Not Smart

Dennis King maybe many things, but speaking when his brain is in neutral is not one of them. To agree with a local bigot that Transgender is being forced down anyone’s throat is stupid at best. To do it during an election only a little over a week away is to concede a lot of possible votes. This kind of talk and crude type jokes might have served him whilst on stage telling his stories. However, in the middle of an election it is just plain disaster for him and his party. We know there are lots of bigots out and about, and a wise candidate would have been prepared for them. To actually agree with one! Well what can I say?

For Not Five Party Debate??

Why only four party’s in the upcoming debate? There are five registered party’s running in this election. So why has the Island Party been excluded, do they not deserve a to be heard has much as the others. I do have a theory about this. The Island Party are speaking loud and clear about the land sales in Kings County. The Coalition for Lands Protection held a meeting on the weekend looking into the reason Bliss and Wisdom have been allowed to purchase so much property. If you are listening to King or the Liberal leader, nothing about land grabs are mentioned. Anyone wonder why this is? Could it be they are the ones responsible for these sales of land in Kings County? King runs around the island promising what he will do if re-elected. But never mentions the land protection, never mentions Point Deroche, or the development in the Three Rivers district. Both Conservative and Liberal party’s are guilty of allowing these massive land sales. They need to be held accountable, so a leaders debate needs to include all five official party’s. Just my view on this third week of the snap election.

Weekend Funnies

Being Jewish





A younger man and an old woman are travelling by train, and the old woman, after looking closely at the young man, leans forward and says, “Excuse me, young man, are you Jewish”?



And he looks up from the book he is reading and politely replies, “No ma’am, I am not Jewish”.



A few minutes later the old woman leans forward again and says, “Excuse me young man, are you sure you are not Jewish?”



Again the young man looks up from the book and replies, “No, I told you. I am not Jewish.”



After a few moments of silence, the woman again asks the man, “Are you sure that you are not Jewish?”



In exasperation, the young man stares at the old woman, and says, “Okay, okay! I AM Jewish! Are you happy now?”



“That’s funny,” the old woman replies. “You don’t look Jewish!”



🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂



Shhhhh…



A woman, employed as a telemarketer, was making phone calls to different households.



A little boy answered and whispered, “Hello.” The woman asked if his mother was there. The little boy whispered, “Yes.” The woman asked if she could speak with her. The little boy whispered, “No, she’s busy.”



The woman asked if his father was there. The little boy whispered, “Yes.” The woman asked if she could speak with him. The little boy whispered, “No, he’s busy too.”



The woman asked if anyone else was there and the little boy whispered, “Yes, the fire department is here.” The woman said, “May I speak with one of them?” The little boy whispered, “No, they’re all busy.”



The woman asked if anyone else was there, the little boy whispered, “Yes, the police department .” The woman said, “May I speak with one of them?” The little boy whispered, “No, they’re all busy too.”



The woman said, “May I ask what they’re all doing?” The little boy whispered, “They’re all looking for me.”

Break Even



Two men are in a bank when armed robbers break in.



One robber rushes the teller windows, one guards the door and the third bank robber stands in the middle of the bank and yells, “Right! Everyone up against the wall and empty your pockets. We want valuables, watches and wallets.”



The first man jams something into his buddy ‘s hand.



“What’s this?” asks his friend without looking down.



“It’s that $100 I owe you,” answers his friend.



🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Some Assembly Required



A man bought a new gadget — unassembled, of course — and after reading and rereading the assembly instructions still couldn’t figure out how it went together. Finally, he sought the help of an old handyman working in the backyard. The old fellow picked up the pieces, studied them, and then began assembling the gadget. In just a few minutes he has it all put together.



“That’s amazing,” said the man. “And you did it without even looking at the instructions!”



The handyman replied, “Fact is, I can’t read, and when a fellow can’t read he’s got to think.”

Liberal Leader

I listened to Sharon Cameron on the radio this morning. By her own admission she is highly qualified to be the next Premier. Hmm, not so sure, she talks like everything wrong with this Province is down to the PCs and maybe even the Green Party. Yes the health care system is in crisis, however, it wasn’t so great during the Liberals fifteen years in government. Sharon talks like the Liberals have never done anything wrong. In fact it’s like they have never existed until now. If we elect them things will magically get better according to their new leader. I seem to recall another Liberal leader claimed he would ensure every islander would have a family doctor if he was elected. Well people believed him and he was our premier for approximately ten years. Left under a cloud of suspicious circumstance’s before his term ended. Today we have some 28.000 islanders without a family doctor. Then we had the coronation of MacLauchlan, he decided to rule against a legally held vote for proportional representation. You will remember he and his liberal cohorts were swept from office.
So forgive me if what I hear from the mouth of the next liberal Wonder Woman, I take with a grain of salt. Maybe it’s that I’m old, I have heard these same promises over the years, yet nothing but a few faces ever change. It’s difficult to understand why so many islanders vote them in time and again. If we want real change vote for anyone but liberals or conservatives. Vote NDP, Island Party, Green Party or independent’s, we have choices.
God Bless and vote wisely.

Luck of the Irish

Here we are in the middle of another election, with promises falling like snow. Much of it probably falling on deaf ears, or perhaps disinterested ears. Why? well we have heard it all before, election after election and nothing ever changes. Today we have Dennis King travelling the island on his little economy box vehicle with his grinning face plastered on each side. He is promising to fix health care, and is offering us free, yes you heard right free, Maple!!! Not completely sure what Maple does, apparently you can phone for advice or to get a prescription. What a great way to improve health care, but did you know maple is owned by Galen Weston, you know him well, you buy your over priced groceries in his stores. Now our Dennis is sending more of our hard earned tax dollars to poor old Galen Weston. Does this not sound just a wee bit like privatizing health care. So folks, perhaps we might think Irish on 17th March and maybe think green too. Yes I know it would be the luck of the Irish if King was to lose the election. However, I’m Irish and wishing on a shamrock, perhaps you could too.
God Bless and think Green.

Polite Reminder to all

Please remember showing a glass of green beer on the 17th March does not celebrate Saint Patrick Day. The Irish do not drink green beer, they drink Guinness and Porter. Neither of these drinks come in green. So please allow us some respect as a great nation of writers, playwrights, poets. Ireland fought against the biggest power on Earth at the beginning of the 20th. We were the first British Colony to break free of the English yoke. Wishing everyone with Irish links a Very Happy Saint Patrick Day.

King’s Honest Election Report??

I wonder if Dennis king has noticed his nose growing longer. Here is a guy that told us he would run the most honest and transparent government in the history of Prince Edward Island. Just recently standing in front of potential voters he committed a falsehood, some might say it was a bare faced lie? He loudly exclaimed his government had kept all of its 120 promises ! However, it has now been proven that was not the case. He has only managed to keep 60% of those promises, so why lie to the voters? Well, I guess we do not need an answer to that question do we? Later, when caught in this lie, or possible a gross exaggeration if I’m being kinder, he stated in a mumble the other promises were ongoing. Well Mr king I guess voters need to take your ideas of the truth with a pinch of salt!
God Bless don’t believe everything you hear.

Belmont Street

It is no secret that Dennis King is a story teller, but not all his stories have a basis in truth. How many people believe his plan to establish the needle exchange was always going to be on Belmont Street? It was indeed going to be situated there, but hold it, we are having an election. Cant force this issue now, too many votes at stake. Now King will tell us he has listen to the people and will look for a more suitable site. He climbs back on his big fuel guzzling bus all smiles and with satisfaction that he has again fool us the voters. Wondering if we might hear some more of his jokes, you know, the one about ugly women shoppers at Walmart. We need to think very carefully before giving this guy another four years. Health care is in crisis and the only thing that changed in the last four years, it has grown worse. Now King suddenly has a plan to fix health care. Please do not be fooled again, vote for any party that is not Conservative or Liberal. Fail to do that and we will suffer four more years of the some old same old.
God Bless and vote wisely

Little Big Things We Forget

While the party’s are all talking health care, and rightly so, we tend to forget other very important issues. Let’s talk deep water wells and the massive Irving holding ponds. Remember these holding ponds that required two pumps running 24/7 for a month just to fill them. I note that the government doesn’t mention them anymore, but be sure they are still out there, as are the deep water wells. Remember the E Gaming scandal and King stalling on releasing the documents. Were they ever released or quietly swept under the carpet? How about the Gunn Bridge over the Trout River, a bridge that cost approximately 600 million and goes nowhere? Next two major fish kills in the Dunk River and Cousins Shore, was anyone ever charged? Last but not least the silly government payment of 4.7 million to Irving, whom Irving didn’t want or need. While everyone focuses on health care, they ignore or pretend these other scandals didn’t happen. For those folks claiming they are satisfied with the PCs they should perhaps remind themselves of the passed record of this government.
God Bless and please think before you vote.

Getting Gas

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas (back in the day when there was such a thing) just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station.

Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.

“Reverend,” said the young man, “sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”

The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”
