August 22: The Canadian Disaster

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/shock-denmark-greenland-cancels-visit-1.5254311

This is serious. The U.S. has a president whose  ego is wildly out of control. And it can only get worse. This is a man of huge arrogance and self-worship. We've seen it run wild many times. Let's get real. This man is mentally ill. He is very, very dangerous.

Having been humiliated by the rejection of his bid to buy Greenland, he is likely to take his anger out in very dangerous areas. One is Iran. He could plunge into a war there - a war that would  pull much of the world into it. Or he could do the same in Venezuela. This also happens at a time when Trump has re-awakened the threat of nuclear war with China and Russia - a war that could set off other nuclear wars and other insanities.

This is a seriously disturbed and very dangerous man.

Well, yes, of course. Funny our news media never noticed that.

There is every possibility this could provoke a war  the U.S., Britain and Australia and perhaps Canada - and that such a war could draw intervention from Russia and China. In fact, it could go a good deal further than that since it involves many nuclear powers.

Is the U.S. morally in the right? No. The U.S. has no right to tell Iranian ships where they are allowed to go.

(see entry above.)Maybe even Canadian ships will be sent in to help American capitalists steal Iranian oil. We've sacrificed Canadian lives before to fight for American billionaires. (Think Korea, Afghanistan, Libya.)

Bolsonaro is much admired in the Trump White House.

Canada is  holding talks with Cuba to get it to  help the U.S. with Venezuela?
How much rolling in slime does Canada had to do for the U.S. The U.S. after all, is the one that established a murderous dictatorship  in Cuba, tortured and killed thousands of Cubans, then tried to invade Cuba. It has since done it best to impoverish Cuba.

And we are sending a delegate to Cuba  to get it to kiss the U.S. rear end?

I don't think so. Cuba has a lot more integrity than our wimpy government has.
This is disgusting - but typical of Canadian governments.

Today's blog is the most depressing, infuriating one I have ever written. The powers of greed rule us. Our governments - including the 'democratic' ones are controlled by unspeakably greedy people. Indeed, democracy is a term that no longer has any meaning. In the U.S., virtually all decisions are controlled by the greedy and vicious. And don't kid yourself about Canada, the Liberals and Conservatives serve the very, very rich - nobody else.  And the very rich drive us down by hiding all the money they should be paying for taxes.

Canada and the U.S. are both governed by the very rich who wallow in the national wealth while millions get poorer - and situation which has become markedly worse.

Canada is now holding an election to choose between an unspeakably corrupt and wealth-worshipping Conservative party - and an almost identical Liberal party. And, damn, the Canadian people will not wake up. They plod to the polls to vote for the people who have been stealing their money from the start. 

The Canadian people have learned nothing in a century and a half of government by those parties. And that means more  corruption, more neglect of the Canadian people, more joining to support the U.S. in its plundering as we once killed and died to support British plundering. (Check the Boer War.)

I really cannot understand how so many Canadians can be such wimps as to vote for the parties that abuse them. Conservative? Liberal? They're the same party.     A prime example of our Baa-Baa mentality is New Brunswick where the Irvings, a family without morality or social awareness is killing them - but still gets the votes.   

How could the people of Ontario vote for a Doug Ford who's nothing more than a bum boy for some of this world's most vicious capitalists?   And Alberta with its premier who shows nothing but subservience to the very, very rich.

Canadians have always been political wimps. And we are now about to pay one hell of a price for that.
