Hey, Dumbos, Winnipeg AIN’T In Pakistan!

Despite the silly example of that statue of Obummer as a little squirt in Menteng, Jakarta, which I have managed to avoid seeing no matter how often I pass nearby the park in which it was inexplicably erected…

Menteng’s Squirt Statue

…its existence is probably less annoying than the recent opening of a park dedicated to a Pakistani politician in Manitoba.

That pathetic clown Andrew Scheer, who is Canada’s ‘Conservative’ Party leader, has publicly distanced himself from one of the few Tories there with the guts to denounce  multicultural claptrap, Maxime Bernier.

EDITORIAL: Maxime Bernier tweet hardly warrants outrage

Without the guts to say what he thinks about the actual issue, Scheer disowned Bernier, weaseling that the MP “holds no official role in caucus and does not speak for the Conservative Party of Canada on any issue.”

Weasel Scheer

Scheer is an equivocating weasel, as we have noted before now, on other issues!

Conservative leader’s free speech pledge wouldn’t apply in U of T ..

As in the UK, it sounds like real conservatives need to start a new party.

I only found out about the Winnipeg nonsense thanks to True North Initiative, which becomes more interesting, and inspirational, the more I read what Candice Malcolm writes about.

Canada has a proud history worth defending

While anti-Canadian activists removed a tribute to our first leader on the West Coast…

ooo

BC’s shame

….a group of pro-Pakistani activists, including Liberal MP Iqra Khalid, created a new tribute to a different founding father. Jinnah Park was inaugurated in Winnipeg earlier this year, paying homage to the founding leader of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Why are foreign leaders who oversaw war and bloodshed being celebrated in Canada, while our own great and peaceful leaders are targeted and smeared?

Canadians shouldn’t let those who hate our country – or are simply confused by cultural relativism – drive the political agenda.

Moronic Manitoba Outlaws ‘ASIMIL8’ – Why? Hurt Feelings!

Manitoba’s public insurance company has revoked a Star Trek inspired custom licence plate after receiving complaints that it’s offensive.

Nick Troller’s two-year-old plate reads

“ASIMIL8.”

Apparently, according to the victim, it’s a reference to the cyborg villains who bellowed “you will be assimilated” on various Star Trek series and movies.

======

======

I haven’t been a Star Trek fan since Captain Kirk was on black and white tv, but that doesn’t matter.

Mr Troller was served with a letter that states:

“…it has been brought to the attention of this office that the personalized plate ASIMIL8 is considered offensive.”

What’s offensive about assimilation?

And who gives a sh-t if some lame-brain gets ‘offended’ by something that is none of his or her business, another citizen’s witty licence plate?

Nobody forces us to peruse license plates, unless we’re in a road accident, and then it’s not FEELINGS getting hurt! 

=

=

But nowadays, in Manitoba (which used to be a very sensible province) the authorities practice serious tantrum prevention!

=

The letter demanded that he “surrender” the plate immediately.

 My first response was that any lame-brained dorks who complained were most likely to be pampered millennials, leftist sticky-beak creeps who have nothing better to do than wander round town all day desperately seeking ‘hurt feelings.’

But maybe not!

There’s a rather well-off character, ‘aboriginal,’ it seems, though he doesn’t look very Red Indian and in fact has an Irish surname…

Moran

…., 

and Ry Moran is among those who agree with MPI that the word “assimilate” is too offensive to be on a licence plate. 

“For basically the entirety of this country’s history, indigenous peoples have been forcibly assimilated through really extremely destructive means and ways.”

Oh For Pete’s Sakes!

He’s done okay out of being assimilated! Imagine using hoary grudges as an excuse for state censorship!

Assimilation should be a national policy in Canada. All those primitives caught committing so-called ‘honour’ killings? All those backward wretches in burkas?

There’s a DESPERATE need for such aliens to be taught that they live in a civilised country where their barbarous ‘cultures’ are unwelcome.

Thanks to PJ Media for publicising this.

I couldn’t agree more with their Tom Knighton, who says that if this kind of nonsense continues, and people are bullied into submission by the state, then while public discourse will be far more civil in appearance, it wouldn’t be due to sudden magnanimity.

We would simply be living in fear. Popular, uncontroversial speech has never needed protection, after all. And until now, neither did ridiculously misinterpreted language

As Jakarta Booze-Ban Looms, Winnipeg Inches Forward

Looking back Westwards, or, more accurately in geographical terms, northeastwards, I see Canada is inching forwards, at least in Manitoba, where there are reports of reforms to liquor laws.

Beer taprooms in Manitoba open as provincial liquor laws relaxed

 I’m sure my Canadian readers will have something to say about this, but my recollection from previous visits to the land I once called home is that the laws vary from province to province…

Storm Brewing in Ontario 

…in many places extremely backward – as one regular commenter told me, Ontario even bans ‘Happy Hours!’

However, in Manitoba, brewpubs – restaurants serving a combination of food and beer – have been in Winnipeg for over a decade. But for the first time, breweries will now be able to serve samples of their product on the same site in which it was brewed, called taprooms.

——————

A good, common-sense move, yes, but incredibly, the taprooms will be forced to close their doors to customers at NINE PM!

Heck, that’s when lots of people leave home to go out for a drink, here in Jakarta.

Or at least they do now.

Alas, I have heard nothing about the Indonesian Government’s unbelievably retrograde legislation aimed at imposing ‘Creeping Shariah’ prohibition, which would, if un-amended,  leave us drinkers open to prosecution for consuming a beer on a sunny arvo.

There are progressive forces at work here, notably Jakarta Governor Ahok, who recently took advantage of a new legal loop-hole to re-authorise sales of beer in mini-marts.

 Ahok

Unfortunately, despite diligent searches, I have yet to see any bottles of Bintang or Anker on the shelves of my local Indomaret or Alfamart.

I wonder if the staff – they are usually just sweet little gals – are afraid of IslamoNazi raiding parties…

…………

………………..

…who barge around town in cowardly manner seeking to intimidate defenceless employees in exactly such positions.

Mind you, there’s just been a new National Police Chief appointed, ad he’s said to be a good guy, so maybe law enforcement will be applied to the sectarian thug gangs.

Nevertheless, if parliament does their job for them…

I hear the expat population is dwindling, rapidly.
