Three Cheers for Prohibition!

Banff booze banned for long weekend

Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks have banned alcohol for the May long weekend!

Anyone who has the audacity to open their pie holes over this one needs to shut your pie hole and go home.  If you can't have a good time on a long weekend without booze, you've got bigger issues at hand and should seek help rather than an ammendment to the ban.

It's about time some people in our country started promoting a good time that does not include the consumption mind-altering drugs and drinks.

Besides, isn't camping supposed to be a family kind of thing?  I'd personally find it difficult to have a good time with my family if the bone-heads at the next site over were too wasted to keep their party contained.  If you want to drink, stay at home or go to a bar.  Those are places where it's acceptable to indulge.  But camping?  Come on and grow up.  Let the families have a good time without the drunks ruining it.  Frankly, I've had my share of family events ruined by those who've chosen to overindulge.  I see nothing wrong with the ban and even applaud those who made the decision!

Way to go Banff, Yoho and Kootenay!  Here's to a long weekend of good, clean fun!

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's 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.  T here 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. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Revival

It's been seven years since the last post. Back then, I thought North America was going to hell in a handbasket. Little did I know what was to come. Looking back, I long for the days when heating oil in a basement was the worst of my worries when it came to the stupidity of humanity. These days, I can't even read the news without getting anxious, stressed out, and just plain pissed off. So SYPH and GH is being revived. I couldn't care less if anyone reads this or not. It's more of a venting outlet than anything. Opinions that were strong when this all started are even stronger. The divide between the right and the left is even wider. My commentary will likely be even more colourful. If you don't like it, well, you can just shut your pie hole and go home.

It's about time for a little global recognition.

G-20 Nations Should Look to Canada for How to Build a Better Economy I can't even begin to describe how proud I am to be Canadian after reading this article.  Not to mention the fact that it was written by Americans. I was pleased to see Stephen Harper shown in a good light.  The gentlemen who wrote the article seem to have more respect for our Prime Minister than many Canadians. Despite the rantings of so many Canadians, it's been proven that Canada is indeed recovering faster than the majority of countries around the world. If you're not proud of that, you can shut your pie hole and go home.
