Christina Blizzard, Like Ezra Levant in a Wig. Wait, What?
Sun Media is determined that the $.06 per issue cost of the digital London Free Press is money wasted. They do this today by offering up Christina Blizzard for yet another fact-free rant about the evil Liberals in charge at Queen's Park.
Let the angry effluence begin:
"Anyone who's had the misfortune to have a loved one spend time in hospital recently knows only too well that our health-care system is on the ropes.
Right out of the gate we have an anecdote and something so untrue that one might almost call it a lie.
To the anecdote: I have had relatives who have been in hospital recently, with varying degrees of troubles. All of them, every single one, has had excellent care and were dealt with in a speedy fashion. Everyone of them commented on how hard the staff worked and how fast they were treated. So Christina, my anecdote cancels your anecdote.
On to the fulmination/obfuscation/over exaggeration about parking and semi-privates. Do any of you remember free parking at a major hospital? No the doctor's office, or the clinic in Chatham, I mean St. Joesph's here in London, or Foothills in Calgary; there hasn't been free parking since before the early 80's, if at all. As for semi-private rooms, they have been an extra charge for at least 15 years here in Ontario. They may be covered by a health plan, but that still amounts to an extra charge that has been in place longer than the current Liberal government.
Fibs and anecdotes, standard Sun Media fodder. All that's missing is the scare. Oohh, there it is:
"We must find other sources of revenue for health care, other running up more big deficits or hitting up the overstressed taxpayer. We must decide which services are truly important and which ones we are prepared to give up. Tough choices, sure.
Got that? Time to make tough choices, time to man up you wussy huggers. Don't be Greek.
Let the angry effluence begin:
"Anyone who's had the misfortune to have a loved one spend time in hospital recently knows only too well that our health-care system is on the ropes.
Hospitals can't ask patients to pay for vital health services, so they ding them for everything else--from parking to extra services like semi-private wards."

If you want the alternative, though, look no farther than Greece."

The Harper Government, Just Doin' What Feels Good, Man
Compare and contrast Monday.
Justice Minister Bill Nicholson, facing criticism that the new omnibus crime bill addresses problems that don't exist, and doesn't reflect the reality of crime in Canada, said"
At today's press conference announcing the new regulations/rules/stuff they're gonna do regarding new immigrants, face veils and evil Moooslems, Minister of Who Gives An Itchy Ball, Jason Kenny, was paraphrased as saying that the legislation was about
To reinforce how much this is about his gut and not his brain, Kenny admits that this is not something that he has witnessed, but a guy told him it was a big deal and you totally have to believe him and that based on this guy who knows stuff, Jason is all about the principle of the damn thing because this is Canada dammit and we don't say things we don't mean and contradictions in religious doctrines mean that the religion in question, if it's Islam, gets no favours, and there will be more principles tomorrow, but they might be different.
At which point the feed from the CBC stopped so abruptly I can only assume Ezra Levant "tripped" over the tv cable so he could blame them for censoring a Sun News contributor (colloquially known as a Minister of the House).
The take away from all of this (if you're me, which would be weird for you), is that we have stereotypical hippies in charge. Not real hippies who solve real problems and have real solutions based on real facts, but the stereotype come to life. The "whatever feels good, man" stereotype that only exists in John Baird's fevered dreams (all no-shirt and leather vested, with low-slug pants and just the right amount of Led Zepplin-era Robert Plant hair to grab onto when you...nevermind) and old sitcoms. Our government doesn't have time for facts, man. Just doin' stuff 'cause it feels good, and they think it'll make you feel good too!
Fucking fake hippies. Fake hippies who didn't bring any pot to the party, but they did bring that fucking drum, so they're a complete bummer.

"We're not governing on the basis of the latest statistics," Nicholson said at a news conference, held earlier in the day near Toronto.
"We're governing on the basis of what's right to better protect victims and law-abiding Canadians."

"...four veiled women [who] allegedly got into a car with New York licence plates after the ceremony." and that "Kenney does not have an exact number of applicants that are veiled, but thinks it is frequent enough to require action."
