Protesters Call for End to Canada's
Annual Slaughter of Conservatives
Protesters Call for End to Canada's
Annual Slaughter of Conservatives
03/26/2005 04:34 PM
The Idea: I couldn't resist after
reading this.
I'm kidding. Really.
The snow and ice of Canada is
set to turn red with blood once again as hunters prepare to embark on
an operation to club or shoot up to 320,000 conservatives. The
government quota has been increased tenfold for the next three years
as
populations of conservatives in some of Canada's most isolated areas
have spiked, following the demise of their natural predators, and as
unemployment of hunters and fishermen has soared due to
overexploitation of Canada's natural resources.
Pointing to the appointment of disgraced Canadian conservative
businessman Conrad Black to the British House of Lords, British and
European trade critics have accused Canada of "dumping" their excess
unwanted conservatives there. "We have enough of our own to deal
with",
said Germany's trade minister, "We don't need Canada sending us their
bloated conservative carcasses. There is absolutely no use for
them."
Political rights campaigners have begun a boycott of Canadian bacon,
maple sugar and other products and this year's hunt is set to be as
controversial as before. The controversy is inextricably linked to the
visceral images of hapless, slow-moving conservatives being clubbed to
death and the ice floes turning red with their blood and brains.
Hunters say that using a spiked club or hakapik is a humane method but opponents say the
conservatives are often skinned alive and left to die, pointing out as
an example the treatment of former
conservative leader and now deputy leader Peter MacKay at a recent
conservative gathering.
"I think it comes down to being a values issue," said Ralph Wingnut, a
spokeswoman for the International Fund for Conservative Welfare (IFCW)
which is opposed to the hunt.
Despite the efforts of activists, hunting of Canadian conservatives
has
long been a way of life for some. "There is really nothing new about
this year's hunt," said Roger Wilco, a Liberal government spokesman.
"They're really responsible for their own demise", Wilco added. "They
breed like flies, and they're constantly attacking each other. We're
actually doing them a favour by putting them out of their misery
before
they starve or kill each other. And they eat like pigs -- we think
they're responsible for the decline of our fisheries, and maybe even
for Mad Cow". Many conservatives are found in Alberta and British
Columbia, where two cases of Mad Cow disease have recently been
uncovered. In the US, large cattle herds and conservatives are also
known to frequent the same areas.
The conservative-hunters insist that their actions are not cruel.
"These doddering beasts are not intelligent, they don't even know
what's happening to them", said local conservative-hunter Jack Hoff.
"They have very tiny brains, and they have repeatedly shown that they
are incapable of feeling pain, or anything else".
Canadian conservative leader Stephen Harper compounded conservatives'
misfortunes this week, praising George Bush as a great leader, and
saying Canada made a mistake to refuse to participate in the US
Missile
Defence program and the Iraq War. "I would have sent all five members
of Canada's armed forced to Iraq", he insisted. He also opposed
Canada's approval of the Kyoto Accord, and is threatening to force the
minority Liberal government into an election over that issue. Critics
pounced on Harper's statements as further evidence that conservatives
are incapable of sentient thought or feeling.
The government insists that the conservative hunt protects against
overpopulation of the species and provides jobs in economically
depressed parts of the country. "With the demise of the fisheries
industry in Canada [due to overfishing], we needed to find something
else for the people in the industry to kill", said former fisheries
minister (now minister without portfolio) Wilbur Wackjob. "These are
very proud people. They have a great history of indiscriminately
overharvesting Canada's natural resources, and that's something this
government supports."
The government is also investigating a West Coast
conservative hunt to provide much needed jobs for BC's loggers, since
aggressive clear-cutting of Canada's old growth forests has decimated
the province's natural beauty and forestry employment is suffering.
"The use of chain saws will be much more effective than the clubs used
in the East Coast hunt", a spokesman said. He defended the proposal,
pointing out that Canada's mismanaged forestry industry is
predominantly owned by conservative American conglomerates. "That just
shows how brainless they are", the spokesman added. "They won't feel a
thing."

Has big media jumped the shark?
09/15/2004 03:45 PMThe traditional news organizations have tended to look at the on-line
world with a considerable amount of contempt.
Neowin, which has broken many news stories first, has helped lead the
charge of the so-called new media. That is, media that moves at
Internet speed. Blog sites have done much the same thing.
But respect has been slow coming as there was always the believe that
there was something inherently less reliable about the news from a
Neowin or a blog site or what not because they don't have the
editorial controls that traditional media outlets such as the New York
Times or network news have.
This flap over the CBS Bush memos, however, seems to call that all
into question. The documents CBS had insisted were authentic seem
pretty obvious forgeries and the further third parties investigate,
the more it seems that the entire process - the so called "layers
of editiorial control" were little more than empty claims.
Here's an article that argues that this CBS memo scandal may be the
moment that old media "jumped the shark".
