Why is the Canadian taxpayer being forced to pay for a “celebration” in honor of the inauguration of the President of the United States?

January 8, 2009 · 2 Comments

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation(CBC) is using it’s 100% taxpayer funded Radio 2 arm to launch a contest of sorts to produce a list of uniquely Canadian songs to send to the White House to, in their own words, “celebrate” the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama. WHY? Why use Canadian money to celebrate the inauguration of AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT?

There’s something creepy about the whole “president of the universe” expectation the world has put on Obama. In some corners of the globe he has reached messianic heights. I’ve seen articles in world news declaring him “President of the world” and T-shirts with the slogan “in Obama we trust”.

Talkshow host and political observer Rush Limbaugh has shown evidence that Obama’s people may be directly responsible for the current economic meltdown as a sort of “October surprise” to secure the election win. Michael Savage  has evidence that Obama couldn’t even pass the FBIentrance exam and would not qualify to be his own body gaurd due to his ties to known terrorist William Ayers.  The Americans may have proven the David Rockefeller claim that most people are too ill informed to vote.

I am a Canadian who loves and appreciates the American example of constitutional freedom and I’m honored every time they allow me in. I think it’s time to end the Obama worship however. Or at least stop expecting me to pay for it.

Dwight Duncan gets it right while Andy Barrie and Michael Hollinga are idiots

It really is unbelievable that taxpayer money is going toward funding the socialist agenda of CBC radio. On Oct. 23rd, Andy Barrie of CBC’s Metro Morning show in Toronto interviewed Ontario liberal finance minister Dwight Duncan. On the recommendation of CBC money {expert}, Michael Hollinga, Barrie suggested the finance minister should increase the price of gas by five cents per liter and have a one percent fee on healthcare. Barrie, in typical flaming ignorance, said Canadians are unfairly protected from high gas prices, citing England’s higher prices. Duncan held a reasonable ground saying Canadians already pay market prices for gas and introducing a tax increase right now would not be in the public’s best interest. Barrie countered with, “it’s not a tax increase. It’s an increase in government revenue”. The bosses at CBC must have completely given up on anyone with any intelligence at all listening to CBC radio.  Otherwise they would, and still should, get rid of this absolute idiot.
There could be a hidden agenda here, though. The CBC has always slanted left (liberal). It could be that the question was put to the minister to prop him up. To make him look like he’s for the people; the little man. Maybe Barrie was just looking for job security. Afterall, his job depends on tax revenue.
Either way, the whole Heather Malick nonsense along with Andy Barrie’s incomprehensible stupidity should cause great concern for the average, informed Canadian and if the government needs more money, perhaps they could take a look at CBC’s billion dollar budget and they could start with Andy Barrie.

Public/Private Partnerships. The future of global healthcare.

Canadians infected with the disease of liberalism are fighting against it, to little or no avail. Here’s a great example of the direction healthcare is going in Canada, for example:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/080922/canada/calgary_calgary_copeman_health_clinic

There you go. How much do you want to wager that the clinic in this story has the best equipment in the country. Why else would they be protesting? Why else would they be so outraged at the cost of membership? Do you think anyone would care about not getting in if it was a Patch Adams dump in an old farmhouse somewhere? Of couse not.
So, why is the clinic so prosperous? The answer is simple. There are no politicians in there to screw it up. Politicians who’s sole concern is reelection. Who would use the proceeds for pork and earmarks instead of MRI machines and CAT scanners. Politicians who would spend a billion dollars to fund a lousy radio station (CBC) while local hospitals have to raffle off dream home tickets in order to purchase equipment that saves lives.
Then you have those fanatics outside protesting the clinic. A clinic that will only end up raising the bar for medicine in this country. These fanatics would rather see the place shut down than reward greatness. They demand equal treatment for all Canadians. Well, here’s one Canadian who says, “Well Done Alberta”. A few more clinics like this scattered around the country and maybe my wife wouldn’t have to wait two months for a critical treatment.
Profit is the motivator that drives the world economic system. Not greed. Not envying other people’s success. Not protecting the lowest common denominator, but rewarding greatness. The more government intervention we allow, the more Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG’s we as a society are going to face. Each one of those entities were so politically entrenched they had completely lost their self sustainability and were doomed to failure.
As the great Ronald Reagan once said: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.

Heather Mallick does not speak for this Canadian

September 18, 2008 · 6 Comments

Mallick

 

 

I haven’t exactly been giving a ringing endorsement for the choice of Palin for V.P. Coming from a strictly Christian point of view it seems an unlikely moral choice to ask the mother of five children, one of whom is only five months old (or there abouts) to give so much of her time to a job that will rob an equal amount of time away from her kids who, in fact, actually spell mom: T.I.M.E.

Heather Mallick wrote a piece for the CBC about Mrs. Palin that is an absolute abomination. Here it is (plug your nose cause this one really stinks):

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/09/05/f-vp-mallick.html

Well, there you go. This Canadian believes that Heather Mallick should be fired. It won’t happen. The CBC is in the tank for every liberal candidate in the world. Liberalism is the primary source for funding at the CBC. It represents the group think that dominates the liberal mindset. It is against the rugged individualism that made both the U.S. and Canada the great nations they are, although Canada has long ago slipped into the socialist abyss. Roger Gallaway, a former prominent member of the federal Liberal party, spoke out publicly against the use of tax payer money to fund CBC radio. He hasn’t been heard from since.

I love my country. It grieves me at the core to watch Canada erode from within. There’s an election coming up in Oct. Maybe things will change for the better. We can only hope that it does.

Until then we can console ourselves with the undeniable fact that liberalism is a mental disorder and is the philosophy of the deranged. I hope you recover soon, Heather.
