Montreal Police: A Little Confused
Media reports today say female police officers in Montreal are being told to call in their male counterparts to deal with uncooperative Hasidic Jews. You see, these zealous men just can't interact with females due to their religious beliefs. Well, I for one, think this is a seriously complex issue that calls for sensitive cross-cultural communication strategies and... ok- if you fell for that you've never been here before. My solution?
You move to Canada you respect our legal institutions and those that enforce the laws of the land. If you don't, you get your ass charged with obstruction of justice. Can you imagine a black kid in Regent Park refusing to look at or talk to a female police officer while being questioned? He'd be head-locked and handcuffed before you could say Rodney King is my daddy.
Aren't we in Afghanistan trying to stop the same kind of shit from happening? Why would we come down hard on Muslims for practicing Sharia Law, yet treat Hasidic Jews with kid gloves? While these imported religious based systems are effective at keeping the courts unclogged by certain civil disputes, we can't allow their use when it comes to criminal issues. I don't think most Jews or Muslims demand that either.
Neither should get preferential treatment. I say it's one country (well, one country with one nation within that country), one law (well, one special legal system for Quebec), and one way to deal with people who expect that they should be able to follow some extra-territorial law of their choosing. It's bullshit. Next thing you know, Libertarians will be refusing to pay taxes.
Is this really what Trudeau and the gropey-huggy-feely dudes had in mind in the 70s? Nuh uh. Multiculturalism is great, as long as it does not infringe on the constitutional or charter rights of others, or violate the laws of the land. Period. Don't like it? Blow me before leaving. Oh and make me a sandwich on your way out, would ya?
Disclaimer: Before anyone starts freaking the fuck out, I have to say, I am in no way suggesting that Hasidic Jews, en masse or singularly, are defying the law. My opinion is based solely on media reports about the police newsletter circulating in Montreal instructing officers that only males should deal with Hasidic Jews. The advice contained in that newsletter may be based purely on a few isolated experiences. I don't know.

Pretty much common sense, K-man...can't see anybody lucid freaking the fuck out. (Lol)
Having grown up in a very multi-cultural environment, pretty much the only thing I've had trouble getting my mind around are religions where women are considered a lesser life form. I find that just scary as fuck in 2006.
We're supposed to pay taxes?? When did that start?
Oh - JC- I see- you were one of those income trust fad jumpers huh?
I think secretly thats what these prejudice guys want... to be beaten to a pulp by a female.
You just know that these are the same type of fucks who go home, put on the panties and high heels, and stand at the door with the whip, waiting for the wife to come home and treat them bad.
Cowards.
I'm starting to think that Squid and JC may be the.....
SAME PERSON.
Re: taxes, I'm definitely better off struggling a bit with my own business and being able to write everything off than I was getting fucked hard up the ass by Rev Can as a salaried employee.
You know JC, they actually tax you as a "wealthy person" when you make a 60k salary....thereby ensuring you'll never be wealthy.
Leather- The only thing I'm saving for the bloget together is the unveiling of my new pubic hair sculpture.
Working titles are: Blonde Angel With Split Ends OR Hairy, Curly and Whoah!
**Sorry if that offends any Hasidic Jews or French police officers
By the way- at the Dirty Blog Off and Shooter Debacle, I plan to burn in effigy Cherniak's underpants.
Hey that would be a great band name:
Tonight at Sneaky Dee's:
Cherniak's Underpants featuring the Kinsella Brothers and Bob Rae.
Check out this site, there is a lot more there about this issue

He had this story first
Jack-o: Nice hit 'n run trolling whore promo. I like that in a casual passer-by.
When you say that guy got the story first though, you mean he was the first blogger to rip it from an MSM outlet though. Be specific now. It's no scoop, dude.
You compare me to Squid? I'm insulted... well, not really insulted persay, more miffed... well, not really miffed, more disappointed... well, actually what the hell was I talking about?
Cherniak Underpants.
Are those Depends?
JC: Not "compare"- equivocate. I have a problem with that....
You mean you suffer from equivocationitus? Does treating that result in any contraindications with your "Iamaslutoriasis" med's.
I can be grumpy, but even I'm never that grumpy KD.
So, is the " Big Blogger Bum Blast Degradation and Humiliation Fest, featuring Hydrant Puking tm." actually going to happen?
Hydrant puking? For real? It's been so long...
A few people are sitting in a bar when one guy says, "My name is Larry, and I am a SNAG."
Another guy says, "What's that?"
The first guy says, "That means I am a Single, New Age Guy."
Another one says, "My name is Gary, and I am a DINK.
A girl asks, "What's that?"
He says, "That means I am a Double Income, No Kids."
A lady says, "That's nice. My name is Gertrude, and I am a WIFE."
Larry says, "A wife? What's a wife?"
She says, "That means, 'Wash, Iron, Fuck, Etc."
PAMMIE- Last time we got together my friend puked on a hydrant and Leather wet-humped it right afterwards. Not pretty. And that was before dinner.
Man, I miss ALL the fun. I need to get the hell out of Eastern Ontario.
Ahh PAM- you're missing nothing. Truth be told, last time we went out Leather had a salad with low fat dressing and a glass of carrot juice. I had a piece of melba toast and a bottle of sparkling water. We talked mostly about the old days, occasionally glanced fearfully at young girls, and then had to leave at 6:30, because the salad had irritated Leather's hiatus hernia.
His caregiver Helga dropped me off at the home and we haven't seen each other since.
No Pam, he's right. What he doesn't know is that after I was dropped off, all the socializing had stressed me out so badly I ended up shitting the bed. I rolled around in my own shit with my mouth open, and contracted deadly e-coli. I'm still a bit shaky, but checking out girls again..
Much closer to the truth. Thanks, leather.
And thank you for reminding me to be grateful that I never shit the bed when I'm drunk.
Pam- I had my shame accidentally removed with my tonsils when I was 6.
Leather- LO-fucking-L!!!!!!
You know, sheena is the queen of zeitgeist smelling and all, but that pube sculpture comment was way too coincidental. At my "home" forum at www.sooeys.com I expounded upon the latest spa trend that Eckler DIDN'T mention: pube corn-rows. I like it, and am thinking about maybe calling up a few of TO's top posh spas to enquire about pricing. And then blogging about it, of course
I shaved mine into a mohawk and died it pink in the 80s. Then I realized, as a travelling musician, that carrying pubers around was like putting a neon Howard Johnson's sign on your belt buckle for crabs to stay over.
I shall remain smooth as a baby's bum now for the rest of my life!
K, it seems Robert M just ignored my email. I know you were looking forward to winning the best blog.
Next year, I will nominate you and then you can sit and continously vote for yourself. Each day vote twice once from home and once from office. And if you have two computers at home that means three votes per day. You could also persuade your coworkers at your workplace to vote for you so that means a lot of votes each day. that way I am sure you can beat Cherniak and SDA.
Thanks J- you are a sweetheart.
Someone nominated me for Best Blog (we know who)at the Web Awaerds and Best Canadian Blog, so don't worry I'll be bugging y'all about voting sooner than next year!
Bald is good... on women. On a guy KD... it's not natural man. Brush-cut.
JC- I told you dude - T.O. is not like Cow Town- we don't drive and all the men are bald and waxed from the waist down. Whereas, in Cow Town everyone drives and all the men have Sasquatches lurking in their trousers.
K, how would you know what lurks in the Wranglers of the West? Please, please tell me.
Sheena, if you haven't called the spa yet, please inquire about the prices of corn rows with beads. What a fun look.
We all? Were y'all sharing a bed? Were y'all sharing more than a bed?
True story- one night at dinner in some town, one crawled from one of this chick's eyebrows to the other as she ate a steak sitting across from us. She had just blown the guitar player...
What can I say, I'm like the Mohammed of scrotum gospel...
btw- was just checking my stats for the day and among all the search strings that found me today (mostly "hasidic and montreal") was another guy from Montreal who searched "how to shave my balls".
At least I'm good for something...
pubes and crabs!!!! my how the topic diverts. i won't tell you my crab story. nope. and back then the stuff for getting rid of them burned your privates right off. lucky mine regenerated but oh oh oh could you hear me screaming. i understadn things have improved.
That is the grossest crab story EVER, k-dough. Did you finish your meal? I bet you did.
Thankfully, I have NO crabs stories, but a married friend ended up with them after her husband was away on a business trip. He picked them up from the SHEETS in the Sheraton. And she believed him.
I beg to differ....The Dutch Mill in Trenton....THREE OF US got crabs from the fucking scum-hole beds.
I was in Trenton about five years ago, and drove by to see if the ol' Dutch Mill was still standing....totally gone. I'm sure it was torn down by the Ministry of Health.
Trenton? There was another place there as well. A hotel - there were no doors on the band accomodations and we shared that floor with strippers. Oh no- that was Doctor's in Belleville.
I think the place in Trenton was called Sherwood Forest.
I still have my top scum-hole list committed to memory. All involved a combination or one of the following:
-Sharing the floor with strippers
-Sharing the floor with bikers
-One or two (if you're lucky) "common bathrooms"
- horrendous wrist-slitting/heroin addict decor, where it only seems fitting to sleep with the stripper while drinking Jack Daniels right from the bottle
- bats flying around (no shit!):
- The Oxford in Woodstock
- Mingles in London
- Dutch Mill in Trenton
- The Maples (Mapes) in Pointe Claire
Oxford and Mingles still standing
