It's tits-up for Micron

Li’l Napoleon keeps plumbing new depths in the history of French presidential polling. When you listen to him, he seems to believe massive street protests are proof he’s on the right track! From the looks of things, more and more folks obviously believe he is! In fact, the French masses are so impressed by their li’l emperor’s sagacity they have set multiple cities alight in celebration!

CBC’s coverage has been careful to stress that the massive street protests are entirely the result of  disgruntled high school students, belatedly joined by a few yellow vest types. While manifestly false, there’s a reason for that framing. Canadian students are far too polite  docile to ever push back against the governments who have systematically underfunded education for the past fifty years, and besides, we never had yellow vests.

The reason a million Frenchmen and women are in the streets is because Li’l Nap has made it abundantly clear, over and over again, that in the democracy he presides over, he calls the shots, and the voter’s don’t. Oddly enough, that’s the exact message the German people are getting from Blackrock Schmertz and the Brits from the latest hapless dork who finds himself in 10 Downing. What these key NATO allies, the very like-minded democracies Mark Carney wants to hitch our wagon to, have in common is they’ve all announced massive social spending cuts in order to prepare their people for war with Russia by 2030. That’s why France is in flames today, and unless there’s  a change in course soon, the conflagration can only spread.

Which brings us to back to CBC. Canada has yet to impose the draconian social spending cuts seen among our European allies, but the writing is on the wall. Thus far Carney’s orgy of military spending is only in the planning stage, and we can hope the government follows through with the time-honored Canadian tradition of giving ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done and leave it at that.

I’m not a fan of Brodie Fenlon’s gang of wokies,  but they want to blame teenagers for the mayhem in France for a reason. Otherwise they might have to face the fact that voters don’t call the shots in Canada either. Mark Carney at this moment has the highest numbers in the history of Canadian polling. He has announced a trillion dollars in military spending that no voters have been consulted on. If only half  those projects proceed we’ll see those massive social spending cuts as surely as night follows day.
