First it was the "Government of Canada." Then it was "Canada's New Government." Now it's the "Harper Government."
Public servants from four different departments have confirmed to The Canadian Press that they received a directive late last year that the words "Government of Canada" in federal communications be replaced with "Harper Government."
I am a Canadian: The new version...
I AM CANADIAN
I am in the minority in Calgary ,
Vancouver , Toronto
and every casino in this country..
I was born in the forties, fifties or
sixties, yet I am somehow responsible for some First Nations people
being screwed out of their land in the 1700's!
I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario
I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but
not allowed to drive without a seat belt.
All the money I make until mid July must
go to paying taxes..
I live and work among people who believe
Americans are Ignorant....
These same people cannot name their own country's new territory.
Although I am sometimes forced to live
on hamburgers and don't have a pot to piss in,
I sleep well knowing that my taxes
helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee.
Although they are unpatriotic and
constantly try to separate...
Quebec still provides most of my
nation's prime ministers..
95% of my nation's international
conflicts are over fish.
I'm supposed to call black people
African Canadians,
although I'm sure none of them have ever
been to Africa for that matter.
I am being told that paying a 200% tax
on alcohol is fair.
I am also being told that the same tax
on gasoline is also fair.
Even if I have no idea what happened to
that old rifle myGrandfather gave me when I was 14, I
will be considered a criminal if I don't register it.
I am being told that spending $15 billion to promote the French
language in the rest of Canada is fair when the province of
Quebec doesn't support or even recognize the ENGLISH language.
I am being told that paying $1million for 3 Stripes
('The Voice of Fire' painting in Ottawa)
by the National Art Gallery was a good
purchase, even though 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever
see it.
When I look at my pension and realize
that I take home a third of what I actually make, I say
'Oh well, at least we have better health
care than the U.S.A..'
I must bail out big corporations who
drive their business into the ground and say,
'yeah that's ok.'
And When they move all their manufacturing
plants and jobs to a third world country and say,
'no problem.'
My National Anthem has versions in both official languages.
Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest Military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing terrorists.
The Lord's prayer is not allowed in our schools anymore because of other religions who chose to move here.
I am an angry white person.
I am one pissed off taxpayer, who is broke
.... I am Canadian !!!

Building Ford Nation
For months, members of Ford’s former campaign staff have been quietly drawing up plans to form a right-wing advocacy group. The intention is to monetize and organize this huge ideological voting base, essentially forming a quasi Tea Party North.
It would means millions of dollars for the conservative movement, high-profile publicity for Tory-friendly issues and an energized right-wing base.
“But it won’t be called Ford Nation. It’s going to be an advocacy group for the taxpayers of Toronto. It will be something like: Respect for Taxpayers Action Group,” said Nick Kouvalis, the mayor’s former chief of staff and deputy campaign manager.

Anyway, this is what it's 'really like' in Canada in some people's angry little brains. The numbers and factoids are pretty much shit, btw.I am a Canadian: The new version...
