Not surprising

When the only picture taking up the whole front page of 'The Calgary Herald' is this one.....


....celebrating the end of Ramadan, a few societal pennies drop for me.  Christmas, as we all know, has been effectively eliminated in our hysterical "cancel culture" world, so a picture championing a Christian feast would be roundly condemned, were it ever published in the first place (which it wouldn't be).  This annoys many Christians, including this one, who celebrate the birth of Christ -- or just the holidays surrounding it -- and is the reason I am not surprised to read that a recent survey found that a majority of Canadians are anti-Muslim.

It's, of course, not the fault of Muslims, it's the fault of the "woke" media who daren't deviate from the un-Christian, secular path they are determined to follow.  Funny how secularism does not cancel other religious celebrations.  Just Christmas.  

What one has to acknowledge is that if other religious milestones are celebrated, while Christmas is relegated apologetically to the remote back pages, people naturally get upset.  Yet, no one except me notices this unequal juxtaposition of values.  Or, if they do, they'd never come out and write about it.  We're all skulking around Christmas, never talking about it.  It's all Seasons and Holidays, never Christmas, and I'm getting sick of it.

Just read that in Toronto alone, 9,000 beds are occupied every night in shelters for the homeless, but 2,700 of them are allocated to refugee claimants with no where else to go.  These are refugees who heeded another of Trudeau's irresponsible and rash speeches on January 28, 2017, in which he recklessly announced to the world that:

"To those fleeing persecution, terror or war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith.  Diversity is our strength #welcome to Canada." 

Bob Barker put it better when he said, "Come on down!"

Forgetting that we have an acute housing shortage here, this guy throws open the doors and windows to anyone and everyone.  Here are future refugees from South America walking through dangerous jungle to illegally get into the US, from whence they will continue illegally on to Canada, find no housing or refuge and end up part of the 2,700 sleeping in Toronto's shelters. 




It's all so dumb and unfair to everyone.
