Ryerson University to banish statue of Nelson Mandela

Ryerson's Board of Governors promised immediate steps to cleanse the name of Nelson Mandela from it's campus. The shocking move came after researchers at Ryerson's School of Anti-fascist Fashion Studies uncovered photographic evidence disclosing the icon's previously unknown links to white supremacy.

University wokesperson Ima Winer announced the school will take immediate steps to rename the Nelson Mandela Safe Space in the BIPOC Studies building, and would remove the Nelson Mandela statue in its Freedom Square forthwith.

Ryerson School of Anti-fascist Fashion Studies to return millions to white-supremacist donors

The Board of Governors at Canada's prestigious Ryerson University has voted unanimously to return $50 million to the family of Ted Rogers after evidence emerged of the family's secret support for white supremacy.

Wonder what's gonna happen when the wokesters see these picture of Donald Trump with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Nelson Mandela?

"Herd immunity" no big deal after all - experts

Remember back in the early months of the Covid Fever, the pursuit of herd immunity was the over-arching goal of our war with the virus? Well, fuggedaboutit! Whatever science the experts promoting that hoax were following has apparently been eclipsed by new science. 

Check out this headline at CBC News: We probably won't achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 anytime soon, but it's OK, experts say.

Yup, forget about what the CBC's experts told you last week - that is so last week, and this is a fast-moving pandemic, in case you hadn't noticed. This week's experts have done some mathematical modelling, you know, like Neil Ferguson, and whadya know, herd immunity isn't the be-all and end-all that those other experts made it out to be.

What a relief!

Not only are Canadians suffering Covid Fatigue, many of us are also coming down with a new Variant Of Concern; Expert Bullshit Fatigue. By now the average news consumer must have figured out that for every expert chosen to put in front of the TV cameras, there are other experts, just as qualified, who would happily contradict them. Deciding which experts are allowed a platform is a matter politics, not science.

The most obvious clue that Biden's election was fixed

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that the Dem's dirty dealing subverted the course of US democracy. After all, "US Democracy" is to actual democratic governance approximately what World Wrestling Entertainment is to martial arts, ie a flashy but eminently fake impostor. That's not random opinion or conspiracy theory; it's the conclusion of researchers at elite US universities.

The fact that American democracy is dead on the vine makes upholding the democratic spectacle that much more important, and that's more or less what the "democratic process" has become. The people must maintain their faith in the system at all costs, hence the over-the-top hyperbole leading up to November 3. Voters on both sides were regaled with scary stories about how this was the most important election in their lifetimes because it was their last chance to either save America from a fascist dictatorship or a communist dictatorship.

In the face of such risible hokum, the poorly educated but highly excitable American public responded by allegedly voting in record numbers, and by next morning, the designated bad guy was already outraging the known universe claiming dirty deeds. Of course he was; that's what bad guys do! Just ask Vince McMahon.

It was at this point that the Dem machine, confident that they had run a squeaky-clean campaign, might have said something along the lines of, "nothing to hide here, bring on any kind of investigation you want."

That's not what happened. Instead, the entire party apparatus and the Dem-aligned media universe exploded in hysterical umbrage that the Orange Ogre, that fat, racist, Putin-loving swine, would have the shameless audacity to besmirch the integrity of the DNC!

There's your clue!

America's terminal delusion

It's ten o'clock at night and I just got in from the front stoop. The frogs in the marsh across the way are singing up a storm. I'm happy to report that frogs and songbirds are doing well in this neck of the woods.

On the other hand, there's a nuclear power plant an hour down the road, and a proposal to locate a nuclear waste dump between here and there, so hedge your bets.

While I live in an idyllic storybook landscape, with stone fence-rows out front, and a nuclear reactor out back, I can't help but think that in a worst case scenario, that nuclear plant could become a serious threat to my quality of life.

That's why I'm perturbed by the tone of Sinophobic, Russophobic, and anti-Iran propaganda that has been unleashed in Western media. You can't open your Globe and Mail without tripping over a war-mongering rant penned by somebody from a think tank with intimate ties to the war-making industry.

Buried in the midst of the cliche-ridden pile of piffle that Sleepy Joe delivered to the United States of Amnesia the other night, was the claim that America's greatest strength is the power of our example, rather than the example of our power.

Sounds good, but let's take a closer look. 

What exactly are we talking about, when we talk about the example of our power?

Americans are relentlessly bombarded with the message that their invincible military bestrides the globe unchallenged.

In reality, that invincible military is pulling the plug on Afghanistan, because after twenty years, they're finally admitting they got beat by a bunch of part-time fighters, generally goat-herders and opium farmers, who only got out their WWII era AK-47s for fighting season.

So now, the masterminds of that mission figure they want to take on Russia, China, and Iran?

At the same time?

Ya, I know it looks crazy, but the truth is there's crazy people in Washington who truly believe they can keep provoking three countries with way more kill capacity than the Afghan resistance and somehow prevail. 

What's even more scary, is that they see their "window of opportunity" only lasting so long.

Be afraid.

Don't believe the headlines; real estate is cheap and plentiful in Canada

Check out this two-bedroom charmer with ocean view out in New Brunswick, for under $100k!

Who can even imagine such a thing! Sure, in the country as a whole, the average house now trades for 700k plus, but who says you have to live in the average house?

Why not decamp to a small town overlooking the Bay of Fundy? I did a job search at the Canada Job Bank, and if you don't mind working with seniors, the local LTC home is paying their PSWs over twenty bucks an hour, and they're hiring!

There's tons of Toronto LTC homes hiring right now for wages less than that.

Twenty bucks an hour goes way further in New Brunswick than it does in Toronto.

Go east, young PSW!

Your daily dose of China hate

Here's just a small taste, to give you a sense of the flavour;

... the US and its allies must make regime change in China the highest goal of their strategy toward that country.

Wow! That's one-time UK diplomat Roger Garside promoting his latest book, China Coup: The great Leap to Freedom, in the pages of The Globe and Mail this morning.

The West's great civilizing mission lives on. Having successfully democratized Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, it's time for America and her democratic allies to move on to bigger challenges.

Mr. Garside has full confidence in this strategy, because he knows that it will have the support of China's wealthy elite. This is of course the necessary pre-condition for any of the West's adventures in democratic regime overthrow. Wealthy elites are always the prime beneficiaries of our endeavours. 

As we ramp up our provocations in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Xinjiang, let our motto be "Democracy and Freedom for China's one percenters!"
