In other words, all the American reports of Iran attacks on Saudi Arabia were lies. Of course. Such an attack by Iran would make no sense at all. The American and Saudi governments were lying from the start. And war reporters should have known that. (They probably did know it.)

Within eighty years - and probably much much less - all humanity goes off a cliff. But the Liberals and Conservatives couldn't care less. And the Canadian voters are worse.And the posturing of our news media, including CBC, is worse.
And we choose this time to parade our false virtue.
Canada is and always has been racist. And that's true of just about every country in the world. Quebec has a law forbidding the wearing of religious symbols at work. In hundreds of years of history, and in a province that has been loaded down with religious symbols - including a massive, steel cross on Montreal's mountain - do you think it is a coincidence that Quebec suddenly has a Muslim population that wears religious symbols?
We are racists. We always have been. I'm not advocating racism. I'm just saying we are racists.
Canada's first cabinet minister from a visible minority member was in1978 - pretty close to when Trudeau was born.
First black hockey player? That was Wellie 0'ree. In 1957.
First black Canadian MP - Lincoln Alexander, 1968.
About 1960, the Montreal police chief, on holiday in The Gaspe, decided to visit the family of a recent recruit. It turned out the father of the new police officer was black. And the chief fired the son the first day he want back to work.
In 1965, I was a student at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, a school of righteous Baptists. It had just accepted it's first black student.
Quebec didn't accept black school teachers until the 1960s.
One of NDP leader Singh's problems is that he has a dark complexion and wears a turban.
In New France, slaves were sometimes torn apart by horses.
Check the building of the CPR. The dangerous jobs - like using dynamite were given to Chinese. And the death rate was high.
In Montreal and, presumably, most Canadian cities a common addition to house rental signs was "Select clientele only." That means no blacks, no orientals, no Jews. In a couple of summers, I learn ed what bigotry meant when I worked for a Jewish camp - and wore the camp T shirt every day. The worst was the day I visited a summer vacation spot of Montreal's English wealthy Christians. That evening there was a meeting of the lake association to find out who had invited the Jew.
A friend of mine who was black wanted to study law but had no money. But he was an outstanding hockey player. So he applied to McGill for a hockey scholarship. But McGill wasn't accepting blacks or, at least very, very few. (So he went to Harvard, played hockey, and became a distinguished lawyer.)
________________________________________________________
So let's get serious on several points. Canadians are and always have been racists. Going blackface is a pretty mild example of that.
This election is about the survival of Canada and the world. And we don't know when the curtain is going to fall. This is far the most dangerous election ever. The real issue is not what silliness Trudeau did in his younger years. Unless we all insist of dealing with the real issue, we all go over a cliff
Meanwhile, if we really want to deal with racism, let's get serious about it. All of us.
So, please, can we and our news media get serious?
_____________________________________________________________
Oh, if you're a Canadian, you might check out Post Media which owns dailies all over Canada and which specializes in its own lies. It is really a tool of the very, very rich to spread their propaganda. And the very, very rich want to destroy the Liberals and let oil profits flourish. And the Conservatives will do that. So it had an editorial on Friday saying Trudeau must resign. This sort of bias and propaganda is what this papers live on.
Mind you, I do not say this to urge anybody to vote Liberal. (I have never in my life voted Liberal or Conservative. And right now, I;m not crazy about anybody.) I'd just like to see an election that deals with real issues.

We may have only nine years to avoid climate catastrophe. Electing Conservatives or Liberals will use up at least four of those years with the remaining five almost certainly hopelessly short time to change direction.

But not to worry. Large areas of the U.S. will also be forced out of their region due to climate change. So then the U.S. will annex much of Canada.
No. That's not the slightest exaggeration.

The American objective in Iran is what it has been since 1948. To destroy and form of independent government. Indeed, it goes back to a similar effort by Britain in the 1920s.
The British forced Iran to sell all it's oil to Britain at low prices set by Britain. As well,, Iran had to supply all the oil for the whole British navy free of charge. Iran ended that after World War 2. So the British asked for American help to overthrow the government and install a dictator. The U.S. was happy since that gave the U.S.oil on the cheap.
But Iran kicked out the dictator and restored an elected government. The U.S. has never liked that. And it has been working for years to restore a dictator.

I don't think Trump wants a war. But his cabinet insists. (It has the oil barons leaning on it.).

Trudeau is, at best, a poor imitation of a prime minister. Alas, the only other party Canadians vote for in large numbers is the Conservative party, the most vicious and plundering party and the least intelligent party we have.
We are in for one hell of an experience - one that it may be difficult survive in..

climate change concerns Canadians? Then why the hell are they doing nothing? And why are they voting for Conservatives and Liberals - the people least likely to do anything.
______________________________________________________________
Enough. It's been a long and horribly depressing day of going through the news.
What I didn't mention - because we don't have enough news about it yet - is the possibility that Donald Trump is in serious mental decline. But what the hell.... So is the leadership of the U.S. armed forces, most of both houses of Congress, and capitalism.
