Pent-up anger unites the land
Majority share bond of frustration, poll finds
Richard Foot, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Monday, July 28, 2008
Gilbert Murphy could take it no more. The price of diesel had topped $1.40 a litre, and he knew it would get more expensive a week later, thanks to British Columbia's incoming carbon tax.
Mr. Murphy was mad. The 74-year-old horse rancher and former oil rig worker couldn't understand how gas prices could climb so high, so fast, in a country so rich in oil.
"But I figured I can't bitch about it if I don't do something," he says.
So on June 21, he and a posse of irate neighbours near Williams Lake, B.C., hitched up their horses -- six wagon teams and 24 outriders in all -- and rode 32 kilometres down the highway into town and back, to protest the rising price of fuel.
"We're going back to the old ways," the horsemen hollered. The protest parade slowed traffic on the road, but only one passing motorist gave them the finger, says Mr. Murphy. Everyone else "honked their horns in support and cheered us on." Continued

| Canadian men have been feminized by Canadian women - the majority of whom (at least in Toronto) are indistinguishable from Bull-dykes. |

You've got that right! That last time I was in Toronto, every male I came across looked like a dyke lesbian. Of course that was downtown.

Men have been blaming women for stealing their dangly bits ever since the Garden of Eden.
Any man who'd let a girl run off with his manhood was never a man to begin with.

They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain
the Whole world is festering iwht unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like Anybody very much.
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lucky day
Someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow Man

55% percent of Canadians will bitch and moan and nothing will change.

In Ontario make that 99.9%.
The rest will shoot or knife somebody, or run over him with their parents' car.....

Mainly because all that nagging and complaining is followed up by "but what can you do" 
And by the bay the definition of a bitch is Babe In Total Control of Herself.

| Sadly most people can't or won't connect the dots. They want low taxes but they want cradle to grave benefits and insurance against all possible misfortune. Canadians want to save the environment and put up every hurdle and roadblock in front of business and then want cheap prices and high paying jobs. Canadians want to get a good return on their mutual fund investments in their RRSP's but can't stand the thought of a company making a profit. It's really quite comical listening to the whining. The result of this will be people voting the Liberals back in power that are to a great extent responsible for the mess we are in in the first place. If the government has made a mess of something the people want more government intervention just to prove that the government is incapable of runnung any enterprise. Canadians love paying more taxes. They only say they don't. I can see Canadians voting in the Libs and paying the LPC 50 cent a litre carbon tax and blaming it on the oil companies or the CPC. The Toronto Star and the CBC will have all the experts available to explain it to you. |

Just refer to the thread about the family with 18 children -- Canadians want 18 children and they want other people to pay for their food, clothing, shelter, education, transportation, entertainment, upbringing, jailing, bailing, trials, rehab and burial.
I have an old New Yorker cartoon showing a man at a bookstore demanding, "I want a book on chutzpah, AND I WANT YOU TO PAY FOR IT!"
That's Canada.

I thought 'bitch' was the status you assume when you lose in a contest of skill?

I was actually referring to the social engineering that has been occurring over the last 40 odd years. The fact that men in Toronto look like women and the women act like men is merely a product.
Toronto is like one giant experiment gone bad, really, really effing bad. The only thing that is keeping me here is my job and my family. I long to be in a place where both sexes have maintained their traditional roles, Calgary and Montreal are like a foreign country when juxtaposed to Toronto.
This town is a freak show now. The area I work in is crawling with lesbians. |

Canadian men used to lead the charge, now we are led. This country will never right itself until the men reclaim their manhood.
The trouble is, the younger ones don't know what manhood is. |
