Well…getting ahead of the “second amendment fever” that has infected the US, Canada has announced some really sensible gun laws in the past couple of days banning the importations, sale, or transfer of handguns along with outright banning of 1400 different kinds of assault weapons and imposing a strict buyback of those weapons so no one will be able to possess them. All I have to say to that is good on ya Canada…maybe our politicians will see how sensible those regulations are and start taking the baby steps to get some of the 300 million guns off our streets…ha,ha…yeah, that made me do a sick laugh, too…as long as the repubs have their hands out to the NRA there will continue to be mass slaughter of people here in the US and lies that banning guns has no effect…all we need to do is look at the 10 year ban on assault weapons we had here in the 90′s to see how big of a lie that is…mass shootings dropped by more than half after the ban and continued to fall until the repubs let the ban expire in 2004…and started the crazy rise in the slaughter of children that now makes guns the leading cause of death for children and teenagers. Don’t feed me the 2nd amendment bullshit, either…the only reason the second amendment is in the bill of rights is that the southern slaveowners knew they would have to have locally controlled militias to protect their ability to own slaves…it’s as simple as that….every other damn country in the world doesn’t allow the kind of crap that goes on here every day…over 230 mass shootings in the country already this year? When are we going to get tired of seeing children murdered? With the NRA’s help, probably never….

The stupidity, it burns…
Well…I know you’re probably tired of reading about how stupid the idiot trump is…probably almost as tired as I am of writing about it…but, cripes…when he attacks Canada with some ignorant bullshit, I do need to comment. I’m sure you’ve heard of the phone call that the idiot boy had with Trudeau where Trudeau asked trump why Canada is a national security risk to the US, the excuse that trump used to impose tariffs on Canada. What did the idiot say to that? He said “you guys burned down the WH”…..just jaw dropping stupidity and ignorance. Every damn school kid knows that it was the British who burned the WH in the war of 1812…Canada wasn’t even a country yet in 1812 so how could they have done it? But, that doesn’t matter to the idiot in chief…just another instance where he makes crap up to score what he thinks is a political point and that blows up in the faces of all of us….when are you going to do something about this moron, repubs? November can’t come soon enough for 60% of the country….impeach…
Trump really is winning…
Well… to see the damage that the idiot trump has done to the presidency and the US’s standing in the world, you just have to listen to real world leaders descriptions of the idiot….they find it impossible to hold a coherent conversation with him….let that sink in a bit…the “president” can’t even hold a coherent conversation and after only a few interactions with the idiot, here’s what Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada has decided: that trying to communicate about anything of substance with trump and his cronies is a “lost cause” and their workaround is to basically ignore him and go straight to the states and cities that they want to deal with. Here’s the thing…. after all of the bluster that he would “negotiate the best deals”, trump has no partners left to negotiate with…almost the entire world, other than the dictators the idiot so loves, has sized him up for the moron that he is and have said that they will just ignore the US until he’s gone…wow…this is really making America great again, isn’t it? Impeach….
Oh Canada…
Well…with all of the posturing and bigotry by the repubs here regarding the Syrian refugees and their repeated attempts to make it harder for them to settle here, we only have to look to our north to see how the refugee crisis should be handled. You know I’ve talked about the Canadians before and how much I like and respect them for their good nature and resonableness…and yesterday was no exception. When the Syrian refugees that are going to settle in Canada arrived there yesterday, guess what he response was….not fear, not loathing, not bigotry like they see here in the US but a welcome from the prime minister in person who said “you are home” as he met them. This is the newly elected liberal PM Trudeau not the conservative ass that held the office before. What the hell is wrong with us when we can’t do that? Where is the “American exceptionalism” that the right goes on and on about? For a country with a 10th of our population and economy the Canadians are taking on more than double the refugees that we have committed to and that is just shameful…what would be a better way to show the world we care about something more than war than to do everything we can to help refugees from around the world? I salute our neighbors to the north for showing us what it means to be human at a time where we appear to have lost our way.
Canadians rioting?
Well….I had to talk a little about this…I’m sure you’ve heard about the riots that happened in Vancouver after the Canucks lost game 7 of the Stanley Cup, and it is something I never thought I’d see…Canadians? rioting? Those are just two things I never thought I’d see in the same sentence….here in the US, yes, because we are passionate people that can be wild at times and go overboard in both joy and sorrow. But the Canadians always seemed to be on Prozac….not too high, not too low, but moderation in everything, eh? When we lost the cup in 7 to Pittsburgh a couple of years ago, everyone just went home and said we’ll get them next year….are the Canadians becoming us? Hope not…the world needs more Canadians in it, not more Americans….that didn’t sound right…this is still the best country in the world but I love the way we can look to the north when we go overboard and see the calmer, gentler example that the Canadians normally set.
