Actually, the Walrus wasn’t speaking to the Carpenter at this point, but to “all the little Oysters who stood and waited in a row”. Alright, already, we know what happened to all the little Oysters. They got eaten by the Walrus and the Carpenter. The Walrus and Carpenter were bigger; too big to fail. And too fast talking for all the little Oysters to actually divine the intentions of the Walrus and the Carpenter, until it was too late (notice how fast Kevin Falcon and Christy Clark both speak). I think we Canadians may be somewhat akin to the poor little Oysters in Carroll’s poem who “hurried up, all eager for the treat; their coats were brushed, their faces washed, their shoes were clean and neat...And this was odd, because you know, they hadn’t any feet.”
Or brains, either. But that’s the difference. We have both brains and feet. However, right now it is Stephen Harper who speaks in deadened, measured tones to all us little Oysters standing up in a row waiting to be eaten. By what? I could say Fascism because Harper certainly shows major tendencies to concentrate power under one rule, his rule. Yet it’s not the same. Hitler, regardless of whatever else he was about, was driven by hatred of the Jews. Harper is not. In fact, he sees Israel as being pivotal in bringing on the Battle of Armageddon which in turn will bring on the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
Harper, in my opinion, is more driven by hated of people he sees as sinners, that is; gays, women who want / need abortions, addicts, poor people (if they weren’t sinners they wouldn’t be poor) children of poor people, environmentalists, artistic people, learned people (evolutionists-godless) petty criminals, (big time, well connection criminals can be forgiven) poor old people; the list is endless. Harper puts his money (our money) where his religious beliefs are. And what is really scary about this scenario is that Harper actually has much in common with the Muslims in his utter literal belief in written religious scriptures that breed the same type of fanaticism. And, I might add, disdain for women. Harper knows his religious beliefs are not shared by most Canadians which is why he never talks about his religious beliefs.
But we are not little Oysters after all. We know Harper will appoint judges within the next four years who will give him and his fundamentalist religious values a majority on our Supreme Court of Canada bench. The time has come for women to organize. A women’s union, or an outright women’s party. Not one necessarily to run against the NDP or the Greens, but one composed of women who are angry at what is happening to our children, our parents, our country, to our land itself and who are not afraid to show our anger. With a Harper majority and the BC Liberals still holding sway in BC there is no political centre any longer.
They themselves have polarized us.
We need a women’s party to protest the industrial use of hormones to maximize profits for corporations. Artificial hormones interfere with human reproduction and causes cancer. We need a women’s party to raise hell over genetically modified foods not being labeled. We need a women’s party with the clout to force our governments to give us reliable data on how much nuclear radiation from Japan is here, now, in BC, and to plan for the shutdown of all nuclear plants in Canada. We need a women’s party that will shame the governments of Canada mercilessly over the cost of college education, child poverty, and deforestation, subsides to oil companies, the privatization of health care, prison systems, and transportation
systems. Yes, the time has come. Any woman interested in coming together and contemplating such a group for discussion and action can email me:

There is no doubt Harper is a monster. Believe you me, We will live in a Nazi like fascist, dictatorship regime. Don't be surprised if the internet isn't monitored either. Dictators are control freaks, because they have to be.
ReplyDeleteHitler and Stalin murdered millions of people they thought, were against them. They need to control the masses. They are paranoid for their own lives, because they are so despised.
The American people, absolutely hate Harper. They say, the U.S. was just waiting for Harper's majority, so they can move ahead with the N.A.U. The American citizens even said, Harper's election win was rigged. That I can believe, because, over half of the Canadian people did not want Harper as P.M..
The U.S. people also say,The Federal Reserve Bank is forcing the merger of, Canada the U.S. and Mexico, into the North American Union. Our new currency will be the Amero dollar.
I don't know about all of that. But, I do know this country is in a lot of trouble, with Harper at the helm.
