Chalk Another One Up For The …

Court … The Supreme Court of Canada of course.

These 9 busy little beavers continue unabated in changing the social fabric of our once proud and democratic country.

Their latest foray came down yesterday where they gave the right to Provincial Civil Servants designated ‘essential’ to organize and of course strike.

Heretofore Governments could designate certain bureaucrats as being essential in order to keep the wheels of government turning in times of strike.  These wheels will now be silent.

And who will suffer – well you the taxpayer of course – the one who pays their inflated salaries and deflated work loads.

When that happens all hell will break open but the fearsome 9 will simply hunker down behind their cozy benches.  Let’s hope their pay cheques too get disrupted when that day arrives as surely it will.

Just recently this august body decided in a similar fashion to allow the RCMP to unionize and I wrote a blog on the consequences of their doing so.  In a nut shell – the police and the armed forces must be neutral and as we have seen time and time again – unionization of public servants inevitable pits them against politicians and the voting public alike.

But the dear Court motors on obliviously in the implementation of its left wing agenda.

The fact is, the decisions taken by the Court are fundamentally changing society when in fact, they should be taken by the people through their elected Members of Parliament.  Full Stop.

With each decision of the Court and the Para Courts and the Commissions – the democratic rights of the majority are being seriously eroded and no one appears to care that much.

Revolutions and wars fought and lives laid down for freedom and today in 2015 it is being lost – not with a bang but a whimper.

As I see it…

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITOR

 

Tasha Kheiriddin's article, concerning autism and sex education , which appeared in your paper today, filled me with both hope and disappointment.

'Hope' that so much can be done for autistic kids - as evidenced by how Ms. Kheirriddin worked with her own child to successfully overcome so many of its negative aspects.

But also 'disappointment', with her blatant attempt to lump her success with the Ontario Liberal Government's distorted sex education plan.  That is to say, some of the exercises used by Ms. Kheirriddin such as 'reading faces' is to be incorporated into sex ed and she is quite okay with that.

Well I am not.

Some background:

Our family has personal experience with this tough diagnosis and the numbers affected do appear to be growing and affecting boys more than girls. 

Dalton McGuinty, when first elected Premier, campaigned on providing greater help for these kids but it was one of the first promises he conveniently jettisoned. 

What autistic children need is the type of intervention that Tasha Kheiriddin employed with her daughter and yet currently there is no concerted effort on the part of educators to see this done.

It does not mean though that all children are in need of this type of intervention which indeed Kheiriddin readily admits in her piece. 

Nor does not mean that 'reading faces' is needed by either young autistic / non-autistic children as part of Big Brothers efforts to sexually educate them.

As I see it.

Note:  I was and remain quite annoyed that this woman would use the plight of autistic children in a bid to support the Ontario Liberal Government’s plan to introduce sex education to children as early as grade one.  This should await biology classes in later years and only then in reference to heterosexuals since this is and will remain the norm despite efforts of the politically correct to the contrary.  If parents believe their children need to learn about alternate life styles – that is up to them and not up to the State to teach.

As I see it – K.D. G.

What To Do With The Fifth Columns?…

 

In other words, those living among us who openly support ISSIS and Terrorists Groups like them – e.g. Al Qaeda.

Indeed, this has become of great concern in the Capitals of the Free World given that these Islamic Extremists have declared war against us the West.

in this war footing, groups such as ISIS are actively recruiting domestic Muslims and Muslim Converts to attack and kill innocents in our home countries in the name of Allah. Moreover, our intelligence agencies tell us that in most cases these instruments of possible destruction are known to them in advance but the law currently requires overt action before arrests can be made.

The US President seems to be quite  okay with this current state of affairs and indeed still refuses to acknowledge that Extremists Muslims are to blame. He also is quite adept at letting known killers loose from Gitmo to butcher again with reckless abandon.

This coming Friday our own Prime Minister – Stephen Harper, will introduce a Bill before our Parliament to deal specially with the 5th column issue.  I suspect it will be helpful but will not go far enough.  (Hopefully I am wrong and if so will deal with that next week in a follow-up Blog).

But here is what I hope he does:

Make it illegal for domestic residents to voice support for the activities of Islamic Terrorists – the police say they have their names and addresses – so pick them up and lock them away until the war is successfully concluded. 

If it takes 30 years – so be it – we are at War !!

Anyone who supports these Terrorists and their inhuman acts – burying babies alive – shooting teenagers for watching soccer – killing women for being raped – pushing homosexuals off roofs etc –etc. deserves no sympathy and the risk cannot be taken to provide them time to show their support in  concrete fashion (e.g.  killing a guard on duty at the grave of the unknown soldier).

You might find this approach somewhat strange coming from someone like me - a Libertarian, who believes that the Right to Freedom of Speech is paramount.

But there are limits to speaking freely – you can’t yell fire in a crowded cinema and you cannot say what good guys these Islamic Butchers are.

It is as simple as that.

As I see it…

Well What Do You Know…

 

The other day Anne showed me a feature concerning my Blog which tracks what countries its readers come from and I was most surprised to say the least.

Each day, I have upwards of 100 hits and always assumed that the majority of them came from my own country Canada and likely followed by the United States.

Not so, in the most recent month the majority of my readers come from the Ukraine – (indeed 3x as many as from Canada), then Canada, followed by the United States, France, Germany, Brazil, the UK, the Philippines, Russia and then Italy.

One day last year I had over 800 hits from Israel alone.

Who’d have thought?

I am not disappointed with the 100 or so hits per day since I do not in any way advertise the Blog rather -  I am quite happy with the variety of nationalities who are reading and hopefully enjoying it.

So to each of you, I wish to say:

  • Dobryy den’
  • Hi
  • Howdy
  • Bonjour
  • Hallo
  • Oi
  • Hello
  • Kamusta
  • 3ApBCTByNTe
  • Ciau
  • Shalom

Now that I know so many of you are reading my Blog, from outside of North America, I will make a greater effort to focus on matters of world importance.

As I see it…
