How Deep, Señor Maduro?

Education is no longer a priority for many poor and middle-class Venezuelans who are swept up in the all-consuming quest for food amid a wave of looting and riots.
Between 30 percent and 40 percent of Venezuelan teachers fail to show up at school each day, mainly because they are standing in lines for food or medicine, their biggest union estimates.
Pupils’ attendance is also dropping because children have not eaten, know there will be no food at school, or must line up and help their parents shop, according to the union.
Frequent power and water cuts are disrupting classes, and schools have been closed on Fridays for about the last two months.

Given the left’s iron grip on modern miseducation, it’s hard to know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Them’s Good Eats

Readers may recall this video of a Moscow supermarket circa 1990, in which shoppers are clearly both thrilled and morally elevated by the egalitarian retail experience. Taking turns to smell the one piece of grey meat available, and then leaving it where it is, was, I’m assured, a way for the proletariat to celebrate the obvious superiority of socialism.

One of these.

Wynneing!

What explains the Ontario Liberal government’s $7 billion Climate Change Action Plan, which will infringe on people’s freedom, impose debilitating costs, set impossible targets and fail to produce meaningful reductions in GHG emissions? The only answer can be ideological fervour, divorced from economic or practical reality.

Stupid voters aided and abetted by an equally ideological media? Just a guess.
But wait – there’s more!

How Deep, Señor Maduro?

Fruits of socialism;

With delivery trucks under constant attack, the nation’s food is now transported under armed guard. Soldiers stand watch over bakeries. The police fire rubber bullets at desperate mobs storming grocery stores, pharmacies and butcher shops. A 4-year-old girl was shot to death as street gangs fought over food.
Venezuela is convulsing from hunger.

Don’t worry, our socialism is different.
