The Little Guy in the Whitehouse with my final blog … for a while.
#1. Ontario Tory Leadership
It appears that the Provincial Tories are hell bent for an early leadership convention.
It would be a big mistake. They have 4 years to get their act together and part of that process should be to see who might be best to lead them.
The Tory public also needs to get behind the new leadership and have been sorely disappointed by the offerings of the last 10 years.
Lets wait 2 years or so and allow for a dry run between the potential leaders … Elliott, MacLeod et al.
#2. Randy Hillier
I have been critical of Mr. Hillier in earlier blogs but the chap has come out with some good ideas of late.
Hillier, the MPP for Lanark – Frontenac, has come out with solid common sense ideas on how to involve the grass roots. He sees the Tory apparatus being pyramid like … that is to say, ruled from the top down and is advocating rule from the bottom up. This is exactly what the Tories need if they ever hope to return to power.
Hillier has announced that he will not be in the running for new leader but I suggest he reconsider. Even if he does not win, which is most likely, at least his running would provide a valuable platform for his refreshing ideas. And I would offer my advice for gratis if he chooses to do so.
#3. The Egyptian – Canadian(?) Journalist
The Tory of Government of Canada is under fire for not aggressively coming to the defence of Al-Jazeera Journalist Mohamed Fahmy.
Fahmy was sentenced this week to 7 years by an Egyptian Court and the left in Canada is livid that Canada has not done more to help him.
But my reply to these dear and misguided folks is no damn way.
As you know, I am fundamentally opposed to dual citizenship – it is an oxymoron. How can one be loyal to two or more Sovereign States at the same time.
The fact is they cannot.
But in Fahmy case, I am doubly opposed to Canada’s involvement due to the fact that one of his claimed citizenships is Egyptian. Hence when he goes to Egypt, he is in one of his mother lands and must abide by their laws. If this had occurred in Iran say, there may be some onus on Canada to act. But not much.
But to add insult to injury, the guy has lived, worked and made his home in Egypt for a dozen years. Doesn’t sound like much of a Canadian to me.
Leftist loons … call of the attack dogs; you are only making yourselves look silly.
#4. Iraq
Iraq is in a state of collapse and the blame goes back to the treaties ending the First World War.
There are, as you know 3 distinct sects comprising that beleaguered country – the Kurds in the North, the Sunnis in the Center and the Shiite, who make up the majority, are primarily located in the South.
The Shittes and the Sunnis are at each others’ throats across Islam and have been since the middle ages.
So what to do.
The US has an obligation to do something given its military incursion into that hapless nation.
It cannot guarantee the peace but it could have and still can stop / slow the advance of the radical Sunnis to give time to the majority Shittes to get ready to withstand the Sunnis assault.
The fact that America is not taking such action is another knock against the Little Guy in the White House as my final Blog will point out.
But longer term, Iraq needs to be sectioned…as, believe it or not, Vice President Biden earlier proposed. Indeed, it was one of the only times that I can recall being in sync with the mentally challenged VP.
As an aside, there is much to compare between Biden and Justin Trudeau, both have nice hair and nice teeth but not much upstairs.
But I digress.
Back to Biden’s idea of creating three states out of the current Iraq: A Kurdish nation in the North; A Sunnis nation in the middle; and A Shiite nation in the south.
It, dear reader, is the only way to go.
#5. The Solution To Islam
I have said it before but it is worth saying again, the only solution to the problems in the Middle East is to draw a ring around Islam and let them fight it out.
No more loss of life and wasted money for the West.
No one gets in and no one gets out.
No immigration from any of those states until those states come to their senses.
No flights, no boats, no rail, no roads, just closed borders.
Sounds harsh doesn’t? Well it is.
And yet, it is the only thing that is going to work…otherwise the death and misery being experienced there now will only continue to spread to our fair lands.
Once the last men and women standing so to speaks come to their senses, they will be glad that the West is still there in tact to guide the Middle East into the 21 st Century.
#6. Dearth of Leadership
Have you noticed that lack of true leadership in the world around us?
Where are the FDRs, the Churchills, the Kennedys, the Reagans, the Iron Ladies?
No wonder things across the planet are in such a mess:
The middle east in burning;
Africa is terror central;
Europe / Russia are at each others’ throats;
Iran has the bomb by now despite what the little guy is saying;
Nuclear North Korea continues to march to its own twisted drum;
China is flexing its muscles and sooner, than later will be causing even more fear and unrest for their peace-loving neighbours.
As to want of leadership, we need look no further than to our own deficient leadership:
Ontario has just re-elected the worst Government in its over 200 hundred year history;
At the top, we have Sullen Stephen (he who is light on conservatism); Angry Tom (who is light on separatists) and Little Between The Ears Justin (who fortunately got his mother’s looks … but sadly, also her brains.)
As I see it…
