They have to be dealt with to ensure that no other religion, much less them, can impact our elections as they did in the USA and as they are trying to do in Canada as well as the world over. Their money interest must be investigated as well as their leaders because these people and this organization truly are traitors to our countries, both Canada and the USA. <br />Meegwetch101https://www.blogger.com/profile/15819872299130718183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-30032059309101304322018-03-06T08:55:13.947-05:002018-03-06T08:55:13.947-05:00Actually, the explosion of legume farming on the C...Actually, the explosion of legume farming on the Canadian Prairies is very good news indeed; diversifying agriculture and the economy, producing vegetable protein that the world needs. The chickpea flour I buy now is Canadian, not imported from Italy (though perhaps grown here, or in a third country) or from India. <br /><br />There are projects underway to produce quinoa as well. Quinoa is also extremely nutritious, but the craze for it has put it out of range for many Andean Indigenous peasants, who turn to foodstuffs with less nutrition. It will grow in cold, semi-arid places.lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4692337786024066922018-03-04T10:03:53.333-05:002018-03-04T10:03:53.333-05:00Who is the enemy at the top?Who is the enemy at the top?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-68557469958923085192018-03-04T09:54:32.382-05:002018-03-04T09:54:32.382-05:00hi Yvonne...ike you I strongly suspect that the di...hi Yvonne...ike you I strongly suspect that the dilapidated state of the MSM explains there sudden shift to the right.

He is as I have always maintained more American than Canadian, his values are Republican, and his religious fanaticism blinds him to the difference.

In my riding, the MP, students and volunteers have knocked on doors every summer and every action day, plus the MP holds at least three town halls a year and runs an excellent constituency office. The party has set standards so that MPs who work as hard as mine will automatically be the candidate in 2019.

See also Trump, Ryan, McConnell, Pence the rabid closet case who clearly has an eliminationist agenda against LGBT as an elaborate form of suicide-by-proxy. They don't care about Christians, except as useful idiots to enable their climb into power. Then, like the craven megalomaniacs they are, they discard the idiots until the next election, having served their purpose and outlived their usefulness. The only reason the cons can count on their vote time and time again is because they've conned enough rubes into believing that the other guy is worse, because he's not going to let you beat your wife or burn gay people at the stake as the one true religion of hate (a warped version of "Christianism") demands. They can't call Obama a spade like they used to in the "good old days," so therefore their "way of life" is under attack. Reminds me of an old <i>Monty Python</i> skit. "Help, help, I'm being repressed!"<br /><br />Now Scheer recently made an unprecedented show of unhinged stupidity in declaring that he wants to follow in Trump's footsteps, by diving into the Middle East hornet's nest and having Canada declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. More meat for the base, who don't seem to get either that Bibi is a rabid ethno-nationalist himself and corrupt crook who is also persecuting Christians and is likely to start an old-fashioned war with Iran to cover his sorry tuchus. That's fine with the religious loons, who have their hearts set on getting "raptured" as long as the mutual enemy Muslims get cleared out like yesterday's rubbish. And they can claim plausible deniability against accusations of bigotry, by hiding behind the "criticism of Israel is Nazism" card and pointing the finger at Obama, Hillary, Trudeau, even Sanders (!) as covert anti-Semites in league with scary Muslim terrorists. Clearly, we're not dealing with rational people here. We're dealing with a cult holding everyone else hostage in an undeclared national apartheid scenario. See also the third -- er, turd of the country who democratically elected Hitler in 1933. Don't think it can't happen here.<br /><br />'Course, the fact that the sheep end up getting Scheered one way or another is immaterial, as long as the status quo remains entrenched and the idiots get to have their bread-and-circus fun by kicking the lesser undesirables so that nobody goes after the real enemy at the top. Ironically, it makes Scheer come across as quite the fan of an immutable caste system. He and Modi are like two chickpeas in a pod. Wonder if he's ever invited Aung San Suu Kyi on a romantic dinner date.

Trump just levied another stupid tariff, this time on Canadian steel, as an erratic reaction to his empire falling apart. He needs a dog to kick, so he picks on Ivanka's pretend boyfriend now that she's under investigation too -- <i>and for the hotel she made her pet project in Vancouver.</i> I guess Princess Brattykins won't have a tower to run away to when SHTF, where she figures she can make Prince Justin tie her up in the dungeon. But leave it to the hack press to focus on Indian chickpeas, instead of the latest action from the destroyer of worlds who likes to watch Russian chicks go pee.<br /><br />Are there really enough Canadians who are so dumb and self-centered that they'd choose a Republican wannabe who would roll over and play dead for the GOP like he was Trump's "Newfoundland friend"? Instead of Trudeau, who's got a backbone like Canadian steel, they want the racist white snowflake who melts when the heat is put on him because he has <i>sno balls</i>? Shame on them!
