“Hope And Change” For Canada

THANK GOD FOR SCOTT WALKER’S WALL … Obviously there’s no difference between “Republicans” and Democrats in America.  But is there a difference between “liberals” and “conservatives” in Canada?

THANK GOD FOR SCOTT WALKER’S WALL …

Obviously there’s no difference between “Republicans” and Democrats in America.  But is there a difference between “liberals” and “conservatives” in Canada?

Who knows, but the slogan of Canada’s new liberal government – which just won a majority of seats in the country’s parliament – should sound awfully familiar to Americans.

Ready?

hopeandchange

Yeah …

Thank God future U.S. president Scott Walker will be building a wall on the U.S.-Canadian border to protect us from all this additional “hope and change,” right?

Oh … wait.

To his credit, new Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau said he will be pulling his country out of Syria and Iraq, saying “we know from years of mistakes, generations of mistakes, that western or foreign troops on the ground cannot fix the conflict.”

That’s true …

Of course he’s also planning to boost deficit spending in an effort to “stimulate” the Canadian economy … which should also sound eerily familiar to Americans promised “hope and change” back in 2008 by their president, Barack Obama.

THE JERUSALEM ENQUIRER – June 30, 2028
—————————————————————

US – Canada Peace Talks

US President George Barnett and Israeli Prime Minister Shoshana Vohu met here today regarding on-again off-again peace negotiations and though, as expected, no breakthroughs
were announced, the two leaders pledged their commitment to the long-standing “special relationship” between the US and Canada.

Talks focused on the role of an objective mediator, pressure for concessions, the need for secure borders, and the possibility of reassessment.

But the Jerusalem government asserted that it will continue to supply the US with the sophisticated weapons Washington
needs even if the US and Canada are unable to resolve their bitter territorial dispute. Israel has also been aiding Canada.

Yesterday marked the ninth anniversary of America’s attack on her northern neighbor (Washington still insists on the term “defensive maneuver”). Israel has sought to act as an
honest broker in the dispute, offering arms to the US if it will agree to return Toronto to the Canadians and lawyers to Canada
if it will agree to withdraw its army from Detroit. Israel’s
expanding law schools, already turning out enough lawyers to maintain 700 battle-ready regiments of military attorneys, anticipate no difficulty in fulfilling Canada’s need for barristers.

“We do not expect peace overnight,” an Israeli spokesman said, “but we are talking to both sides and will remain even-handed.”

The Canadian Prime Minister is expected to follow President Barnett to Jerusalem in hopes of reviving the stalled peace conference, and (continued on page 75)

AAAAAAHH.!! You said “Cajuns” — I’m looking for a joke – stay tuned…….

Tazmaniac October 20, 2015 at 5:42 pm

Acadians/Cajuns are a joke, on humanity.

CaptainPalmetto October 20, 2015 at 6:59 pm

A man that knows his history – yes, Virginia (well, Taz) the Acadians and the Cajuns are the same thing, both descended from French religious migrants that came to the new world, and then got “relocated” when the Brits took over the Canadien Maritimes. Some when inland- See ‘ Quebec, etc’, and some went South – See French Huguenots, and some went further south and hooked a Ricky around Florida and ended up in worse swamps the SC had to offer – ergo, said Cajuns

Acadia, for the uninformed, was the French name for Newfoundland/Nova Scotia (The Maritmes). The French residents there were escorted out by the Brits after the English victory over France in the region and then ended up in several different other locales, primarily in the French held New Orleans district. The more willing(desirable?) were allowed to come to SC, which was ruled/run by the Lord Propriaters, who needed some migrant workers/ settlers to make a go of the for-profit exercise that was early SC

Tazmaniac October 20, 2015 at 7:04 pm

Weren’t the Louisiana ones via Haiti? Or at least a majority?

CaptainPalmetto October 21, 2015 at 3:25 pm

Lousy- Anna french folks came from many different french holdings – the group known as the Cajuns came primarily from Acadia – known as the Acadiens, this term was mongrelized over time into the word “Cajun”. Justin Wilson, humorist extraordinaire and all around great human, explains this well in a monologue that you could probably find on You Tube somewhere (isn’t everything recorded somewhere on You Tube?)

Rocky Verdad October 20, 2015 at 10:32 pm

However, one correction. The British didn’t remove the French from Quebec. And they French were at Quebec City and Three Rivers long before the English won control over the Maritimes. And yet, while a SC high school senior, after graduation, will travel to Myrtle Beach to become a man, in Canada you spend a month of your summer before college traveling the maritimes.

A man playing on a new golf course got confused as to what hole he was on. He saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her and asked if she knew what hole he was playing. She replied, “I’m on the 7th hole, and you’re a hole behind me, so you must be on the 6th hole.” He thanked her and went back to his golf.

On the back nine, the same thing happened, and he approached the lady again with the same request. She said, “I’m on the 14th, you are a hole behind
me, so you must be on the 13th.” Once again he thanked her.

He finished his round and went into the club house and saw the lady sitting at
the end of the bar. He went up to her and said, “Let me buy you a drink to
show my appreciation for your help.” He started a conversation and asked
her what kind of work she did. She said she was in sales, and he said he was in
sales also. He asked what she sold.

She replied, “If I told you, you would only laugh.”

“No, I wouldn’t,” he said.

She said, “I sell tampons.”

With that he fell on the floor laughing so hard.

She said, “See, I knew you would laugh.”

“That’s not what I’m laughing at,” he replied. “I’m a toilet paper salesman, so I’m STILL one hole behind you!”

After a particularly poor game of golf, a
popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked,
“Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?”

“Yes,” the golfer responded.

“Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?”

“Yes, I did. How did you know?” he asked.

“Well,” said the policeman very seriously, “Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver’s windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck
couldn’t make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you
going to do about it?”

The golfer thought it over carefully and responded…

“I think I’ll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my
right thumb.”

I also save both funny and serious comments from you guys & gals. At some point I’m going to make joke books for my family members, edited to suit them individually, and for some friends of mine.

A woman playing golf was stung by a bee. Afraid she’d have an allergic reaction, she ran back to the clubhouse to find the pro.

Finding him, she says breathlessly, “I’ve been stung by a bee! What shall I do?”

“Where were you stung?” the pro asks.

“Between the first and second hole!”

“Lady, we gotta’ work on your stance.”

OK Flip – real story. So two years ago I was dispatched at the request of my mother to attend her cousin’s funeral. She couldn’t go anymore because of age. I have to go, I’m the only one who speaks the language and I’m her son and Marie’s grandson. Fine! So we’re at the funeral site on Mt. Royal, overlooking the vast cemetery of Montreal. Fall day, clear skies – you look down off the mountain and see downtown Montreal and the Olympic Village in the distance. My french-speaking relatives come up and point it out and with tears in their eyes, remark how that village is a symbol of Quebec’s greatness. The English speakers (the gin drinkers) come up to me later, point out in the distance, and say with smile, dumbest waste of money ever!!

Why drinking booze introduces you
to interesting folks— after watching that “free women” video, this guy gave
me his thoughts on it:
————————————-

“It’s all the way you look at them. If you give some thought to it, you won’t
decide women are so beautiful. Men are always talking about how beautiful a woman’s breasts are. Go look at one.

Suppose women were built different than they are today. Suppose all the women in the world had only one breast apiece and it was right in the middle and had tits on
it like a cow.

What would the men say: Beautiful! They’d go around grabbing at that unsightly thing and talking about how lovely and round it was, and how pink, and so on.

All right. Suppose that’s the way
it was, and along comes a woman with two breasts like they got how. Good God!
That woman would be a circus freak and men wouldn’t be able to look at
her without getting sick at the stomach.

So I got it figured out that a woman’s breasts are unbeautiful, not to
mention downright ugly.”
