Will someone in Ottawa please punch that human slug Lowell Green in the nuts for me? If i hear one more Canadian whine about their commute home being delayed by people desperate to draw even a sliver of attention to a humanitarian catastrophe that we would all otherwise totally ignore, i’m going to projectile vomit in their face. no, make that explosive diarrhea. yes, still in their face.
Canadians are amongst the last people on earth who should be crying about “foreigners bringing their problems over here with them”. Forget for a moment that the protesters blocking the Gardiner Expresway have family and friends facing death back home and that we’d all do the exact same thing if we were in their position. Forget that. Does the name Afghanistan ring any bells to Canadians? You know, that place where Canadians are foreigners and continue to make life rather inconvenient for Afghans?
Don’t believe me? Why not ask a member of the Afghan Parliament, (who incidentally has about 150 less civilian constituents (including infants) to represent these days since NATO blew them all of the face of the earth last month)?
Oh well, I guess as long as patriotic morons wasting resources driving back and forth between their useless jobs and their meaningless lives in front of their stupid T.V.’s aren’t put out, that’s what’s really important!

Kids From 95-Live From 95 – Here's a video of some kids from NEEDS CENTRE, where I used to work and still volunteer, and 95 Ellen Street/ IRCOM here in Winnipeg. They're telling it like it they see it! They all came here to Winnipeg as refugees within the last couple years. It's true what they say in the song, they've worked hard to be where they are. These kids are awesome! I feel proud of these little dudes.
It's nice to listen to music that means something to the musician.
