy GWB should be well forgotten and soon...as the Great Bugs Bunny would say....What a maroon!! hey if its any consolation we have had (and sometimes still have) our share of maroons as our fearless leader(s) up here in Canada, anyway, I am NOT anti American, I do love our southern neighbors, I simply do not want to become one either! ( Hear that Harper... We are CANADIAN,not AMERICAN and wish to stay that way) I do however love that American cooking!! OMG yall can cook!! I have in my life had the pleasure of travelling 38 states, I can honestly say that I was made to feel welcomed in every single one, some of my greatest memories was chatting about our funny money and how colorful it is and swapping smokes ( yall smoke some serious shit down there,honestly I cant handle American cigarettes), Im not too partial about your beer though, honestly how can you drink that shit? it tastes like recycled monkey piss and is weaker than hell, your strongest beer is considered a light beer here, if you want to taste real beer come to Canada ! however your hard liquors can stone a horse! yall tricked me good with something called Ever Clear! I drank 3 or 4 shots of this magic potion in Vegas, tasted like gasoline and holy flying batfarts did it ever burn ! (both ways, going in and coming out)dont think Ive ever pissed liquid fire before or since!btw I woke up 3 days later in Utah with no clue how I got there, still dont know to this day, and that was 20+ years ago.
American politics is fun to watch, your candidates good or bad have flare and style and pizzazz unlike our dry snooze fest politics, watching Canadian politics is akin to watching paint dry,I dont know its just that you Americans seem to do everything louder and with more enthusiasm than the rest of the world, especially Canada, dont take that wrong, its a compliment,dont even get me started on your accents, dang how can there be so many different accents in 1 country, each state has its own accent and in some cases language ( I was messed up in Cajun country), couldnt understand a dang thing was that english french? wow its like trying to talk to an intoxicated Newfoundlander, just fallow the tone of voice and not politely now and then!
I cant get a passport (because Im to damn lazy to get a pardon) and I dont much care for all the border guard bull shit (on either side of the border)so I wont be able to take my family to the USA and show them some truly awe inspiring sights such as Hoover Dam, Old Faithful, the red/purple mountains in Arizona, the Washington Monument, or Mount RushMore, damn that last one is a true marvel of human ingenuity !
anyway its late, Im tired, Ill bitch about my own country (Canada) another day, this whole free speech shit really has my undies in a knot and I needed to vent
Gnight
