Toronto produces some stupid politicians

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.03.27

Today wasn't a day of big accomplishments for Toronto-area politicians. On the federal level, we have this accomplishment: being the only country to pull out (and sneakily at that) of a UN treaty on combating desertification. Meanwhile, the mayor has another proud moment: the school where he insists on coaching the football team is meeting to decide if they want a drunk with a police record, who says insulting things about the school to remain in charge of the team. Unsurprisingly.

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.
