YAYACANADA'S SUNDAY REPORT No. 41 (permalink)

Britain's All Trussed Up Now

Politico: How Truss Did It

• Truss, the U.K. foreign secretary, who had variously been branded “stiff as whisked egg white,” as sounding like a superannuated 1980s Amstrad computer, and written off as “everyone’s preferred comedy candidate” after a disastrous first TV outing on Channel 4 just 10 days before, was listening hard to her advisers. She knew something had to change — and fast.

Gee, for a minute there I thought they were talking about ... Bozo? ... I've already forgotten his real name. Bore-us, yeah, that's it.

• That evening, she was a woman transformed — calm and steely in the face of a shouty and visibly overexcited Sunak, who knew he desperately needed a game-changer moment after polling of Tory members showed Truss was by far the preferred candidate.

So now "stiff as whisked egg white" has morphed into "calm and steely". There's a difference? Do I care?  The poor Brits -- if only there were a "T" on the end of her name!

RT: Wikipedia locks Liz Truss’ page after prank

• Pictures of new British PM swapped for photos of celebrities 

Wikipedia cites “persistent vandalism”. Seems some folks aren't taking Ms Liz any more seriously than they took Bore-us.

Oh no.  There's more!

Bore-us in Drag?

I don't know if "drag" is an offensive thing to say these days, or not, but Lizzy put the Coffey on and if readers don't have an opinion on this, it's too late anyway. (Imagine a headline that says only what Coffey is against!):

PinkNews: New deputy PM Thérèse Coffey is against same-sex marriage and dislikes abortion

This is her claim to fame?  First of all, "marriage" these days is not a life commitment, it's a fancy dress ball where so-called lovers shmush cake into each other's faces -- a latent hostile act if ever I've seen one. Holy Matrimony, Batman!  It doesn't really exist, so it doesn't matter how many genders put on a show like that. They'll know for sure if they're lovers once they have to face real life as "one".  

Coffey has never been married, so she hasn't a clue about it. Nor, presumably, has she ever been faced with having to make a personal decision about an unexpected pregnancy. As one who did experience it, during disappointing matrimony, but who was ultimately very glad to have opted for life, I'm in the know about the quandary -- and Coffey knows zilch.

Who does like abortion? Certainly not the frightened, grieving women who resort to it! But like too many religious people, Coffey wants to criminalize it.  And that is criminal of her.

Hey, I'm against gross obesity (does she really think that hanging a large rag around her neck distracts from her massive girth?) so what does that make me?  Did Coffey even wonder if she might be an extremely bad example for a so-called "health" minister?  Physician, heal thyself!

And Britain, heal thyself!  You're in the deepest of the deep end now.

Message to Trudeau and Freeland:

HuffPost: Joe Biden Responds To Hecklers Like A President Should During Speech

• "Now THAT is how it’s done," one supporter wrote of the president's answer to obscenity-yelling protesters in Philadelphia.
• President Joe Biden answered hecklers during his speech in Philadelphia on Thursday by reminding everyone that loud critics have their place, too. “They’re entitled to be outrageous,” he said. “This is a democracy.”

Trudeau needs to apologize for the horrible names and attributes he spewed onto the unvaxxed.

Who doesn't love Ralph Nader?

He turned 88 in February of this year and is still nudging people into looking after their own best interests.

Nader.org: How About a Civic Group to Oppose a Cashless Society?

• There are many inducements for vendors getting you into the credit-card economy. First, you lose control over your money. The ever-tightening tentacles of their fine-print contracts dictate the terms of their grip over you and any remedies you may have to challenge abuses. While losing your bargaining power under this consumer servitude, you also are losing your privacy big time, compared to buying with cash. “Data mining” takes over and sends your purchase history and profiles to anyone in the world willing to pay or anyone able to hack. Corporate Big Brother – Equifax and Facebook – are profiting from your personal data.

Surely the days are not gone when Ralph Nader's opinion was sought regarding, for instance, the purchase of a vehicle. People knew he cared about the consumer, that he could be trusted to give good advice.

NYT: Nader is relegated to taxis and buses for, if he purchased a car, it would be an implicit endorsement.

Years ago, I remember most people looking for a safe family vehicle would first check out what Ralph Nader had to say about it.

A personal note re the passing of his beloved mother:

I recall Nader saying, long ago in a personal interview, that when his mother cooked and baked she always cleaned up the bowls, utensils and spills immediately -- no soaking in the sink for her. So he did too. So, I did too.

And others must have heard him about cash, because the September 4 Global Walkout action was all about keeping cash alive.

Pierre Poilievre in the news:

NatNewsWatch: What Pierre Poilievre’s polarizing past on Parliament Hill says about his present

• So when Poilievre rose to speak for the first time as an MP, he knew exactly what he was doing. He went straight for Paul Martin's jugular: "The prime minister has engaged in a smorgasbord of patronage that is so impressive it would make even his predecessor blush."
• Eighteen years later, what strikes those who knew him then is how little the 43-year-old has changed.

No doubt Trudeau is nervous. After this video, he's going to want to avoid more of the same. Oh, but he has the Liberals' NDP component supporting him all way:

Peterborough Examiner: Pierre Poilievre wants to steal the labour vote. NDP insiders say they have a plan to stop him

• The New Democrats plan to position themselves as the only choice for the working class — a group where Pierre Poilievre has also trained his sights.

Canada, land of the free ...

Thanks to reader/friend M.R. for this Detroit Marathon update:

A PERSONAL NOTE:

I started blogging shortly after 9/11 (sans several down years for life changes) and PennyForYourThoughts began her work not long afterwards. Neither of us has ever even hinted for donations nor would we ever be so impolite as to flash annoying pop up ads or other notices in the reader's face while trying to read the main article. Nor are our readers confronted with fat bellies, huge breasts, and other side-column sales attractions. When I donate money to sites with good information, instead of just thanks -- now that they have my email address -- they pester me for more. It seems everything is all about money and notoriety.

It's the true bloggers who are first to be dumped by Google and Google Search to be replaced (using the same names) by personal naval gazing -- or black-listed for daring to mention unmentionable things, so that readership takes a dive (don't think I don't know that I have been blacklisted by some influential groups for daring to mention the plight of Palestinians, for instance, or for being reminded, by the vilification of the unvaxxed, of Hitler's targets -- not to mention, that my blog name itself has been copied by people who just want to sell stuff or rave about their cooking recipes or their gardens.

Go to Google Search, type in YayaCanada and see what you find there.  Now try Duck Duck Go.

I am extremely grateful to the readers who have stayed with me all these years and contributed their own thoughts to my site. I know also that there are silent readers who, in this day and age of identity fears, remain anonymous. To all my visitors, whether you participate or not, you are the reason I continue to post the truth as best I can, to help see that it's made known in the face of so many, many government and media lies. With advancing age the job becomes more taxing, so lest I succumb at some point, I want to say now, "Thanks to all my dear readers, contributors and fellow bloggers. You give me good reason to get up in the morning."

Below is a reminder from a now inactive blog created by a First Nations woman with a wicked sense of humour. I enjoyed visiting it during the Harper era, and still like to look in occasionally for old times sake: HarperValley
