Moronto has become a monolithic, suffocating liberal swamp

Toronto is now well established as the bastion of left-wing politics in Canada. Provincially, the six million people in the GTA elected only one Conservative in the last election, while federally, Conservatives were swept clean, their support in some downtown ridings in single digits. Toronto’s supply of left-wing ideas is so voluminous it exports lunacy such as the Leap manifesto, making Toronto an arms depot in the war against fossil fuels. Faith in the goodness and expertise of the public sector is being shipped wholesale from Queen’s Park to Parliament Hill as Kathleen Wynne’s ideological stormtroopers move to the frontlines of policy-making in Justin Trudeau’s new government.


A basic tenet of Toronto liberalism is that all problems can be addressed by the public sector with the proper mix of data, analysis and bureaucratic oversight. Problems are not given market solutions nor time to resolve themselves; they always require government intervention. Business is regarded as cynically greedy, while the saintly public service is above self-interest, despite conspicuously soaring salaries and benefits. Liberalism is relentlessly prescriptive in telling people how to think and behave, all in the name of freedom and justice. Individual actions are divorced from consequences; moral hazard does not exist for liberals.

I guess that it's okay to go door-to-door to round up the lefties, there. Where should they be interned? Perhaps, they should all be gassed. What do you say? Pack them all into rail box cars, transport them to secret creamatorium out west?

That's a thought, but we have lots of mines and forestry companies up north that need labourers. We could dust off some trains to get them there.

Trump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless except his heart
Mud flowed up into Trump's pajamas
He totally confused all the passing piranhas

He's Trump he's Trump he's in your head
He's Trump he's Trump he might be dead

Trump lingered last in line for brains and the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band?

He's Trump, he's Trump
He's in my head
He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump
He might be dead

Trump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Trump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
He spent his twenties between the sheets
Life limped along at sub-sonic speeds

He's Trump, he's Trump
He's in my head
He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump
He might be dead

Is this Trump outta my head?
I think so

Hmmm. Haven't I heard something like that, before?

Liberals will continue to dominate while the alternative is Loc's brand of nuttery. Until conservative parties rid themselves of the social conservatives, not enough people will see them as a viable alternative. Loc is a greater threat to conservatism than 10 flossys and 10 Cliffys

Just recycling what many governments have done over the years. But it's not just humangs. other species capture and use slaves. This is from the BBC, so it's probably a lie or just confusion, but I quote,

A few species of ant are pirates that enslave other ants. Not far from you, ants are fighting for their freedom. They have been victimised by "slave-maker" ants, which subjugate other ant species to do their work for them.

BBC - Earth - A few species of ant are pirates that enslave other ants

So it's perfectly normal for the planet to engage slaves to labour for others.

Up nexT: W
e'll be talking to a man who sews legs on fish, and a farmer from Saskatchewan who claims that Hillary Clinton is actually a space alien, here to spy on US citizens from the planet Mars. He has proof, so he says. Finally, does Cliffy have a brain? We'll talk to an SFU professor that claims to have it in formaldehyde. It is the size of a Cherry Blossom.
