Battle of the Plains of Abraham never happened

Updated here, to reflect a visit from Prince Charles in November of 2009.

In 1759, British forces defeated a combined force of French and Canadian troops in a battle for supremacy on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec. The British won. The French Empire in North America went on a downward spiral into oblivion, much like the current prospects Quebec has for getting out of Canada — i.e., basically gone, forgotten and consequently will never happen.

That’s a fact, Jack. Err, Jacques.

Too bad, so sad. Get over it.

In 2009, the National Battlefields Commission wanted to re-enact the battle, thinking it would be a marvelous tourist draw, as the re-enactment had been in previous years.

Oops.

No can do. C’est ne pas possible.

until Quebec becomes a sovereign state, any re-enactment of the battle would be disrespectful to francophones. -Patrick Bourgeois, leader of Le Reseau de Resistance du Quebecois

Yeah, right.

Apparently, the froggies in Quebec don’t like admitting a battlefield defeat, even though it was a mere 250 years ago. So much for froggie history.

Here’s a thought: Get the fuck out of Canada and make up your own history, any way you like it made up.

Go on! Scoot! Go away. Get the hell out of here. Nobody wants you.

No? I didn’t think so. Chickenshits.

Then STFU and like it.

Finally, a reason surfaces for Ontario Bill 117

A pair of dumbasses want to divorce and cause each other some anxiety along the way. Of course, whether it’s about motorcycles or people pissing each other off, what does it matter to the two of them?

“I’ll fix that son of a bitch by making sure he gets as little quality time to bond with our son as he can get,” she thinks.

In my daily parenting plight, I have recently had a new situation cross my path, which has served to be both alarming and perplexing. To make a long story as concise as possible, my soon to be ex-husband has decided, to my chagrin, that my son Liam (8 years old) should be a regular passenger on his motorcycle. -Katherine Mellor

I strongly suspect the ex-husband/father is a few bricks short of a load too. I’m sure he probably knew that putting their eight-year-old on the back of his motorcycle in the midst of a divorce would piss his old lady off to no end.

Now an entire province will pay with Bill 117, preventing anyone 14 and under from riding on the back of a motorcycle.

and their collective tongue wagging.

This book is primarily directed to the people of the three major religions of the world (Islam, Judaism and Christianity), whose roots are in the God of Abraham.

No doubt about it.

The market is greatly restricted, since the work is published in English, Dutch, Italian, French and Spanish only. Although, something does tell me that it’s not going to be a best-seller, no matter the language.

Canada Food Inspection Agency list of contaminated products from the Peanut Corp. of America in Georgia, including pet food products. About a third of the way down the page is the list of products manufactured in America.

Even though federal health officials have begun a criminal investigation into whether the Peanut Corporation of America deliberately sold contaminated products, the government still needed the company’s permission last week before announcing a huge recall of its products. —NYTimes online

The FDA needed the permission of the Peanut Corp. of America prior to announcing a peanut product recall because the product was contaminated with salmonella? WTF is with that? Even that backwater nation known as Canada published the list of contaminated products from Peanut Corp. of America before the FDA had “permission”.

Let’s see now…

Salmonella? Can’t be. No way. Let’s see what the Peanut Corp. of America says about it first before we actually do anything. Quote: “Peanut Corporation of America will update this page as facts dictate.”

Really? I think they mean that they’ll publish an update after they dictate to the FDA what will be said.

It would seem the eight-year long nightmare the world was having isn’t over yet. But then, nothing so involved would ever truly happen overnight — unless it too was a nightmare.

President and CEO?

Perhaps he could start à la Bill Cosby by suggesting that some go out and get an actual education, stop talking gibberish (if you all will pardon the pun), pull their pants up, put on a belt, tie their shoelaces and be responsible.

See? I’m all for change too — whoever they is. Or are.
