Good article wished I wrote it.  Lot of truth in the message I will say that.

 

‘Entitlement’  my ass, I paid cash for my Old Age Security!!!! Just because they borrowed the  money, doesn’t make my benefits some kind of  charity or handout !! Gold plated MP pensions and Civil Service Government  benefits,  aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement  packages, 67 paid holidays, 20 weeks paid  vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that’s  welfare, and they have the nerve to call me a ‘greedy senior’ and my  retirement, an ‘entitlement’ !!!!!!…..scroll  down…………….

What  the HELL’s wrong with us???

WAKE  UP CANADA !!!!

Someone please tell  me what the HELL’s wrong with all the people  that run this country!!!!!!

We’re “broke”  & can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans,  Orphans, Homeless  etc.,???????????
but spent 1.2 billions of dollars for G-20 events
In the  last months we have provided aid to Haiti ,  Chile , and Turkey . And now Khanistan ,  Pakistan ……home of bin Laden.   Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our  retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’  receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while  our government and religious organizations pour  Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$’s and Tons of  Food to Foreign  Countries!

They  call Old Age Security and Healthcare an  entitlement even though most of us have been  paying for it all our working lives and now when  it’s time for us to collect, the government is  running out of money. Why did the government  borrow from it in the first  place?

We have  hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved  aside to make room for the adoption of foreign  orphans.

CANADA:  a country where we have homeless without  shelter,  children going to bed hungry,  elderly going without ‘needed’ meds, lack of housing and clean water on Reserves, and mentally  ill without treatment -etc., etc.

YET…………………
They  have a ‘Benefit’  for the people of Haiti  ships and planes lining up with food, water,  tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical  supplies.

Imagine if  the *GOVERNMENT* gave ‘US’ the same support they  give to other countries.

Sad  isn’t it?

Humor For a Sunday Afternoon

My lovely sister Barb sent me this bit of humor so thought I would share.  I really got a kick out of it.

 

Frank feared his wife Gloria wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor. “Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, Gloria was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Frank was in the den. He said to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
No response.
So Frank moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “’Honey, what’s for dinner?
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her and says, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
“For heaven’s sake, Frank! For the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!”

Think on this for a second.

Impossibilities in the world
1- you can’t count your hair.
2- you can’t wash your eyes with soap.
3- you can’t breathe when your tongue is out
4- please put your tongue back inside.

5- you look ridiculous.

Bit of humor for a Sunday evening, after all it’s as important to good health as most other things.

Immigration As Seen By Wilfrid Laurier 1907

Click Picture To Enlarge.   Makes Sense To Me.
Wilfrid Laurier ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907.

‘In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us,
he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed,
or birthplace, or origin..
But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian…
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn’t a Canadian at all.
We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag…
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Canadian people.’
Wilfrid Laurier 1907
