TOBACCO NEWS FROM CANADA

Dateline - Federal Election.

“The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”-Buddha

November 30 - Forces Canada endorses the Conservative Party in the next Federal election, January 23, 2006.

Thank You, Ontario.  It's 12 years of being a smoker in Canada. I think its fair to say, the smokers in the rest of Canada have HAD ENOUGH of the Liberal Party’s PARASITES, $500 Million a year War on Canadian Smokers.

I’d be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every e-mail I received over the years asking how we can stop the war on Canadian smokers, and how we can turn things around in Canada. My response has always been: Throw out The Liberal Party. More Canadians smoke than vote Liberal in Federal elections.

I know what you’re thinking: What will change on January 24th if Canadian (Ontario) smokers heed my call and en-masse defeat the Liberals? Canada’s $500 million a year PARASITE class responsible for making your life miserable will suffer a huge defeat. Its very unlikely Stephen Harper and the Conservatives will continue funding the Liberal Party PARASITE Industry, such as the Non-Smokers Rights Association.

De-funding the PARASITES is the first but crucial step in restoring decency and civilization to Canada.

It won’t be like a Dallas episode where Bobby Ewing emerges from a shower to imagine it was a all a bad dream:

The Allan Rock’s, the Glenn Murray’s, the David Dingwall’s and the rest of the Dings In The Wall.  The endless, unnecessary duplicates of washed up Liberal Party anti-smoking hacks gorging at the Public Trough, are not going to suddenly board a smoke-free Air Canada flight, with a complimentary copy of the Glope & Flail for a one-way trip as Canada’s contribution to Angola to clear landmines and preach the virtues of the war on smoking to their fellow mine-clearers in Angola.

Voting Conservative (outside of Quebec) is that first step in a multi-thousand mile journey for sending our enemies - the PARASITES in the Liberal Party, to Angola as Canada’s contribution to the vital task of clearing landmines.

“Apollo spoke through his oracle, who had to be an older woman of blameless life chosen from among the peasants of the area…people consulted her on everything from important matters of public policy to personal affairs…(Apollo used the Oracle to) welcome the tribes of mankind/who gather here, and tell them/most important of all/what his will is.”  Oracle of Delphi, Encyclopedia Mythica

November 23 - The Pythia, AKA Oracle of Delphi evolved from a virgin (a contemporary account described the early Oracles as "witless girls, mumbling in the smoke”.  Second-hand smoke was an issue 3,500 years ago too), but later at least 50 years old and married.

3,500 years ago, 50 was considered “old” for a woman. You’ve come a long way, baby. Now 50-year-old women are young chicks. Pythia’s prophesies sound like the  “Poetry” of 50-year-old women I once dated:

“I count the grains of sand on the beach. And measure the sea.

I understand the speech of the dumb and hear the voiceless.”

The location of Delphi for the “clouded, memories, unintelligible ravings” of Pythia was no coincidence. Delphi, according to Greek mythology, was the Center of the Universe. Think of it as the Toronto of Ancient Greece.

What does a Double-Jeopardy type question have to do with smoker’s rights? It seems that after 3,500 years of silence Pythia speaks again. We also have a new Apollo in the pronouncements of the anti-smoking PARASITES of the Non-Smokers Rights Association. The PARASITES message to Canada’s peasants was transmitted through Toronto Sun columnist, Connie Woodcock, the new Oracle of the new Delphi. Here is an excerpt from the recent column, "Smoke and mirrors over cheap cigs":

“But many cigarettes are manufactured in illegal, ”garage” operations by using tobacco illegally bought from Ontario growers.

“You buy from some of these operations, you’re buying from criminals involved in gun running and drugs,” says Thompson (Non-Smoker Rights Association)

“Many people on the reserve are scared to speak up because there are a fair number of people walking around with guns.”

Cigarette operations don’t usually benefit reserve residents, he says only the criminals.

He believes the illegal cigarette trade can be stopped, but government needs to “stop treating it as an issue that will go away on its own.”  The government needs to make life more difficult for illegal manufacturers, limiting access to ingredients and it needs to educate consumers that when you buy Indian cigarettes, you are helping criminals.

But I don’t know. The lineups are long at the smoke shacks and the buyers are hardcore smokers. If one means of buying cheap cigarettes goes away, they’ll find another. They always have. And the Mohawk, who believes tobacco is God’s gift to them to help their prayers rise to his ears, will likely be there to help.”

All the loud mouth contingent of Canadian Nationalists should be outraged by Thompson’s blatant theft of the Post September 11 anti-pot campaign that tried to convince Americans that buying pot was supporting Al Quada.  Teenagers who grow pot and sell grams to their friends are Bin Laden agents. Yeah, right.

If the issue is patronizing, tobacco-selling Indian businessmen (anyone not part of the Liberal Government involved in tobacco is a criminal according to the Non-Smokers Rights Association), or allowing oneself to be gouged for the benefit much bigger criminals in the Liberal Party of Canada, I’d rather help our Native brothers.

One of the most famous of Pythia’s prophecy’s involved General Croesus.  He asked the Oracle of Delphi what would happen if he invaded the Persians.  Pythia prophesized: ”Croesus will destroy a great empire.”  Croesus then proceeded with the invasion with tragic results. The Persians defeated the Greeks.

“Why did you lie to me?” Croesus asked. The Pythia correctly answered that her prophecy had been fulfilled. Croesus had destroyed a great empire, his own.

Here’s my prophesy: if the Liberal Party should heed the advice of their well-funded Patrons-the PARASITES at the Non-Smokers Rights Association and start a war with the Mohawks over cheap cigarettes, a great criminal empire will be destroyed, their own.

“The German medical profession bore and promoted the belief that curing patients was one thing but to heal the nation was incomparably more important…To a large degree, the medical profession was not politicized but politics was medicalized.”

Dr. E. Ernst (a German doctor born after WWII), Commentary: The Third Reich –German physicians between resistance and participation. International Journal of Epidemiology.2001: 30:37-42

November 21 - It is no co-incidence that about 80% of German doctors were Nazi Party members. In Germany disease became Political. For example Lung Cancer became a political disease requiring a political solution: smoking bans, increased taxation, unending propaganda, and ultimately laws that made it a criminal offense to publicly ridicule the anti-smoking claims of the German Medical profession.

What is the difference between German doctors under Hitler (excluding nutcases like Mengele) and the Canadian Medical profession under the Liberal Party?

Newer magazines in the waiting room.

Peter Saunders in the Christian Medical Fellowship Journal Journal (1997), The Nazi Doctors – Lessons from the Holocaust, defined Nazi Medicine as

“endless propaganda, specious euphemisms, obsession with cost-benefit analysis, computerized knowledge and a developing intimacy between profession and state…

against a shifting ideological background; of the Christian ethic of the strong laying down their lives for the weak (Rom 5.6). is giving way to a Darwinian creed whereby the weak are sacrificed for the strong.”

The first trial at Nuremberg for Nazi doctors was the “Euthanasia of Sick Babies Born with Heritable Defects.” They were charged, found guilty and hanged for the crime of euthanizing sick babies, after their parents were given a song and dance about ”a risky operation that was potentially curative.”  Their defense? The Learning Curve.

When I am periodically harassed for smoking on the grounds of Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Center I respond:

“I don’t take etiquette lessons from Baby-killers. Don’t you have some babies to go kill for the Learning Curve? Ask McLean’s for a recount”

This refers to the longest Judicial Inquiry inquiry in Canadian history. Longer than even the Gomery Inquiry. The Sinclair Inquiry, into the “preventable deaths” of 12 babies at Loserpeg’s Health Science Center, the teaching hospital of the University of Manitoba Medical School, which recently celebrated its endless last place finish in the annual McLean’s Magazine rankings. (As U of M alum I demand a recount)

The medical geniuses at the H.S.C. testified under oath that they hired someone for delicate pediatric heart surgery who couldn’t do more unsupervised than open and close a chest.  12 (including racially selected “Northern Babies”) needlessly died. The H.S.C’s defense? The Learning Curve.

I can state without the slightest hesitation that the Canadian Medical Profession is history's reatest collection of liars and incompetents. It’s no co-incidence they are overly represented in the Liberal Party of Canada. Quacks of a feather flock together.

A few months ago at the International Smokers Rights Convention in Las Vegas, Samantha Phillipe opened the convention with a letter from the first Forces Canada president Gian Turci warning of “pyrrhic victories”.  If your ambition in life is to be on Jeopardy, the correct answer Alex is an empty meaningless victory; a gesture secured at great cost.

I bring up the topic because a regular correspondent sent me a copy of a DEEEEP article in the recent Canadian Quack Journal on pyrrhic victories on The CMA’s (The Liberal Party’s) War on Smokers. None of these Quacks knew what a pyrric victory was either. Not only are none of these Quacks not Jeopardy candidates they are so stupid God created sperm white and urine yellow so the Canadian Medical Association could figure out whether they are coming or going.

The Canadian Medical Association defines their latest harassment and shakedown of Canadian smokers as a ”Pyrric victory”.  This was their published commentary of the recent Supreme Court fiasco. I can sort of see their point: Never in history have so many pissed away so much on so few with so little to show for it.

The usual Strum & Drang: despite their best efforts, The C.M.A/ Liberal Party’s War on Canadian Smokers, smoking rates are still comparatively high and haven’t moved. All of this in a journalistic style that is simultaneously: pretensions, pedantic, and preachy. The usual stuff they teach in Canadian Journalism schools. A sample:

“If your education lacked a classical element, that originates from the Greek king Pyrris, whose troops suffered heavy losses in routing invading Romans in 279 B.C.  When congratulated Pyrris replied:” Another such victory over the Romans and we are undone.”…

In 2004,there was a slight decline in the number of smokers, continuing a downward trend. But 5.1 million Canadians 15 or older still smoked daily or occaisionally-17% of women and 22% of men.”

At least these Quacks can count. This is more than vote Liberal in federal elections. Ya can look it up.

Final Jeopardy answer and theme of next Forces Canada column: ”Who was the Oracle of Delphi?”

November 18 - Many of you who have sent me ever more absurd anti-smoking PARASITE related stories from across Canada. I realize I haven’t commented on them in this forum. Why? I just don’t know what to say anymore.

American readers of Forces Canada may be unfamiliar with the name of Shelia Copps.  How to describe poor little Shelia? No blue eyes and a ponytail. Instead a shrill, loudmouth ball-busting bitch. Even Canada’s lunatic left NDP wanted no part of Sheila. As Canada’s beloved former Liberal Party Minister of Canadian Culture AND Deputy Prime Minister, Sheila was among the first purges of the embarrassments of the Ancien Regime (Chretien).

This is called Liberal Party renewal. The Senate, the Courts, the U.N, the Royal Canadian Mint, etc.etc. are favored dumping grounds for washed-up Liberal Party hacks. Even the Liberal Party that had no problem finding lucrative employment for potential embarrassments such as Dingwall and Alan Rock (more people smoke in Ontario than vote Liberal) wanted no part of Sheila. Banished from the public trough.

Its too scary to even contemplate the fact that Sheila Copps actually came in second place for the for Prime Minister, in the only vote that counts in Canada, the vote of delegates to the Liberal Party leadership convention. For a reason no one can understand, the Toronto Sun has made Sheila Copps a featured columnist.

Shelia Copps was responsible for Forces Canada having the Parliament Buildings, instead of the Canadian flag on this site. Shelia’s department sent us an edict to remove the Canadian flag from Forces Canada, or else. I agreed with my predecessor’s decision that this was not an issue Forces Canada should play Joan of Arc .The National Post and large segments of the Canadian media suddenly wanted to talk to us. You’d think I would be grateful to Sheila for all this free publicity Forces Canada generated.

At some point, however, Forces Canada must move on from the flag controversy. We should change the Parliament Buildings on this page to Nelson Eddy as the singing Mountie in the 1936 MGM musical, Rose Marie. A fictional song and dance about the past that never was, is a much more appropriate symbol for Canada than the Parliament buildings.

When not harassing Forces Canada, Sheila demonstrated her eclecticism by spending millions to finance hard core made in Canada pornography, the highly acclaimed masterpiece Bubbles Galore. For the benefit of those of you who don’t stay up till 3:A.M for the Friday night Canadian content on the Porn stations, here’s a brief encapsulation of Bubbles Galore: Bubbles, was played by American” actress”, and veteran of about 300 hard-core films, Nina Hartley. Bubbles/Nina informs viewers that they are “making a fuck film.” Millions of tax dollars were pissed away on Sheila’s fuck film.

Hundreds of thousands of tax dollars were also pissed away by Sheila on a Losepeg “ARTIST” whose repertoire ranged from an exhibit of six count ‘em decaying carcasses of dead rabbits strung, up in a back lane in Loserpeg, because no Gallery in their right mind wanted any part of this to hard-core black and white S&M photos of the very same “ARTIST”, and  a real-class broad. This idiocy cost the taxpayers in the hundreds of thousands. There are about 10 million stories in the Shelia City This has been three of them. This is peanuts compared to the Billions Shelia annually pissed away (led by the CBC) as Minister of Culture and Propaganda.

Thus I cannot quite explain the strange sensation I felt when I read what I thought would be Shelia’s latest drivel in the Toronto Sun. I can’t believe it. I actually agreed with everything this ball-busting bitch wrote. Here is an excerpt from Sheila’s column on the Grope&Flail’s coverage of the Liberal Party of Canada:

“There were 14 positive stories in the Globe and Mail on P.M. Paul Martin’s Christmas bonus, including a front page that looked like a liberal love-in. The ‘mini-budget’ coverage began with five positive stories, covering approximately 95%of the page…

A large, flattering photo of Prime Minister Paul Martin covered half the page, just opposite a quarter page photo of Finance Minister Ralph Goodale.In the important left-hand top corner is an article critical of Jack Layton for provoking an election…

…the kind of survival skills usually reserved for a one-party state.”

November 14 - Its too bad there is no real good gender-neutral term for Schmuck. If a woman could be Toronto’s Schmuck du Jour, that woman would be Toronto Sun columnist, Connie Woodcock, Re: Are my smokes legal?

 

Connie Woodcock, a smoker, wrote a column about about the booming legal business the Alderville, First Nation Indian reservation, north of Cobourg is doing selling cigarettes. A carton of knock-off Players is $30.  If you are not fussy about packaging, a plastic bagful of 200 cigarettes are $11.Not surprisingly, its not uncommon for orders of 12 cartons at a time. Even gasoline is 10-12 cents a liter cheaper on the Indian reserve. Its well worth the trip.

 

So why is Connie Woodward the female equivalent of a schmuck? Instead of calling for reducing cigarette taxes on all Ontarians, Connie Woodcock instead endorsed the PARASITE fantasy du Jour, from the PARASITE controlled Dolton Gang. A new pretext was found if not arbitrarily created for the next salvo in the Liberal Party’s war on Canadian smokers.

 

Would you believe smoke-shops run by Ontario’s biggest PARASITES, The Non-Smokers Rights Association, and legally sanctioned as a Patronage dumping ground by the Dolton Gang?

This is the brilliant proposal from Toronto Sun columnist and honorary Forces Canada winner of the Toronto Schmuck due Jour award.

November 14 - Its time someone had the guts to stand up and tell the truth.

Tom Oleson, a columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press wrote a column on the endless Liberal Party scare-mongering about: George W. Bush, second-hand smoke, global warming, obesity, etc.etc. entitled: Relax, its just the usual poison. A brief excerpt:

“George W. Bush is the greatest president that the United States ever had, despite what trendy left-lib pseudo-intellectuals might argue…I would argue that he is the best president the U.S. has had in decades…

Usually researchers find pretty well what they want to find. Second-hand smoke is deadly, according to the anti-smoking lobby, but a U.S. court found that the studies that made that claim have no evidentiary value;

You might want to sing the praises of George Bush to your neighbours, if only to keep the toxic sludge from settling in the brain.”

November 11 - I could make the same comment about the PRIZE PACKAGES the Liberals appoint to the bench. There are however, exceptions, even from Ontario.

It was such a busy news week in Canada that not one paper, including the paper of record, The Grope & Flail, found it newsworthy to report that an Ontario Court threw out an attempted Torts R Us shakedown of Montreal based Imperial Tobacco. A bunch of you sent me the press release so I wouldn’t miss the story.

Montreal based Imperial Tobacco’s spokeswoman, Christina Dona stated:

“We are pleased that this unsubstantiated action will not proceed further.”

Honorable Justice Maurice Cuilty on the Ontario Court of Justice stated: ”This is not a typical product-liability case. Quite apart from the obvious risks inherent in the product if it is used carelessly, and the virtually ever-present relevance of contributory fault on behalf of the smoker, the diverse circumstances in which fires can occur are…reflected in the individual issues.”

November 11 - I would like to define the word “Schmuck.”  Co-incidentally datelines from Winnipeg, and Kamloops, B.C. are also Schmuck related.

Thesaurus Third edition defines a Schmuck:

“One deficient in judgment and good sense: ass, fool, idiot, imbecile, jackass, mooncalf, moron, nincompoop, nitwit, simple, simpleton, softhead, tomfool.”

I earlier defined a Schmuck as someone so dumb, that God created urine yellow and sperm white, so a Schmuck could figure out whether he is coming or going. The character of George Constanza in Seinfeld is a Schmuck.

It pains me to say this on a day when Ontario voters, according to the latest poll, are going back to the Liberals, that Ontario does not have a monopoly on Canada’s Schmucks.

Beloved fellow Canadians from Toronto, pick your Schmuck du Jour.  The Grope & Flail is reporting that the Gar Mahoodlum gang of bottom feeding, Liberal Party funded, PARASITES at the Public trough (Non-Smokers Rights Association) are criticizing their hero, Ontario LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA Premier Dolton McGuinty, in the pages of the Grope & Flail no less for trying to export some of Ontario’s Tobacco crop to China.

But didn’t an Imperial Tobacco Plant just close Canadian production and move to Mexico, taking with it an important MARKET for Canadian grown tobacco? Wasn’t this action taken precisely because The Liberal Party of Canada implemented the playbook of the Non-Smokers Rights Association and the rest of Canada’s $500 million PARASITE Industry? The direct loss of 850 jobs, and the inevitable ripple effect through small town Southern Ontario will be devastating. At some point you would think that Ontario voters would tire of pissing away endless amounts of money on these Schmucks.

And then there are the tobacco growers. I’ve given up trying to count how many know-nothing hair-brained schemes from the Anti-Smoking PARASITES for replacing, Ontario’s tobacco crop. McGuinty’s proposal to export Canada’s tobacco crop to China, is one of inevitable desperation. Going into an election McGuinty is already looking at the losses in both manufacturing and the inevitable hit Ontario’s hospitality industry will take when he implements his smoking ban. Ontario can’t afford a third hit. A third hit may be the proverbial straw that broke Joe Camel’s back for the Dolton Gang.

I’ll once again play Nostrodamus:  Ontario grown tobacco will be smuggled back into Canada from China and end up for sale on the Black Market, for about $2-5 a pack for Chinese made Du Mauriers from gangs of teenagers who now hang around street-corners selling grams of marijuana. This will be the next successful chapter in Canada’s (The Liberal Party) War On Canadian Smokers.

November 7 - A bunch of you sent me virtually the very same story published throughout the Osprey media empire throughout small town Ontario. It seems that Osprey commissioned a Poll and surprise, surprise the Dolton Gang’s imposed smoking ban is very popular and the Dolton Gang expects few losses from smokers in the next election. The popularity of smoking bans is tied to the “perception” that second-hand smoke is a “health hazard” rather than say: THE BLOOD-LIBEL OF THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA.

Over the past few years I’ve seen more Polls than then are Poles in Chicago. Phony polls have become an expensive tool in the anti-Smoking PARASITE’S War on Canadian smokers.

 During the recent CBC strike, CBC management put out a Poll that 75% of Canadians could have cared less. I was surprised it wasn’t even higher. The striking CBC employees struck back by attacking the Poll as manipulated worthless garbage and gave a serious insight into how these polls are easily manipulated.

How many Polls over the years have we heard from CBC about how popular the entire Liberal Party agenda is: bilingualism, gay-marriage, no capital punishment, gun control, smoking bans, and of course Medicare and The CBC.

A few years ago a very pleasant young woman from some sort of Lesbian political action group, sought my input on fighting some smoking ban. It didn’t take long for her to demonstrate her expertise in media and polling. She and her political group wanted to play Joan of Arc over the smoking ban.

She immediately assured me in a lucid, cogent way that Polling is total bullshit. Whoever PAYS FOR THE POLL gets exactly the results they want. No kidding. If the smoking ban question is asked slightly different-you will get a totally different result.

November 7 - Speaking of Polls; there’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear. The very first post-Gomery Poll is in-The Canwest Poll. Here’s the headline for what its worth:

“Grit (Liberal Party of Canada) supports plummets: poll

Gomery report drops party into dead heat with Tories (Conservative Party of Canada)

“Prime Minister Paul Martin’s Liberals have plummeted in popularity because of public anger over the Gomery Report and would lose an election if a vote was held now, a major new poll has found.”

The second post-Gomery Poll in the Grope & Flail was even worse for the Liberals. The Conservative Party is leading nationally. In Ontario, the Liberals blew an 18-point lead and are now tied with the Conservatives.

Could it be that Ontario smokers are finally waking up?

November 7 - Toronto’s Schmuck du Jour winner comes from a www.mychoice.ca postings about this column. Apparently there is some kind of Internet bulletin board where DEEP THOUGHTS are posted. I never pay attention to these things. And I am not giving this individual the satisfaction of seeing his name on Forces Canada. This individual sent me a copy of his posts about this column so I wouldn’t miss it. Here is an excerpt of what he wrote. I corrected some spelling mistakes, but left in grammar and syntax. I was a 60's kid too. We were just taught to express ourselves in school:

“Warren,

You continue to amaze me with your hatred of Ontario. You blame us for everything. And you proved many times your love of the Yanks over Ontario.

Re Defenbunker (sic), as one other post mentioned about the Arrow? Thousands of jobs lost including many of my personal friends. He is suspected that it was because of his love and bootlicking of Americans and his dislike for Ontarians that was behind that mess. It seems you want to go that same route. Yes, Warren keep likking (sic) the Yanks boots.”

As that great Ontarian Mike Myers said as Linda Richman (Coffee Talk) on Saturday Night Live:” I’M ALL VERKLEMPT.” (Choked up).

For about the umpteenth million time I DO NOT HATE ONTARIO.  I hate what Ontario votes in every election The Liberal Party of Canada but I do not now nor have I ever hated Ontario. After all how can I hate Ontario when The Leafs are my 6th favorite Canadian team in the N.H.L.

I fail to see how I am an unpatriotic Canadian for saying to American readers that I view Americans like I view those from Saskatchewan and NORTHERN Ontario, as friends and neighbors. I have a lot of friends and relatives in the U.S.  If this makes me something less of a Canadian so be it.

For Americans and those too young to REMEMBER THE ARROW (Ontario’s equivalent of “Remember The Alamo”) here is a brief encapsulation. In the late 1950s at the height of the cold war, Prime Minister John Diefenbacker from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan “KILLED THE ARROW.”  Ontario never forgave the Conservatives and they shoved 40 years of Liberal governments down our throats ever since.

What was the Arrow? It was a white elephant of an airplane cooked up as a vote-buying scheme in Ontario by Louis St. Laurant (Uncle Louis). Even by standards of Liberal Porkbarelling in Ontario, the Arrow was in a class by itself. It was a white elephant that cost twice as much to produce as comparable airplanes. It was such a great deal for Canada (re: Ontario) that at the height of the cold-war not one other country on earth wanted anything to do with the Arrow. Not one other country on earth wanted to produce or buy The Arrow. It was Canada’s Ike Age Edsel.

A salient point often omitted in the CBC and Ontario media’s MYTHOLOGY about the Arrow is the admission contained in the memoirs of C.D. Howe (“What’s a Billion?”) a member of Louis St. Laurant’s Liberal Cabinet. Howe maintains that if Diefenbacker had not defeated the Liberals, they would have also killed the Arrow, for being an endless money pit.

For American readers of Forces Canada, do you know how ONTARIO has the Canada-U.S. Autopac.  No province in Canada EXCEPT Ontario benefited from the Auto-Pac.

In 1965,Liberal Prime Minister Lester Pearson who defeated Diefenbacker literally kissed LBJ’s ass to buy votes in Ontario (Remember the Arrow.). This was Ontario’s consolation prize for the Arrow. In return for Canada’s support of the Vietnam War, Lester Pearson got Lyndon Johnson to agree to an auto production sharing agreement that in 1965 cost ALL Canadians an extra $1,000 per car (in 1965 dollars), and ultimately cost hundreds of thousands of auto workers their jobs in states such as Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois etc.

This is a small price we North Americans all delightfully pay so Ontario, and its endless contingent of anti-American loudmouths, can continue to live the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.

“I think anyone who takes the time to have an opinion, and then goes one step further and voices it, has a lot of guts.” Lara Flynn Boyle (actress, Jack Nicholson girlfriend, perfect 10, chain smoker) quoted in the Grope & Flail, on her portrayal of former McLean’s Magazine columnist, Barbra Amiel (Mrs. Conrad Black).

November 4 - Technically, a woman can’t be a Schmuck (the term refers to a male sex organ). There is a comparative term for women that, I’d rather not use here, that begins with the letter ”C”, as in Canada, Cold, and Copps as in Sheila.  The word beginning with C usually begins with the word dumb. Cold Canada (Toronto) has no shortage of Sheila Copps types.

Therefore Grope & Flail entertainment reporter Gayle Macdonald cannot technically be Toronto’s Schmuck du Jour.  Gayle McDonald actually got a rare exclusive interview with Lara Flynn Boyle (a Sharon Stone league Dream girl) and somehow failed to note that Miss Boyle, in Southern Ontario, making a film about Barbara Amiel (Former McLean’s Magazine columnist, and the present Mrs. Conrad Black.) like the character she plays in the film is not only an unapologetic chain smoker, but Barbara Amiel was among the first people to debunk the E.P.A. BLOOD-LIBEL on second-hand smoke.

Lara Flynn Boyle’s chain-smoking Marlboro’s is hardly a secret. I read a much better profile of Lara Flynn Boyle in the New York Times. We Grope & Flail readers read the New York Times on Sundays.

 Goldie Hawn (another Dream girl) once said there are phases in an actress’s life: ”Babe, D.A. (District Attorney) and Miss Daisy.”  Everyguy who ever watched The Practice for Lara Flynn Boyle knows that she played both Babe and D.A.  Can you imagine how sexy she would have been if they allowed Miss Boyle to smoke on The Practice. Guaranteed she would be another Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct.)

In the early 90s before the Internet, and before Judge William Osteen ripped apart the infamous EPA report on second-hand smoke, THE BLOOD-LIBEL OF MODERN LIBERALISM, Barbara Amiel (Mrs. Conrad Black) started attacking the E.P.A. report.  I suspect because of Amiel, Black’s newspapers, including the London Telegraph, were the only newspapers other than the Wall Street Journal that published critiques confirmed later by the Osteen decision, that exposed this BLOOD-LIBEL for what is was.

Barbara Amiel went so far as paying for indoor, state of the art tests on second-hand smoke conducted in a laboratory in London to specifically test the E.P.A.claim.  The Scientific evidence, to a virtual metaphysical certainty, proved that the E.P.A. report was a glorified BLOOD-LIBEL. In her columns, Barbra Amiel was not exactly reticent about pointing this out.  Lara Flynn Boyle is in Southern Ontario, playing Barbara Amiel in a forthcoming movie.

A Journalist from one of the London Papers, was sent to early 20th century America to interview the richest man in the world, Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie made his fortune in U.S. Steel and gave his entire fortune away to start the Public Library system as a means of helping the poor. The opening words of this idiot’s dispatch back to London reads:” Who would have believed there was so much money to be made from Libraries.”   This was the level of Gayle McDonald’s profile of Lara Flynn Boyle in the Grope & Flail.

On a day, I should have been dissecting the Grope & Flail’s, inevitable, predictable spin and whitewash of Gomery; I turned to the entertainment section of the Grope & Flail to read about Lara Flynn Boyle. Wow.

Laura describes her political philosophy, and her admiration of Barbara Amiel to that bastion of Liberal Party apology, The Grope & Flail:

” She loves to be a contrarian, likes to make bold statements, and stoutly refuses to toe any politically correct line.  ”Its as simple as take no prisoners that basically sums it up.”

“Lara Flynn Boyle is brilliant and incredibly articulate. And she knows how to use her beauty.”

I’m in love.

Gayle Macdonald or her editor at The Grope & Flail did not think it newsworthy to mention that both Miss Boyle and the character she is playing, Barbra Amiel (Mrs. Conrad Black) were rather outspoken on the smoking question.

The Grope & Flail’s Gomery Inquiry coverage was equally illuminating, and informative.

“I’m very broadminded. My mind is always on broads.” —  Groucho Marx

November 4 - The Winnipeg Sun reported on a meeting of rural Manitoba bar owners facing ruin because of the smoking ban and desperately looking for ways to attract clients, ” Rural hotel owners seek ideas.”

A few years ago, there was a story Forces Canada reported right out of Aristophanes (600 B.C. Greek, Satirist, and Playwright). Some bar owners in Coburg or Cambridge or some other Southern Ontario Twilight Zone came up with the idea of topless waitresses. The story gets even more titillating.

It seemed these “waitresses” in the summer, took advantage of the brilliant decision by the Liberal Party appointed PRIZE PACKAGES on the Supreme Court of Canada, and had a cigarette topless outside in the summertime. They were banned from smoking indoors.

They were breaking no laws because the Supremes decided in their infinite wisdom that you can hurry love. You don’t have to wait or even be indoors. It was a constitutionally protected Charter RIGHT because as a Canadian Woman (hear me roar with numbers too big to ignore) your Liberal Party Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees your rights to go Topless outdoors.

This is a Charter Right, mind you, in Diefenbacker’s Canada we merely had the BILL of Rights.  Nobody in Diefenbaker’s Canada was burned in oil, although no shortage of Dief’s critics from the Ontario media deserved to be, with The Bill Of Rights. It would have been unheard of for some real class broads to go to Court using The BILL of Rights to have the constitutional right to go topless. Dief added the Bill of Rights to the British North America Act.Dief always said: “We have a constitution in Canada. It’s called the British North America Act.”

Trudeau’s CHARTER loosely interpreted, and re-written by the Liberal Party appointed PRIZE PACKAGES on the Supreme Court have used Charter Provisions for Social-Engineering. The Charter, which the Supremes repeatedly made clear don’t apply to smokers in Canada- allows women to go topless…blah, blah, blah.

Apparently the restaurants had no problems attracting a clientele after this.

November 2 - I realize I have said some incredibly mean, brutal, nasty, but unfortunately true, things about our beloved fellow Canadians from Ontario.

”Please don’t hate us”, said the incredibly sexy voice, long distance from Eastern Ontario.  Thy neighbor’s wife.

I wish they all could be Ontario girls.

Do I hate Ontario? No.  Do I hate the kind of schmucks Ontario endlessly votes in, The Liberal Party of Canada? Yes.  Do I blame Ontarians for what has gone wrong in Canada over the past 40 years culminating, for American readers, in a report of corruption released Tuesday, involving hundreds of millions ripped-off, pissed away from the Treasury.

The Gomery Inquiry. The latest Liberal Party Scandal involving, kickbacks, patronage, buying of Judgeships, shady all cash backroom deals, payoffs for Federal advertising contracts. The usual Liberal Party story. Only the latest in a long line of similar Liberal Party corruption scandals that justly in 1983 reduced their presence in Parliament to their rightful spot-Rosedale and Westmont- (the plutocratic suburbs of Toronto and Montreal-more a state of mind as geographic/Robber Barron location). Incredibly in 1993,Ontario votes them back in to commit virtually the same crime only to a much greater scale. Incredibly Ontario smokers are the Liberal Party’s margin of victory. Ontario smokers voted them back into power in 1993 and three subsequent elections.

For once the anti-smoking nuts are right. Smoking makes you stupid. Go back through the archives of Forces Canada since the beginning to see what Ontario smokers voted in.

VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING without exception, that has gone terribly wrong in this country over the past 40 years, including Medicare, in Canada over the past 40 years, can be traced back to Ontario, voting in the Liberal Party. Its only Ontario smokers that keep these lying, crooked schmucks feeding at the Public Trough, like the Pigs they are.

I’m old enough to remember Diefebacker Canada, (Dief was from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan) and it wasn’t such a bad place. Canada was evolving in the right direction Dief introduced the Bill Of Rights, including the Notwithstanding clause, that was a statement of principle, not a license for social-engineering from the Liberal Party appointed   PRIZE PACKAGES on the Supreme Court of Canada. Perhaps someone who believes in EVOLUTION could explain to me how we evolved from John Diefenbacker to Jean Chretien, Paul Martin and the Gomery Inquiry KLEPTOCRACY.

This entire Gomery spectacle is really just another Ding In The Wall. What separates the Gomery Gang from God knows how many Liberal Party PARASITES who didn’t get caught at the public trough? The Gomery Schmucks got caught. It was our wanted poster of the Liberal Party of Canada. It was the Gang that Couldn’t Steal Straight.

I confess the only part of Gomery I am really interested in involves the allegations that the Liberal Party of Canada SOLD JUDGESHIPS in Quebec, and of course Dingwall’s role. It’s not true that “EVERYBODY DOES IT.  Some marginal crooks from the Liberal Party GOT CAUGHT.” Not true. Only the Liberals ALWAYS do it, and always get caught for the same basic crime, running Canada like a glorified Banana Republic circa 1950s.

The voice from Ontario reminded me of a shared historical experience of having lived through Diefenbakers Canada. This makes the endless bummer that is Modern Canada even more painful. It was a time of hope and prosperity. Walls moved and minds did too on a warm Canada summer night.

One has to remember the real Diefbacker’s Canada, and not the usual CBC bullshit about dying of boredom in Canada’s Ike Age. Besides being a trite caricature of the years 1957-1963,it was truly Canada’s Golden Age ended by Ontario. Ontario wanted John Kennedy as president of Canada. They gave us Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chretien, and Paul Martin.

In 1965,Canada was virtually debt free, now the Federal Government alone is $550 BILLION in Debt. Provincial debt except for Alberta is even higher. And be assured it ain’t cause we’re not ALL paying disproportionate taxes. It’s a Liberal concocted myth to claim that you would not receive medical care if you were poor. Diefenbacker had implemented the catastrophic hospital and health insurance. The notion of a government role in Health Care was evolving under Dief.  Ditto bilingualism. Among Diefenbackers first acts was to have all Government checks printed in both English and French so Quebec would feel part of  “ONE CANADA”

Cigarettes were about .35 a pack and you could smoke them wherever you liked. Taxes in real constant dollars adjusted for inflation are a fraction of where they are now.

Separatism in Quebec under Duplacessis and later Lesage were a handful of Art school daydreamers at the R.I.N. and the French CBC.  The FLQ, Levesque, and the rest came as a result of Trudeau and Chretien.

Diefenbacker had a real foreign policy not an endless bunch of sanctimonious platitudes that have turned Canada into an international laughingstock. Under Diefenbacker, Canada took the lead in kicking South Africa, out of the Commonwealth. There was a time Canada had a for real foreign policy not an endless bunch of jazzed up Liberal/Daydreamer platitudes.

It was the Liberals starting with Pearson in 1965, followed by Trudeau, Chretien and now Martin who wrecked the country, pissing away Trillions in the process. I must have missed the great legacy of Liberal accomplishments in Canada over the past 40 years. The Gomery Inquiry is only the latest.

Spare me the e-mails about Medicare. Never in history have so many paid so much to so few with so little to show for it. There is a certain Karmic Irony to the suspicion that when the next public health emergency hits in Ontario, and it will, Ontario Public Health, where affirmative action meets the Peter Principle (everyone rises to their own level of incompetence) will be in so far over their heads that Paul Martin and McGuinty will be on bended knees at the Oval Office pleading for American help. The fate of the Liberal Party of Canada depends on it.
