Crime Stoppers Video And Dense Internet Writers

There is a 'viral' Crime Stoppers video making the rounds that you likely have already seen regarding a burglary at Stelly's Supermarket. If not, it is here. Already there are some people saying it is a "Coca-Cola ad" because the officer in the video says, "...I'm gonna have a cheeseburger here with fries and a Coke..." at about the same time a Coca-Cola van drives into the shot.

This supermarket robbery was 'brought to you by Coca-Cola'

Is this police video about a local robbery actually a viral ad for Coke?

Too Good To Be True Small Town Crimestoppers Video Sparks "Is this a viral Coke Ad" Theories

The claim that is a "Coca-Cola ad" is based soley on a Coca-Cola van driving in and parking behind the officer. Let's ignore that this "Coca-Cola ad" theory is unfounded and asinine for a moment. 

Meet the ‘Cajun John Wayne,’ the deputy whose meme-worthy videos terrify criminals

Yes, he does say "Coke" in the video, naming one of the world's most popular soft drinks. A soft drink common to order with a burger and fries. Yes, the Coca-Cola van does arrive somewhat on time to his mentioning the Coke brand.

What also can be seen in the video is a Coca-Cola vending machine at the front of the store. The Coca-Cola van could be there to service the vending machine! Maybe the Coca-Cola van is delivering to the store!

There is also Budweiser truck and trailer parked in the background. If Lt. Higgins said "beer" insted of "Coke" would that make the video a "Budweiser ad"?

Lt. Higgins does patronize Stelly's, in business since 1920, and has a particular regard for Stelly's. Why isn't the video a "Stelly's Supermarket ad"?

Maybe next time instead of typing out a stupid theory these dense "Coca-Cola ad" writters could try typing a few words into an Internet search engine, or better yet, just try to think a little first. Sometimes, I don't think the Internet today would exist without its stupid.

Ontario's Outrageous Borrowing and Spending

Bloomberg News has reported the province of Ontario owes more money than not only any other province in Canada, but Ontario is in debt deeper than any government that is not a country

The Liberal government of Ontario has been in power since 2003, gained a baffling majority government in 2014, is scandal ridden and corrupt to its core. The government of Ontario keeps looking for more ways to tax the people, as it goes full speed ahead into a wall of debt that generations of people living in Ontario will have to pay.

Government like the one in Ontario have a huge advantage over the people whom they overtax, and what that is the people must pay their debt, or face the consequences. I don't mean a downgrade in a credit rating, that has happened to Ontario, or any little annoyance like that. I mean real bankruptcy. Most have to secure large loans. If the borrower defaults on a loan, the creditor has the right to seize assts of the borrower. Government sometimes does this to the people when tax is not paid, but it never happens to them.

Suppose the Ontario government, to pay for its multi-billion dollar spending, received a loan in which the government had to secure the loan with Algonquin Park. There might be outrage from the public, and the government would be told by the people not to borrow so much money and to control its spending. Suppose the Ontario went ahead and secured the loan with Algonquin Park.

Suppose the loan was defaulted by the government who had taxed the people so much that there wasn't any tax revenue left to repay the loan. Suppose the creditors, fearing they would never get paid back the billions of dollars they loaned to the Ontario government, petitioned the Ontario government into bankruptcy, and the Court ordered the secured asset of Algonquin Park seized. Suppose the end result was Algonquin Park being sold in full, or in parts, and the money went to pay the creditors. The people might riot. This is not the way it works in the real world.

I do not think we need the government to secure its loans to have better government. I think we need people to demand better government. That day might come, but right now, I am not very hopeful it will come anytime soon. The Liberal government is determined to borrow and spend billions more in the next few years, and I see no end in sight.

2015 Pan Am Games Metaphoric Opinion

The 2015 Pan Am Games have ended in Toronto, marking the end of a controversial event. The 2015 Pan Am Games were the most expensive Pan Am Games in its history costing upwards of $3 billion, and rising, as the final cost of the games has not come in. The games were paid for by every taxpayer in Canada.

If one lived in Canada outside of the province of Ontario, one paid once (Federal tax money). If one lived inside of Ontario, but outside of Toronto, one paid twice (Federal and Provincial tax money). If one lived in Toronto, one paid three times (Federal, Provincial, and Municipal tax money).

I started to write a full commentary on the 2015 Pan Am games, but instead I think I will keep it short for now, and I will use an old Staples TV commercial as a metaphor to try to explain my opinion of the 2015 Pan Am Games. 

Staples Citi Rewards mastercard TV Ad

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dz4XJcLAOo0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If you want the breakdown of how I see it:

The spoiled rich girl represents the 2015 Pan Am Game supporters, organizers, and participants.

The girl's party represents the opulent 2015 Pan Am Games that made it the most costly Pan Am Games ever.

The father's concern regarding the expense of his daughter's party represents the concern of the tax money cost of the Pan Am Games, and the girl's flippant reaction to her father's concern represents the Pan Am Games supporters reaction to the tax money concern.

The girl saying, "Look at me, I'm cooking!" to the camera represents the athletes in the Pan Am Games, the lack of public interest in the Pan Am Games, and that the Pan Am Games did not sell all of its tickets.

The girl's fake justification of her party spending to her father is if he puts the huge cost of her party on his "Staples card", he can get 'rewards points' to buy her school supplies so she will "...do better next term" in school. This represents the main argument Pan Am Games supporters used for the games being that it will be worth the high cost because of the "benefit" of infrastructure built and facilities left from the games. Since all three levels of government that contributed tax money to the Pan Am Games are in debt, it is like putting the cost of the games on a credit card that already has a high unpaid balance. 

The girl's last remark, "As if" to the camera after telling of her 'justifying' her expensive party to her father means what she told her father she knows isn't true, but she wants to have her lavish party, and she knows she is able to manipulate her father into always giving her what she wants. This represents the Pan Am Games supporters, organizers, and participants who know the games will not leave behind any legacy except massive public debt, but they only care that they get their extravagant games paid for by taxpayers.

Not Everyone Loves A Parade

A street near my apartment closed for a parade. I went to the City website to find out what it was for, and how long it would last. Of course, there is no information on the website about the road closure. As I looked from my apartment window at the closed street, I thought, "Pride parade", and shook my head. What else could it have been?

I don't have any issue with Pride parades, if they are not taxpayer funded in any way, and that goes for all parades. I just don't understand the reason for Pride parades. Some people in the world are homosexuals. And? Sexual orientation for me is a complete non-issue. Any excuse for a parade, I guess.

The parade had a lack of turn out of spectators, in my area anyway, with only a few handfuls of people here and there along the street. I took frequent glances out my closed apartment window to see if the parade was over yet. The closing of the window was to block any parade noise, but it was getting even hotter in my appartment with the window closed. The parade was start and stop, as the ordinary looking people waving the occasional flag walked slowly behind a nondescript vehicle, or two people holding a banner. The missing enthusiasm was apparent.

Education To Indoctrination

And we take no heed of the law which says that men may not think of women, save at the Time of Mating. This is the time each spring when all the men older than twenty and all the women older than eighteen are sent for one night to the City Palace of Mating. And each of the men have one of the women assigned to them by the Council of Eugenics. Children are born each winter, but women never see their children and children never know their parents. Twice have we been sent to the Palace of Mating, but it is an ugly and shameful matter, of which we do not like to think.

- Anthem by, Ayn Rand.

When I was in elementary school, sex education was a class taught at around the time puberty was expected, and it was taught more as anatomy. A qualified sex education teacher came into the classroom to teach the lessons that were objective. We were always encouraged to ask questions, and we were also allowed to do so anonymously. Of course, the joke "Why can't men have babies?" question was always submitted, but most questions asked anonymously were serious. The new sexual education the Ontario Liberial government wants to start at the First Grade, building on the Progressive Conservative sex education curriculum of 1998 (Liberials and PCs have the same ideology), contains far more than anatomy.*

Children are to be taught as part of the sexual education curriculum, including other peculiar subjects, 'consent' when the children cannot legally consent to sexual activity because they are not of the age of consent. A child at the age this is going to be taught to has no understanding of what she or he could be consenting to. It seems Premiere Wynne came up with this bizarre idea of 'consent' being taught during a brief Twitter exchange with two below the age of consent Grade Eight girls.

Some have argued this prepares the child for the time the child can understand consent. I argue that if a child can't understand what someone is attempting to teach the child, how is it going to prepare the child for when the child can understand? The 'prepare' arguement to me is like telling a five year old child how to complete an income tax return.

"Affirmative consent", that has been promoted at colleges and universities since it started at one college in 1993, is more than just grammatical nonsense, asinine, and an attack on personal liberty.

Having read the parts of the curriculum, it is clear to me it has little to do with education, and it has a lot to do with indoctrination of children in school that has been happening in earnest for about 30 years, but has now reached a high mark. The far left-wing ideology contained in the curriculum, with an extreme radical left-wing feminist influence of "afirmative consent", is quite apparent to most anyone who reads it.

I think it should be every parent's right to allow or not their children's participation in this curriculum. If I had children, I would refuse to allow my children to be indoctrinated instead of educated. My children would not belong to the state, or anyone else.

Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a bandage for their wounds. I am not a sacrifice on their altars.

* The Ontario Liberial government tried to introduce an almost identical curriculum in 2010, but it was withdrawn because of public oposition to it.

Audio: Robert Metz on the Live Drive with Andy Oudman re:

North Korea's Ontario

Contrary to popular belief, freedom is not always lost overnight; it can be slowly lost over many nights. Each day one wakes to find one small piece of freedom gone is one day closer to when one will awake to no freedom left at all.

My comparisons of Ontario's Liberal government to a communist/socialist government (communism and socialism are essentially the same thing, just the way they take hold is usually different) that is taking Ontario down the road to no freedom is commonly laughed at and mocked by others. The 'reds under your bed' is the type of response I receive to my assertions that Ontario is ruled by a communism/ socialism government, led by Premier Kathleen Wynne whom I seriously call, "Comrade Wynne".

I might be accused of being a right-wing Progressive Conservative supporter. I am not. I think the Ontario PCs are just as bad as the Liberals, even worse. Most of the government socialism in Ontario, was created by PC governments who once held power in Ontario for more than 40 consecutive years.

Truth be told, I vote Freedom Party in Ontario elections because I believe Ontario has long been a province moving away from freedom, not towards freedom. The current Ontario government shows no sign that this is changing.

How a defector from North Korea realized almost everything she learned about her country was a lie

The government initiated a wide public education campaign — “Let us eat two meals a day” was the slogan, accompanied by information on how eating less was healthier.

All her education and the propaganda told her North Korea was the greatest country on Earth, its leader could change the weather and her homeland was a beacon of light in a world immersed in darkness.

Does any of that sound similar to this?

Helping Ontarians Make Informed Nutritional Choices

Ontario is requiring large chain food service premises, like fast food restaurants, to post calories on menus to help Ontarians to make well-informed choices about what they eat and feed their children. The Making Healthier Choices Act:

Climate change

To fight climate change -- one of the greatest challenges mankind has faced -- Ontario is putting a limit on the main sources of greenhouse gas pollution through a cap and trade system to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the health of our children and grandchildren.

The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change protects and improves the quality of the environment. We also coordinate Ontario's actions on climate change in the name of healthier communities, ecological protection and economic prosperity.

It should. It is the same communist/socialist/dictatorship ideology.

Only 38.65% of eligible voters cast a vote for the Liberals in 2014. Of all eligile voters, 51.2% voted, and 61.35% did not cast a vote for the Liberals. The Liberials have a majority government, and have been in power since 2003.

North Korea's Communist state one-man dictatorship has ruled the country for 70 years. North Korea also has 'elections'. I bet the dictatorship government of North Korea always gets '100 percent' of the vote.

Hyeonseo Lee knows how valuable freedom really is. I think it is about time the people of Ontario knew this too.

More Ontario Corporate Welfare

I know it is an overused phrase, but here we go again. The Ontario government is forcing taxpayers of the province to fund Premier Kathleen (Comrade) Wynne's corporate welfare programme.

Ontario Government Investing $3 Million in PepsiCo Foods Canada Plant Province Supporting Agri-Food Innovation in Rural Ontario

The Ontario government is investing $3 million in PepsiCo Foods Canada's Cambridge manufacturing plant, joining the company which is also making a significant investment in a project to modernize the plant, increase productivity and protect good jobs in the agri-food sector.

Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the funding today in Cambridge. The plant, which manufactures Frito-Lay products, employs more than 550 people. The investment, provided through the Rural Economic Development program, is expected to secure these jobs. The investment will be used by the PepsiCo Foods Canada plant in Cambridge to:

Modernize the food processing facility to meet world-class food safety standards in seasoning and delivery and improve product quality

Modify the plant in preparation for the future installation of a high-speed packaging system that will deliver more efficiencies and growth

Improve the Cambridge plant's competitiveness in the Frito-Lay North America manufacturing network.

Yes, you read that right, PepsiCo Foods whose stock is currently trading at close to $100 per share was given $3 million in tax money so PepsiCo can produce more snack food. If you are familiar with the Ontario government's war on what it calls unhealthy foods I don't need to explain the hypocrisy of this.

I do not oppose people choosing to eat snack foods, and I do not support the Ontario government's anti-free choice policies.

Once again, (there is a long and increasing list) the Ontario government gave away tax money to a corporation that should not have it. Government picking winners and losers. 

I wonder how Pepsi's competitors feel about being forced to pay for Pepsi's Cambridge plant, that could put some of them out of business, with their taxes?

Bicycle Bait Thief

Anyone who has ever owned a bicycle in this city has been the been the victim of a bike theft, or knows someone who has. Bicycles get stollen from everywhere one could imagine, and from some places one would never think a scum bicycle thief would go.

Here is a London (Ontario) Police Service surveillance video of a "bait bike" being stollen right in front people by an obviously amateur bicycle thief.

The time he is allowed to work on the lock without anyone calling the cops or confronting him surprises me. I suppose all the people with a cell phone these days don't use the phone to call the police when they see suspicious activity; if they even see it at all. The good news is it was all a set up for the low life, and the cops had him in their net. As the bicycle thief casually rides off, two officers on bicycles themselves, intercept him before he gets away. 

While it tends to make most people watching the video feel good to see a slimy bicycle thief get nailed, the truth is it is very rare bicycle theft ends up that way, and even if it does, the thief is usually back on the street stealing bicycles in no time. Does anyone really think this was the first time he stole a bicycle or was arrested? He was also charged with breach of recognizance.

I always will call the cops when I see suspicious activity, or when I suspect a crime is being committed. The police will come and handle it. One never knows, I might be lucky and get to watch the criminal get taken apart by someone who shouldn't have been messed with while I am waiting for the police to arrive. It happens sometimes.

One of the reasons I left Facebook years ago was my concern regarding my privacy. It seems Facebook may have kept all my information over the years even though I told Facebook to delete it all. Facebook kept my email address so it could send me this message.

Does my Facebook account still exist after I thought I deleted it? Is someone trying to hack into my still existing Facebook account that wasn't really deleted even after I went through the Facebook deletion process? Is this some kind of decietful way Facebook is using to try to get me back?

I wouldn't touch Facebook with a ten foot pole.

Save VIA Rail Privatize it

Passenger rail was once very profitable, and both Canadian National Railway (CNR)  and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) were heavily invested in passenger rail service for much of their more than century histories competing fiercely with each other over the passenger rail service. Other railways, now long gone, also provided passenger rail service.

Demand for passenger rail service in Canada has been declining opposite the rise in popularity of the automobile since the 1930s.  In the 1940s and 1950s passenger rail demand hit a rapid decline. By the 1960s, ridership had fallen to the point it was no longer financially feasible to operate a passenger rail service. Passenger rail service in Canada almost ended at this time. 

In 1977, the Canadian government deemed passenger rail an "essential service" and formed VIA Rail, a Crown corporation that has since provided the only passenger rail service in Canada.  VIA Rail is a federal government owned and subsidized company, and has endured many years of government budget cuts, unprofitable operations, and long term debt. Once again, there is government funding being injected into the money losing VIA Rail to great applause by those who believe the deliverance of VIA Rail from ruin is forcing the taxpayer pay the bill.

More trains in the works for Sarnia, says VIA boss

As a Crown corporation, VIA Rail is a 38 year financial failure. Canada's two largest freight railways, CN and CP, both former Crown corporations themselves, left the passenger rail service decades ago because of low financial returns. CN operates a small passenger rail service, Algoma Central Railway, but only because the service is subsidized by the government of Canada like VIA Rail is. CP only operates a profitable luxury tourist passenger service the Royal Canadian Pacific. If there was money to be made in the general passenger rail service in Canada, both CN and CP would still be offering that service, and other railways like Goderich-Exeter Railway (GEXR) would also be providing the service.

After CN and CP were privatized they could have failed, but instead they succeeded. I think VIA Rail could be successful as a passenger rail service if it is cut loose from the volatile government budgets and federal government control it must operate under, and if VIA Rail is forced to make a profit like a private company is. I believe VIA Rail has at its core the knowledge and ability to be a profitable private passenger rail company. However, groups like RAIL (Rail Advocates In Lambton) are not advocating privatization of VIA Rail, but instead want to force people who choose not the ride the train to pay for someone else's ticket.

In 2010, VIA Rail Canada reported revenues of $274.4 million and a loss of $261.5 million. The federal government provided $261.5 million in operating funding and $268.6 in capital funding.

In 2010, VIA Rail Canada, experienced a 1.3% decrease in passenger-miles, while increases in the average fare resulted in a 3.2% increase in passenger revenues.

VIA Rail completed $300-million infrastructure upgrades in its Montreal–Ottawa–Toronto corridor, and opened a new $750,000 station in Smiths Falls, Ontario.

VIA Rail also announced a series of new marketing-oriented initiatives and service agreements to improve customer service and productivity. These include new partnerships with GO Transit in Toronto and bus services in western Canada to integrate travel connections, improvements to on-board customer Internet access through Wi-Fi, and the use of new social media forums such as Twitter and Facebook.

There were 13 commuter rail lines operating in Canada and serving the Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver metropolitan areas. In 2010, they carried 64.3 million passengers.

There is a statement I am attempting to make here with this short music playlist. A statement about what I believe the United States of America once was, what She is, and what She needs to be again; before our enemies, those waging total war against Her and Her allies, defeat Her completely from within. If America loses its freedom, the strongest, most free nation in the world, we all have lost our freedom.

The Unwieldy Sword Of Justice

Paul McKeever wrote a blog entry about a scumbag who broke into his friend's car, smashing a window, and stole a number of items. (Punching the other cheek: An open letter to a thief

I like to think I know one or two things about criminals. I have studied a lot about them, and I don't exactly live in a good neighbourhood. I also know a little about the 'justice' Paul McKeever believes the thief is in for.

The police have to enforce so many laws, they do not have time nor the resources to go after every single criminal; so they don't. This type of crime does not figure high on the police list of priorities. The best Paul McKeever's friend is going to get out of the justice system is a police report. 

I personally know of much more serious thefts, those in the thousands of dollars, that the police or the Crown have inexplicably refused to deal with. Even if there is a trial and conviction, the criminal walks in no time, unless the crime was heinous. I bet the thief already has an arrest record. Criminals are not deterred by prison, the police, nor the courts. The criminal knows the court system better than the victim does. Our overloaded justice system is not a deterrent for the criminal, it is an inconvenience. 

My comment to Paul McKeever would be with the odds so heavily stacked in favour of the criminal, the lowlife who stole from his friend has nothing to fear from the law, even if he is caught.

The sword of justice is only of use when it is wielded. Too many times the sword of justice is left lying.

Another more common vein of car crimes is the window smasher. Where you are determines if the sucker will have the courtesy to wait until you're out of the car before he smashes the window. Protecting you car from smashers can be accomplished by storing everything under the seats or, even better, in the trunk. In the more despondent parts of town, you don't even want to leave clothing visible to tempt smashers. A street addict or homeless person will bust your window to get a jacket on a cold winter's day. Crack is cheap, so anything of value can be ripped off to sell.

The best deterrent to criminals is to make it look as if you have nothing they want. If everything worth stealing is hidden away in the trunk, the roaming window smasher is going to move on to another car. Your average window smasher is either a kid or a street addict. Neither one cares that he is going to cost you $100 for a new window plus whatever it is he takes. Take a walk through a parking lot and you'll be amazed at the incredible array of things that people leave sitting out in plain sight.
