DO YOU THINK CANADA IS FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT IN AFGHANISTAN?

Think again. Rather than listen to corporate media hacks and deceitful politicians, or the politically correct friends and family of ignorant young Canadian soldiers, we might actually try listening to an Afghan for once, to hear what he or she thinks about foreign soldiers in their land.

But they must be glad of us there, right? Aren't Canadian troops there so Afghan girls can evade the Taliban and get an education? So runs the propaganda. But here what Malalai Joya, a courageous Afghan defender of women's rights has to say about the war. I heard her interviewed on CBC radio recently, and she cuts through all the bullshit like a razor.

CANADA FUCKS OVER THE WORLD

I come out of the doldrums of blog inactivity to give you this priceless link. You've gotta read George Monbiot in his blog entry, The Urgent Threat to World Peace is . . . Canada. Fuckin' eh. He's absolutely right.

I think Canada is a disgrace. We are a rich country and have nothing better to offer this troubled world than to fuck it over with our damned tar sands oil and our vicious obstruction of environmental progress.

Who the hell do we think we are? And why do we let our ruling classes do whatever they like? God inspire us to exterminate their power over us. It's way past time.
