SOCIETY’S ISSUES TODAY; BLOG #2290; FRI MAR 19, 2021


THE COMEBACK:




I GET THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO BREAK UP WITH ME.






I THINK WE SHOULD TEST THAT IDEA.








THE MESSAGE:




SOCIETY’S  ISSUES TODAY

Read then think. Read again and consider. Read some more and then maybe you are ready to decide, or take a stand, or write a book. It is obvious that there exists at least two sides to every story. There also may exist a hidden agenda that seeks some form of personal favour. It may reveal itself in the quest for power, notoriety, money or some other form or advantage. Around the world, on some form of media, there are people or institutions that are interested in brainwashing innocent children, disadvantage adults, or poorly led governments. As comedian Russell Peters would say, quoting his father, “ Be a man!..Do the right thing!

SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT



TONY TODAY:





NEW DEMOCRATS

What is NEW about their whining criticisms of current Federal and Provincial policies? Are  they aware that Federal NDP leaders welcome Biden's plan to cancel Keystone XL? Are they not concerned that the loss of  related benefits  for all Canadians will suffer? Are their objectives designed to create a political reality to mimic that of Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the USA?

Isn't there a horse's ass in the middle?


 

ABORIGINALS


I received this argument recently. It raises some thoughts that many seniors have had for quite a while. These truths will offend some and get support from others.

Trudeau, what do Seniors get in the new Budget?

Think about those Residential Schools - While we small town and country kids were going to one-roomed schools that housed eight grades with only one teacher and our parents were buying our books, school supplies and clothing, the Indigenous native kids were in schools where they got a more balanced education, free room and board, free school books, free supplies (pencils, notebooks, etc.) and clothing. We were also abused and bullied by the heads of the schools. Oh yes, they are complaining that they lost their language. Do they think that we, the immigrants from Eastern Europe, were able to continue to speak our native tongue in schools? No! We all learned to speak, read and write in English and we're proud to have the opportunity to contribute to the development of this great country.

So, Mr. Trudeau, what do Seniors get in the new Budget?
Seniors outnumber Natives, so maybe you will resolve Seniors grievances sooner if Seniors choose to block the Trans-Canada Highway or the CN Rail lines? When reporters ask the protesting Seniors what they want, the Seniors can answer "The same as the Natives have been getting for years." (which is free dental, free eye care, free prescriptions, free post-secondary education, free transportation, no tax on gas and other commodities, no income tax, no tax on vehicles, free housing and many other things, all paid for by us, the tax payer.)

Seniors have paid taxes all their lives! Natives do not pay taxes !! And recently, now 600,000 Metis are considered Natives. Well Canada is also my home and Native land so I should be considered a Native since some of us too, were born here.

Seniors want the same as the Attawapiskat Band Members received from the Federal Government in 2014, $34 million for just 1500 people (that's $22,666 each) TAX FREE!

Instead, the Federal Government pays Seniors $7,200 in Social Security (and they still have to pay tax on that) after working 50 plus years, and AFTER they've paid their own way, their own kid's way, AND the ‘Natives' way. And the natives are demonstrating "Idle No More" and "Pipelines". Really??

It is time for seniors to react! We are just as entitled to protest as are the Natives. Something is very wrong with this picture.

BLACK LIVES MATTER




Of course they matter. I believe we ought to worry about babies' footprints rather than carbon ones! Give young blacks the chance to grow up in communities with nurturing parents, intelligent  leaders, good clean schools, great teachers, decent job opportunities, no criminal gang activities and pride in their families and leaders. 

Has BLM raised a lot of racial crap in the USA?  Was the aftermath which resulted from the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri designed to renew cries of racism or improve the situation in black communities? 

THE MUSIC:

SHANIA TWAIN AND WILLIE NELSON > BLUE EYES CRYIN IN THE RAIN 







THE STUFF:










THE PUN:

MY EX WIFE IS MISSING ME....BUT HER AIM IS GETTING BETTER.







THE QUESTION:




Should elected officials spend most of the time in their ridings?








THE LEMON:



Awarded to Dylann Storm Roof. Roof killed nine people, all blacks,, and injured one other person. After several people identified Roof as the main suspect, he became the center of a manhunt that ended the morning after the shooting with his arrest. He later confessed that he committed the shooting in hopes of igniting a race war.
