Good afternoon. Gigi the parti poodle here to introduce my blog. This week as I was reading a random mandate on world running, I discovered the art of manifesto. Its magnificence has inspired me to write my own document on how I shall take over the world. I have decided to call it Mein Woof. I will pen my ideas on how the world should be run. I will get across my points in an emotional and evocative manner. I shall declare the name of my belief system to be Poodles Reign Supreme. I shall hire a Border Collie to round up all the sheep. Clearly human beings have failed so it is time for Canis Lupis Familiaris to take the reins. I shall challenge the status quo by sending in my team of rottweilers to force humans to give up their wasteful shopping habits and bow to their streamline minimalist canine leaders. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll send in the pit bulls. They’re far more stupid. I shall rally all dogs, even the pugs, and let them know the world shall now go to the hounds. I will be concise and snappy in my speeches flipping my gorgeous fluffy ears around after a trip to the groomers and pounding my paw on the podium as I bark, “Mein Woof! Mein Woof! Mein Woof!” I shall announce our canine victory decree over the microphones and send it booming throughout the world. My core values will be to gut all manufacturing except dog food and dog treat factories and renovating those that are left to make beautiful handmade collars and magnificent chew toys. There will be no dog sweaters. There will be no muzzles. And there will absolutely be no tutus. The new canine regime is about to begin. Are you ready to stand with me? All together now: Mein Woof! Mein Woof! Mein Woof!

STREAM OF THE WEEK: SUGARCANE (2024)-HULU

This week’s documentary, which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary, is not for the faint of heart but it’s important to not be a sniveling little coward and watch it just the same. Directed by Emily Kassie and Julian Brave NoiseCat the film’s focus surrounds a Catholic institution in British Columbia, Canada called the Saint Joseph’s Indian Residential School and the horrors that went on there for decades at the hands of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. Showing once again that the world has always been evil and those who want to embrace “the good old days”, “tradition” and “process” are the stupidest people on earth.

As the film starts there is an investigation being done concerning children’s bodies being dug up at and around the Catholic Church’s boarding school where many Indigenous Canadian children were forcibly taken from their families and required to stay at and attend …if they could survive. Many, and I do mean many girls and boys were tortured and sexually assaulted by the priests there. And the terror just gets worse. The irreversible damage the school did extended not only to the survivors but affected their offspring and families as well. It is important to note that this was just one of 130 types of these schools in Canada and 526 in the United States. There is a reason Clergy is the 8^th most popular occupation amongst psychopaths.
