Canuck Overview

October 1, 2021 Kim du Toit Elections

Da Tech Guy has a funny albeit telling post about the recent elections in the Snowy North:

Basically Trudeau’s liberals stayed where they were with the most seats but not the majority that he was hoping for. Meanwhile conservatives who thought a bit ago that they might end up winning stayed right where they were.

The funny part comes at the very end, and features Mitt Romney.

I normally give Canadian election results only a cursory look, but I have to admit to being surprised that His GirlyBoyness got reelected. Have all Canuckis gone horribly Left? I asked myself.

Now I know how it happened.

Quote Of The Day

September 30, 2021 Kim du Toit QOTD

From Steve Sailer:

“Wokeism is simply the ideological rationalization of white dispossession.”

Quite right. Also the preceding sentence in the article:

“White-run countries in Europe, North America, and the Antipodes are the best places in the world, so the rest of the world wants to take them away from whites.”

Let’s expand the thought a little:

Western culture is by far the greatest and most beneficial social system ever to be created for mankind, so let’s destroy it so we can all be equally miserable and impoverished.

Feel free to try to prove me (or Sailer) wrong.

“Dear Dr. Kim”

September 30, 2021 Kim du Toit Advice

Dear Dr. Kim:

My late Mother-In-Law was basically a Dem party communist. Incapable of departing the party line. As such she was a GFW.
Therefore my #2 wife was scared of guns. Prior to us getting married, when she found out I had guns she said I would be getting rid of them, to which my response was “I’ll get rid of you before I get rid of them”. The subject was dropped, the marriage went forward.
Fast forward to 10 years later. Some of Wife’s lady-friends talked her into going to an Enhanced Concealed Carry Class. We attended last Sunday.

My problem is this. Now my wife is hooked. We spent yesterday afternoon watching Glock videos. She now wants a Glock. In Europellet caliber. Frankly I’m torn. I never liked the Glock feel, and always sneered at Europellet.
Had this come 5 years ago when europellet was cheap and widely available, it would have been an easy purchase, just to keep around, and it would have been HER Glock, not mine.
The worst part, is, after 200 rounds, I’m starting to like the Glock too. It feels like I am admitting to trying gay sex and enjoying it.

What do I do? — Concerned, Ellisville PA

Dear Concerned:

Look on the bright side. She could have fallen in love with a Hi-Point.

As for the gay sex thing, always remember: the Romans believed that if you could only enjoy sex with a woman, you were only half a man — and their empire lasted over a thousand years.

— Dr. Kim

Image Problem

September 30, 2021 Kim du Toit Entertainment, Movies

I’ve always thought that the problem with Daniel Craig’s portrayal of James Bond is that Craig doesn’t look like Ian Fleming’s description and characterization of Bond as a man with a cultured veneer, and a tough, ruthless man barely concealed just underneath. It’s why Sean Connery was so good:

…but the rest were too heavy on the “cultured” (Roger Moore) or else pretty boys (Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton) with no “rough” in evidence anywhere. This doesn’t mean they’re bad actors (I’m a huge fan of both Moore and Brosnan), but they were just miscast.

By comparison, Daniel Craig is the complete opposite: a street thug in a tuxedo, no sophistication to be found anywhere.

Which is why his swan song as Bond at the world premiere of whatever they’re calling the latest car on the 007 money train is so jarring:

The jacket’s too short by two inches, and… pink? No doubt the producers are setting us up for the next iteration of 007: Jamie Bond, from West Hollywood.

To make things even worse, his co-star Leah Seydoux looks like a man in drag, and the movie has been dubbed the “wokest Bond movie ever“… to the whirring sound of Ian Fleming spinning in his grave.

All this means I’m unlikely ever to see this movie, but I (and people like me) am no longer relevant to the 007 Marketing Department.
