Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Man… I’m getting a big empty feeling about this one…. especially in my browser which pulls up a blank body to the link.
whoops… fixing it…
If you don’t give me a job here, I’m gonna tell my mommy….whaaaa!!
Winning a union battle against Wal-mart is about as likely as me parting the Red Sea. Let the goons spend themselves in futile battle. Not worth worrying about.
Ah, damn. I was really hoping something would open up at Target.
Big Bad Walmart; if I were them I would take my marbles and go home. They dont want to work for walmart wages then go work someplace else.Frankly the only place I can afford to shop is walmart,safeway, co-op etc all charge way more for the same brand articles.Plus half my friends work for walmart because the other elite places wont hire them.Walmart employees vote on being unionized or not, they chose no union thankyou very much.Quebec is all about unions.If the students that are picketing walmart want to pay double for their school supplys and no summer job then there headed in the right direction.They are defeating themselves.
Okay, color me stupid again but how does closing a store violate anybody’s right to freedom of association?
This is a typical union attitude that I’ve seen too often – the organization exists not to serve the customer but rather to provide jobs for the union. Customers are just a necessary annoyance.
Found our ‘Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ on the internet- it is indecipherable, of course, ( you have to hire a lawyer to translate it-exactly as intended). Using a coathanger, I made up a neat jig, attached a roll of bumwad to it, and printed it off. Is now enstalled in my ‘facilities’- help yourself!
Ya know, this is the problem with writing up charters of rights and freedoms, they should all be tempered with the word responsibility in association with all of the articles in there. I’ll demonstrate:
1: Every Human being has a right to Life and an option of Death, in the defence of their own personal security and of their inviolable freedoms and responsibilities
2: Every human being whose life is in peril has a right to assistance and a responsibility to provide the same in the defence of the greater good of humanity, country or family.
3: Every person is the possesor of fundamental freedoms and inseperable from these freedoms are responsibilities and obligations, these include the freedom of religion, as well as the inherent responsibility to defend other’s right to their religion, freedom of expression as well as the responsibility to ensure that that expression does not directly alienate another’s responsibiliies, or seconarily freedom’s. Freedom of peaceful assembly as well as the responsibility to assemble peacable in the interests of the greater good of society, for the defense of the same. Freedom of association as well as the repnsibility to dissasociate from or correct those who would see that our society should crumble and fall from disintegrity.
4: Every person has a responsibility to safeguard their dignity, honour, and reputation, by holding themselves to an unimpeachable code of conduct, they also have a right to do so in whatever manner they deem best for them.
5: Every person has a responsibility to respect the private lives of others, as well as a responsibility to respect one’s own life in such a way as to not interfere in the ethically profitable lives of others.
Etc. etc.
It goes from a list of “I get to do this’s” into an itinerary of one’s conduct in society emphasising one’s contribution to the greater good. After all we are only guaranteed one thing in this life, death. Everything else, and I do mean everything else is negotiable.
