The United Nations...

So.

I had to head over to the North Shore today.

Without the VW (notso)Microbus.

Which meant that I had to ride down to Waterfront Station.

And while I was waiting for the Seabus I sat on the steps and read yesterday's NYT cover story on the Olmert/Abbas negotiations and wondered if maybe, just maybe, pols that are in real trouble for doing stupid, corrupt things sometimes attempt to make things right by doing the really right thing.

And then I looked up from the dead-tree/no-kindle version of the paper and noticed that I was surrounded by the entire youth wing of the United Nations.....

Snow Board Division.....

Amazing.

Just saying... said...

Multiculturalism and massive immigration are both key planks of the agenda to divide and re-conquer this continent.

For fun, do a little digging into Ellen Louks Fariclough, the all-important Minister of Citizenship and Immigration way back in the Diefenbaker government, when all of these changes really got underway.

Cui Bono--? said...

Globalism is a many-splendoured thing--no?

Check out this piece for a little more background into what's going on:

Just Saying, do you mean the brown people and the yellow people are out to steal North America from the White people? they can't do that! We stole it from the red people fair and square!
Multiculturalism is no longer just a government policy of giving money to ethnic dance festivals and enforcing the laws barring discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color and religion. (and now sexual orientation). Multiculturalism is the norm if you live in a city in North America. It is reality. Get used to it.

To Rev.Paperboy,

No--i didn't mean that "...the brown people and the yellow people are out to steal North America from the White people...".

I always make a point of avoiding the race bait, knowing that it would be far too simplistic to see the "G"reat work in terms of colours. Whether it's the green in Iran, orange in the Ukraine, or red in Thailand, i'm always looking for the hidden hand.

Now, let me bump up this article one more time and encourage one and all to have a thorough read of it. Maybe this will give you a clue, though i sincerely doubt it at this point: http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article/151814643-ottawa-and-beijing--a-sad-story

'Tis like drawing flies to rotting cheese-whiz sandwiches.

Or some such thing.

Thanks rev.

(and a million, billion thanks NVG)

Just asking? said...

So, Ross, did you read the article ?


http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article/151814643-ottawa-and-beijing--a-sad-story

Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Rev.Paperboy said...

Just Asking? is that the best you can do? A seven year old post about possible corruption in the Canadian foreign service and Liberal government that is based almost entirely on a couple of stories in the Asia Pacific Post and Alex Jones-level paranoid conspiracy mongering about the imminent Chicom takeover of North America-- which naturally has nothing to do with multiculturalism or large-scale immigration or anything else we were talking about.
More better trolls please!

As expected said...

So i'll take it that rev. did not do any reading.

Rev.Paperboy said...

you'd be wrong again, then.

Excellent. said...

So, you're ready to get down to brass tacks, then, revie--?

Shall we start at the level of the rcmp complicity and move upwards--?

RossK said...

Oh.

Now I get it.

It's a cop-induced multinational backwoods snowboarding conspiracy with black hordes AND black helicopters.....

Look.

My only point was that these kids from all over the world were using a publicly-funded public transit system to all get together, and all get along, doing something that is so Canadian that it actually proves the point.

About multiculturalism, I mean.

And if anybody thinks that the rev and I haven't gone after malfeascance, some of it systemic, by the Horsemen in the past, you are wrong.

Very wrong.
