The Fourth of July

The Fourth of July, #Independence Day in the USA. A day to celebrate. Unfortunately, there are forces out there who are desperately trying to take all the festivities out of the celebrations. Measures are taken to insure the safety of the people celebrating. Police will be everywhere. It will cost millions of dollars to implement all this security. Everything because of a bunch of lunatics who have nothing better to do than to create chaos. I’m talking about the Islamic fashions that have been terrorizing the whole world now for years. Islam is a danger to world peace. There is no doubt about it. Has been for centuries, but only now it has flourished to this extreme. The Pope apologized for reading an old article that stated the same thing. He only spoke the truth. He should never have apologized.

The Christian Church has done its share of committing atrocities over the centuries, but they don’t accuse people anymore of being witches and they don’t burn anyone on the stake; neither do they torture people for criticising the Church, the Pope, and the religious leaders. The Church has evolved, adapted, became more peaceful and tolerant. Islam needs to do the same thing or there will never be peace on Earth.

We celebrated #Canada Day on July 1st. It is also an important day in our country. We went to the fireworks in Selkirk like we do every year. Before we go, we eat hot dogs and fries. It’s already a tradition with my wife and me. We used to go to Skinners in Lockport, known for the ‘Worlds best Footlong hotdog’, but the last time we went we paid $24.00 for 2 hotdogs, fries and drinks. The ‘famous’ hotdog tasted terrible. It was smothered with Mustard. And the fries were soggy. That’s when we decided to make our own.

The fireworks were spectacular as usual. There were quite a few more people there this year. Many are coming from Winnipeg now. My son and his kids are coming, too. They used to go to the Forks, but it is such a zoo there. Parking is terrible and getting worse with every year. Speaking of a zoo. City Park and the Zoo were free on Canada Day, but the same thing applies there: Lack of parking. We went one year, but after wasting nearly an hour to get into the park, we made a u-turn and drove to the entrance on Portage Ave. We parked on a side street and walked into the park. How parking is there now, I have no idea. Probably terrible.

Canada Day in Winnipeg was not peaceful, either. There was a Machete-wielding guy at the Forks where one guy got injured. A number of stabbings in other parts of the city, probably near downtown where are the undesirables hang out. Who the Hell carries a machete or a knife? Which normal person does that?

A couple of days ago a bomb exploded in a lawyer’s office. The woman has lost one hand and will probably lose the other one also. What is wrong with people? Is the whole world going crazy?

Happy 4th of July to all the Americans. I mean that.
