Happy North America Day? Contributed by NAUWATCH on Friday, June 26 at 08:15 (241 reads)
As Canada Day fast approaches I feel a sense of pride and sadness. I am a proud Canadian who loves her homeland and all that it has represented over the years, but those days are disappearing with nary a look back by most. As I think more and more about what Canada is, I come face to face with what it’s not. Canada is no longer a nation making its way in the world for its citizens or posterity. We are no longer the nation of peacekeepers. We are no longer in control of our destiny.
Hey Canada, it’s July 1st once again. You’re supposed to be happy.
On the hill in Ottawa, the CBC will provide its annual embarrassment of “entertainment” for the television cameras … supposedly depicting what we Canadians are all about … complete with bullshitting politicians and the Prime Minister will get off his fat ass to take advantage of the photo opportunities that abound.
The reality is best summed up in the words of that old, popular song, “Sixteen Tons” … with apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford: “It’s July 1 and whaddaya get …. Another year older … and DEEPER in DEBT as Herr Harper’s “government” panders to the elitists and continues to put every Canadian, including generations to come, deeper in debt by gifting this corporation and that with your tax dollars. And YOU don’t even get kissed.
But, hey, you should be happy … you’re supposed to be happy … THEY have commanded you to be happy, dammit.
