Old Vic Toews soaring from strength to strength

Vic Toews has had one hell of a run as Minister of Public Safety.

Harper's get-tough-on-crime crowd doesn't get any tougher than Old Vic. Remember his uncompromising stand on internet privacy? Only pedophiles and child-pornographers would have any possible interest in preserving internet privacy, according to Old Vic.

You're either with the censors or with the child-rapists. No room for nuanced argument in Vic's world.

Then he got rid of non-Christian chaplains in the Canadian prison system. As well he should. It's a 'friggin prison system, not a madrassa network for God's sake!

And you can't get tough enough on crime unless your'e getting tough on criminals, especially the ones already behind bars, and most especially on those lifers with their BBQ socials.

Every Canadian can rest easy that Old Vic faced down that threat to the tough-on-crime agenda.

Now Toews has moved on to a new controversy. In a unique public-private partnership, Toews has become the de-facto executive producer of a new reality cop show called Border Security.

This show will give viewers the chance to see real border security guys, kitted out in bullet-proof vests and the finest armaments, scaring the bejeesus out of "undocumented workers" as they round them up and pack them off to prison!

Keep up the great work, Vic! Canada is a safer land for your efforts.

Border Security; best review of a reality TV show ever

Thank you Ian Mulgrew at the Vancouver Sun.

That's the thing about "reality television."

It's always possible that your discomfort, annoyance, indignation, or outright suffering can become somebody's entertainment.

Speaking of which, I've got a new show in development where me and my camera crew tag along as HR types fire people from their jobs!

It's hilarious!

You wouldn't believe the sniveling and the grovelling that folks will stoop to when told their employment has been terminated!

Laughs abound!
