Natural Disasters Make Great Photo Opportunities!

Went to Wendy’s for supper this evening. Parked the car, and noticed how full the parking lot was. Most of the tables in the restaurant were full.

So, went in, and there was none other than Joe Preston, Wendy’s owner, and our Federal Member of Parliament, standing in front of a television camera. Off to the side was Steve Peters, our Provincial Member of Parliament. There were St. Thomas Police Officers and St. Thomas Fire Fighters, all in full uniform.

The Canadian Red Cross was there, doing a fundraiser for the Haiti earthquake. I really wanted to donate, but thankfully, my Federal Government has already committed my hard earned tax dollars towards the Haiti earthquake, without even consulting me.

It’s good to know that this Government, who uses my hard earned tax dollars to kill babies while they are inside their mothers, can also give my money to help people in the Haiti earthquake.

Canada's Guardian Angels

Imagine someone coming to your dwelling, you open the door, you can’t understand what they are saying, so they force their way in, and beat you to a bloody pulp.

Now, the authorities know who did this, but they are not arrested, not charged with anything, and are allowed to continue on with their life.

You, however, can no longer work, as your vision is still blurry, and you are still in pain from this assault.

It was unfortunate that you were not the person they intended to beat. You have no recourse, by the way.

Such is the life of 44-year-old Yao Wei Wu, of Vancouver. The attackers were two police officers.

The Chief of the Vancouver police did visit him in the hospital, and said he was sorry for what the police officers did to him.

Are these incidents just odd occurrences, or is this the way that all National, Provincial, and Municipal police forces operate?

How many incidents like this does the public not know about?

The police should be treated just like they treat the public. They should be considered guilty until proven innocent. They should be put in jail, until their case comes to trial in a year or two. They should have their names dragged through the media. After all, the process is the punishment.

Canada has deteriorated into a police state. The police are above the law, and are the Guardian Angels of the Left-Wing Extremists. They are trained to kill. Not all police are bad apples, but the media has been showing us that few in the bunch are still good.

Yes, the media. Surely the media can provide us with articles of police doing positive things. Why does the media not print such articles?

Be careful, folks, it’s dangerous out there. The media says so.

Barbara Kay: Man-hating nonsense

Another great column from Canada's Barbara Kay. You can read it at http://www.barbarakay.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=425&Itemid=10

Passport

Left this morning for the Passport Office in London, Ontario, at 8:00am. Got back home here at 9:55am.

The process was very streamlined this time, didn't have to wait but a few minutes. There were 2 pre-screeners, both male. There were 10 processors, one of which was male.

With only 25% of the employees at the Passport Office of the male gender, the Government should be ashamed of themselves, as this shows a lack of employment equity, as there was not a balance among the genders.

Had 25% of the staff been comprised of the female gender, I'm sure that the feminist's screams would be so loud, that by the end of the day, all male employees would be gone.

Letter write Walley Keeler, of Cobourg, Ontario, put it best in a letter to the editor in today's National Post: "When feminist's called for equality, they actually meant domination."

The CHP won’t win, but I’m voting for them

The CHP will not win, but here are a few reasons why I’m voting for them in the next election;

They will eliminate all income tax, and replace it with a consumption tax. You will still be taxed, but on what you purchase, not what you earn.

They will replace the Canada Pension Plan with a new Personal Security Income Account that belongs to you, not the Government of Canada.

If one parent stays at home while the other parent works, the family would receive $1,000 a month to raise their children until age 18.

They will require criminals to make restitution to the victim.

As I said, the CHP will not win, and here are a few reasons why;

At the present time, the strict guidelines of the CHP do not allow them to run a Candidate in every Federal riding. This is a good thing, as they are seeking only quality candidates.

They rely strongly on Christian Churches to get them elected. As the number of Christian Churches in Canada continues to dwindle, so do their chances for being elected.

These past few elections have seen voter turnout plunge to extremely low levels. The CHP needs the votes from those who are not voting. These non-voters are the ones who feel that the system has failed. They know that, regardless of who they vote for, it will be the same circus, just different clowns.

The CHP distance themselves from certain media outlets, as the CHP do not want “unfavourable coverage”.

I had to think what Jesus would say about this.

I turned to Luke 19:1-10, and saw what Jesus did about "unfavourable coverage". Here was Jesus, coming to find and restore the lost. Yet everyone criticized him for finding and restoring one who was lost!

I also turned to Romans 12, and thought that instead of the CHP distancing itself from certain media outlets, the CHP should instead be trying to build good relations with all media outlets.

Hiding from certain media outlets does nothing for the CHP. It makes me feel that the CHP consist only of Rabbit Hole Christians (http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/2005/03/10/devotion.aspx)

If the CHP expect to get enough votes to have elected Members of Parliament, they are going to have to deal with this "unfavourable coverage", and learn to build bridges, instead of tearing bridges down.

The CHP should use some of their funds and place advertisements in newspapers, calling people to meetings, so that the people can learn of the positive ideas the CHP has.

Increasing public awareness is the only way the CHP can get the votes of people who do not presently vote. When the CHP starts placing third, or second, in each Federal riding, this will send a wake-up call to the presently elected political parties, and will force them to re-think the devastating laws they have implemented on all Canadian Taxpayers.

So, come next election, join me in voting for the CHP, if they are running a candidate in your riding. They won’t get elected, so you’ve nothing to lose, but have a lot to gain.
