THE CANADIAN REPORT
(October 28,2022 AD)

Well, there hasn't been a lot to report on here in the
Great White North. The Conservatives elected a new
party leader who, of course, is about as far to the right as
Attlila the Hun.And | believe he will find out the hard way
is that it’s difficult at best to build a constituency from the
lunatic fringe here in Canada. Just plain fewer lunatics.

Of course the same can't be said for the USA. They've
got lunatics to spare, and with their mid-terms coming up
in about a week from now, they're out there, spreading
lies and half truths, makin’ up all kinds of weird shit to
rouse the oversized rabble crowd, and working real hard
preachin’ the gospel of the anointed one, who shall remain
nameless and hopefully be in prison soon.

Trouble is that if they were to actually take a few
minutes to look at what the Biden government has been
able to achieve against astounding right wing resistance,
you have to say to yourself, therse people are getting the
government they need right now, but half of them are too
brainwashed to actually realize it. Of course they won't do
that and none of this is available on Fox news.

In my never so humble opinion, the only way that coun-
try doesn’t crash and burn from being totally lopsided is
if the Dems actually win complete control of both the
house and the senate. Otherwise, it's more tax breaks
for the rich, higher prices, frozen wages and unaffordable
medicine for everybody. Not a whole lot of stuff to look
forward to. But, hey. if you're gonna be stupid about under-
standing which side your bread is buttered on, maybe this
will be a bit of an object lesson.

A few people have told me | pick on the US a lot. And
that’s true. But | do it because | have a fondness for that
country that came from growing up on a border town
where a lot of my mis-spent youth was mis-spent in
OAmerica. But mostly | write about America because right
now, it's being hoodwinked by a political ideology that has
never really done that country any good.

And if all those right wing Americans would ever bother
to open a history book, they'd know that was true.
