This is exactly how I was reared

 

EATING IN THE UK IN THE FIFTIES

  Pasta had not yet come to Britain.
  Curry was an unknown entity.
   Olive oil was kept in the medicine cabinet.
    Spices came from the Middle East where we believed that they were used
for embalming
    Herbs were used to make rather dodgy medicine.
    A takeaway was a mathematical problem.
    A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.
    Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time.
    The only vegetables known to us were spuds, peas, runner beans,
carrots, swede, parsnips, sprouts and cabbage; anything else was regarded as being a bit suspicious.
   All crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the
salt on or not.
    Condiments consisted of salt, pepper, vinegar - and tomato or HP brown
sauce if we were lucky.
    Soft drinks were called pop.
    Coke was something that we mixed with coal to make it last longer.
    A Chinese chippy was a foreign carpenter.
    Rice was a milk pudding, and never, ever part of our dinner.
    A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining.
    A microwave was something out of a science fiction movie.
    Brown bread was something only poor people ate.
    Oil was for lubricating your bike not for cooking, fat was for cooking
   Bread, butter and jam was a treat; it was either bread and butter, or
bread and jam.
    Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves, not bags.
    The tea cosy was the forerunner of all the energy saving devices that
we hear so much about today.
    Tea had only one colour, black. Green tea was not British.
    Coffee was only drunk when we had no tea….. and then it was Camp, and
came in a bottle.
Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.
   Figs and dates appeared every Christmas.
   Coconuts only appeared when the fair came to town.
    Salad cream was a dressing for salads, mayonnaise did not exist.
    Hors d'oeuvre was a spelling mistake.
      The menu consisted of what we were given, and was set in stone.
    Only Heinz made beans, there were no others.
    Leftovers went in the dog, never in the bin.
    Special food for dogs and cats was rare.
    Sauce was either brown or red.
.  Mustard was only yellow and English.
    Fish was only eaten on Fridays.
    Fish and chips was always wrapped in old newspapers, and definitely
tasted better that way. We were not allowed to eat them in the street.
    Frozen food was called ice cream.
    Nothing ever went off in the fridge because we never had one.
    None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.
   Jelly and blancmange were usually party food.
    Healthy food had to have the ability to stick to your ribs.
    Indian restaurants were only found in India .
    Cheese was usually Cheddar.
    A bun was a small cake that your Mum made in the oven.
    Eating out was called a picnic.
   Cooking outside was called camping.
    Eggs only came fried or boiled.
   Hot cross buns were only eaten at Easter time.
    Pancakes were only eaten on Shrove Tuesday – and on that day it was
compulsory.
    Cornflakes had just arrived from America.
    We bought milk and cream at the same time in the same bottle.
    Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being
white gold.
    Prunes were purely medicinal.
    Surprisingly muesli was readily available in those days, it was called
cattle feed.
    Turkeys were definitely seasonal.
    Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of
a real one.
    We didn't eat Croissants in those days because we couldn't pronounce
them, we couldn't spell them and we didn't know what they were.
    Garlic was used to ward off vampires, but never used to flavour bread.
    Water came out of the tap, if someone had suggested bottling it and
charging treble for it they would have become a laughing stock.
    Food hygiene was only about washing your hands before meals.
    Campylobacter, Salmonella, E.coli, Listeria, and Botulism were all
called "food poisoning."

However, the one thing that we never ever had on our table in the fifties ….
ELBOWS!!!

Why isn't she there?

Why isn't Mary Simon in B.C?  During the WW II blitz in London, the King and Queen visited the desolation in the East End almost daily, walking through the ruins and rubble with the people who lived there.  They showed compassion, bravery and real leadership.  That's what Canada's representative of Her Majesty should be doing -- not sitting on her throne in Rideau Hall.  She should don a pair of mukluks and get her fat a-- out to places like drowning Abbotsford.  

Trudeau actually showed up there a couple of days ago, but as usual didn't seem to know where he was or what he was doing there.  He had his hands coolly stuck in his jeans and just waved and smiled at the poor serfs, peasants and victims as he strode around grinning.  Grinning!  His face should have at least have borne traces of fake concern, but he is completely inept and incapable of compassion of any kind.  Narcissism rules!

In his latest slight-of-hand move, he just announced he's going to spend millions and form a committee to look into flood mitigation.  Whaaaaat??!!  Experts have been predicting these floods for decades, predictions politicians of all stripes at all levels have completely ignored.  I'm waiting for the next level of puck-passing:  a Royal Commission on Floods.  Royal Commissions are what politicians create when they want to deflect the blame and chatter.  What happens to the reports?  They lie unopened, gathering dust in a filing cabinet -- just ask the Murray Sinclair's of this world, however in Murray's case, we could have scrapped the whole expensive exercise and instead simply googled the RCMP stats on who's killing native women and girls:  Their own relatives.

What's happening in B.C. reminds me of the 1954 movie 'Elephant Walk' about a tea plantation in Ceylon, built right in the middle of a centuries-old elephant migration route.  The plantation owners spent most of their time beating back the elephants who wanted to travel along their walk, but in the end, the elephants won.  In the last scene, the elephants finally triumph and crash and smash through the plantation in a successful reclamation of their territory.  Starring Elizabeth Taylor and Peter Finch, among others, it's a terrific movie.  Watch it if you can; you'll see what I mean.  

In B.C., residents have damned rivers and lakes in an attempt to dominate the land for centuries, but lakes want to be lakes and so they have taken back their territory in the form of the vast floods now in charge of their traditional lands.  That's my analysis of what's going on there.

Writing in 'The Calgary Herald' yesterday, Don Braid reported on the appallingly tragic state of child mortality among children in provincial care in Alberta.  Of 48 deaths in the period referenced, 41 were native children.  Forty-one out of 48 -- that's 85 percent!  What NEVER gets mentioned is why native children are taken into care in the first place.  Taking children into care is very expensive and not done lightly, so the parents by definition must be dangerously incompetent.  

The other lamentation was about the fact that young adults are now cut off provincial funding at age 22.  "That's too early," screamed the likes of Cindy Blackstock.  No, Cindy, it's way too late because by then these kids have developed drug and alcohol problems, thanks to the free money we have been giving them and the toxic environments in which they live.  In my view, this is more proof that the kinship program, whereby native youth are taken from their parents and given to the relatives who raised them, doesn't work.  I mean, why would you take a child from incapable parents raised by the grandparents who rendered them incapable and give them back to those same incapable grandparents?  Duh!  Thanks, Cindy.

This is the latest, we'll see how it works.

Speaking of incompetence, yesterday Theresa Tam actually said that cases of covid are transmitted among people shoved into quarantine hotels.  Unknowingly, she actually said that her policies of quarantining travelers in hotels have been a complete bust.  Amazingly, she didn't even realize she was admitting her failures!

Yet Tam remains in place.  Astounding.     

  

       

      

Lots today

Firstly, and I have said this many times, Chrystia Freeland's ONLY agenda is the Ukraine, so when I read that Canada, read "Freeland", is considering sending hundreds more troops to that country to ward off Russia, I had to laugh -- in a pissed off manner.  Well, of course we are!  Defense Minister Anand isn't running that file, Freeland is -- just as she runs Trudeau.  

Canada's "answer to the babushka" has been in a fight with Russia for decades, resulting in her being banned from that country permanently.  So, she is putting up her dukes to Putin via the Ukraine and, in a moment of complete hallucination, thinks she will get the guy to back off and pull his troops.  It is so laughable as to be beyond comment!

Moving closer to home, Her Worship Mayor Gondek is immediately revealing her true colours as a rabidly devoted Dr. of Urban Sociology by voting against increasing funding to the Calgary police force.  Well, of course she did!  She's a proponent of the ludicrous "de-fund the police" mob.  True to form, she also voted for maintaining funding for fixing hail-damaged houses from two years ago.  Why should taxpayers cover these people's cheap choice of housing?  A) because Gondek's the mayor, and B) because Gondek's the mayor -- that and the fact that insurance companies have dumped their financial accountability into her lap, where she happily accepted it on behalf of the rest of us who had nothing to do with it.    

And in another outbreak of lunacy, the head of some Arab/Muslim association or other wrote a column in 'The Globe and Mail' yesterday objecting to all the English street names in Toronto.  Last time I checked, Ontario and Toronto were settled by Brits, Scots and Irish, so hello, they gave the streets names from back home!  Evidently, either our ancestors should have given these streets Arabic names -- don't die laughing, please -- or the city burghers should now immediately change a bunch to Middle Eastern names to reflect all the immigrants living in Toronto.  I wonder how that would work if I went to Saudi Arabia and demanded a few streets be re-named "MacPherson" or "Somerset"?  

It's total madness and psychosis!

Sticking with the psychosis theme, apparently femicide is up in Canada, due to the pandemic.  Well, of course it is!  Force family members who often hate each other to stick together for two years and you're going to get more people killed, women being the easiest victims.  Did we really need someone to do a hugely expensive study to tell us that?!  Guess so!

After saying he regretted the actions by some in Catholic residential schools (most committed by older students, but let's not dare bring that up), the ever-put-upon Pontiff will now be invaded by a group of 30 chiefs and "survivors" in Rome demanding a formal apology.  If Francis is rationale, which at times he appears to be, he will point out that schooling decisions were made by governments of the day and delegated to the Catholic bishops who built and ran the institutions.  I mean, how could a guy in Rome be expected to decide everything in every country to which missionaries travelled?!  But that won't deter Fontaine and gang from trying it anyway -- Fontaine for the second time.  

And speaking of survivors, aren't we all?  If you went through a school, worked and made it to middle age, you're a survivor.  But "survivor" is a much more charged and sexy word than "graduate", so survivor it is.  My other question is, why are native leaders only travelling to spank the pope?  What about the head of the Anglican, Lutheran and other churches that also ran residential schools?  No lashings for them?

More scary news, Canada has the worst carbon emissions in the entire G20.  This is scary because Justin and his cracked sidekicks will use this to ramp up spending and debt even more to try to shine on the international stage.  No wonder Climate Barbie quit, it all went to hell on her watch!  

Now an American Indian group has written to an Australian rugby club to demand it change its name because it contains the word "chief".  OMG!  What has become of everyone??!!

I see that Wayne Eyre has finally been confirmed as chief of the defense.  The reason it has taken so long is because the vetters probably had to search out and interview everyone he had ever worked with to be sure no nasty, ghastly skeletons lurked in any hidden closets.  Happily, General Eyre has come out clean -- unless some female underling suddenly remembers his brushing past her in a crowded elevator.  

In another "I told you so" moment, I read that a professor of community health and epidemiology at Dalhousie University is calling for answers on why Canada was so ill-prepared when the pandemic hit.  Remember those days?  No PPE, faulty logistics, capacity shortages, problems with data quality, lapses in risk assessment and process, lack of integration of surveillance information and no viable or tested emergency plans.  That was how "prepared" Tam and Hadju left us.  

"Canada's risk is much, much lower than that of many countries," assured Tam when she addressed parliamentarians in January, 2020 -- in spite of the fact that she sat on the WHO committee who evaluated the mess and knew all about it!  Predictably, Tam's response was to "address identified shortcomings by incorporating learning from the pandemic into its (non)plans and test them as appropriate within two years at the end of the pandemic."

Who puts out that sh-t?  What does that even mean?  My editor, the late Mrs. Jean Portugal at Maclean Hunter, would have immediately dropped that back on my desk and instructed me to turn it into comprehensible English.  But not today.  Today, gobble-de-gook and bafflegab are press-released as covers for f-ck ups and incompetence.  And two years after the pandemic ends?!  How will we know it has ended?  Wow, that'll be a big help!  With all the variants now popping up, it doesn't show any signs of ending, only growing stronger.  By then-ever we could all be as dead as the Aztecs and Incas who probably suffered the same fate.  

So, folks, rest assured, we're in good, safe hands.  Not!       

      

  

  

    

B's meaning of the term

That might as well have been a speech from the other "throne", he said as we watched Mary Simon butcher both official languages while droning out Trudeau's meaningless re-hash of all the other hollow speeches from the other thrones he's trotted out as "policy".  

What struck and shocked me was that once again, Simon seems to be unaware that Canada has two official languages, French and English; Inuktitut is not one of them.  As for her French, in spite of necessarily having been coached about how to read and pronounce the French parts of the speech, she was totally unable to make herself understood -- certainly neither to this fluent speaker, nor also obviously to the poor guy whose job it was to simultaneously translate it.  

Her use of Inuktitut was inexcusable.  I don't care that that is her mother tongue, it is not one of this country's official languages and I doubt many people in Nunavut were tuned it to watch.  So why did she use it?  Obviously, some sort of Trudeau-esque stunt to show people she was bilingual, just not in our other official language.  Was it only I who noticed that the speaker's chair in which she sat had "E11R" emblazoned on the top of it?  Yep, Mary, you represent Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth -- Canada's Head of State.  This was why I was shocked -- but not surprised -- that all the portraits of Elizabeth II had been removed from Rideau Hall (See,"Who picked the Art", Oct. 26, 2021) 

 Puts me in mind of the lashing given Air Canada's president by always-offended Quebeckers.  Even Freeland piled on by  outrageously sending the guy an official letter of reprimand and an admonishment to learn French.  Huh?  Last time I checked, Air Canada is no longer owned by the federal government.  It is now independently-owned and answers only to shareholders.  Freeland had absolutely no business sending that letter, but Freeland being Freeland, there is no such thing as something that is not her business.  Read this morning that some female journalist is writing a puff piece book about her; if that isn't a clue that Freeland will be running to replace Trudeau, I don't know what is?

_________________________

A word about electric cars.  They run exclusively on lithium batteries and three impoverished countries in South America have the largest supplies of lithium.  Guess who owns 51% of the world's supply?  China.  Guess how China processes lithium?  In coal plants -- one of which is built every week in that country.  And guess what lithium mining is doing to the third-world countries that supply the product?  Ruining them and the people who live there.  But, hey, who cares?!  We're saving the planet!

So, while some of you are clapping yourselves on the backs about buying electric cars, the fossil fuels required to build them are enormous -- totally negating the supposed value and superiority of electric cars.  

Here's Mary.....

Public safety?

Isn't Bill Blair the minister of public "safety"?  So, why is he neither seen, nor heard from while Rome burns on the west coast?  Actually, he is now called the minister of emergency preparedness -- an even worse moniker for how abominably he has performed.  The guy should put his fiddle down and get his a-- to what was formerly Lotus Land because the public is definitely not safe there and by all accounts there seems to be an emergency unfolding.  And, while I'm at it, why isn't RCMP chief Lucki there too?  Her job is also to protect the public.  Sadly, she doesn't do it.  Remember the shootings in Nova Scotia?  Exactly.

If ever there was a time for ensuring public safety it's right now.  And why is our feckless, good-for-nothing PM pathetically wandering around Washington with Freeland in tow begging for crumbs and trying to muscle Biden into flipping his entire political agenda?  Trudeau should also be in BC -- not groveling south of the border.  And hey, with water levels at record peaks, he could even get a little surfing in while he's there.

And here's something I couldn't believe when I heard it this morning, apparently the warning alert system -- so expensively built in BC -- has never, ever, ever been triggered!  Not even now, while the province disappears under the waves.  Come to think of it, we get lots of warnings and tests here in Alberta, but never an actual alert -- not even when fires ravaged Fort MacMurray.  Of course, it's all about money because when you activate alerts, you have to deploy stuff.  That costs money, so it doesn't happen.   

We elect these people, so we deserve the swill they serve us.  But if I could find someone who admitted to having voted for the bum, I would give him/her a piece of my mind.  Reminds me of the Rae days in Ontario, where in spite of having a majority, no one ever admitted they had put their X beside his name.  

           

This is obscene!

 As I said, this is obscene.......

Most Canadians have no clue how many Canadian politicians and bureaucrats travelled to Glasgow, Scotland to participate in COP26, not to mention Canadian main stream media reps as well.   I didn't know the figures until I read the report below. 

One has to wonder why main stream media didn't publish the stats (???). 

One has to wonder what the total costs came to for everyone to attend (??). 

How many aircraft did they require to fly everyone to and from the conference (??).

 CANADIANS AT COP26 - The list of Canadians who are registered participants of COP26 is available per attached- (scroll down to the entry for Canada).   Starts on page 124 and finishes on page 145

To save you time, I copied the list ... see below.  The total came to over 300.

(I have a suggestion of how to cut down on green house gases ... and maybe save the country some money !)
