Which is worse?

Is it worse to die of malaria or starvation?  The vaccine just announced with great fanfare is expected to save 500,000 people a year, 200,000 of them children.  Save them from what?  So they can then die of starvation?  

I never give a cent to Africa because the money never gets to those who need it.  Instead, it ends up in the Swiss bank accounts of the dictators who rule that failed continent.  

Speaking of failed continents and countries, Lebanon was featured in 'The Globe and Mail' today.  What a disaster!  Its currency has lost 90% of its value and the entire country is a mess.  As you know, I am always banging on about the separation of church and state and that's the problem with Lebanon.  It's government and representatives are divided along religious lines, with one third being Christians and the other two either Sunni or Shiite Muslims.  That'll never work, never.    

"The only solution is an agreement with the International Monetary Fund," says Prof. Leila Dagher, an associate professor of economics at the American University of Beirut.  Obviously, she missed a few classes because throwing money at a corrupt country that has been in civil war and dysfunctional for 30 years is not an economic answer when you have a government as corrupt as is Lebanon's.  Just look at how throwing money at the Indigenous here in Canada has worked.  That's a rhetorical question.

A word about the municipal election in Calgary, where the odious Nenshi is thankfully not running again.  But things are nonetheless developing along racial lines because a recent poll showed that those who thought Nenshi was doing a good job are supporting candidate Jothyi Gondek, a similar non-white candidate, and those who thought Nenshi did a terrible job are supporting Jeromy Farkas, a white candidate.  So, there you have it again.  It's all about the colour of one's skin.  People who still think Calgary is a cow town full of white cowboys have it wrong.  Calgary is a multi-ethnic city, the majority of whom vote for other ethnics regardless of platform or issue.

And let's give a little space to the nerve of Trudeau, the grim groper, and Freeland saying that the military "just doesn't get it" when it comes to sexual harassment.  Remember when Trudeau was accused of groping a female reporter?  He claimed she had "experienced it differently".  Please.  This was the same guy who crossed the aisle of the House to shove a female MP and manhandle her out of the chamber.  The audaciousness and hypocrisy of the man is breathtaking! 

But what really floored me this morning was a CBC interview with a female, native film maker who claimed that Canada was founded on the genocide of natives.  How outrageous.  People actually believe that missionaries and others went up north with the sole objective to kill native children and throw them into anonymous pits.  This is a lie and anyone who does five minutes research will know this.  I will be posting another blog on this tomorrow.
