Leave The Prime Minister Alone

-

Pierre Trudeau was a prime minister of Canada. Justin Trudeau his son, is the current one.

Political parties that don’t see eye to eye with the Prime Minister in Ottawa are very annoying. Their solution for solving problems that affect us, the voters is to get rid of Justin Trudeau. It’s an old playbook that doesn’t work because Canadians want stability, a government that works and by government I mean three main political parties that disagree but compromise, for Canadians.

In fact, it is understandable if ‘fire’ Trudeau comes from the Conservative Party because it wants to be the next government. That is Canada’s opposition party. Now it’s internal. Some Liberals who belong to the same party as Prime Minister Trudeau want him gone. And replace him with what exactly? Whoever comes in will use the same parliamentary rules and regulations that made Trudeau inadequate.

As for Canadians, we have a wider view of ‘the government.’ Flaws or not, Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister. Yes, we vote Bloc Quebecois if we live in Quebec Province. We also vote for the Conservative Party and the NDP, but when we talk about ‘the government’ we mean men and women in Ottawa, working as a unit to provide for us. That is democracy. It is not by ripping off the carpet and changing drapes every time the Prime Minister of a country does something opposition parties don’t like.

The next Canadian general election is 12 months away. That gives disgruntled Liberal Party M.P.’s enough time to strategize about how to get rid of their leader Justin Trudeau. For now, he is head of the class and opposition parties should not use us as pawns, to further their ambition. We have things better things to do, trying to make ends meet. The Conservative Party, NDP and Bloc Quebecois have a lot of time on their hands. That is why every disagreement ends with ‘fire’ Trudeau.

We, the voters will fire him because personally, I don’t understand how he wants to run again in 2025. What is this? Is Canada a Trudeau dynasty? Canada is not a monarchy therefore, he should forget about being prime minister again. But for now, he is, and his disgruntled Liberal M.P.’s should concentrate on making their constituents happy, so that they get re-elected in 2025.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
