Hats off to the real world

Hats off to the real world, eh?

It seems as if not many pundits actually live in it.

CBC: Canada is waking up to China's quest for a 'new world order', says Japanese observer
  • 'We and China have very different values and we need to keep this in mind' 
  • "China is not a democratic country. China is an authoritarian system. So we always need to pay close attention."

Why do the Canadian news media so often prop up insular political scientists to assist them in passing public judgement on other nations as if they had a real clue about the world outside of academia?  Look at this baby prof whose ego has been stroked into crooning what the CBC wants to hear and present to Canadians -- despite the fact that:
  • For the last several years, Junya Nishino's research has been focused on his country's relationship with South and North Korea.

I enjoy glancing through the comments from CBC readers because it gives a sense of just how much trouble we're really in ourselves.

Here's one (Matt Roberts) who recommends we all read a book that totally says everything it really has to say in the title:
  • If you want to understand the extent of the Chinese infiltration of Canada’s politics, economy, business, and educational institutions, you should read The Claws of the Panda, by Victoria writer and foreign correspondent Jonathan Manthorpe.

Here's a more positive view: (Elias Leousis)
  • China has become a world power not by exploiting others but through discipline, hard work, and EDUCATION [... ] Although I don't favor communism over our Canadian dimocracy (sic), I can understand its history where many nations from the West exploited and subjugated the Chinese people for years, as did Americans of Cuba.

Old Chinese proverb:  “If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.”

When is the West going to admit it's WE who are ruled by power seekers calling themselves "public servants"?

So, China is "authoritarian" and we're democratic, eh?  I doubt very much that the Chinese whose families have been here since practically day one have wonderful memories of "democratic" Canada.  Thankfully, nobody now comes here from China to be worked to death on a railroad; they have much higher skills to offer, putting many Canadians to shame.

(I'm personally not crazy about the Hong Kong entrepreneurs who come here just to buy up real estate and then just let it sit empty while it appreciates, but let's face it, they are not really from China or they wouldn't be fighting so hard against it.)

And this is regardless of the fact that China is ruled by a "dictator" under whose oversight the vast majority of Chinese have done very well for themselves, and are therefore not complaining.

Looking at the history of Chinese leadership, a statement about former Premier Zhu Rongji goes like this:
  • He is known as a tough administrator particularly in reference to the eradication  of corruption from government offices. He was therefore a popular leader among the masses.

Canada could use some of that.  Not even our Monarchy can boast a clean, or even completely dignified slate.  

Here's a guy who wants to see the hind end of the British monarchy:

Newsweek: Meet the Man Who Wants to Bring Down the British Monarchy

He describes the royal family as "nepotistic, corrupt and undemocratic".

And I don't even have to provide links to the adventures of Andrew, let alone the absconded royal couple who, no matter how indicative they are of the complete and utter disintegration of the royal family, will still have their hineys kissed everywhere they travel in Canada.

(People seem to want to grovel before pseudo-superior humans while still touting their freedom and equality.  Go figure.)

Things have gone so far downhill with the Monarchy that whole websites have been marshalled to whitewash its image:

CrownChronicles: 8 reasons constitutional monarchy is the best form of government

How can Canadians possibly sneer at China's "dictatorship" when they are obliged to bow and curtsy to a propped-up Monarchy?  All one has to do is look at the atrocious hats the royal female family members are obliged to wear to know that insanity lurks in the palace.

I know I've said this before, but my mind is simply boggled by the utter absurdity of which they don't seem to be aware:

EOnline: The Royal Family Guide to Wearing Hats

First off, it's the royal family FEMALE guide to wearing hats (and gloves). And that should tell you something right there about dictatorship. The monarchy is a mindless throwback to the 50's!  But we bow and scrape before them anyway, right?  Why? Because our grade schools drummed it into our heads that they were leadership examples for us plebes, right?

I vividly recall my grade 5 class being taken to City Hall to see a film about the royal family which raved about how Queen Mary in her 70's, was still able to thread her own embroidery needle.

Ooooooooh! Only a real queen could do something that amazing! It strikes me as possible that those words may have stuck in my noggin for a good reason.

Chinapower: Do women in China face greater inequality than women elsewhere?
  • China’s constitution guarantees women “equal rights with men in all spheres of life,” and over the last several decades, women in China have enjoyed some notable gains.

The phrase "some notable gains" can equally be applied to US, UK and Canadian governments, whose political leaders have traditionally been preponderantly male.

Take a look at this:

Worldbank: Proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments (%) 2019

Scroll down the list to China (25), and then compare it with Canada (27) and United States (24).  And let us remember that Trudeau made a show of inclusiveness, though at least two females quit the show due to a decided lack of respect.

Listen, if you really need something to tsk, tsk about, read what Canada's "democracy" did to the Chinese immigrants who built our railroads:

SFU.ca: A Brief Chronology of Chinese Canadian History
  •  Over 200 years ago, the first Chinese landed on the western coast of Canada. Initially Chinese immigrants were segregated physically, socially and culturally from Canadian society. 

Now check out 1881 when "white" workers turned down the job of helping to build Canada's railway system so occupied were they in trying to strike it rich in gold mining, while the Chinese were ready to take on any labour that would help them (most of them) survive.

Next time you travel by train, think of the "hundreds of Chinese railway workers [who] died due to accidents, winter cold, illness and malnutrition" to whom we owe a great deal of the credit.

Then check out 1885 to see how our liberal society thanked the Chinese immigrants by imposing a burdensome head tax to discourage more of them from arriving here.

So that's what we "free"and "god fearing" people did when the Chinese tried to escape an oppressive government. And now that China is outstripping Western advancements in industry, we sneer and call it a dictatorship.  Well, judging by our own standards and actions, by now we should know what dictatorship is.

We have to stand in long lineups to pay money for our privileges such as owning/driving a vehicle in which to get to work. We are heavily taxed on the grocery and clothing items we buy. There are cameras trained on us in shops and apartment buildings, and Statistics Canada can knock on your door at any time to demand that you divulge all of the personal details of your life -- under threat of imposed jail time:

Wikipedia re Canada's Statistics Act: 
  • Citizens who refuse to participate in providing information, or who provide false information, have committed an offence under the Act[1] under c. S-19:
  • ...are liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or/and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months.

There are countless ways in which our government runs roughshod over us, all the while calling itself "Liberal" and "democratic".  So, enough with the sneers about China, which are nothing but an indication of the deterioration of Western society.

It's now a given that American "democracy" has failed, despite all of its flag waving and its bombastic leadership:

Guardian: Decline and fall: how American society unravelled

Good grief, when even the Guardian gets it right about America, can Canada be far behind?  If Trudeau does one good thing in his second term of office, let it be to show the world how leaders can treat one another  -- at all times -- with respect instead of fake smiles or haughty superiority (and that doesn't necessitate showing off by wearing their ceremonial clothing, Justin).

With bozo Boris at the helm, the UK certainly needs the distraction of America's folly:

Guardian: No 10 refuses to comment on PM's views of racial IQ 
  • Boris Johnson’s spokesman has refused to say whether the prime minister thinks black people have lower IQs on average, or agrees with eugenics, after No 10 hired an adviser with highly controversial views.
  • In a tense briefing with the media, the prime minister’s deputy official spokesman declined several times to distance Johnson from the views of his adviser, Andrew Sabisky, who has suggested “enforced contraception” be used to prevent the creation of a “permanent underclass”.

This is pretty disgusting, and if it continues, the UK will be the American south all over again with a different accent.

Yet some will still want to sneer at the Chinese "dictatorship", if only for distraction from their own predicament.

Hmmm ... dimocracy. That must be when democracy is fading to black. Sounds about right.

Hi Yaya

I like the dimocracy comment from rocknest as well- and caught it in the original comment from your post-

"When is the West going to admit it's WE who are ruled by power seekers calling themselves "public servants"?"

That will happen when the masses wake up to that reality rather then being lulled by the media's song.

My Grandma quilted into her 80's. Well into her 80's. By hand- The royals got nothing on her!

Yeah, Penny; and what your Grandma did was USEFUL, not just pretty.

I just now got back from grocery shopping and am still wondering how I survived. An old guy turned a corner very sharply and quickly when I was two-thirds across the road. He stopped maybe 3 feet away from me with a loud screech of brakes and my cart tipped over as I tried to get out of his way. I'm laughing like crazy as I write this because it was so bizarre. He said "I'm sorry. I was watching the traffic and didn't see you." I told him quite emphatically, like a mother, that he SHOULD be sorry. I wanted to say he shouldn't be driving at all at his age, but then I remembered the Queen, and I've been laughing ever since. Maybe I'm just in shock. LOL
