“Whatever has or has not happened in the aftermath of internal enquiries, it is evident they broke their own rules. It is also clear they didn’t fear the disease. While the rest of the population was missing weddings and funerals, leaving loved ones to die alone, the politicians and their advisors were secure in the knowledge that get togethers posed no risk at all.”
Of course. Wuhan flu hysteria was in aid of the removal from power of President Trump, then deemed the most clear and present threat to the Empire of Lies.
That’s why it was abandoned so completely when another threat arose. Wuhan flu was never a real threat to our masters. That’s why there were never sanctions against Red China for releasing a biological terror agent into the environment.
Russia’s assertion of her right to exist? That got their goddamn attention.
You are a left wing Ontario wannabe conservative .
OK, Boomer.
Easy to pick out the left wingers they know everything and have done nothing,eager to whine about everything even when a politician or anyone comes up with a good idea.That sad part is they think they’re not Ndp or Lieberal.About 80% or higher of posters fit into the category on here
I am not sure you are correct about most posting here but the population as whole like socialism and government control of their lives.
Awfully True there, unfortunately.
The idea that we noticed that they don’t care that we see their immoral and illegal behavior will somehow matter in the future seems like wishful thinking to me.
That is, unless they push just a bit too far and the revolution which could put the French “terror” to shame kicks off.
The signs were there long before Joe Depends shuffled onto the stage. While we suffered through the turdos, cretin, and fake conservatives like mulroney and campbell, the Yanks had carter, clinton, and W.
Reagan and Harper and Trump gave a bit of relief and false hope, but the flush levers had been pushed all the way down in the late 60s and early 70s.
The signs were there when the British empire began to fall, around Edwardian times.
All downhill from there, as the 20th century attested, and now the 21st, which is the residual fall of the short lived American empire.
Throughout both falls, Canada has been a minor delusion, whether in its Dominion form, or its post national form.
Concise history comment.
Happy Easter.
Almost like a certain generation had something to do with it.
So much moral corruption and it’s not just at the top. One son-in-law who teaches maths and physics at a Canadian university is currently struggling with trying to stop an epidemic of cheating. Even when confronted with the evidence, the majority are unrepentant. Apparently in their minds it is ok to try to cheat, it is up to the profs to try preventing it. Son-in-law says he’s had discussions with profs in other courses and disciplines and other universities – the same is happening elsewhere. This corruption is not just at the top but it starts there. And so we reap the harvest of years of example by society’s leaders who demonstrate that lying and dishonesty is the way to success, our current PM being an extreme case. No one is fooled, Justin, no one is fooled.
Your comments about cheating sound very familiar to me.
While I was teaching at Armpit College, I had students who openly cheated and felt absolutely no remorse. After all, I was told, if they hadn’t cheated, they wouldn’t have passed the course. In other words, the ends justified the means, but much of the blame rests with my employer. It portrayed itself as a “success factory”. If you pay your fees, you’re guaranteed to graduate and, no, failure was never an option, according to certain people there.
But I was also blamed for the cheating. If I hadn’t made the course “too tough”, they wouldn’t have considered doing things under the table. Uh-huh….. and the entrance requirement for prospective students was a pulse and $$$$. Anything which put that to the test was considered cruel and unusual. Actual talent, actual ability, an actual work ethic were never considered.
It didn’t help that certain administrators deliberately fudged certain student grades in order to get them to pass. I had several who got well below 50% and, yet, they managed to graduate even without following proper protocol and requesting supplemental exams.
I quit nearly 20 years ago.
I’m going to guess most of the cheaters don’t come from Anglo-Saxon stock.
When I started at Armpit College more than 30 years ago, most of the cheaters in the courses I taught weren’t from that group.
In one course during my last year, it was widespread.
The corruption spread from non-Anglo Saxons?
No, I think it was the general mentality that it was OK to cheat. It was in a service course and the department head was getting close to retirement and he didn’t want any hassles as he slowly faded into the sunset. He was such a milquetoast that he let the kiddies get away with whatever they liked and I was the one who got blamed. After all, I wasn’t part of his department, so he felt he had no commitment to support me.
They knew they were going to graduate, even when they started their second and final year. They started planning their graduation blowout right after term started.
To give you an example of how they knew, I had a number of students in that course finish with grades of less than 40%. About two months after I quit, the graduation list was published and their names were on it. That’s when I knew I made the right decision to punch out for good.
Funny fact of life, when the cheaters get away with it and there are no repercussions or penalties, it is only human nature to join them. Why should we penalize ourselves to be upright, honest and hold the moral highground when scallywags, knaves, lawyers, politicians, thieves and murderers have all abandoned the high ground since they are never held accountable. You don’t survive for very long when you play by the Marquess of Queensbury Rules and give your opponent free rein to do whatever he wants to beat you. As we are now seeing it is well past time to toss the Queensbury Rules and get down to their level, if that includes rigging an election so be it. You can either get buried trying to hold the moral highground or you can come down and get involved on the same level playing field that the other side has created, at least there if we are successful we then have a reasonable chance of once again forming a moral highground.
You can either get buried trying to hold the moral high ground
That was one reason I quit. There wasn’t much point in trying to uphold what was right and proper when all I got in return was trouble and misery. My so-called superiors weren’t interested in supporting me and used my efforts against me.
I can only tell you how I dealt with it. This was at University level, some years ago. I would have expected them to know better.
However .. One assignment was handed in, and I began marking them. It was fairly quickly obvious that several all had exactly the same answer, with exactly the same problems (not exactly errors, this was a programming assignment). it was also pretty clear to me who had done the original work.
I marked one and made all the appropriate comments on that. I deliberately did not choose to do this for the person that I was 99% certain had actually done the work. For the second one, I put a comment about this being very similar to person-1’s work, and to see him for the mark and comments. Person-3 was referred to person-2 etc. The originator was referred to the last in the chain, along with a comment about being more careful who you share your work with, especially if they can’t do better than copy it word for word.
At the next tutorial session there were a few worried expressions. I didn’t say any more. The person that did the original work stayed behind and said “Ok, lesson learned. I only did it to help XXX I had no idea it would get shared beyond that.”
Never had any more problems. They may have copied, but if so they spent significant effort at least making things look different.
I did almost the exact same thing over 40 years ago at a university. A group of Asian students would turn in the same answers to every question. I marked one paper and then referred the other students to the first paper for their mark. They got the hint. They probably still shared answers but at least they made it less obvious on future assignments. If they hadn’t I was going to mark one paper and then divide the mark by the number of papers with identical answers.
Your, and BADR’s stories, indicate the decline. Somehow, it is expected that ALL must go to university, just as they went to kindergarten and school. It hides the unemployment and feeds the entitlement and corrodes society.
I’m not happy.
When I started as a freshman undergrad, I knew I had to earn my rewards. Nowadays, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
One major difference between those early days and now is that credentials, and not necessarily education, have become a commodity to be purchased, not earned.
L – Western Universities, which inspired and challenged students to create and sustain the
greatest civilization in human history. Now intellectually and morally vacant, consisting of
a series of academic diorama. Where imitation faculty and imitation students attempt to hide
their vacuousness; that there is currently a negative return on the public investment.
This is all a political masquerade party, as the politicians in legislatures and Parliament are doing the same as the universities.
Federal and provincial politicians compete, sort of, to see who does the best imitation of the
Emperor Nero, by sacking their own cities.
The problem with politics is the rise of the professional political career ladder. Polysci 101 at university; internship with some MP or political organization; graft your way to a safe seat, possibly by initialy running in a no-hope seat; work the backbenches and be unctiou; get an underthingy position and then onto cabinet. Just don’t rock the boat, lick the boots and stick to the script
Robert, that path is (relatively) hard and fraught with unforeseen dangers. The broader problem is with Government, working your way to the top of the bureaucracy requires only a fealty to dogma, no talent or initiative, so then the Peter Principle is in full force. Senior bureaucrats are the real power, they protect and defend that power, and woe befall any politician who tries to change it. Unless, you get a Trump, who doesn’t care about remaining, look what it drove the entrenched power structure to do. Too many now cannot unsee what they have seen, the edifice is crumbling, slowly it seems, but it will be suddenly and all at once soon.
The only question is will men of good will have the fortitude to do what must be done? Nothing less than total destruction will suffice, and in that there will be innocent victims.
Don’t forget that, being at any level of management in the federal government requires rather fluent spoken (upgraded level since 1993), written and comprehension of FRENCH. I am a very good language learner, but had difficulty being given the opportunity to become verbally fluent, while easily passing written and comprehension. They started to cut back on opportunities for fulltime study in the ’80s. I took extra after work courses, but that was not enough. Westerners with junior/senior high level French need not apply, unless having attended French immersion schools.
Actually, I think your comments are too broad. I have met and worked with many hard-working, very talented, dedicated senior managers with high levels of integrity in the federal government across many departments and agencies.
You have to admit that political folks are a different breed, with little experience in running a country when elected or appointed by politicians. It is often department ministers and equity appointees who are the Peter- principled, although I did see the occasional loser transferred out somewhere with a promotion.
You have to fire incompetents within the first year – as a manager, I fired a PhD vis min, with all appropriate documentation.
Politicians often need a lot of guidance in how to get things done using the bureaucracy. And yes, the most senior bureaucrats must have political skills, not for power, but for communication. This may have evolved now, though. In fact I know that several times bureaucrats were seconded to the PMO to give various PMs advice on how to get policies through the system.
My experience with the most senior levels was from the 1980’s and earlier 90’s, so lots has changed. There was no uniform ethos whatsoever. That said, not so sure now. This may have evolved now, though. The welcome to PM Trudeau at Foreign Affairs absolutely horrified me, as those people violated their oath of office and neutrality. I always felt free to join conservatives, but on my own time and privately.
We are in big trouble. Full stop.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the elaborate ruse behind Operation Mincemeat is believed to have originated from the pen of Ian Fleming, later the creator of the fictional British MI6 agent James Bond. In a September 1939 memo shortly after the outbreak of war, he laid out 51 suggestions for “introducing ideas into the heads of the Germans.” The 28th — “not a very nice one,” admitted Fleming and his boss, the director of naval intelligence, Admiral John Godfrey — was that “a corpse dressed as an airman, with dispatches in his pockets, could be dropped on the coast, supposedly from a parachute that had failed.” The memo confidently — and, it later became evident, falsely –asserted that there was “no difficulty in obtaining corpses at the Naval Hospital.”
It sounds like it’s a remake of the Clifton Webb movie The Man Who Never Was.
