Troofer turfed: A candidate for the Greenery-Yallery Party has caught heck due to the free expression of his beliefs about “da Jews”. From the Globe and Mail (my bolds):

VANCOUVER, TORONTO -- The Green Party announced yesterday that it would drop John Shavluk, its nominee in the suburban Vancouver riding of Newton-North Delta, as a candidate over an allegedly anti-Semitic remark in a years-old blog post.

During a 2006 Internet exchange with a policeman in Washington, D.C., about conspiracy theories on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Mr. Shavluk wrote: "hey i heard some guy in Australia knows someone who says he had something to do with your governments complicate attack on your shoddily built Jewish world bank headquarters. you know 'the 2 towers' (who has the ring I wonder) better invade there too eh,,oh no oil?..."

In a press release, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May called the comments "anti-Semitic."

She said she had spoken to Mr. Shavluk and explained that his views were not consistent with Green Party philosophy. "I will not sign his nomination papers and the Green Party will nominate another candidate."

Mr. Shavluk, 51, was outraged by the decision and categorically denied that his blog posting was anti-Semitic. He said he was merely parroting what others had been saying…

Exactly. Shavluk’s mistake: He didn’t realize that here in Canada only Muslims are given leave to “parrot” such words in public. Now, if he had limited his comments to “the Zionists,” there would have been no problem.

Live and learn, eh, John?

Update: Some more "deep thoughts" from the former candidate/atheist/wacky weed enthusiast--a peroration about how we're here for a good time, not a long time. Or something like that:

the coming apocalypse??

what do i know ,,zip,,

I'm no soooothsayer

all i look at is our past ,,
human past and that it seems to repeat

grow , kill-off , grow , kill-off ,

one hundred years ago we were all on horseback

one hundred years from now we could be again

although we will eat all of those by then and just have to make all the brown eyed people the horses,,,hahahahaha
what would be the difference?

didn't the people that had a golden cow as their god hate the ones who's god was a bird,,,hmmm what did they both switch to,,oh yeah right

the end is a personal matter for all of us, if we are lucky

i am so egotistical ,,, i think when i die ,,,,
my egg opens and i am ready to party

what all these questioners here fail to realize is the freedom one gets in this existence with certain beliefs and they also fail to realize

i may in fact be right!!! as no one really knows,,,,
oh , lots saying they do know ,,,but you and i both know ,,they don't


its the moments we created with other people
that we string together
between holocausts
that we will cherish and saver
when our time is done ,,,nothing else will matter
