EXPOSING POLITICAL HYPOCRISY IS JUST SO MUCH FUN

1) The Proud Boys are now calling Donald Trump weak and ineffectual. .................................................................................................. 2) The Conservative Party of Canada just booted Derek Sloan out of their caucus. ...................................................................................................... 3) Sandy Shantz a) insisting on erecting warning signs along the Canagigue Creek b) getting on her environmental high-horse and insisting that Woolwich Township needed to examine the former Varnicolor's (now Elmira Pump) Risk Assessment very carefully because she's worried about deep contamination having to go "somewhere". ...................................................................................................... 4) The Ontario Ministry of Labour are being called upon to do more inspections and monitoring of workplace working conditions. i.e. COVID-19 working conditions. ................................................................................................. O.K. I admit it. It took me a very long time to recognize the depth, the expanse, the extent and the pervasiveness of both corporate and political corruption in Canada. I am sure that there are Canadians who by the time they were 23 or 24 years old had taken the measure of municipal, provincial and federal governments and knew that they smelled to high heaven. Just way too many scandals, too many "cracks" in the system, too many instances of double standard treatment of politicians, police officers, wealthy and prominent persons caught excessively benefiting from a system already set up to ensure their continued status and lifestyle, far above the rest of us. What I had seen and experienced and then interpreted as aberrations or rogue elements within organizations were no such things. They were the norm. .................................................................................................. And here is my next admission. Geez do I love to expose those lying bastards. Whether it is bought and paid for... oops-client driven consultants, corporate polluters long on rhetoric and short on cleanup, municipal councillors who routinely break laws that have little or no enforcement, provincial ministries whose real hidden mandate is simply preserving the status quo (eg. Min. of Labour, Environment, Transportation), certain school boards, police behaviour both public and private and finally our "Just us" system (i.e. Justice system). ................................................................................................... Going back to the four numbers above: 1) Donald Trump "forgot" to pardon Proud Boy members involved in the Capitol Hill insurrection. 2) A wonderful cartoon in today's Waterloo Region Record showing all the sexist, racist, homophobic members of the Conservative Party. 3) Sandy is the most blatant pro polluter mayor in Woolwich history and her minimal "greenwashing" efforts are fooling no one. 4) The Ministry of Labour have been nothing but a shield protecting recalcitrant and third world employers from the law for many decades but now they are getting their wrists slapped for failing to enforce Covid rules. Oh my a virus filling up hospitals requires enforcement of rules whereas employees being crippled or killed on the job do not.
