Thailand, Montréal And Québec Dumbassery Parade Before The Big Walk

I am looking forward to the Glorious Twelfth and the Big Walk, so I want to get a few things out of the way.

First, Bravo Zulu Francefor defeating Belgium one-nil! Next, The Three Lions take on Croatia, whose flag is also Red, White and Blue, which means, that whatever the outcome of Squeaky Bum Time in the 2018 World Cup, the pro-Sinn Fein/IRA Rock Bar will be flying Red, White and Blue. Oh, the schadenfreude of it all!

Then, there is dumbassery I do not like. Everybody is celebrating that the dumbass Thai kids and their soccer/footy coach who thought it would be a swell idea to go spelunking have all come out safe and sound. I am not. I do not celebrate this genre of dumbassery. Especially when it costs the life of a Thai Navy SEAL, one of the best men his country has to offer...and who no one is talking about right now. This will win me zero friends, but those dumbass spelunkers can ALLgit tae fuck! Even the one with the Three Lions badge!

The same can be said for the support of the local wannabe soccer/footy team, the Montréal Impact. I have not seen this story anywhere in print, but Tony Marinaro of TSN 690, and other Impact support knobs, have been on a tear because, apparently, the owners changed the casuals section to a sitting section, and all the knobs have their knickers in a twist because the local peelerscame in and politely told the casuals to sit down. Really? This is the hill these jackoffs want to die on? Then they must be living a charmed existence. Peelers in Glasgow and Ulster ROUTINELYharass supporters of the Famous. Impact Support are a bunch of Intar-Webs/radio tough guys who would shit their pants at an Old Firm match, and prove for all the world to see that Montréal--even the English-speaking sectors and elements therein--simply is not Portadown, the Shankill or Govan.

Then, there is the fact that some other dumbasses want to sue Québec's long-term care and nursing homes, called CHSLD's, because they are shitholes that maltreat vulnerable people. They are right about the CHSLD's...and chickenshit for going after a faceless institution when they know damned well WHO is the problem. Some say the problem is the current Liberal Government's cutbacks. These were inevitable, as they are everywhere else in the Western world where there is a diminishing population, and a concomitant diminishing tax base. So, this lawsuit is a lawsuit to nowhere.

The real problem with the CHSLD's is the big problem in all of Québec in general. That problem is the labour unions. Gaspesian labour unions will fuck over French-Canadians who try to succeed on the international stage, and their idea of "negotiating" is when management surrenders.

CHSLD workers--like ALLQuébec healthcare workers, public ANDprivate, as I have had the most unfortunate recent experience of dealing extensively with both sets of sacks of shit--are unionised up the nose. They treat patients like shit and can get away with it because the union makes them untouchable. In Corruption, Eli Cross has fictional American "union delegates," one played by Herschel Savage, conspiring to commit fraud. Herschel Savage's character is far from fictional in Québec, and is, indeed, standard-issue.

I am no fan of Éric Duhaime, who is an apologist for pick-up artists and the boyosphere. But he sure had it right when he wrote the the vast majority of Québec's problems would disappear overnight if the Province adopted Right-to-work laws.

But tell Gaspesians--even, or especially--the dumbasses bringing this go-nowhere lawsuit that instituting Right-to-work and at-will laws in Québec will solve 99.99999999999999% of the problems of, not only the CHSLD's, not only the healthcare sector in Québec in general, but also of Québec as a whole, and they will do one of two things. First, they will yell back at you that they believe that Jimmy Hoffa/Herschel Savage "union delegate" from Corruption-style union thuggery is their God-given constitutional right, in which case, they are fanatic devotees of their secular cause the way ISIS are fanatic devotees of their non-secular cause, as in both get off on martyring themselves for their beliefs. (As I said, I am not a fan of the boyosphere/PUA-adulating Éric Duhaime, but damn, he sure got it right when he said that, during their much-ballyhooed "Quiet Revolution," Gaspesians simply exchanged the Roman Catholic Church for labour unions as the engines for all their thinking.)

Second, those plaintiffs above who are not ISIS-level labour union fanatics will simply pretend not to hear you. If you press them, they will tell you sotto voce and off-camera that this is something "we should not talk about." This is a shame. The first bunch of plaintiffs want to be martyrs for the "great social advancement cause of Québec," so fuck them. The second lot are, like the African-American people in Mississippi Burning and the majority of the town ruled by the white sheets in The Klansman, too worn-down and scared to call out the real problem by its name. Right-to-work and at-will laws, you see, are a marvelous tonic for a seditious workforce. They organise this mob's affairs to the extent that they are rapidly disabused of their delusion that they are somehow human fucking beings and, overnight, inculcates in them the concept of "SIR, AYE-AYE, SIR!" ("À VOS ORDRES!" in French), a concept essential for the proper functioning of any employee in any domain you care to name.

It is not by accident that I compare Québec's thuggish labour unionsto the Klan. In reaction to the announcement of the class action lawsuit, both of Québec's white nationalist parties, the Coalition avenir Québec and the Parti Québecois, had something to say. Both used the announced lawsuit to attack the ruling Liberal Government, neither said a damned word about the labour mafia that is the root of the problem. This is understandable in the part of the PQ, which is pro-union.

The CAQ, on the other hand, are led by François Legault, who rips off Ayn Rand, then, like Kevin O'Leary, further tarnishes Rand's name by channeling her ideas with the nastiest Gordon Gekko imitation he can conjure up in front of the cameras and the microphones. In the 2012 debates, Legault did not hesitate to rip into the labour unions, leading a post-debate journalist to ask him if he hated the labour unions. Then again, in 2012, Legault's mob had zero chances of forming the Government.

This year is different. Legault and his CAQ mob are polling well ahead of the other parties now, three months before the election. Legault has a chance this time round. As a result of this, it stands to reason, he is not going to alienate any major constituency in Québec, such as are the labour unions, even if it means violating his basic economic tenets, which means that Legault has no principles he will not bin if he thinks binning it will get him power. It is therefore no surprise that, instead of even speaking about the union problem, he is demonising non-whites and non-Gaspesians, the sum of these non-mutually-exclusive groups comprising only 2 million out of Québec's 8 million-strong population.

So, if Legault wins, non-whites and non-Gaspesians will be packed on cattle cars headed east, but the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the amorphous CHSLD quainstitution will still be mistreated by the Gaspesian labour unions. That is what happens when people are either blind fanatics irrevocably wedded to their self-delusionary dogmas, or are too weak and worn out to identify the real problem by its name.
