  1. The Eccentric Etiquette:

Recycling is a communist plot to give jobs to the lower classes

Recycling is a communist plot to give jobs to the lower classes.

It is so obviously a lefty conspiracy by environmentalists in an attempt to give high paying jobs to the lower classes for sifting through our garbage and "recycling" it in to products that they just sell right back to us.

What we really should be doing...

Start throwing all your garbage in the same basket. Don't bother to recycle at all.

If your local city decides they want to run recycling programs, fine, let them pay for it, but you should demand a tax rebate since you don't want your garbage recycled and kindly tell them that not everyone believes in that environmental nonsense about recycling.

Long live Donald Trump.

Donald Trump wins the US Presidency

Last year I predicted Donald Trump will win the US Presidency.

And I was right.

I even made money off of it, because I made a wager online with a gambling website from the UK that allows people to bet on who will win elections. Got pretty good odds too because everyone thought Hillary was going to win.

I was worried too. In the weeks leading up to Donald Trump's victory there was some nasty stuff in the media.

First there was all those rape allegations from women who say they were underage when Donald Trump raped them at sex parties. I am calling BS on that. They might have been underage, but if they lied about their age to go to a sex party with Donald Trump then I am guessing they were getting paid for it. Which means they must be prostitutes and you cannot trust the word of a prostitute.

Then there was those comments Donald Trump said on a bus with a hot mic...

And honestly, I couldn't care less.

So what if he was bragging. Women love it when rich men fondle them and then give them diamonds and stuff. Gold Diggers love free stuff and they put out like any other prostitute to get it. Women are just like that. And if Donald Trump is fondling you, guaranteed you are thinking about money at the time.

And Hillary Clinton really is a nasty woman.

Nobody likes her. Not even her husband, hence why he slept with so many other women. Now that her political career is down the drain, I bet Bill will divorce her so he can marry a younger woman.

However I should note Trump isn't much better. Divorced multiple times. Lots of kids that we know about, more probably that are kept quiet due to lawsuits.

I bet Trump will snorting cocaine off of the breasts of so many prostitutes it will make JFK jealous.

The whole thing about Trump is that he is exactly what America needs.

A quick kick in the butt.

Too many Americans are lazy do nothings, craving after cozy union jobs.

Trump is going to scrap unions. Make people work for their money without all the delays from unions striking. Teachers, road workers, postal employees. Scrap all the unions. Bunch of lazy buggers who don't deserve the higher pay they are getting.

Get rid of NAFTA.

Get rid of all the trade deals that America has with China, India, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, whatever. Just get rid of all the cheap junk that we are letting into the USA.

Then you know what will happen?

Americans who want buy furniture will need to buy stuff MADE IN THE USA.

None of this cheap junk from IKEA or built in China.

Americans who want to buy food will have to buy food GROWN IN THE USA.

None of these weird vegetables from overseas. Freaking vegans are hurting American farmers. It is time for them to grow up and eat meat too.

Americans who want to buy a car will have to buy vehicles BUILT IN THE USA.

None of these cheap imports from Asia or Europe. Time for American cars for Americans!

Now I admit, pulling out of NAFTA will be bad for Canada. At least initially, but when Canadians start doing the same things: Buying food, cars, furniture, etc all made in Canada, then we will benefit from our economy being boosted. Canadian money STAYING in Canada.

At which point America and Canada will be doing so well, people will be demanding Trump become President for Life.

Long Live Trump. President for Life!

I cannot believe Canadians elected Trudeau

While I have never been a fan of Stephen Harper, I never thought Justin Trudeau would win a majority government.

I do however suspect that Stephen Harper deliberately lost the election.

I think he wanted to retire. Get out of politics. Relax.

And who can blame him? Scandal after scandal, Mike Duffy trying to implicate Harper in an illegal bribery scandal.

Time to retire and get out of politics. Never be seen again.

All that stuff about "barbaric practices" and creating a hotline? I think that was jumping the shark right there. It was too much. Allowing that nonsense cost Harper the election and I think he allowed it on purpose because he WANTED TO LOSE.

A whole bunch of stuff happened during this election that makes me suspicious that Harper wanted to lose on purpose. I am not going to list them all, but that barbaric practices hotline was certainly the biggest hint that Harper lost on purpose.

Which makes me wonder if Trudeau is being set up to fail.

Let the Liberals govern for a little while, fail completely, and then 4 years from now it will time for change again and Canadians will be ready for the Conservatives again.

Oh and Mulcair? Puhlease. That guy didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. Freaking communist bearded hippy who should go back to the 1960s and just stay there.

I predict Donald Trump will win next year

So I have been watching the Republican primaries in the USA and there are ridiculous number of candidates and the only one who even stands out from the rest of them and is recognizable is Donald Trump.

He is also the only one who speaks his mind.

Everyone else is basically a nobody next to him. Most of them I look at their name and then go "Who?" and forget their name 5 minutes later.

But Donald has staying power.

He might say some controversial things sometimes, and I am pretty sure he has been on cocaine since the 1980s, but he is the only one who even remotely stands out.

I predict Donald win will. Easily.

Hillary will get trounced by him.

And Bernie Sanders? Ha. That guy, even if he managed to beat Hillary in the primaries has zero chance of winning. He is too much of an elitist / college degree type person. He might be popular with young people who went to college, but against Donald Trump he would be painted as a communist sympathizer and communists will never ever win in the USA.

So it is Trump all the way. Trump guaranteed. I would put money on it.

Canadian AK-47

I just love this picture.


Real Men use Guns and Crossbows

I find all the fuss about the Hunger Games and archery recently is rather funny.

In my opinion real men use guns - and sometimes crossbows, because crossbows are really badass.

And okay, maybe compound bows. Compound bows are pretty great for hunting.

But wimpy recurve bows like Katniss Everdeen? Or longbows? I am sorry. They look pretty lame.

From what I can tell most of the fuss is from teenage girls and young women who have probably never even held either a bow or a gun in their lives.

You want to see a real weapon? Look at Daryl Dixon's crossbow in The Walking Dead. Effing awesome.


Now I want to point out something wonderful.

I live in Canada. I am proud to be a Canadian. But I am also proud of Canada's laws concerning crossbows.

Why?

Because you don't need a license to buy a crossbow. Nada. Just go into any hunting store that has crossbows, plunk down $800 to $1200 and you can get yourself a crossbow. No license whatsoever.

Same goes with compound bows. No license needed to buy one. Costs about $500 to $1000 for everything you need.

Now if you want to hunt with it, that is a different story. You need a hunting license and hunting tags, which is really easy to get. And then it is just a matter of waiting until hunting season.

Or depending on what you are hunting for, eg. hunting grouse, wild turkey, waterfowl, then there is less restrictive hunting seasons.

GOD BLESS CANADA!

BOO THE HUNGER GAMES!

HUZZAH THE WALKING DEAD!

The end is near for Stephen Harper's political career

I have not wrote on this blog for awhile but I think I will start doing so again.

The reason is because the end is near for Stephen Harper's political career and it is time for new leadership for the Conservative Party.

With all the scandals Stephen Harper is now the butt of jokes in much the same way Rob Ford is. For the first time in years it has become clear that it is time for change.

Unfortunately that change is likely to be the Liberal party. A bunch of middle-of-the-road socialists who like to sit on the fence most of the time.

Or worse, the lefty NDP nutjobs with their bleeding hearts which would spend everything on health care, the environment, education, etc.

It makes me realize that the Green Party (which is fiscally conservative but environmentally friendly) actually sounds like a realistic option now.

I am okay with the Green Party being tough on the oil and coal industries. Totally fine with it. Better than the laissez faire write-me-a-cheque approach that Stephen Harper has been taking. Everyone knows Stephen Harper has been on the payroll of the Alberta oil industry since the Reform Party years.

And then there is the Keystone oil pipeline - which the Conservative Party is desperate to get built so they can get millions of dollars in kickback money. If they don't get that oil pipeline built with the cooperation of the Americans then the Conservative Party may indeed run out of money when their sponsors in the Alberta oil industry decide maybe it is time for change.

Which makes you realize what Canadians vote for doesn't really matter. What matters is what the Alberta oil tycoons think and do.

Harper flip flops on Abortion

CANADA - For the first time since taking office Prime Minister Stephen Harper embraced a solid, social-conservative policy of the right — refusing to have Canada support abortion in foreign-aid projects.

This was a bit stunning to political observers because it meant Harper was flip flopping on his own agenda. For four years now he has avoided any controversial issues that scares off many women, urban and centrist voters... but he managed to do all three when Harper branded his government as anti-abortion.

Harper, according to Conservative-caucus sources, was not leaning this way two months ago, and made that clear to his MPs in March. What is even weirder is that Stephen Harper rarely flip flops on an issue. He usually sticks with it no matter how stupid the idea is.

Its a divisive issue even within the Conservative Party. Some of us are pro-choice and others are anti-abortion. Since abortion is legal in Canada and a whopping 70% of Canadians support the right to abortion and since the Conservative Party only has a minority government its really political suicide to portray your political party as anti-abortion.

Hence why Stephen Harper has avoided the issue for so long.

Here's what happened:

The Liberals made a motion that called on Canada to support the “full range” of family planning initiatives in foreign aid. The motion, sponsored by Liberal MP Bob Rae, also read in part: “the Canadian government should refrain from advancing the failed right-wing ideologies previously imposed by the George W. Bush administration in the United States which made humanitarian assistance conditional upon a ‘global gag rule’ that required all non-governmental organizations receiving federal funding to refrain from promoting medically sound family planning.”

Stephen Harper initially argued at a special caucus meeting on the day of the vote for his party to avoid the ideological trap, and to quietly vote in favour of the motion.

But the Conservative caucus, which accoridng to insiders is roughly evenly divided between pro-choice and anti-abortion sentiments, had another idea.

They believed that the mention of George W. Bush gave Conservatives a way to oppose the motion — Canada’s Parliament shouldn’t be voting on policies of another government.

Harper then allowed himself to be persuaded because too many of the caucus members were in favour of opposing the motion on the technicality. When he closed the caucus meeting, he cited some Mahatma Gandhi wisdom about a leader needing to heed his followers, and agreed the Conservatives, against his initial instincts, should oppose the motion, thus flip flopping on the issue.

When the Commons voted on the motion, the motion failed to pass. Thus Canada would be the only G8 country which would be spending money on abstinence groups overseas (which we all know from experience, abstinence doesn't work) which the other 7 members of the G8 support foreign aid that includes abortion clinics.

In the late 1980s, in a memo to then Reform Party leader Preston Manning, Harper laid out the need for the fledgling party to build coalitions with the Christian right wing, which he described as key to the Conservative base. “I believe that the Reform Party cannot afford to lose moderate pro-life voters,” said the memo, which was revealed in William Johnson’s biography of Harper a few years ago.

So from Harper's perspective this is just an ideological hat tipping to his right wing Christian supporters. Guaranteed votes from people who were already voting for him anyway. Plus it made his caucus happy.

But what about the next election? This controversy, that and the ongoing torture/war crimes issue, could stay with the Conservatives until the next election... The last thing the Conservatives need is to be seen as anti-abortionist, corrupt war criminals who are hiding something.

Oh and if our unemployment rate remains high and national debt growing, economically inept too.
