American Thinker:
“Health Canada considers sweeping ban on junk food ads aimed at children and teens.” So reads the headline at CBC News. And with that matter-of-fact announcement — just a normal day’s political news in the true north weak and socialist — a nation quietly declares itself lost to freedom forever. D-Day memories of the brave Canadians at Juno Beach washed away in a tide of authoritarian progressivism. Freedom traded for paternalistic social engineering in the name of protecting children from over-salted cheese.
“Most of the foods that are marketed to kids are these ones that are high in fat, high in sugar, high in sodium, so that’s what we’re looking at,” said Hasan Hutchinson, director general at Health Canada, who is overseeing the consultations.
“That would then cut out all of the things like, of course, your regular soda, most cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, ice cream, most cheeses because they are high in fat, they’re high in salt,” he said.
Health Canada would also target foods such as sugar-sweetened yogurt, frozen waffles, fruit juice, granola bars and potato chips.
When Canada elected Justin Trudeau, the foppish son of the foppish Maoist Pierre, I warned that what little was left of Canada as a representative democracy was on the verge of being swept into the ash heap of history by a wave of kneejerk neo-Marxist populism — imagine Barack Obama without any constitutional limits.

True DOH!!
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – C.S. Lewis
There have never been truer words spoken.
Cookies are a Symbol of Western Oppulence Anyway,
Give them Mud Pies !
So, are they going to shutter all of the Tim Horton donut shops that are the Canadian equivalent to Starbucks?
Oh, Canada.
Swell. Now we got a media-influenced, Manure-Spreading, Mangina-toting, Moisturizing-Metrosexual Maoist in America’s hat!
I’d like some sugar-cured Canadian bacon right now.
Too bad our northern friends can’t have any.
Hey little boy, why don’t you try to figure out how you are going to meet your NATO obligations before you try to run everyone’s life?
Why spoiled children never make good leaders.
He should ban his pig-nosed wife from singing in public for the good of everyone.
It’s Canada, so who gives a shit. I certainly don’t give a shit about any other nation on this planet unless they are trying to invade our borders. We have enough problems of our own without worrying about the socialist assholes to the north, concentrate on the US and get our shit straightened out first, then deal with other nations.
“Justin Trudeau, the foppish son of the foppish Maoist Pierre”
More likely the son of murdering commie Fidel Castro, but who knows, with all the DNA in that soup, his father could have been almost anyone.
And as we all know, if you don’t advertise these things, children won’t want them.
AKA, Turdeau.
Can they annex New Yawk to canaduh?
If they keep this up we’ll need a wall along the northern boarder, too.

Like Louisiana, though, we could sell it to them. Don’t even need their say in it. Federal supremacy, and all. I think a few golden tuques would be fair.
Of course, that would cut Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine off by land from the rest of America. I guess we could reconstitute the lot into East Alaska. Or, Canada (quit humming!) could sweeten the deal. Say, throw in some back bacon, French toast, a couple a turtlenecks, and a beer, and they can have it all.

That’s it! Time for a few donuts and smokes.
