    Dear Mr. Prime Minister, you suck!

    Conservative Party of Canada
    #1204 - 130 Albert Street
    Ottawa, ON  K1P 5G4

    Dear Prime Minister Harper:

    This letter is meant to bring to your attention the plight of our Gay and Lesbian, Transgendered and Questioning residents in Canada.

    I am a first year Social Service Work student at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario currently working on a LGBTTIQQ project researching community programs available to the LGBTTIQQ community. I was appalled to find out that, as a heterosexual married female I am offered mid-level health care, and I will admit I take it for granted—but to find out that services that specifically catered to the LGBTTIQQ community were cut off by your Conservative Government. Community non-profit organizations such as the Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition have laid off their entire staff members, because your government has decided the rights of Homosexual Canadians aren’t as important as the rest of us Heterosexuals.

    Mr. Harper, I know your stance on Gay Rights, and you are entitled to your opinion, however off-track and misguided as your religious standpoints are; but that being said, who are you to decide that regular Homosexual taxpaying, law abiding citizens are not as valuable as his or her neighbour? Yes, you’re the Prime Minister, and congratulations on attaining that title, but people expect you to be unbiased and focused on the wellbeing of all Canadians, regardless of their sexual orientation, religion or colour.

    I would like to remind you that 50 years ago African Canadians were in the same boat. Can you honestly say that such backward thinking as not providing Homosexuals the right to access health services that pertain to them is right? Is it politically correct? Is it fair?

    No, it isn’t. There are many Women related health non-profit organizations that are still being funded, many Cancer related health non-profit organizations are still up and running, why choose to cut an entire area of health directed towards Canadian Homosexuals? I am not saying that the above mentioned non-profit organizations deserve funding cuts, but perhaps you would not look so one sided if you had spread the funding cuts across the entire spectrum of non-profit organizations, instead of focusing on one area. Or, perhaps you could have not cut funding at all? I’m sure we would have passed on the expensive Canadian Olympic opening act if it meant one group of people were to be singled out and oppressed.

    I pay my taxes, I vote, I work hard, go to school, volunteer my time and I am a Heterosexual, and I believe the rights of Homosexuals are being infringed. I am the new wave of Canadian Mr. Harper, and you are in dangerous waters if you think your way of thinking is the way our great country is going.

    I love my neighbour, whether or not he has a wife or a husband, reads a bible or Quran, wears a wig or a turban. Can you honestly say you do?

    I do not expect a reply back, I do not even expect your eyes to view my argument, but consider this a warning that your way of life is coming to an end, that one day Canadian’s will rise up and open their minds to all individuals and accept all people as they are. Perhaps then we won’t need to fight wars and terrorism. Your point of view will be outdated. It’s up to you as a political figure to change with the times, to stay current. If you like your job, you will heed my warning.


    Sincerely,


    Kala Bennett-Alexander

    10 things I want to do before I die

    Sunday, October 25, 2009

    With everyone and their cousin getting the H1N1 (get better Ange and Jacob!), and that poor 13 year old boy in Toronto dying from H1N1 when he was in perfect health, its got me thinking of what I would want to do if I knew when I was going to die.

    10 things I want to do Before I die.

    1. Do a missionary trip.  I'd love to travel somewhere like Africa or Peru and help the residents of the place I'm visiting some how.  Perhaps with Doctors without boarders (although I'm not a doctor...but I do fluff a mean pillow!) or Amnesty International. This ties in with my need to help other's, and although I know I'm going to die, although I don't know when, I do plan to do a trip somewhere to help someone out.

    2. View the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. I love art, and I love museums.  Of all the grand museums in the world, the Louvre makes me giddy and jealous of anyone who's every stepped foot inside its archways. One day I will too. But until then, I will put it on my bucket list, and hope to god I see Mona Lisa smile before I hit the dirt.

    3. Learn to communicate fluently in oral and written  French.
    I loved French as a young child and found myself shy away from in early in highschool as I hated my french teacher.  I love the language, and even now I sometimes get the urge to pick up a french dictionary and see how much I still remember from all those years of learning it.  I think I would like to enroll my children in french immersion so at least they can get to experience the other cultural and language experience in Canada.

    4. Raise a family
    As silly as you may think this sounds, as I could choose to do anything in the world on my bucket list;  I want to leave a legacy.  I know theres something different within myself and I would like to perhaps procreate and maybe pass on my values and beliefs to my future children.  I want to leave a mark on this place, and what better mark to make than to pass on your genes! Go genetics!

    5. Witness the cure for Cancer
    I would love to finally know that the number one killer disease in all of the world could be fought and won and all that progress was made by simple human beings with the knowledge to learn and overcome.  This should be number one on my list. It wouldn't bring the people that have already past from cancer back, but it would make me feel better knowing my love ones will have a way to survive without me. :( Not saying I could cure cancer, its just a comfort thing.

    6. Perform on Broadway
    I'd love to belt out a sunny Annie tune or rock out on broadway. Just once.  I don't have the greatest voice, but I sure would love to focus my acting chops on some sort of ballsy out-there kind of broadway production. Maybe something with Matthew Broderick.... hint hint. lol

    7. Win the Lottery ( a big one, like 88mil)
    If I won the lottery, so many of the people I love and cherish would be set for life.  You better believe if I love you, you wouldn't be worrying about your shitty car, or your inability to pay bills, pay for school, food etc. I'd be all over that like white on rice.  And don't think I wouldn't leave my favourite LGBT charities out and my parents wouldnt have to work another day in their lives I can garentee that.

    8. Witness the disolve of the American Oil War
    If we could only see past the dollar signs and the crappy footprints the Bush administration left behind, we might be in a better place, economically, mentally, and canadian-ally....

    9. Witness the disolve of global warming!
    This goes along with my wish to have a family legacy.  I can't have a legacy if my world decides its going to burn up and die now can I?

    10. Start my own political party and run Canada
    You better believe I'd be equal rights, equal pay for women, liberal acts and predjudices aside, I'd kick some ass. Better bet your ass smoking tobacco would be illegal, cause if the green ain't legal, neither is tobacco in my imaginary Canadaland.


    So thats all I could think of.  No I dont want the typical sky diving, or whatever. I basically just want to know when I die....I can just die, and that I don't have to worry about those I leave behind.  I'm not even sure if I can worry about those I leave behind in the afterlife, but we can think about it in the sense that I think perhaps I could remember and feel for my legacy and past life.....in the afterlife lol.

    I know these are highly untainable in my lifetime, so maybe I should procreate, so some part of me can witness the great feats man has to come.


    in memory of uncle Pearce Young. May you rest in peace, we will love and miss you forever.

    Hell is eternal, just like Marriage should be

    Please watch this absolutely hilarious, and frighteningly true video regarding a spoof 2010 California Marriage Protection Act Public Service Announcement.
    For those that are slow out there, this is not real. It is, in itself a message: If gay Americans aren't allowed to smear the vows of traditional marriage, why should straight people be allowed to smear the sanctity of marriage by getting divorced? I would say that you can't have your pie and eat it too bitches!

    "You said till death do us part.... your not dead yet" ha-ha.


    Of course, if this was something serious, I'd be totally against this. I make my living off of divorce and marital disputes, and if California does it, the rest of the world may follow, ha-ha. Without divorce I wouldn't have a job, and that would make me just another victim of government.

    My message is this as a straight woman, to be wed in less than a year from now. If my love for my partner rescinds, I should have the right to leave that situation. Or perhaps if I am abusive to my partner, he has the right to leave. According to the church, we are, in essence crumbing the sanctity of marriage, turning it into a "farce". Of course I believe in divorce. I just don't believe in Jackass Divorces. a.k.a stupid people that don't divorce AMICABLY. The more fighting, the more dinero comrades! Think EASY DIVORCE, LESS MONEY, LESS STRESS. Of course I canvas this option to EVERYONE that calls the office every day, whether or not they are going to be a potential client or not. I just hate seeing the kids involved in monumental disputes, but anyway I went off on a tangent, back to the main issue.

    So, in essence we should allow Gays to marry, because if we are going on the common stance “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve”, which is surely the whole “protecting the sanctity of marriage” thing, than in retrospect the biggest downfall to marriage these days is DIVORCE, so we should get rid of divorce since its cancerous, supposedly as is Gay Marriage. But of course that would infringe on our CHARTER OF HUMAN RIGHTS. Oh wait… isn’t denying homosexuals the right to marry an infringement on their rights and freedoms? …HMM…

    Touché my friend.
