Red Scare at Swedish Teenager O'Clock

I think the smartest way forward re saving ourselves from our own filth is to stop trying to "get ahead". I mean, who are we trying to "get ahead" of, and what does it mean to "get ahead" anyway?

Of course, we don't need any more middle-class people, either, since middle-class people just increase our overall carbon footprint and vote Conservative.

Ugh. What a mess. The more wealth we have the bigger our carbon footprint and the more likely it is we'll vote Conservative.

On an unrelated note, I wonder how hard it would be for Greta Thunberg to turn the millennial vote Marxist. Like, if she wanted  to, and I'm not saying she does. Just, you know, I wonder.

Because if you ask me Marx's "each according to his ability, to each according to her needs" sounds about right.

Oh relax. Nobody ever does. Nor should they.

And They All Fall Down

Here it is, I guess: Ming Solenya Nethery

Hang 'em high.

Speaking of Treason

Why is Stephen Harper trying to tank Canadian markets all the time by giving speeches to Americans about how nobody wants to invest here? Like, is that legal? I mean, he was privy to all kinds of confidential information while he was Prime Minister of Canada, you'd think there'd be some kind of law, or at least a code of honour-

Haha - Stephen Harper - code of honour. Sorry, eh. I must have had rainbows and unicorns for breakfast.

Never mind.

America, Land of Patriots

It's weird how the United States, what with that patriotism on steroids thing it has going on, can withstand so much treason. I mean, you'd think the thievery alone would have been enough for the Founding Fathers to rise from the dead, rip up the Constitution, and stomp back down to hell. But even daily televised treason with Vladimir Putin and a medley of mobsters doesn't seem to elicit much more than Americans dissing Nancy Pelosi online for seeming to base her strategy on that "driving to the Hamptons" episode of Seinfeld where Susan's parents out last George on his lie-a-thon about having a place in the Hamptons.

Black Like Conrad

So here's something to keep in mind if you bother reading convicted felon Conrad Black's hit piece on Justin Trudeau in the National Post - he and Barbara Amiel both show up in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book. As a couple, like.

Hey, I'm juss sayin'.

Men

I can't take lectures from men anymore on politics so I won't.

I don't care if Justin Trudeau was a douchebro. I don't care if he still is a douchebro.

Pro-choice, physician assisted dying legislation to get that ball rolling or tossed out by the Supreme Court, legal weed and it's working out in spite of those idiot thug premiers Canadians elect for some godforsaken reason, Feminism finally being the signature of a federal Canadian government, diversity and immigration and LGBTQ rights and awareness of the need for reconciliation with Indigenous Canadians being constants on the agenda.

Fuck off with your moralizing superiority, you privileged pricks.

Coynesplainin' Women of Colour

So last night I braved the news because I decided not to care if Stephen Harper who heads up a global outfit electing fascists in liberal democracies-

Oh, did I say Stephen Harper? I meant, Andrew Scheer. I decided not to care if Andrew Scheer wins.

Anyway, it was At Issue night on The National. Fortunately, I'm a Rosie Barton fan, so that part went well. She's the same. But then a weird thing happened where Althea Raj, of whom I'm a also a fan, said that Jagmeet Singh's second response to the photos of Justin Trudeau in blackface (the weirdest fucking thing to happen in Canada since Mackenzie King) was more calculated than his first response, which was more immediate (let's say). Then she qualified her statement to ensure viewers understood that she didn't mean calculated in a bad way because being more calculated isn't (necessarily) a bad thing.

At which point Andrew Coyne sort of interrupted her to say the exact same thing - without attribution - as if telling viewers that it's not necessarily bad for a politician to be more calculated in their response to another politician's incredibly offensive boneheadery come to light was HIS idea. And the rest of the panel, Chantal Hebert, of whom I'm also a fan, and a gentleman of whom I'm also a fan but have no idea of his name such that I can't even google him, didn't even slap him off his stool.

I think I would have. For sure Justin Trudeau would have. So there's that.
