I mailed him a parcel last Sunday. Speaking to him last night "Don't worry Pa, I haven't received any of the parcels people sent me yet...".
Canada Post. Your new slogan: "Some of the Mail, Some of the Time". "Maybe". "All of the flyers, All of the Time:".
Still no response to my query, via your webform, sent last Sunday or thereabouts. Not by email or mail (you know better, I know) or phone or at all.
You know, there should be a fee to use the word Canada or Canadian, a Tax, it used to be a mark of distinguishment, now when people hear it they imagine a bunch of clowns running into one another with their dicks out in a circus ring. Think of Canadian Tire, and their upside-down triangle shaped tire. That isn't a logo, that's what they think a tire looks like. OR the Canadian Government, with Stephen Harper screaming:
"Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff."
Yep. Human rights are scary Mein Fuhrer. Lets not call this "The Canadian Government", call it instead an experiment in right wing futility and dictatorship. So I would suggest re-branding your mail "delivery/loss/parcel-appropriation program" "Maybe?". People will say: "How you gonna ship that" and we'll say "Maybe". Which means, really, find another fucking delivery service, but it doesn't embarrass us, the nation, any further. We've got the government and Canadian Tire working on that, thank you very much.

C-51, the antithesis to "Home of the Free". Harper's Dystopia, and by even writing this I risk becoming a victim of his Orwellian policies. Appalling that the Liberals in any way endorsed this...

He's the new village idiot of sorts, 19 years old, wanders aimlessly about the kitchen between the dishwashing and salad station, hardly working, you'd need a time-lapse camera to actually see him in any way contributing to the workload...lives at home, spare time spent on the X-Box or computer, editor for 4Chan & Reddit, not exactly stupid, but something's missing...
He walks, lumbers, shuffles, slowly, a psych patient in a psych ward, arms hang by his side, bent 90 degrees at the elbow and again at the wrist, reminding you of the T-Rex toy from Toy-Story, he's painfully slow at whatever he's told to undertake (and that's the only way they'll be undertook, in 4 months he hasn't figured out what exactly his routine should be), he meanders without a speck of motivation whatsoever, is happy to stop and chat and catch up, he's good natured enough, takes our ribbing, laughs, how could he not? Little Ralphie Wigham, this was the kid that got his tongue stuck to the monkeybars every recess, every winter until Grade 12. Not surprisingly, this is the longest he's held a job. He corners me as I'm outside trying to have a cigarette...explaining to me:
"You know, often people who try and blow their brains out recover and find that they managed to get rid of whatever it was that was bothering them..."
He knows this, he saw it on the internet, a thread on reddit or some-such...
Essentially, it's curing themselves through suicide. I can't believe he's telling me this, and I'm torn...
"Did you try this?" I ask, "Because if you did, it would explain an awful lot...Otherwise, I think you're just tempting me to recommend it to you..."
