Trans Mountain Expansion: Surely the Sane Canadian Voting Public and the Blind Faith Liberal Voters Must Begin To See the Absurdity

"...The federal government can’t guarantee it will have a decision on the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion prior to the next election, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi said.

The deadline was pushed back to June 18 from May 22 on the recommendation of Indigenous communities and former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci, who is advising the government on the consultation process..."

Liberal Party: Diane Francis Says It All

'...Canada, in other words, is run by an elite who crush and spit out whoever breaks ranks or their code of omerta, or silence.

This is nothing new, nor is the building backlash. Every so often the Liberals are defeated in elections, but they leave behind unscathed unelected Liberals in crony appointments. These people move in and out as advisers, consultants, deputy ministers, Senators, Crown corporations, directors, bank bigshots, or CEOs of government agencies as well as regulated corporations, dependent on Ottawa...."

Over 300 Dead Due to Terrorist Attacks On Christians in Sri Lanka: How Much More Bland Could Our Prime Minister's Comments Be?

After the "Sikh Terrorism" debaucle, Justin and the Liberals have learned  to avoid mention of accusers and linking (obvious) terrorism to geographic/ethnic groups (ahem, voters).

Now the Liberals Are Acting on the Illegal/Irregular Border Crossers...?

...however, how coincident is it that with six months to the election, these will never ever pass.  In other words...that is just what it is...WORDS, no action.  Everyone can see the Liberal playbook now, it is time they changed it.

Another Canadian Business Disappears: There it Was...Gone

http://business.financialpost.com/commodities/mining/newmont-shareholders-ok-10-bln-goldcorp-takeover-creating-biggest-gold-producer

Although many would love to blame the "Big Bad Americans" for acquring such a leading company in an important industry, Goldcorp was the victim of its own demise.  Over the last 10+ years the company entered an aggressive acquisition history that needed to be done (as the gold industry works); however, the amount of assets and the capital required to finance and build them eventually caught up with Goldcorp.  Most of the downturn since Chuck Jeannes held a solid ship was unfortunately under the watch of David Garofalo (ex-Agnico Eagle, ex-Hudbay); however, with lessons learned no doubt Mr. Garofalo will appear out of retirement and will attract equity capital to run a much smaller, nimbler company on its way to a new growth trajectory (ie. pick the jockey, back the horse).

And the Trudeau Absurdity Continues: Suing Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer

According to precedents, this will likely be dropped.  However, it is amazing to watch how much sabotage Justin Trudeau is capable of.

"Tuesday Night Massacre": Will This Be A Moment Remembered in Canadian Politics, Not For Its Idiocy, But The Downfall Yet To Occur?

After the unsuprising ousting of both Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpot, the Trudeau brand again becomes tarnished.  In a self claiming "Feminist" status, Trudeau and the Liberal Party do not realize the mistake they have made - two responsible women (yes at a time of  #MeToo and gender equality, a platform that dictated the near 50/50 split of males and females for Ministers) have stood independently up to the rest of their party for very valid principles and values that all Canadians should be concerned about, yet Trudeau pulls a Trump and gives them a "You're fired!".
