Annus mirabilis. I have found the page I lost many times. Here's hoping.

Wow! That's Canada's big election issue?
Right. Who gives a damn about climate change? Right? Who cares about Canada committing itself to help out American billionaire wars? Who cares that it will take uncountable billions of dollars to clean up the Alberta oil sands? (And will oil barons pay for that? Get real.)
But don't worry about it. Some estimates are it will take at least 2,000 years to clean it. And by then, long before then, oil will have destroyed us anyway.
________________________________________________________________
Canadians, politically, are drab and boring. The U.S. for all the horror of the Republicans and many, many of the Democrats at least have a Bernie Sanders who looks at reality and what is needed to deal with it.
(Canadians have the NDP and the Greens. But neither has been able to spark a response such as Sanders has.) From coast to coast, Canadians support the Liberals and the Conservatives - neither of which has a coherent policy on anything - and both of which are the puppets of billionaires.
Climate change is real. Climate change is going to kill all of us. Human life on this planet will end. In the process of that , there will be some years of unspeakable horror as refugees pour out of stricken regions - and we drown them or shoot them.
This is what virtually all of our leading scientists in the whole world are telling us. And this is what we see and experience in record temperatures and failing harvests around the world every year.
And who do Canadians listen to? Well, there's the Conservative party which is owned by billionaires. And the Liberal party which is owned by billionaires.
And what qualification do billionaires have to make these decisions?
None. None whatever. They don't even pretend to have any. And most of our newspapers, which are owned by billionaires, scarcely mention it. Canada is papered over with billionaires who own oil fields - and owners of Last Post press and the scandalously trivial and lying Irving Press of New Brunswick.
These people don't even pretend to offer opinions of what is happening to our world. How could they? They have no training whatever to do so. And in any case, all that counts with them is profit - now.
The Conservative party is probably the most ignorant and lying party in Canada.
It quite openly exists to serve the very, very rich. I well remember the statement by the current premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney. He said that handing out money to billionaires was good because they would create jobs in Alberta.
What a bozo he must be!
If we give money to billionaires, they will spend it where it's best for them. They might spend it in one of the virtual slave colonies of Latin America, or one of those we have created in Africa. Or they might spend it in bribing Canadian politicians to give them even more.
(What they are not going to spend it on is cleaning up the oil mess they have created in Alberta. And some day that will have to be cleaned so that the region is livable again. But that will cost unknown billions of dollars. And get this, it could take 2,000 years.)
Jason Kenney might be many things. But intelligent is not one of them.
Then you have the intellectually disadvantaged Conservative premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, whose career has been devoted to cutting services to the general population so he can give handouts to billionaires.
The Canadian people have been electing these clowns from the start.

The Liberals are essentially the same party as the Conservatives. But some will say that at least they have begun to deal with climate change. Duh, well....
We have been warned about climate change for over thirty years. And we haven't paid the slightest attention. Trudeau's proposals come very, very late - and they may not come at all. In fact, Trudeau has led the way with an oil pipeline so we can go on pumping and poisoning our country for many years - and at the expense of the tax payers.
Let's wake up. Scientists (who have actually studied the subject) have estimated our children will suffer the consequences. Indeed, millions are suffering the consequences even now as croplands and food supplies are destroyed.
And what is the big issue the Liberals and Conservatives are concerned with? Well, it seems that Trudeau acted improperly in giving large sums of money to SNY Lavalin. The Conservatives are shocked.
Right.
The Liberals and the Conservatives were both founded as a means of handing out money, often improperly, to the wealthy.Neither party has ever been honest. Conservative John A. Macdonald was a master of corruption and bribery. Ditto for the early Liberals - and the present ones.
And these are the only two parties that Canadians have voted to real power.
The Liberals and the Conservatives are hopelessly corrupt, always have been.
This has really run out of any control in the last 30 or 40 years. It's one thing to be corrupt. But in recent years, both Canada and the U.S. have seen an accelerated drift of the money of all us into the pockets of the very rich. The Liberals do it. The Conservatives, like Doug Ford and Jason Kenney, openly steer huge gifts to to the wealthy. Ford, for example, cuts universal services like education in order to hand out more money to the rich. The rich have also been freed of paying income taxes and, increasingly, they are getting off property taxes. They also get free handouts from the Liberals and Conservatives.
Most Canadians and Americans have been getting poorer for some years now as the rich get richer on political handouts. And there is no end to this drift into poverty.
The rich, especially in the U.S., also benefit from massive arms sales and from government connections, to get wars fought for them.
Remember - they don't pay taxes - so they don't pay for those wars. Result - though nobody has attacked the U.S. in the last 70 years and more, it has attacked many nations (some say 40; but the number of unrecorded attacks is much higher).
How many have American billionaires - sometimes with Canadian help - killed since 1945. Nobody knows. The official figure is something over ten million. But that doesn't count the millions we've starved to death, especially the children.
And when the U.S. needs support, it calls on countries like Canada to help out with wars like Korea, Afghanistan, the overthrow of the government of Haiti, training in Syria - and more, much, much more to come.
We sent Canadians to die in wars that had nothing to do with us. And when their bodies came home, we paraded then on 'highways of heroes'. And so they were - but we were damn fools to have sent them in the first place - and there's more coming.
Those wars (and other involvements such as Venezuela and our troops on the Russia border) had nothing to do with Canada. But they can still cost Canadian lives - but that's okay. It's good for our relations with American billionaires.

I seem to have rediscovered my messily written blog. I hope it will still be there at the end of this post.
We have created a power and money-mad class of billionaires. We admired them and we vote for them - and they have nothing but contempt for us. And their Greed?
They happily murder for control of news media, of oil fields, for the killing of any people who get in their way. They are also not very bright. They show no sense of the end that they are leading us and themselves to.
The U.S. at least has a Bernie Sanders. We have nobody comparable. And, oh, we are a gullible lot for those people who rob us blind.
Despite what ignorant politicians and billionaires and journalists say, the end of this planet if in sight. Almost all of our leading scientists are agreed on that.
But we? We listen to the likes of Liberals and Conservatives who have been cheating us and serving others throughout history.
And the clock is running down quickly.
