It sure is starting to look like Canada has been handed over to the native Indians of Canada. Pretty much nothing can be done anymore in Canada without the consent and the blessing of the feather and us all having to listen to them banging on their tom-tom drums.
I remember many decades ago when the air controllers went illegally on strike. I believe that the strike went on for a short while. They were ordered to go back to work. They refused. Ronald Reagan at the time told them once more to go back to work or else. They defied Reagan and Reagan signed an executive order and promptly said that they would all be fired if all of the approx. 11,000 of them did not go back to work in 48 hours. I believe that most went back to work. Now that is a leader. Airlines are like trains. The country relies on both of them to be able for people to be able to do business and for people to survive. The Indians are probably doing us a favor when they shut down the government. For awhile it stops the politicians from doing more damage to the country. Chuckle-chuckle.
Trudeau should be doing the same thing now and demand that those terrorists get off the train tracks now or else. He should tell them that I will charge you all with terrorism and throw all of you in jail if you do not comply. Marc Garneau is the federal transport minister and he said that he is leaving it up to the provinces. Typical of most gutless politicians who are scared to do the right thins. Pass the buck on to the other guy is the best way to do it.
We the people are being controlled by a bunch of politically correct scared cats rather than with a real and true no nonsense Reagan type of leader. I guess that most of them are scared that they might get called a racist for forcing the Native Indians off the tracks? Hey, you never know, eh?
On my way over to the store yesterday, I stopped to pick up a couple of guys from the reserve. On the way I asked them what they thought about the blockades. I was a bit chilled to hear that they had been told not to talk about it. I didn't ask by who. I just dropped the subject. Meanwhile, I am hearing a lot of angry talk from folks around here who are normally pretty equitable about FN issues. Many of them have relatives and friends in areas being disrupted and are getting daily updates on how the blockades are adversely affecting their lives. They are none too happy about what they are hearing.
