Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

Moonbats 56 Comments

Given their record, you’d think the UN would have the good sense to lie low on this topic;

UN special rapporteur on the right to food Olivier de Schutter spent 11 days in Canada last year. He went to Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton. He met with federal, provincial and municipal officials, aboriginal representatives, farmers, academics, and other members of civil-society groups.
He presented his final report to the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council on Monday. He claims a “growing number of people” are food-insecure in Canada, quoting estimates that vary between 1.92 million and 4.3 million people. Canada’s population is a little over 34 million.
De Schutter says such food insecurity is due to Conservative government policies, specifically the abolition of the mandatory long-form census and the Canadian Wheat Board…

  1. My wife is away for a few days and I am insecure about what I should have for meals. Should I be contacting Olivier to help me make the right choices, its all so confusing.

  4. So, because Canada shed a couple of unnecessary social control measures we are now “food insecure”? What utter BS! More like the UN sent an underling to conduct an investigation to see why Agenda 21 is taking longer than expected.

  7. Addendum to 3:38 re Charging the CIA:
    Maybe it’s because of all the Gitmo prisoners who put on 50lbs after being incarcerated?

  9. Not being a world-class busybody, I don’t see the connection between the long-form census and being “food-insecure”. Maybe people were eating the damn thing…
    If the UN was really concerned about people being hungry, they might take a look at countries where people really don’t have enough to eat. But that would a) involve actual work and b) require criticism of the very policies they want to force on the rest of us.

  11. It would also involve fact-finding visits to places where the hotel food security supply might not be as good as in Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton.

  12. I cannot begin to describe how much I despise and loathe these cosmopolitan progressives.

  13. People on the Atlantic seaboard are experiencing “food insecurity” because Michelle Obama is scarfing up all the lobster.

  14. Is this a joke?
    Food insecurity is similar to another term social justice, that can mean whatever the user of the term wants it to mean.
    Inevitably, it also allows the user of the term to prescribe the “solution”.
    Predictably, the solution always seems to be the same and we know how that ends when they run out of other peoples money to spend.

  15. Nothing quite so funny as a Euro chucklehead pretending to be all smart & smarmy.
    A very good reason to stop funding the Great Scam @ Turtle Bay.

  16. Ditto here cgh.
    It would be interesting to see the list of federal, provincial and municipal officials, aboriginal representatives, farmers, academics, and other members of civil-society groups that this communist in disguise had meetings with. This reminds me of the game all teenagers play when they say “they are all doing it or everyone has one”. He probably saw every leftard group in the country that misses Stalin.

  17. De Schutter is a joke. The organization he works for would be a joke if it weren’t siphoning off as much money as it is and doing as much harm as it does. And anyone giving this git and ounce of credibility is sacrificing their own now and for the future.
    If we’re becoming “food insecure”, why am I seeing more morbidly obese patients than ever before?
    And why is it that in my entire medical career in Canada I have seen only one case of near starvation that was not self-inflicted?

  18. He just missed testing the last portions of the governments secret weapon to eliminate food insecurity, dandruff and bad teeth.
    You know…… The Miracle Fish Broth…..

  19. Someone should drop off that EuroUNweenie on Baffin Island with a knife and a box of matches for a month and then let him say something *informed* about food insecurity.
    ABK, A Always B Be K Kicking the s**t out of these idiots – ALWAYS Be Kicking the S**t out of these idiots.
    It’s for their own good.

  21. Yeah, we are all starving…invite the man over for a microwave heated can of ‘wieners n beans’.
    I’m counting the ribs and vertebrae on the children at the public pool as we speak…
    Canada being among the ‘bread basket’ producers of the world, is so mismanaged that we need to reintroduce the 1942 era wheat board to fight starvation; which the Conservative government most recently dissolved.
    Last I heard the Canada was among the victors in WWII, but the UN whose main justification is to prevent genocide is MIA.\

  22. specifically the abolition of the mandatory long-form census and the Canadian Wheat Board…
    HAHAHAHAHAHA big breath HAHAHAHAHA funny is such an understatement on this one.

  24. Marxist UN clown parrots talking points of elitist Canadian Marxists
    while pulling down big tax free UN paydays.
    Sweet.

  25. So, would all the Poor Folk be happy if Kofi and Sons Inc. organized a food lift for them?

  26. From the article: “He also took aim at federal budget cuts and Canada’s free trade negotiations with the European Union, warning they could endanger the poultry, dairy and egg supply management scheme ..”
    What an idiot; it’s the supply management that is keeping poultry and dairy prices artificially high thus harming low income families.

  27. LOL….I’m sure Olivier chowed down at the local food bank during all of his visits to our cities.

  28. I guess they are still not over the “Oil for Food” payola scandal with the late Saddam Hussein…

  29. I will never forgive Stephen Harper for wasting his majority government and not getting us out of that despicable organization. let’s lead the Western world and just maybe we’ll start a trend.

  30. Here’s the email I sent to Olivier de Schutter :
    Sir,
    Perhaps instead of skulking around Canada looking for imaginary “food insecurity” issues, you should go to North Korea where the population subsists on less than 10% of the daily caloric intake that the average Canadian does.
    Or would that require going someplace without four star hotels and is therefore off the radar for you.
    I will be writing my MP again to demand that Canada leave the UN.

  31. Food insecurity?
    The UN has a hell of a time finding anyone in Canada who doesn’t have have enough to eat, so they pin a mane on this pig and trot it out as a horse.

  32. Fair enough, now Canada needs to investigate the UN involvement in the climate scam.
    Defunding the UN is not enough, arresting any member who is party to the fraud of CAGW and prosecuting them under RICO type legislation would start to satisfy my doubts about the Useless Nutjobs.
    Actually if we convict the UN for the scammers they are, then all employees become members of a criminal organization.
    Anyone remember Raymond Chretien?
    Making false statements, for the purpose of financial gain, is a crime in Canada, isn’t it?
    Or does Paul Jones get a pardon?

  33. Ken, we know the list of the usual suspects that he met with. Betcha Council of Canadians was big on the list. I can’t write very much here, for fear of having nothing more than a tirade of profanity. This is precisely the sort of intellectual, invariably from the social sciences, (whose hypocrisy runs deeper than a five-thousand-year old cesspit in continuous use), most in need of a giant electric cattleprod where it hurts the most.
    And this stinking f**kwad has the gall to preach to me about food shortages? This putrid, slime-filled Brussels aristocrat deems it appropriate to play domestic politics in my country? (See. Now look what you did.)
    I can tolerate stupidity and willful blindness; these are the natural conditions of humanity. What I absolutely cannot stand is those who preach “Let them eat cake” from positions of power, advantage and privilege. Where’s Robespierre and Danton with Madame when you need them?

  34. Sometimes you can only shake your head at the lazy elites that infest the UN, he wallows his time away in nice safe countries god forbid he head to the Sudan or the Horn of Africa where people are actually you know–phucking suffering.

  35. My only wish is to die and return as a UN bureaucrat and live in Neverland, NYC

  36. the UN makes the NDPee look like pikers, they, the UN, screw up just about every thing they try, except theft!!

  37. It is interesting to note that while the UN hypocritically sends pious busybodies like Scooter out to scold the safest most fair minded nation on earth over minutia, the UN is dodging a world class scandal and responsibility for starting the Haitian cholera epidemic that killed 8000 and infected over 650,000 –
    http://tinyurl.com/d9vx6zq
    Funny thing is even though the UN may be guilty of the cholera epidemic, they are not liable for it – under their international rule cooking you can’t sue these bastards! Why all the denial if they are above liability? – unless denial/dishonesty is a reflex response from this body of 3rd world punks.

  38. Sent to Deschutter ..
    You are delusional, and have spent too much time at the United Nations freeloader food station. Stay in Belgium and out of Canada. You and your “United Nutjob gang” can do far more for “food insecurity” in your home country. And, if you really care about this issue, donate your extravagant UN salary towards those going hungry every day.

  41. Well, what about that, you have trouble getting local produce in Inuvik and Iqaluit.
    I thought Bush was behind the abolition of the long census form. Sheesh, how does that guy cash his paycheck without feeling guilty? Oh, sorry, leftoids don’t feel.

  42. Solution: Each year tell the 60 most senior members of the UN they must go on Carousel so they can achieve Renewal. Tell them the science is settled; together they will experience United RejuviNation. It wouldn’t even cost that much to renovate to the Chamber the General Assembly uses.

    I’d pay big bucks to be in the audience cheering my face off.

  43. So when you cut to the chase with this report, because Canada abandoned the long form census, it caused Chief Spends to get fat… that about it… Methinks Scooter has a brain tumor..

  45. Nah, no food insecurity here. Why often when I drive by the soup kitchen, I see people coming out with a bag of grocery staples and smoking away. If they want to supplement the freebies,they can smoke less and eat better.

  46. I would be interested in his logic in how getting rid of the long form census would lead to food insecurity!
    I could use the laugh

  47. “quoting estimates that vary between 1.92 million and 4.3 million people”.
    Well, that would be problematic right there.
    Here are a few interrogatories that I can think of, just now, right off the top:
    1. Please indicate, in detail, your definition of “food-insecure”.
    2. Please provide a discussion of the relevant issues involved in framing your definition, both generally and in respect of Canada.
    3. Please describe, in detail, the terms of reference of your investigation, including who authorized them, when and for what purpose.
    4. Please indicate the basis of the findings in your statement, quoted above, including:
    – the abstract(s) of each of the study/studies upon which these findings is/are based, including the statistical parameters of each, and
    – a detailed explanation/reconciliation of your evaluation about why the quoted study/studies is/are consistent with the terms of reference indicated at 3. above.
    5. Please indicate, on the basis of the degree of your understanding or non-understanding of difficult interrogatories in a Liberal Party of Canada-style “evidence-based” approach to public policy, your instructional/retributive weapon of choice:
    a) a version with pictures (can we get you one, to help improve your understanding of the “evidence-based” process?),
    b) a real Mann hockey stick to the head of each of your interrogators, and/or
    c) a complaint to the human rights commission of your choice (in case you think your interrogators are picking on you for no good reason).

  49. “Local produce” in those localities is seal. Not quite what our boy is used to.

  50. What you said.
    North Korean refugees, once in South Korea, seek dental help due to starvation. They then seek psychological help for the horrors they experienced.
    When is de Schutter going to buck the trend of the Euro-nosy parker and make himself useful by denouncing the UN and North Korea?
