Greetings My Dear Readers,

I come to you today from a Bright and Sunny Land of Not.  Although this land of so little is known far and wide for its frigid winters and foul weather on the rare occasion we are graced with a nice day that the locals drink up while complaining the whole time.

Although the world around me is one of insanity, poverty, and utter lunacy, larger matters beyond my backyard always get my attention.

Sadly, although our economic leaders assure us that the recession is over and the country is on the rebound, according to recent studies 50% of Canadian’s are now living Paycheck to Paycheck with little to no ability to build a savings.  While companies continue to downsize and close at record rates, putting more and more Canadian’s out of work.  As a result of this, bankruptcies are reaching record numbers and more and more families are losing their homes and many of them despite our various social safety nets, are ending up on the streets.

Yes folks, this is the state of our nation, yet they tell us the Recession is over…

Our American Neighbors

I listen to a lot of American Talk Radio and the amount of hatred that gets spewed daily across the airwaves is absolutely sickening.

The right wing hatred of President Obama is beyond my understanding.   As an outsider’s perspective, I see President Obama as one of the best things to ever happen to my southern neighbors.  This man’s election has eliminated the race card in the United States, he is a charismatic leader and speaker who is working hard to bring single payer health care to the United States, and has taken an active interest in improving the health, welfare and education of America’s children.

President Obama from my outsiders’ perspective is the John F. Kennedy of our time, a man who can, if given the chance, improve America’s standing in the world and heal many of the wounds of old that has made the U.S. one of the most hated countries on the planet.

Yet, the American Air waves are flooded with so much hate for this man who has so much potential for helping their nation.  Most of which I believe is race related, although America has moved forward and made a historic step in the right direction by putting a black man in the White House, the old racist boys club that has run the country for so long just can’t handle the idea that a black man is now leading their country. 

President Obama has been working hard and fighting an up hill battle to bring single payer health care to all American’s.  This is the same government funded and run health care system that Canada, France, England, Cuba, and countless other countries use to ensure that every citizen of their country gets full health care regardless of their income.

This is a wonderful step for America, it will ensure that the hundreds of Millions of American’s who currently cannot afford proper medical care will finally get the medical care that they need to thrive and succeed.

May he succeed, despite his detractors.  The American people need and deserve quality health care for all.

Obama recently addressed his nation’s children, and encouraged them to work hard in school so they can fulfill their dreams, something I have never seen any other world leader do.

He is the hope that America needs.

May the American people wake up and look past their racially motivated ignorance and embrace the change and potential for greatness that Obama is bringing them.

Until next time,

Your Cold Hearted Bastard,

D.
