Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
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."

See how all the happy, shiny, positive people turn into monsters ? THAT is called Socialism. Marketed with happy thoughts … PAID FOR in blood, death, and destruction. Too bad your highly paid college professors left out that last part.
“Lets impose socialism. whatever that is…” Me smart.
“The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.” – Frederic Bastiat
Well, I get stuff, right?
Some context is important here. The fall of the Berlin Wall was 27 years ago. Most of these children hadn’t even been born then. So they have utterly no idea what State Socialism, that is, Communism, was actually like.
Yes, they’re more ignorant than pig-swill. Kenji is partly right; this is entirely the fault of an increasingly dismal education system.
This all goes back to Jean Jacques Rousseau and the idea of the noble savage. Man is supposed to be good in his natural state and is tainted by civilization.The hero of the Marxists.
Two things to note:
1) This is why we need a Biblical deluge of mass immigration, to dilute these people out. The millenials also aren’t big fans of freedom of speech. Anyone who opposes this hates freedom.
2) The millenial love of socialism is as shallow as millenials are in general. That’s why this prize is way crappier than the left thinks it is. Many of them will leave behind their stupid shallow political convictions when they leave school and get a real paycheck-but they are still dangerous.
You say…..”this is entirely the fault of an increasingly dismal education system.” I would take it one step further and say “this is entirely the GOAL of an increasingly dismal education system.”
What is socialism? Everything is free.

been there, done that… vast underemployed, multi-generational
jamaican diaspora landed on jane-finch area of toronto…
mayhem ensued.

I think you have that exactly right and these poor indoctrinated students do not have a clue as to what living under unfettered socialism actually is like. The Venezuelans are finding out.
Paraphrasing Nancy Pelosi: “We have to adopt socialism so we can find out what it’s like”. Because reading a book or visiting a hell hole would be too difficult without a professor to tell me how to think about everything.
Ho! Ley! Shit!!!
One would hope that the engineers and science majors that are in schools at present are doing better in math than these fools are doing in, I would assume, political science, or basket weaving or whatever they assume that they are going to get paid for doing in their chosen occupations.
That is bloody scary.
Beware people that want to help but don’t have the means.
That young adults are dressed in playclothes for an interview says much about them. But then, our democratically-elected school trustees shave their heads, grow odd bits of hair on their chins, and wear knee-pants and tees while disposing of the people’s business and the people’s taxes.
I lay this down directly on our unionized education system, you know the one, great hours, great pay, and a huge pension paid by everybody else. They on the ones that hide the true meaning of socialism and teach kids the BS they use to form there decisions for life.
None of the folks being interviewed understand that government has no money of it’s own.
They seem to assume that government is rich or even wealthy in it’s own right.
Governments do go bankrupt.
I’d guess that if the interviewer brought up the present plight of Venezuela, these people would not have heard of the situation.
You want socialism, here you go.
Give me you hat, latte, cell phone, computer, car, laptop, tablet, shoes, eventually your cutlery, all other possessions, your free thoughts, of course all your money, and finally your life.
It’s like singing Moonshadow as a hippie anthem, not realizing its hopeful, but also dark message, even if the latter was unintended by Cat/Jusuf:
If you take my stuff … I won’t have to work no more
If you take my self reliance … I won’t have to care no more
If you take away my joy … I won’t have to cry no more
If you take away my freedom … I won’t have to talk no more
