Donald Trump creates a humanitarian crisis: Despacito

OK so Hillary Clinton is a arms dealer and a drug trafficker but Donald Trump is a dick. Trump is creating a humanitarian crisis for no reason with absolutely no regard for thousands of working families he is turning homeless. We've already talked about the mass exodus of refugees getting kicked out of the US coming to Canada because they have no place else to go.

We aren't seeing the same mass influx of refugees on the west coast like they are on the east Coast. In Montreal the Olympic stadium is full of refugees. Most of those are Haitians that came to the United States after the earthquake. Now Trump is telling them they have to leave.

We had a family of four stay with us from Colombia and Honduras who had been living and working in Dallas for two years. They both had jobs, they owned a home and rented a bouncy castle for their children's birthday. Donald Trump revoked their green cards so they were forced to leave and came to Canada with absolutely nothing.

In addition to removing DACA, Trump is preparing to remove temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of other immigrants who have been permitted to build lives in the United States, in some cases for decades. This lunatic is creating a humanitarian crisis for no reason whatsoever. It doesn't even make business sense. More than 86,000 Hondurans and more than 5,300 Nicaraguans are protected under the program. El Salvador's temporary protected status is up for expiration in March. Salvadorans make up more than 263,000 of the immigrants who are temporarily protected, and they have been living in the United States since 2001.

Despacito featuring Daddy Yankee is the first song to be sung primarily in Spanish to reach the top 10 in over 20 years. Diversity makes us strong. Like I said, Nicky Jam que Bacano.

Burma Genocide

Burma is in the news and although I really don't know enough about what's going on to comment, something needs to be said. Burma is now called Myanmar. The Guardian is reporting that "Myanmar’s treatment of its Muslim Rohingya minority appears to be a textbook example of ethnic cleansing, the top United Nations human rights official has said."

Descriptions of the atrocities seem beyond belief. This is something we need to look into. The Guardian reported on a massacre at Tula Toli and claims that the Myanmar government won't let the media in to confirm the claims. One fact that is not disputable is that refugees are fleeing the violence and are pouring into Bangladesh. Time Magazine wrote about the genocide in 2012. Apparently this violence has been going on for generations and has recently spiked.

This is bizarre. The Holocaust was obscene as was the Rwanda tragedy. This is unacceptable. This does not happen in a civilized society. One does not turn a blind eye to these kind of atrocities. We need to spotlight Burma and find out what is really going on. Burma is the place we need to send Canadian Peacekeepers to protect the innocent and keep the peace.



Lester Pearson established Canadian Peacekeeping. It is time to resurrect that long standing Canadian tradition. Burma needs Canadian Peacekeepers. We can't wait for the Americans because they won't do it. Under Donald Trump's leadership they are both heartless and brainless. This is something we are going to have to spearhead ourselves.

Limo crashes into Surrey Home - Jagmeet Singh addresses Islamophobia

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that a limo crashed into a Surrey home 3:00 AM this morning. Perhaps alcohol was a factor in that accident.



Meanwhile back in Brampton, Ontario NDP candidate Jagmeet Singh was heckled by a woman claiming he was Muslim. Instead of explaining to her he was Sikh not Muslim he simply said we support love and courage. After the event he explained why he did not simply say he was not Muslim. "My response to Islamophobia has never been I'm not Muslim. It has always been and will be that hate is wrong." Well said. That lady is a mental case.

Let's make education great again.

NDP scrap $2.5 billion bridge

Not surprisingly, as soon as the tolls were scrapped on the Port Mann bridge traffic spiked. Traffic patterns have changed. Now the NDP have scrapped the $2.5 billion bridge scam to replace the George Massey tunnel. So in reality, scrapping the bridge tolls just saved taxpayers $2.5 billion.

Since Treo screwed me over on toll bills I have been taking the other route to Vancouver. I take the Alex Fraser bridge into Vancouver and the George Massey tunnel coming back. During rush hour traffic in the tunnel is surprisingly light. Now with more people using the Port Mann it will be even better. That whole mega bridge was another scam. What we need is fiscal responsibility. Christy Clark and Diane Watts, the queens of insider trading, are not it.

Another simple way to save another $2.6 billion tax dollars would be to scrap this insane idea of putting an on ground railway through the middle of Surrey. That is the stupidest idea in recorded history. We dont need it and we don't want it. Spending money on that would perpetuate the insider trading fraud. An on ground railway from Guildford Mall to Surrey Place is stupid. It is a short commute by bus with no wait times. An onground railway would disrupt all traffic crossing the line and throw traffic lights out of synch which would make traffic congestion unbearable. There's no room for it either. That's why they want to cram a road through parks, playgrounds and schools. Stop the fraud. Loose the airheads.

John Horgan and Linda Hepner pose with Surrey gunman

Global is reporting that John Horgan and Linda Hepner were photographed posing with a convicted shooter, former Radio India boss Maninder Gill from a fundraising dinner Wednesday. Gill was sentenced to four years behind bars for a 2010 shooting outside a Surrey temple that left one man injured. In a statement, the BC NDP said the Premier did not know Maninder Gill, nor was he privy to the guest list of the event.

Hepner said Dhesi invited her and the only reason why she went to the dinner was to establish a relationship with the province’s new premier. “I do know Maninder Gill, it was not my intention to be in a photo with him, group or otherwise.”

A word of advice to John Horgan. If you want to protect your political future, stay as far away from Linda Hepner as possible. That woman is dumb as f*ck and is dirty as f*ck. However, since he did attend a function with her we are going to have to ask him, aren't schools in BC protected? Linda Airhead Hepner wants to build a road that is totally unnecessary right through an elementary school playing field. Let's save the school and lose the airhead.

Surrey shooting and homicide plus golf accident

Global is reporting that there was another shooting last night on highway one. "Langley RCMP said the incident happened around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when the driver of a white Jeep SUV was driving westbound near 192 Street. A police investigation has so far found that shots were fired from a 1994 or 1995 four-door black Acura into the Jeep while both vehicles were travelling westbound on Highway 1 between 200 and 102 streets. The driver of the Jeep was able to drive to the area of 96 Avenue and 176 Street and wait for help before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Reports say he was hit in the leg." News 1130 is reporting that "Soon after investigators were able to track down the suspect vehicle."

The Peace arch News is reporting that "The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is on scene after a dead body was found following a fire in Surrey overnight." The fire was in the 12300-block of 112A Avenue in the Bridgeview area of Surrey just before 1 a.m. Police reported that the male “died under suspicious circumstances and the cause of the fire has also been deemed suspicious. Officers have taken one individual into custody.”

On the lighter side, the Times Colonist is reporting that "A 60-year-old Ladysmith man is recovering from a gunshot wound to his leg after he was hit while playing golf. Nanaimo RCMP said the man was just finishing up a round at about 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 31, at a Lantzville golf course when he felt a sudden pain in his calf muscle. A group of golfers came to his aid and helped him off the course. The injured man then drove himself home. Later, he visited a Ladysmith hospital where X-rays revealed a bullet lodged in his calf. The bullet was removed and the wound dressed. The injured man is expected to make a full recovery."

"Mounties later fanned out to speak with residents living near the golf course. They had heard reports of sporadic gunshots throughout the afternoon. It’s now believed that the man was hit by an errant shot fired by one or more people practice shooting from an adjacent rural area. Investigators do not believe the wounded man was targeted. However, police strongly cautioned shooting a firearm within 100 metres of any building is illegal. Also, a basic rule of gun safety is to always know the background of one’s shooting area and what lies beyond it." No kidding. Target shooting beside a golf course isn't a very smart thing to do.

Update: Meanwhile back on the ranch, US police tell American gun enthusiasts not to fire guns at hurricanes. If they only had a brain.

Fatal shooting in Chilliwack - a week of violence

The Agassiz-Harrison Observer is reporting that "Chilliwack RCMP have confirmed that one person is dead following an early morning shooting in the 9500 block of Williams Street." CBC is reporting that "The shooting happened at about 4:20 a.m. PT on William Street near Yale Road."

In July a Hells Angels associate from Calgary was shot dead in Chilliwack.

Communist China still lying about North Korea - Update

AFP is reporting that "China strongly condemned North Korea's Sunday nuclear test, slamming Pyongyang for ignoring international condemnation of its atomic weapons programme." Can we please put an end to China's compulsive lying because it is really becoming offensive. Actions speak louder than words. Putting a statement on a website stating they condemn North Korea's nuclear test means absolutely nothing when they at the same time oppose sanctions against North Korea and object to South Korea installing an iron dome missile defense system against North Korea's continued terrorist threats.

How can we believe anything China says when they throw Buddhists in jail just for being Buddhists and execute them to order for organ harvesting. Nothing China says has any credibility whatsoever because they are murders and compulsive liars.

Sanctions against North Korea for conducting nuclear tests in support of its defiant missile launches terrorizing the world are now in order. Canada, Japan, South Korea and Guam need an Iron Dome Missile defense system just like Israel.

Canada needs to stop selling China Canadian nuclear reactors because they use that technology to export nuclear weapons and China are the ones that supply North Korea with military equipment. BC and Alberta need to take back their oil rights from Communist China. It's that simple. It's called a natural consequence of unacceptable behaviour.



Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that "North Korea illegally exported coal, iron and other commodities worth at least $270 million to China and other countries including India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka in the six-month period ending in early August in violation of U.N. sanctions, U.N. experts say." This is where we need to balance the extremes.

I don't care if North Korea exports coal or iron to China. That is their right. However, it is our right to say we will not buy your products or give you humanitarian aid when you continue to conduct nuclear tests and continue to terrorize the world with defiant missile tests. North Korea needs to be able to feed itself. We dont want to create another Helms Burton fiasco.

If North Korea wants to be Communist then let them be Communist. If they invade another country we will take up arms against them. If they threaten the world with nuclear missiles then we will refuse to buy their products. That is our right and our duty.

Fatal shooting in West Kelowna - Update

Global is reporting that a yong man who was a a web designer in his mid-to-late 20s was gunned down in a West Kelowna driveway across the street from his parents home around 8:15 p.m. last night. He was visiting them from Vancouver.

The victim had just pulled into his parent’s driveway and was driving a black GMC Yukon before the shooting occurred. A neighbour came out to find two bullet wholes visible in driver's side window and the victim's body slumped over in driver's seat

Update: The Kerameus Review is reporting that "Pennell owned a company called Traphouse Skateboards which was registered to the West Kelowna address on McTaggart Road that police were called to with a report of shots fired. He was found dead in a vehicle in the driveway. In a press release issued hours after the shooting Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey deemed the death a homicide and said that the victim lived a “high-risk lifestyle” and “was well known to police.”

"In fact, court records show Pennell faced a dozen separate drug trafficking charges and weapon-related charges in 2011. The Prince George Citizen wrote in 2013 that Pennell had been dealing drugs for about a year when he was arrested on charges stemming from that activity."

Garibaldi Lake

I hiked up to Garibaldi Lake today hoping to camp overnight but the campsites were all full and they don't allow back country camping. Other places do but they have a ranger station on site checking everyone. This is the same trail that takes you up Black Tusk but I didn't make it that far.



The ride home was a bit of a zen moment for me. The setting sun turned the horizon orange behind the islands in the water along the coast. It reminded me of watching the sun set behind Bowen Island from Whitecliff when I was a kid. I felt at total peace. About everything.



It was nice seeing tents and sleeping bags tied to the back of motorcycles heading out on the freeway for the long weekend. Now that's living the dream. Pimping crack hoes isn't living the dream it's pimping the dream. It's selling the dream out.
