24 Replies to “If It Wasn’t For Government”

  2. Media does it all the time. I don’t know if they’re conditioning people but I’ve seen a lot of this lately where they talk to you as if you were born yesterday.
    My favourite is advising you what to wear when temps get below a certain temperature and of course wear sunscreen because the “UV is high today” which oddly enough as is always high when the sun’s out.
    Oh, and this nugget of wisdom: “It’s foggy this morning folks…so you might want to take a little extra precaution when driving and leave a little earlier for work”.
    No shit Sherlock. As if I drive like an effing maniac when it isn’t.
    Annoying as hell.

    1. It’s all because so many good citizens are whinny soy boys and girls and whatever’s. They demand to have their hands held by government officials. It’s now the most common Canadian trait. How else do you explain a Trudeau government?

      1. Chris…..We have a Trudeau government because we do not have very good citizens, at least not very intelligent ones.

    2. Global in Vancouver used to have this really annoying young woman who was always telling us to “stay hydrated”. Just think of the millions of us who would have died of thirst, were it not for her.

      She may still be annoying watchers- I wouldn’t know. I quit that garbage years ago.

    1. “…there are times when it’s not worth it to drag it out.”

      True. For those times, I pull out my noisy, polluting, but very effective 2 stroke leaf blower. Had it for 3 years now. Between it and the snow blower I’ve done very little shoveling, despite the fact that I do between 3 and 6 sets of sidewalks, driveways & walkways every time it snows.

      1. Bless ye ♡ Alberta men…sometimes a neighbour helps me too and I laughingly accuse him of stealing my snow!

        1. Nancy Ross, you’re welcome.

          It’s not in my makeup to sit in the comfort of my house and watch 70-, 80- and 90 year olds shovel snow. My conscience won’t allow it. ‘Sides, if Mom found out, she’d kick my butt, and rightly so.

          There’s an adorable couple across the street & down a bit, she’s 94, he’s 97. They go for 2 walks every day, him with a walker, her holding onto his arm, weather permitting, . And I’m not talking cloudy skies, either. It’s has to be damn cold & lots of snow before they decide not to venture out.

          Last month I had the leaf blower out, blowing snow off their driveway, walkway & sidewalk. I was about two hours into my routine at that point. It was coolish, -15 or so & I was covered in snow, my beard & moustache thick w/ icicles. The door cracks open & she runs out in her slippers & without a jacket, thanking me for being a good neighbour. I gave her a hug, told her not to tell anybody because I had a reputation to protect, then hustled her back inside.

          The gratitude in her eyes made me feel like I’d plow snow with my forehead all damn day.

          I don’t even know their names.

          Another neighbour approached me prior to the snow season last fall, asked if I’d look after snow removal for him. He’d been diagnosed w/ terminal cancer & was weak from the disease & the treatments. Him & his wife both in their 70’s. Sure, no problem!

          Also last month, I’m blowing the snow off their doorstep. Door cracks open, I shut off the blower. It was his daughter, from Vancouver, letting me know he had passed two days back. She referred to me as the guy next door who had been on snow duty all winter. Apparently her Mom & Dad had talked about it. She couldn’t believe that someone would do that. Hailing from Vancouver…

          I’m nobody’s hero. Just a simple, grass-roots kinda guy with a decent upbringing, taught the virtue of helping one’s neighbours in need and wanting to be left alone by his gov’t.

    2. Rope handles are for the municipal workers who spend too much time learning on their shovels.

  7. I’d rather die with my boots on shovelling snow then listen to these nanny-state, sky-is-falling, pole-smokers.
    The worst humans on earth are the ones telling you how you should live so you don’t die.
    And anyone who listens to them is also your enemy.

    1. Buddy

      The best permanent remedy for these smug arrogant sacks of shit spewing tgeir “life saving” prooaganda….is to simply cut the cord.

  10. None of this make sense.

    We’re supposed to be warming up. Weren’t we supposed to drown in coastal waters by now?

    (sarcasm function disabled)

  11. Millions of new people with heart trouble these last few years… might drop dead from the least physical exertion.

    I wonder what could have caused that?

  13. Oh no, “You are blocked from following this account and viewing their tweets.”

    For saying this:
    “Yes, be careful! It isn’t just athletes on the football that die suddenly.”

    Why is the health department censoring warnings to be careful?
