6195...Good Time For A Tumour

Cold I may be but I am also accurate.

The lucky recipient of said tumour, a lung tumour none the less, as reported by the gang at Postmedia, is Bruce Carson.  Mr. Carson is our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper's former chief of staff and he was slated to be tried for fraud against the government, a story that APTN broke, July 22.



This is not Mr. Carson's first rodeo; he has been convicted of fraud before.  Back in '90.  Gives hope to all of us who want to run Canada someday.  Kudos to Mr. Prime Minister for giving Mr. Carson a second chance; reverse kudos to Mr. Carson for f'ing it up.

6194...Mayors Should Pay Hos In Cash

When using a sex worker.

Allegedly, according to The Canadian Press and TVA, interim hizzoner Alexandre Duplessis of Laval rented a hooker a while back and had a dispute about the 160$ per hour fee.  The as of now former mayor claims there is nothing to the story; TVA "...said there were 110 text messages [between the mayor and the sex worker and/or her bosses] and showed some of them on the screen."  Also "Initial details about the alleged encounter appeared in a TVA report Thursday."



Hizzoner apparently is a bit of a freak.  The mayor wanted to play dressup with the sex worker and have a girl's night.  Um, he wanted to dress like a girl.  Apparently he and the prostitute did put on nice lingerie, high boots and did make up together.

What brought this to the fore was that the police say that a man, they won't say whom, came to them on June 14th of this year and alleged he was being extorted by a pross.

By the way Mr. Duplessis is happily married with a pair of kids.

6191...Guns, Guns, Guns

As every news source in Canada reported the RCMP went a little Stasi in High River, Alberta today grabbing private people's legal private guns.



When our beloved Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, heard about it he told them to bring the guns right back. They said they would.  Soon.

What I found ironic was the fact that the RCMP claimed they were grabbing the guns coz they were protecting valuable property for the people.  Presumably they also loaded up their vans with flat screens, dvd players and jewelry

6190...Canada Goes First Overall

NBA Draft 2013, Commissioner David Stern's last draft, was held tonight in Brooklyn.  Canuck Anthony Bennett, a UNLV frosh, became the first Canadian to go first over all in the draft.



Next year it is predicted that another Canadian, Andrew Wiggins, will also come out first overall.  Both of these men are from the GTA.

In case you did not know the GTA is now a world capital for producing basketball players.

6189...Liz The Two Gets Big Raise

Five percent, which is a lot more than you got this time out, is what the Queen of Canada, Elizabeth II, has got as her raise this year.



CNN reports that it is real estate that has helped her highness make even more shekels than ever before.  "The Crown Estate, a public body that manages property for the monarch, posted a record profit of 252.6 million British pounds ($387.2 million) for the last financial year -- up by 5.2% from last year...all the profit...is paid into the public coffers.  The queen is then paid a grant each year by the Treasury equal to 15% of the profit from two years before."

Everybody is happy.  Except for you.
