Here’s wishing you and yours and happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

Germany’s slippery slope to female segregation. What’s next? Not be allowed in public sans a male relative escort? Burkas?
Madness. There is only one cause of this, which is staring Germans in the face. Will they figure it out before it’s too late? The Visegrád Group certainly has.
Once again, sock boy will embarrass Canada on the world stage. He might even break down and cry, but the grown-ups have already moved on.
Gender equality, climate change and economic growth “that works for everyone” are among Ottawa’s top priorities for the meeting of the world’s largest advanced economies — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States.
The US reaction is a little different than it was under Obummer:
US President Donald Trump tweeted later that Iran’s people wanted change and “oppressive regimes cannot endure forever”.

And so Mr. Trudeau leaves this year with a bundle of negotiations unsettled, wounded ministers, pledges undelivered, in violation of the law governing conflict of interest, at odds with the UN economy, and no single major policy achievement. He caps that with that parting press conference horror, signalling a prime minister struggling, anxious and incoherent — an image which, if it takes, will be fatal for an administration that has made the prime minister’s image its only ace. Much like the Goulds, only in reverse.
Remembering Mary Tyler Moore, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lewis, David Rockefeller, Trisha Brown, Glen Campbell, Dick Gregory, Edith Windsor, Sam Shepard, Tom Petty and many others who died this year.
Daniel Pipes on modern arf in Venice:
I felt tempted to shout out to the horde of art-worshipers, “The emperor has no clothes. This is a fraud. Leave this bleak place, and instead visit Venice’s exquisite streets, waterways, churches, and palaces.” But exhibit-goers had each paid an entrance fee of €25 (US$30), and, judging by the many photographs being snapped and the learned discussions underway, the biennale cheerfully satisfied their artistic tastes. So I stayed mum.
So now you know what ordinary folks, including small businesses, have to deal with all the time. An epiphany for the parasitic class? Doubt it.
“When you call, you reach a call centre of people who can’t help you — human answering machines. How does that make any sense?” she wailed. “The people you call don’t have any access to your file, they can’t change anything. All they can do is create a ‘ticket’ so that apparently one of the magical little elves will someday look at your file and decide to fix it.”

As mentioned here, Kathleen Wynne is quite a piece of work. Evidently, she has plumbed new depths. What a disgusting human being.
I found myself near disgusted by her words, not because they didn’t apply perfectly to the Shermans. It was because I felt Wynne was using the funeral and the rawness of everyone’s emotions as an opportunity to cosy up to Toronto’s Jewish community.
Read it all.
It saddens me, but Hillary Clinton has just been voted Prat of the Year 2017. Hang your heads in shame all you Prattie voters. There simply must have been something of even lower worth floating around in the cheese dick, bottom scraping, unflushable floater, skid marked underpants of a deep, depraved and at times disconsolate world. At last, she’s finally won something, and on a better justification than my hubbie used to be the president, I’m a woman, he’s shagged everyone with anything even vaguely resembling a vagina around us, and therefore I am entitled to be the next president of the USA.
As mentioned here, many in my family—including my father—and in my friends’ families fought in the war. Here’s an old friend’s father, Alex Polowin, reminiscing. I only knew Mr Polowin to be in the RCN. Like many brave young men of the time, he was underage, having lied his way into the service so that he could do his part. I had no idea he was so decorated. I didn’t know he played the harmonica, either, but his eldest son, Howard, was an excellent guitarist. His youngest son, Sheldon, is a very successful and sought-after economist.
Diversity, indeed. The audacity of the unethical sock boy to preach to Canadians about values. Hypocrite.
The surrender continues in western Europe:
This year’s Christmas season has been marked by Islam-related controversies in nearly every European country. Most of the conflicts have been generated by Europe’s multicultural political and religious elites, who are bending over backwards to secularize Christmas, ostensibly to ensure that Muslims will not be offended by the Christian festival.
Nice headgear, Kathleen, but you’d look better in a full burqa. Ackshully, “Islamaphobia” is on the decline in Canada, which is amazing considering Muslims do so little to ingratiate themselves while our perverse governments shove them down our throats. Indeed, terrorism is on the rise in the world. Thankfully, most of it is Muslims killing one another. Antisemitism, however, is on the rise everywhere—everywhere that the Muslim population is on the rise, including in Ontari-owe:
…hate crimes against the Jewish population grew from 178 to 221 incidents. Increases were seen in Ontario (+31)…
Hair Lisp is more unhinged than Jack Layton’s tea and crumpet set. Heavens forfend Trudeau upsets his ever-increasing Muslim voter base.
Trudeau’s own Public Safety Minister, Ralph Goodale, also appears to disagree with the policy that you can hug terrorists back into society. He recently said that the chances of turning around someone who has actively engaged in terrorist activities in a war zone were “pretty remote”.
