Here’s something for Canadians to think about. With a population hovering between 22 and 23 million people, six out of ten Australians don’t agree with the federal government’s plan to increase the country’s population to 35 million fourty years from now, a goal they hope to achieve via immigration.
Hmm, that has a familiar ring to it, but I can’t say for sure if the Canadian government back in the day–like the 70s, maybe the early 80s, had a similar plan. They probably did though and we fourty-something-year-old Canadians have forgotten about it by now.
I’m all for immigration, bringing in foreigers to keep the country rolling along economically and all those good things that are supposed to come with it, but at the end of the day and that day is going to come in Canada, somebody has to draw the line when it comes to the number of people Canada is going to let through it’s gates.
Taxpayers will only foot the bill for so long you know. Sooner or later, they are going to say enough already, but that is going to take years. It probably won’t happen in my lifetime, but the day Canada is forced to put an end to immigration is going to come.
You know why that is going to happen, it’s because Canada won’t be able to keep up with the social ailments that come with having lax immigration laws, policies and procedures. They haven’t been able to do it so far.
The feds for years now have been talking about getting youth crime under control, but really, Liberal or Conservative, they haven’t been able to walk that walk, not that immigrant youth are responsible for all the crimes youth commit across Canada. They are big part of the problem though. What about the healthcare system working better, how many of governments being trying to get that working efficiently and effectively in Canada, and do you really think healthcare for Canadians is any better today than it was ten, fifteen, twenty years ago?
Gee, I wonder which Canadians use more healthcare services, those naturalized Canadians born outside of Canada and their children, or Canadians like me, born and bred in Canada. And what about welfare, that refugee thing Canada has going for it, like what a burden that is on the welfare system, the one that relies on your tax dollars to keep refugees clothed, fed, educated and in good health so that when the time comes, they can become productive members of Canadian society, you know, put into Canadian society what they have taken out of it.
Hmm, how many Tamil refugees are in Canada again–you do know that outside of Sri Lanka, Canada has the largest Tamil population in the world, right? I think there’s close to half a million of them living in Canada thanks to the Liberal government that pandered to them in exchange for what, votes later on down the road. What a f***ing joke that was, especially given what Tamil refugees brought into Canada with them, you know, the bad shit.
For the sake of curiosity I wonder, have the Tamil refugees, those that made good in Canada, put as much back into Canadian society as they have put into the terrorist organization they supported, the LTTE, Tamil Tigers. You know what’s funny about that by the way, the Tamils often repeat that they were being forced into donating money to the Tiger cause in Sri Lanka, and yet they would take to the streets of Canada waving that red flag, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam flag. Hmm, anybody force them to do that?
What about welfare. Like think about it, how many immigrants upon their arrival to Canada get access to that system, and of them, how many are abusing access to that handout? Seriously, if you don’t think immigration is a drain, a burden on Canada’s welfare system, you need your head examined. Not all immigrants are a burden though.
There are some hardworking ones, the kind of people who put back into the system what they have taken out, but I think there are more that just take and take and take, and give nothing back. That’s a problem in the Tamil community isn’t it; in fact, much of the burden on Canada’s welfare system comes from refugees from many countries, doesn’t it?
And, don’t even get me started on crime, something the feds despite their half-assed efforts, haven’t been able to get a handle on–that youth crime thing being a huge problem that others candy coat every year by throwing out stats saying crime is dropping across the country. That’s just a whole lot of bullshit that is, an effort by the feds to keep us from thinking the worst, for if we do–they are pretty much history when the next election has come and gone. The government knows how to play the game. They know how to fudge the numbers, tell us what we want to hear so that it makes them look like they are better at whatever it is they are supposed to be doing to make Canada a better place to live.
Sixty-per cent of Australians are not buying into their government’s plan to increase the population by thirteen million by the year 2050, and maybe its because those people have seen what a plan like that has done for Canada, not that immigration has been all bad for Canada. I’m sure if I dig deep enough I can find some good things to say about Canadian immigration, but I’ll leave that up to somebody else to do, because I think it might be too time consuming for me.
They don’t believe for one second that boosting the country’s population means younger taxpayers to pay for the high cost of an ageing population, and they aren’t buying into the economic argument either, with half of those surveyed saying that more immigrants would not help the economy. Yeah, it must be that drain on the welfare and healthcare system going through their minds. Hard to say.
Tomorrow in Crooked in Canada, I intend to shoot my mouth about refugees in light of that Bosnian killer who has been stripped of his refugee status, and is currently sitting in jail waiting for his flight out of Canada. How much as that piece of shit cost Canadian taxpayers since he landed on their shores I wonder.
By the way, in the Oxford Dictionary xenophobia is defined as hear or hatred of foreigners, strangers. I don’t hate foreigners and strangers and they certainly don’t frighten me. They aren’t easy to trust to however. If anybody thinks I am a xenophobe after reading this post and the one I intend to publish tomorrow–YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR F***ING MIND.
What the f*** is up with ex-NHLer Rob Ramage? Remember him hockey fans, he’s the drunk driver that killed former Chicago Blackhawk Keith Magnusson.
What was it Ramage did he again, he got drunk, got behind the wheel of a car and killed somebody, a crime he should spend a very long time in jail for, right? Yeah, so anyway the asshole is appealing his conviction and his 4-year prison sentence seven years after he committed his crime. Can you f***ing believe that? And get this; Ramage has already done his time, sort of anyway.
He was released from prison in January 2008, after serving less than four years for ending somebody else’s life, and now he is saying that the police violated his rights while they were gathering the evidence that convicted of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
Is he f***ing serious, he’s the guy who committed a willful and deliberate act when got behind the wheel of his rental car and drove off with Magnusson as his passenger. He’s the one who after he killed “his friend”, refused to provide a urine sample at the hospital, or wherever the f*** it was he asked to provide one.
F*** the piece of shit has a lot of balls, doesn’t he? I used to think the former St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, and Toronto Maple Leafs was a stand-up guy, but I certainly don’t think that anymore.
It has been a long time coming for the five children of Arcelie Laoagan, the woman who was found dead on a LRT platform in Calgary, slacks pulled down around her ankles, but justice is coming, sort of.
I say sort of because, the only real justice in this case would be if the killer, 24-year-old Christopher Watcheston , was looking at the death penalty. When he is found guilty of the rape and first-degree murder of this mother, the sick f*** should hang by his neck on the end of rope. Now that would be justice for Ms. Laoagan’s five children, wouldn’t it?
January 17, 2008 , the woman who was working two jobs so she could be bring her children over from the Philippines , left work early because there was nothing to do at West Canadian Graphics.
Unfortunately for her, she came face to face with a sexual deviant (see photo below) near the Franklin light-rail station, where she was hit over the head and then raped.
I’m not sure how all this played out, but Crooked in Canada is thinking that the woman was dead when Watcheston raped her, that when he hit over the head, he was only trying to knock her out–you know, so passers-by wouldn’t hear her screams for help.
Her body was found on a pathway behind a church the next morning. This poor woman came to Canada to make a better life for her family and some sick f*** killed her.
We Canadians have a lot to be proud of today, tomorrow and for quite awhile, not that we don’t have other reasons to be proud everyday of the week. This Olympic thing though, like WOOHOO! As Pink sings, “Let’s get this party started,” if you haven’t already Canada.
Sidney Crosby became a national hero on the last day of the 21st Olympic Winter Games with his game winning goal seven minutes and bit into overtime of the gold medal hockey game.
No doubt, the party hit the streets across the nation after that goal was scored. I wish I could have been there.
What a show Team Canada, the rest of our Olympians and Vancouver, put on. And, how about the closing ceremonies, like yeah, they were “Made in Canada” all right.
Not much else I can say except their shouldn’t be a Canadian anywhere on the planet who isn’t smiling from ear-to-ear, not even those Canadians who find themselves locked up in foreign jails, if of course they heard the news.
Our soldiers at Kandaharin Afghanistan, they were able to watch the game too, and you can bet they went a little crazy after Crosby’s overtime winner.
All up, Canada did good at the Winter Olympics, good, and like I was saying yesterday–Monday should be declared a national holiday in the name of patriotism and Canadian pride. If it isn’t declared a National Day of Patriotism then take a sick day, so you can either recover from the celebrations on Sunday or if you are a “party animal” like I used to be, drag the celebrating out for another day if you think you can get away with it.
I know if I was in Canada and had to get for work tomorrow, I’d be taking a sick day, and what a party I’d turn it into.
What more can Crooked in Canada say that hasn’t been said already?
Not since Sydney (in 2000) have I seen a city embrace the games the way they’ve been embraced here. My gut instinct is that is what these games will be remembered for-Sebastian Coe, head of the 2012 Summer Games in London.
Owning the podium isn’t about total medals won, it’s all about which country has the most gold draped around it’s neck, and in this Olympic Winter Games, that honour goes to Canada.
What a [gold] rush for the host country, huh Canada, and did our $117-million Olympians do us proud. Nine gold medals in six days for 13 golden moments so far and there are still two more on offer tomorrow.
If Canada wins gold against Team USA at the hockey rink tomorrow, or, if our cross-country skiers win gold in the 50-kilometer race, Canada will own the record of most gold medals won at any Olympic Games. Our Olympians currently share that record with the former Soviet Union team of 1976, and the Norwegian team of 2002.
Canada has already broken the record of gold medals won by a host country, a record the Americans laid claim to in the boycotted Los Angeles Olympic Summer Games of 1984. They won 10 that year.
That said, I think Monday should be a national holiday so that Canadians can do the party up right. It would be the patriotic thing to do, but the chances of the federal government declaring Monday a national day of celebration are pretty slim.
Not all is lost though, because you can always call in sick for work, right you patriotic Canadian party animals?
Congratulations to our Canadian Olympians, who as far as this Canadian National living in Australia is concerned, OWN THE PODIUM.
Oh yeah, and F*** THE UK MEDIA! Go down as the worst Winter Games in Olympic history they were saying. Like how f***ing dumb has Canada made them look.
After all, the hype leading up and during these Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn only managed to ski away from Vancouver with one gold and one bronze medal. It’s a pretty good hall for the SILF, but at the end of the day, she definitely didn’t live up to all the hype. F*** man, the way some people carried on about her, you would have thought she would have “owned the podium.”
I heard on Fox News the other day that, Geraldo Rivera is going to be sensationalizing what our Canadian women’s hockey team got up to before and after they beat the USA for the gold medal. Something about partying and sex, it sounded like he was going to expose, in the melodramatic kind of way the 66-year-old member of Tau Delta Phi usually does.
You know, I used to like the guy, but now I think he is a bit of f***ing moron–one who at his age should probably learn to keep his mouth shut, you know, that “not being able to back it up anymore” thing he has going on these days.
To add a little “oomph” to the story Geraldo is going to tell, and it’s ironic, emergency shipments of condoms have been airlifted to the Olympic villages in Vancouver and Whistler. Rumor has it the condoms are in the hands of souvenir collectors, that they aren’t being used.
The first shipment of 100,000 condoms (about 14 per athlete) was provided by the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research. I beg to differ. Where do you think the money came to pay for condoms, certainly not out of the not-for-profit charity’s coffers? Can you say taxpayer?
Like WTF man, can’t the athletes afford to pay for their own condoms; are times that tough for them? FYI-At the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, there were 5000 condoms left over and they were auctioned off.
Off topic–A tsunami warning has been issued for parts of Australia, including where I live. It comes after that earthquake more than half a world away from here, in Chile. We aren’t rushing for higher ground–in fact I was thinking about heading over to Point Danger to get a better look. However, given that it is supposed to strike at about 8:45am (its 8:36 now), by the time, I get there; I will have missed the show if in fact a show happens. The tsunami is traveling a long way.
The New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board is going after Channel 9 presenter Eddie McGuire for his poke at the gay men of figure skater, that Brokeback mountain comment and jab at American skater Johnny Weir what is motivating them. Weir by the way did commentary for Channel 9 during the figure skating, and not to miss an opportunity to get some much needed publicity for himself also held a press conference to address the homophobic remarks.
Enough already, the gay community is just as guilty as anybody else when it comes to bigotry, and its about time they grew some thicker skin and like water off a duck’s back…
Yesterday I told the story about visually impaired Olympian Olympian Brian McKeever, and how he was going to become the first winter sports athlete ever to participate in both the Olympics, and the Paralympics. Sadly that isn’t going to happen now, because his coach doesn’t feel he is fast enough for, the 50-kilometer race tomorrow.
Gee, how long does anybody think it is going to take before somebody comes out and says, “It had nothing to do with the cross-country skier’s speed and everything to do with his coach succumbing to pressure from other forces, who didn’t think it was appropriate to have a handicapped person skiing for Canada in these Olympics Games, that is usually reserved for those athletes who don’t have disabilities.” What will they say, “They have their own Olympics.”
It may not play out like that, but somebody will play the discrimination card in this story sooner or later, because somebody usually does.
I can’t f***ing believe it, Justice Bruce Durno has let another of the Toronto 18 terrorists walk. Yep, the biggest threat to Canada’s public safety–suicide bombers, armed psychos, and drunk drivers aside, has let Jahmaal James walk after he pleaded guilty on Friday to having gone to Pakistan to obtain paramilitary training for the benefit of the so-called Toronto 18.
That charge by the way, it sounds a little dodgy to me–since when is it against the law for somebody to get paramilitary training in another country? Seriously, I have never heard of such a thing.
Terrorist coddler Durno ordered the 26-year-old released from custody after the judge took into consideration again, time served. This despite the fact that James actually did hook up with the terrorist group and was prepared to help them train for their terrorist attacks.
James would later become disgruntled with the Toronto 18 because of the reckless manner they were being led, and he split. James obviously thought he could do a better job of leading the Toronto 18 I guess. He was also afraid that authorities were on to the group.
The bottom line is that James in the beginning wanted to be a part of the terrorist organization and he was willing to do whatever he thought he could do for them to help them carrying out their attacks. That in itself shows how much of a danger to the community he, a dangerous offender if you will–as are all the people who were involved in this plot. You know how things are supposed to happen when it comes to dangerous offenders; they are supposed to be locked up indefinitely, not given a slap on the wrist.
I suspect that this will be the last terrorism case Justice Durno ever presides over. In fact, I’m thinking that his days on the Supreme Court bench are numbered; an impending psychological review he is going to have to submit himself to as part of the appeal the feds have already launched, in regards to another sentence he handed down in this terrorism case being what puts an end to is days on the bench.
Justice Bruce Durno is a rogue judge that must be stopped.
You know that scientist that went missing after leaving the National Research Council’s Canadian Neutron Beam Centre (NRC-CNBC) in Chalk River, Lachlan Cranswick, well he still hasn’t turned up despite the Ontario Provincial Police having done (so they say anyway) everything they can to track him, exhausting all their leads.
So what do you think happen to this guy anyway, and do you think he is still alive? Me, I think he is still alive and that if he didn’t make himself disappear, somebody snatched him from his home. Somebody who thinks this guy might be of some use in an act of terrorism on Canadian soil, or something like that.
NRC-CNBC provides specializes facilities so that experiments can be conducted in physics, chemistry, bioscience, earth science and engineering.
The centre exams metal to see what is going on inside of them, mostly to see why accidents happen, like the explosions of the Challenger and Columbia space shuttles for example, and ecological disasters that involve trains, but the centre is also in bed with the Department of National Defence, trying to make submarines safer.
I’m thinking terrorist organizations and rogue states, Iran and North Korea for example, would be interested in the kind of work Cranswick does for the centre. Under the right circumstances, I sure they could lure somebody with Cranswick’s skill and expertise to come and work for them. If they weren’t able to do that, and were eager enough to have a scientist like Cranswick working for them, I don’t think they would be above kidnapping him either. You never know, right?
Nevertheless, Cranswick has disappeared, and his colleagues are baffled by it. According to them, he wasn’t depressed either, not that I think they would be able to tell one way or the other. Depressed people are pretty good at keeping their depression under wraps when the have to.
Who knows, maybe he was suicidal and somewhere out there in the bush near his home, is his decomposing body buried under snow.
Only a couple of days left until the closing ceremonies. Finally.
Jesus man, it has taken forever to get the 21st Olympic Winter Games over and done with, but you know what, VANOC put on a helluva show. F*** those moronic Poms who said the Vancouver Games were going to be the worst Winter Games in history. By the way, how many medals does Great Britain have to brag about, one gold isn’t it?
Yeah the limey’s can only hope they can put on as good of show in the summer of 2012 as Canada has done in these Winter Games.
Anyway, our Canadian Olympic team might be ranked third on the ladder, but when it comes to the gold medal count, Canada OWNS THE PODIUM with 10–1 more than Germany, two more than the USA, and in a position to win three more, maybe. One in men’s curling and one in ice hockey.
Yeah, if owning the podium means winning the most gold medals, Canada is almost there. By the way, Canada needs to win only three medals to equal their performance in Turin at the last Winter Games.
Yep, our Olympians just might make this blogger look f***ing dumber than he sounds after saying that a) they wouldn’t own the podium, something the Canadian Olympic Committee said too, and b) wouldn’t win as many medals as the won at Torino.
So, Canada and the U.S. are going head-to-head for the gold medal in ice hockey. You know what I’m thinking, I’m thinking the Canadians are going to skate circles around them, that the game won’t even be close. That’s what I’m hoping anyway. You never know though.
What a disappoint the women were in curling, not that they didn’t play well, but that extra end they played–well let’s just say Cheryl Bernard’s rink made a bad f***ing call. They should have taken out the rock that was just outside the button instead of trying for the double take out.
Sweden caught a break because somebody had a brain freeze.
Silver is good though, but that hot looking skipper knows she could have won Canada another gold. Bernard f***ed up, and she knows it.
Our men’s speed skating team did well, huh? A gold and silver in the short track, and a gold in the relay.
The last three days have been very good for our Canadian team, winning what, 11, 12 medals isn’t it? They aren’t finished yet either.
A killer whale with anger management issues killed a trainer at Sea World in Orlando, Florida a couple of days ago, and while I feel for the trainer and her family and friends, people should know f***ing better when it comes to captive animals.
Like WTF man, would you turn your back on somebody you were holding captive for your own amusement and the pleasure of others–probably f***ing not, eh? So why would somebody turn their back on a giant sea creature that has been kept against its will for more than a decade, and one that has killed previously. Like WTF is wrong with that picture, and what does it say about the people running the show?
The other thing is, if a whale has killed previously, and this Orca whale has killed two other times, why in the f*** would anybody want to risk more people’s lives. That just doesn’t make any logical sense to me, and if I were the family of Dawn Brancheau, I would be looking at taking the owners of Sea World to court, making them accountable for what Tilikum did to Brancheau.
The whale should have been taken out of commission a long f***ing time ago, like when he killed his first victim in Canada. The second victim, well, that was his own damn fault. He shouldn’t have scaled the fence and then jumped into the pool with him.
That guy was just a f***ing idiot, and obviously had a death wish. Nevertheless, Tilikum was kept in action for the sake of money, and as far as I’m concerned the owners of Sea World have a lot to answer for now. In case you haven’t heard, Tilikum is going to continue performing at Sea World, though I don’t think it is going to be easy finding people to work with him now, not unless there are anger management courses for killer whales.
By the way, how f***ing low can people go. The maggots haven’t even appeared on her corpse yet, and people are already saying she was the maker of her own fate, that her death is her won damn fault–something to do with her having long hair. Like get f***ing real already.
Speaking of treatment for animals with issues, have you heard about the drunken monkey zookeepers in Russia have sent off to rehab? Like how f***ing funny is that, and will it work I wonder.
The beer drinking and cigarette smoking chimpanzee has apparently gone too far, his vices becoming a pain in the ass for passers-by, something about him pestering them for booze. Doesn’t that say a lot about Russians and drinking?
Nothing like taking a bottle of vodka on a trip to the zoo with your kids. Hmm, that idiot that climbed the fence and jumped into the pool with Timilku, he was drunk wasn’t he?
Zhora as the sauced up simian was called, has fathered several children, which might explain why he has taken up cigarette smoking and drinking.
He is currently at rehab center in Kazan, a city 800km (500 miles) east of Moscow.
So anyway, have you seen the billboard PETA put up, the one that Tiger Woods is apparently suing them over?
The other day, as did most Canadians, I watched the Canadian women’s hockey team win their third consecutive gold medal. There wasn’t much of celebration here in Oz, not that there wasn’t one somewhere where Aussie-Canadians congregated to watch the game, but I hear Hayley Wickenheiser and company did it up right, drawing the ire of the International Olympic Committee and a few prudes who were at the Ice Palace.
I think its cool the women took to the ice with beer, champers and cigars and I really don’t see what the big deal is, though they did break Vancouver’s smoking by-law, and did contribute to the delinquency of a minor, the only person to scorein the game, Marie-Philip Poulin. She’s only 18.
By the way, what’s the deal with her middle name? Did her parents have the foresight to give her a man’s name, you know just in case she decides to go all Chastity Bono later in life, you know, thatsex change operation thing.
Haley Irwin could be seen pouring champagne down team-mate Tessa Bonhomme’s throat, while other players lay stretched out on the ice, drinking from bubbly bottles and beer cans.
Apparently, it was a traditional ice hockey celebration, something that happens when the ice rink has been emptied of fans. The IOC fun police don’t think it’s a good idea though, something about the celebration not being a good promotion of sporting values–so Gilbert Felli says anyway.
As I already said, I don’t see what the big deal is, though underage drinker Poulin would have been wise to leave her beverage in the dressing room, or just not return to the ice at all.
Hockey Canada has since released a statement saying the team regretted any embarrassment the celebration may have caused after fans had left the building.
The impromptu celebration occurred after the players were asked to go back onto the ice for a photo op.
Canadian Olympians may not own the podium outright, but f*** man, they own a big piece of it with 16 medals in total, eight of them gold. The past two days have been very good for the Canadians, winning four medals on the 13th day of the Vancouver Games, and of course that gold medal the women’s hockey team won by defeating the Americans 2-0 today.
I hear the celebrations got a little out of hand on the ice though, something about the girls drinking alcohol, an allegation the International Olympic Committee is looking into. Naughty girls.
That win by the way, means that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, has to wear a Team Canada jersey the next time meets with reporters off-camera in his office.
Like WTF man, the wager should have been he wears a Team Canada jersey in one of his daily press conferences, and with cameras rolling.
Canada’s eight gold medals is the most they have ever won in an Olympic Winter Games. Bravo, but for $120-million, $117-million, whatever the amount of taxpayers money and private funds was spent on this years Olympians, Canadians should have gotten bigger bang for their buck.
The number of medals Canada is going to walk away with in these games doesn’t justify the amount of taxpayer’s money spent on them, and I really think its high time Corporate Canada put some bigger bucks into Canada’s Olympic program.
I’m thinking it’s about f***ing time Corporate Canada started financially propping up quite a few Canadian programs, especially when it comes to social issues, you know starving kids, protecting children, things like that.
Corporate Canada starts doing that, and then yeah, maybe the taxman should consider cutting them some slack.
FYI-Women are responsible for winning most of Canada’s medals. How about 37-year-old speed skater Clara Hughes bronze medal win. What a way for her to bow out of Olympic competition.
That’s another story for somebody else to pick up on and debate though, not me.
With eight gold medals in total, Canada is now tied with the U.S. and Norway on that front, third overall in total medals. That’s not bad, but they are still eight medals short of the 24 they won at Torino.
The two Canadian entries in the women’s bobsled won medals. Canada1 picked up a gold medal and Canada2 picked up the bronze. In the 3000-meter short track speed skating relay, the Canadian women’s team picked up silver after South Korea was disqualified.
Andrew “Boner” Koenig, who has been missing for the duration of the 21st Olympic Winter Games, was found dead Thursday afternoon in Stanley Park. He committed suicide. Koenig had been missing for 11 days. His body was found by friends
American bobsledder Bill Schuffenhauer was detained by police and later released, something to do with an argument he had with his fiancée, Ruthann Savage, who if my hunch is right, won’t be walking down the aisle now.
Crooked in Canada is thinking the fiancée might have had a something to do with Schuffenhauer being arrested in the first place, that out of spite, she called the cops on him.
He wasn’t arrested, nor was he charged with any crime, and if it turns out I’m right about his fiancée, the smart thing for Schuffenhauer to do would be to kick the bitch to the kerb.
LMFAO-You know, the South Koreans are sore losers; the hate they have for U.S. speed skater Apolo Ono one example of their sore losing ways.
Here’s another example for you; South Korean police have arrested a man for threatening to blow up the Australian Embassy in Seoul because an Australian referee disqualified the South Korean team in the women’s 3000-meter relay, the race in which as I said earlier, Canada won the silver medal. His threat was sent via text message.
I had no idea that South Koreans were so f***ed in the head. No wonder Kim Jong-Il hasn’t any use for them.
Gee, the Great One’s wife, Janet Jones, hasn’t aged well. I caught a glimpse of her high-fiving Prime Minister Stephen Harper after Canada won hockey gold. One would think that with her husband being cashed up as he is, if she hasn’t gambled most of it away of course, you would think she could afford to tweak that face of hers from time to time.
Did you know that cross-country skier Brian McKeever of Canmore, Alberta will be the first winter sports athlete to compete in both the Paralympics and Olympics? McKeever will race this Sunday in the 50-kilometer race, something his brother Robin did in Nagano, Japan a dozen years ago.
McKeever first competed in the Paralympics in 2002 and with his brother Robin as his guide, the pair has won 7 medals so far, four of them gold.
McKeever is visually impaired. He has Stargardt’s disease, or as he calls it, “flashbulb eye”–the blur that appears in the center of your field of vision after a camera goes off.
How about Joannie Rochette, and her bronze medal win. When I first heard she was going to continue chasing her Olympic dream, after her mother died suddenly, I wasn’t up for that. I just didn’t think it was a good idea, that she couldn’t handle the pressure.
She proved me wrong. She did good. She has shown the world what a true champion is made of.
Energize an event and create some buzz withcustom made temporary tattoos for adults who want to act like kids at sporting events or where ever–500 tatts for less than $US69.
The killer of 8-year-old Trinity has been arrested. He is nineteen-year-old Allyn John Slater and at the time of the murder, he was a family friend of the little girl’s father. I called it right when I said it was either one of her parents or a family friend.
Slater is just one more reason to add to a long list of reasons why I think it is time for countries like Australia and Canada to consider re-employing the hangman.
Facebook vigilantes are gunning for the killer, who by the way and if anybody is wondering, did not sexually assault his victim.
Queensland police are monitoring a group in Facebook that was set up to vilify the man, who has had to be moved out of Bundaberg out of fear for his safety. Can you say lynching mob, which by the way, I don’t have a problem with either.
Within hours of Slater’s court appearance (he did not enter a plea), more than 300 people (not me though) joined a Facebook group to express anger and hate towards the killer. Twenty people gathered outside the courthouse shouted obscenities at him.
Police are also investigating four people who for whatever f***ed up reason, posted pornographic and sexually explicit material on a tribute website for Trinity.
?
What does anybody want to bet that the story Emelda Marie Cuddy had her lawyers tell for her in a Winnipeg court was meant to manipulate immigration authorities into feeling sorry for her. Surely immigration authorities have to been thinking about stripping her of her Canadian citizenship and sending her back to Belize when she finishes serving her four and half year prison sentence.
I don’t know, I wasn’t there, but the fact is the 26-year-old immigrant broke the law and gun to her head or not, she pulled off six hold-ups in which several people would have been terrified.
Nope, the sob story she had her lawyers and her boyfriend tell for her in court doesn’t convince me that, she should be allowed to remain in Canada once she has finished her prison sentence.
Nobody forced her to hook up with “the wrong crowd” in a bar. It was her call to make and she made it. Nobody was holding a gun to her head when she threatened to kill a pregnant bank teller if she didn’t do as she was told either. And it isn’t as if she didn’t know better after living in Canada for “many years”.
If somebody put a gun to her head and told her to rob banks, she should have gone to police, and she could have.
Then there are the drugs–did somebody put a gun to her head and force her to do that too? Not f***ing likely.
When she is finished serving her sentence, immigration officials would be well within the law to strip this woman of her Canadian citizenship and ship her back to Belize, right? Maybe my friends in the legal department at Simon Fraser University would like to make a comment about that, let me know if I’m right about that.
Despite being armed with more than just a couple of the best snipers in the National Hockey League, Team Canada gave the Russians a lesson in how to play ice hockey, beating the f***ing out of them by a score of 8-3.
The game was over halfway through the second period, and all the Russians could do was try to make themselves look a little more respectable on the scoreboard.
That didn’t happen, and now the Canadians are moving on to play the winner between Sweden and Slovakia, either of whom will put a much better fight then the Russians did in their sudden death game. F***, the looked pathetic, and they made Wayne Gretzky, he who predicted a Canada-Russia gold medal game, look like a The Dumb One instead of The Great One.
Also on the ice today was the Canadian women’s short track relay team, who after the Koreans were disqualified for fouling China with only a few laps to go, were bumped up from a bronze medal finish to a silver medal one. The Koreans aren’t happy about that, but China definitely is, after picking up their first gold medal ever in this particular speed skating event. The U.S. scored a bronze.
Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer, no relation to Cosmo of Seinfeld, has had a bad day at the track and he owes it all to his coach. After skating 10,000-meters in what would have been record time, he was disqualified for not changing lanes while coming out of a turn two-thirds through the race.
The thing is though, Kramer did make the change but his coach missed it, motioning Kramer to change lanes again–which he reluctantly did. It was been described as kooky, but very costly mistake for Kramer who has won the last 3 world championships at 5000 and 10000 meters. He also holds the world record in both distances. He has one gold medal for his recording setting skate in this Olympics 5000-meters.
Sucks to be Kramer, and what do you want to bet his coach is history.
With the sharpest and quickest goaltender the Canadian men’s hockey team can put in goal, Roberto Luongo, Team Canada tore apart the Germans and now faces Russia in a quarterfinal game. Shout out to Mike Babcock, “The smart thing for you to do mate is to make sure Luongo starts that game too.” The U.S. defeated Switzerland 2-0 on goals by Zach Parise to send the U.S into the final four.
Crooked in Canada thinks that this will be the last international ice hockey event that, Mike Babcock will be behind the Team Canada bench, as it should be. He should have never started Martin Brodeur, an opinion to which many “hockey experts” concur. He f***ed up big time. There is no doubt in my mind that he didn’t have a say that was going to start in Canada’s 8-2 thumping of Germany.
After two heats in the women’s bobsled, Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyes are on fire; setting and then breaking their own track and start records. The Canadian duo finished 13-one-hundredths of a second faster than the Americans, and four-tenth of a second ahead of the Germans. Canada 2 sledders, Helen Upperton and Shelly-Ann Brown sit in fourth, 42-one-hundredths of a second of the pace. I see a two medal finish for the Canadians in this event.
WTF is wrong with Norway’s Ole Kristian, and will he be booted from the hockey rink for what he did Lubos Bartecko, the unsuspecting Slovakian who was blindsided by an cheap shot from Kristian. That motherf***er should be booted from the competition.
There’s no crying in ski cross. Boohoof***inghoo Jenny Owens. It sucks to be you. The 31-year-old American finished 13th in the race Ashleigh McIvor claimed gold in, and after her poor showing, she turned on the water works, knowing full well the cameras were on her. What a f***ing performance she put on, but you know what, crying will get her nowhere. Then again, maybe she was looking to score an endorsement deal with Kleenex. What a f***ing sookie baby.
Ashleigh McIvor won Canada’s sixth gold medal in ski cross. She won in near whiteout conditions on Cypress Mountain, and she made Olympic history. Before now, women’s ski-cross wasn’t a medal event.
Two days after her mother suffered a massive heart attack; a grieving Joannie Rochette scored a personal best for her sexy and sultry tango in the women’s figure skating short program. The six-time Canadian champion skated her heart out and collapsed in tears when she finished.
Crooked in Canada predicts that our Olympians are going to finish fourth overall as far as the medal count goes. Currently they sit in fourth on the ladder with 11 medals, six behind Norway. The U.S. in case anybody cares, sits atop of the ladder with 26 medals, including one more gold medal than Canada. Call me stupid, but I actually think Canada is going to win more gold medals than the Americans do, and no, I haven’t smoked any dope asshole.
World champion pole dancer Mai Sato spends five hours a day, five days a week honing her craft. She is as dedicated to pole dancing as Olympians are to their sport, and now she thinks it is high time pole dancing was an Olympic sport. Yeah, and lets include lap dancing too.
Table tennis is an Olympic sport, so yeah, why not. I’d go to a strip club in the Olympic host city to watch the event, wouldn’t you?
U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir will be joining Australia’s Channel 9’s broadcast team in Vancouver. He will be sharing his views on Games fashion and figure skating. What makes this story interesting is the fact that Weir will be partnering with the man who made some off-colour and tasteless jokes at the figure skater’s expense. Crooked in Canada still hasn’t been able to figure out why people here in Oz were so offended by the jokes.
Australian gold medalist, snowboarder Torah Bright, is getting her own stamp to commemorate her victory in the halfpipe. With all due respect to Mormon women, she’s a hot looking chick that a lot of young Aussie snowboarders who until now, could only fantasize about licking her.
Silver medalist Jennifer Heil is giving $25-thousand to Because I Am A Girl, a foundation that helps girls in poverty-stricken countries. Gold medalist Alexandre Bilodeau is giving $25-thousand to the Canadian Association of Paediatric Health Centres for Cerebral Palsy Research. Like how cool are these two Canadians?
Russia’s gold medal winning women’s biathlon relay team says the secret to their success is giving birth; something about pushing out babies calming them down for what I am assuming is a very nerve-racking and frustrating sport. Olga Zaitseva, the anchor of the team, has told her rivals to get knocked up if they want to win gold in Russia four years from now. Aah yeah, that sounds like a plan for the silver and bronze medal winners from France and Germany.
Pleasant surprise: Canada vs. Russia televised here Down Under, gotta run–Getzlaf just scored for Canada.
I attended to high schools-one in Uxbridge, Ontario and the other in Welland, Ontario, and not once did my teachers ever put on a racy performance for the students. I would have loved to see my English teacher Ms. Hanes, put on a bit of a sexually charged show.
F*** man, she was the hottest teacher at Welland High and Vocational School, and yeah man, if I could have, I would have jumped that in a heartbeat.
Yep, there was even a lap dance, but neither of them removed any of their clothes, and now a school trustee is suggesting that they be fired. You know what though, I don’t think they should be fired, and to be perfectly honest (lol), I don’t see what they did as being terribly wrong.
Sure, Churchill High School is an inappropriate venue for a lap dance, but come on now, high school kids these days seeracier things then what these two teachers got up to, right. Jesus, some of the high school students that witnessed the sexually provocative act are more than just a little capable of putting on a better show for the teachers involved.
I don’t think the teachers should be fired, that’s all I’m saying. It’s not as if “she” stripped down to her thong and push up, and he down to his briefs, whereupon she straddled him and grinded her thighs a little. He straddled her; she slapped his ass, his hips bounced to the beat of the music. What’s the big f***ing deal, that part where he dips his head down between her legs and simulates oral sex? Come on, lighten up, it was all in fun.
Its f***ing high school, not kindergarten or middle school. By the way “Babs” (he’s the school trustee that wants the teachers fired) when was the last time you paid for a lap dance, or are you above that? Babs is just pissed that it wasn’t him giving the female teacher (maybe he prefers men–who the f*** knows) the lap dance.
The teachers have since been told not to return to their classes.
As much fun as I have had pushing your buttons with this post, it was wrong for the teachers to do this, and yeah, they should lose their jobs.
Good f***ing call, but what does anybody want to bet that naming Roberto Luongo as starting goaltender in Canada’s sudden death hockey game against Germany, wasn’t made by that moron behind the team’s bench, Mike Babcock?
Crooked in Canada believes without a doubt, that Steve Yzerman told Mike Babcock in no uncertain terms that, the Vancouver Canuck would be starting in place of Martin Brodeur, the second biggest reason why Canada was unable to coast into the quarter-final round in the first place. The game will be played on Tuesday night.
The women’s team on the other hand, is headed to the gold medal game against the U.S., thanks to their win over the Finns. It will be the third consecutive gold medal final for the Canadian team. Thinking that this is going to be one hell of a game, but one the Canadians are going to win. I hope that the game will be televised here in Australia on one of the free-to-air channels. Come on Channel 9–do Crooked in Canada a favor.
More controversy has been stirred up at the Winter Games, only this time it has to do with this:
I fail to see what is controversial about this
You know who is stirring the pot, perpetuating the “controversy theme” at the 21st Olympic Winter Games, the f***ing Poms that’s who.
The UK media has filled a lot of pages in their rags whinging about how terrible these Winter Games are turning out.
I hope for their sake, the show they are putting on in 2012, works out for them–though somehow I doubt the Summer Games they put are going to be all that. In other words, I’m thinking Olympians and spectators are going to suffer through and deal with more bullshit at the games in the UK. We’ll see what happens.
If you haven’t heard already, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have won another gold medal for Canada, this one in ice dancing.
Who “owns the podium” Canada? The Australians? Monaco? The UK? Iran? Give up? Canada now has five gold medals to go with four silver and one bronze–24 medals off the mark the Canadian Olympic Committee set for them. F***ing idiots–the COC I mean.
Did you know that Canada’s loss to the U.S. in hockey was the most-watched televised sporting event in Canadian TV history? One-third of the population watched Martin Brodeur and Mike Babcock f*** up. 8.2-million watched the game on TV in the U.S. It was broadcast on MSNBC and it tied Election Night 2008 as the most-watched event on that network.
Kevin Martin’s rink has eight wins against zero losses at the curling rink, but that stat won’t mean shit in the medal rounds, so I wouldn’t say the gold medal is in the bag yet. Sure, they finished top of the ladder and have clinched a spot in the semi-finals. They play China next, a “gimme game” for the Canucks I’m thinking. By the way, China humiliated the U.S. 11-5.
Buzz Lightyear, I mean Aldrin, like what a f***ing smartass. Canada doesn’t need to be number one…Like WTF is talking about; we are already number one in a lot to things as far as the U.S. is concerned. Though the hockey game played this past Sunday night doesn’t back me up, we are better at hockey–I mean just look at how many Canadians fill NHL rosters south of the border. We make better beer. Our healthcare system, as dismal as a lot of people make it out to be, is better, at least when it comes to healthcare coverage. Better resorts, less crime, nobody walking around the streets of Vancouver, guns under their parkas, blah, blah, blah…There are a lot of things and reasons why Canada is number one when it comes to comparing it to the holier-than-thou Americans south of the border, right? They think their shit doesn’t stink, but thanks to President Barack Obama’s apology in Europe last year, the world not just Canada, knows better.
As for the second man to walk on the man, he’s a f***ing moron–somebody looking to draw a little attention to himself. His book Magnificent Desolation, about his struggle with alcoholism and depression must not be fairing well. His comments about Canada not needing to be number one is something a spaced out dope smoker would find insightful. I think he might have fallen off the wagon. What a knob.
Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or TRC as it referred to most of the time, like WTF is up with that.
I doubt there is a Canadian my age that doesn’t know at least a little bit of the story about what went down at aboriginal residential schools and the terrible, terrible abuse they suffered at the hands of those running the schools.
I’m sure there a lot of Canadians who feel awful for what happened to the students, but come on now, spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to conclude what, that forgiveness is not in the cards for the victims, and to record history? Like get f***ing real already.
Why is the TRC even bothering to wonder why that is, is it because they are expecting the victims to forgive their abusers because they were paid a shit load of money in compensation, most of which their lawyers pocketed?
The last thing I would expect is for the victims to forgive anybody who abused them, or was complicit in their abuse, and for the feds to set up some donkey-f***ing-kong commission to help the victims get over it, is not only a waste of millions of dollars, but arrogant too.
150,000 First Nation, Inuit and Metis children were forced to attend government run schools for most of the last century, and in those schools was rampant sexual and physical abuse.
I don’t have a problem with getting help for the survivors, but the federal government should stay the f*** out of it, after all it was the federal government who put the victims/survivors at risk in the first place. The last thing I think anybody who was abused in those schools is going to do is forgive their abusers, and never mind forgiving the federal government.
For a “special commission” to be researching that particular issue is total f***ing nonsense, a slap in the face to the victims really, an insult and demeaning. Don’t ask me to explain what I mean, I just think it isn’t right, that it is wrong to keep putting the survivors through this shit.
Let them move on with their lives at their own pace and without interference from do-gooders who have no f***ing idea what it is they should, or are supposed to be doing to help the survivors.
I think all this commission is achieving is, making the victims live through their ordeal, over and over and over again. Like WTF man.
How many times do surivors have to tell their story before they are allowed to move on with their lives, and in some cases, seek help when it comes to coping with the lingering trauma and heartbreak they have been living with for many, many years now. Furthermore, how many times must the TRC hear the same stories before they get over it, and move on to something more productive than charting history?
The TRC should be shut down, and the money being spent on it, $60-million I believe, spent on something more productive when it comes to getting proper care and treatment for the victims/survivors, instead of documenting history as those on the commission like to describe what they are doing.
You know what would be the smart thing to do with that $60-million, building a retreat, a place where survivors can go to seek solace among their peers. A place where they can help each other.
Maybe somebody is already building such a place, or, one already exists.
We know he murdered his 10-year-old daughter, Kaitlynne and his two sons Max, 8, and Gordon, 5, two years ago, right. And it is widely believed that he killed his common-law wife’s children out of spite in what was a bitter separation.
So how long has this trial dragged on for now, and WHAT THE F*** IS UP WITH JUSTICE ROBERT POWERS, why is it taking him so long to reach his verdict?
I’m sorry your honour, but from the evidence that was presented in the courtroom, at least the way the media was telling it anyway, this f***ing Schoenborn wasn’t as mentally unfit as he pretended to be during his trial. He knew exactly what he was doing when he smothered and stabbed his three children to get back at his wife. SO WHAT’S THE F***ING PROBLEM YOU HONOUR?
I don’t buy that bullshit that he killed them because he thought they were being abused by his ex’s new partner, or whatever the f*** the story is there, and that their death would somehow make their lives better, or whatever f***ing bullshit Schoenborn was spewing to justify the killings.
Allan Schoenborn is playing a game to avoid spending the rest of his life in jail. He killed his children in cold-blood, and he knew exactly why he was doing it.
Justice Powers will look an idiot if he buys into the defense’s argument that this evil, vile piece of shit was mentally ill when he murdered his children, and Crooked in Canada will be wonder how mentally fit he is for the bench too.
As far as I’m concerned, anybody who murders somebody out of revenge is mentally ill and a revenge killer, which is exactly what Schoenborn is, shouldn’t be allowed to play the mental illness card when they are charged with pre-meditated murder, ever.
Today is Schoenborn’s lucky day. He isn’t going to spend in the rest of his life behind bars.
Before I could even publish what I had written up to this point, I have learned that Judge Powers has decided that the child killer is not criminally responsible for his crime.
Like WTF is wrong with you your honour, did you smoke a lot of drugs in uni, or did you sniff a lot of gasoline?
In what is probably the biggest breakdown of justice in the history of British Columbia, Allan Schoenborn, despite evidence that he meant to murder his three children out of spite for his ex-partner, has been found not criminally responsible for causing the death of Kaitlynne, Max, and Cordon.
How f***ing crazy is that, and what does that say about how “mental” this particular Supreme Court judge is?
Supreme Court Justice Robert Powers, YOU ARE A PATHETIC, AND KARMA IS GOING TO GET YOU MATE.
This is a horrible miscarriage of justice, and Crooked in Canada hopes that the Crown appeals the verdict. While that is going on, I’ll cross my fingers and hope some nut job in whatever mental institution they lock Schoenborn in, snuffs his miserable f***ing life out.
Schoenborn, as have many who have successfully used Canada’s Not Criminally Responsible law to defend themselves against murder charges, could be walking the streets of Merritt, British Columbia within a couple of years. All he has to do is pull off in the mental institution what he has managed to pull off in the courtroom, fool people into believing he is somebody he isn’t.
