Does This PM (and Liberal Advisors) Know No "Right Versus Wrong" or the Concpet of Checks and Balances?
Nothing left to say after the head shaking while reading this...
But when will his own Liberal party stop him?
Of note, the context around "they were ostensibly “backpacking in Afghanistan.” The phrase dances off the tongue a bit like “scuba diving in Yemen” or “gastronomic tour of Somalia”: not inconceivable, but the Boyles will not have been surprised to learn that some in the U.S. intelligence community were suspicious. They reportedly refused an American military flight home over fears — perfectly reasonable ones, surely — that they might wind up stuck at Bagram Airfield." is not only a classic and cheeky poke, but is something not every journalist would put to (online) paper.

Monday Funny: Wynne Suing for "Harm" to her Reputation - Just Think About That for a Second...
http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/newsalert-ontario-premier-sues-opposition-leader-for-defamation-2
“The deliberate, malicious conduct of the defendant in publishing the defamatory statements is part of an ongoing campaign engineered by the defendant and others to harm the plaintiff’s reputation,”
"Harm"?!?! This is the Premier of Ontario with the lowest approval rating - ever! Of any Premier! And she is suing due to reasons of the "plaintiff's reputation"?
Wow, I never laughed so hard commuting to work on a Monday morning.

"Debt? What Debt?" Liberals' Spending Heads in the Sand

Maybe, just maybe, some part of that is related to exploding hydro bills in Ontario.

A Liberal Is Open To All Views - Until One Disagrees With the Liberal View: The New GG Shows Her True "Science" Colours in Belittling Those Non-Believers of Climate Change and Those Who Believe The Universe Was Created Out of More Than a "Random Process"
Maybe our new Governor General had an epiphany of knowledge or answers to such burning questions aboard the Space Shuttle, and was not shy about distributing that

Will the Real Canadian GDP Growth Rate, Please Stand Up: We Have Had Enough of "Sunny Ways"
http://business.financialpost.com/news/economy/theres-no-variable-in-the-model-for-nafta-ends
In a case of monetary and political, "he said, she said" both the institutions of the Bank of Canada and the governing Liberal party are to present their outlooks on the economy going forward.
The Bank of Canada, fresh off two rate hikes that surprised most, may have a bias creep into their forecasts in wanting to "justify" those curious hikes with a rosier but but lower end of the "believable" and "expectations" range.
The Liberals, on the other hand, will definitely be painting a picture of "sunny ways" using their Liberal math (please see past posts for past examples) to show that the MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR deficits are not that bad, they can borrow more, they can spend more, buy more votes, etc....until the actual GDP numbers are in. But by then, the election will be in full swing.
Two years into their mandate and two more years (less four days...but who's counting?) to go, the Liberal spending and spin machine will be engaging high gear as the countdown is on for 2019.
However, as noted in the Financial Post article above (and is not being fully appreciated by Canadians), two significant wild cards exist - NAFTA results and the housing market results. Either one of these could provide a sudden shock to any of the forecasts starting tomorrow and throw all views out the window.
The language around contingency plans will be very important to watch starting tomorrow. My fear is, there is not one.
Hello 1.0% GDP, lower dollar, higher deficits, stalled housing market, higher interest rates (they are not coming down), higher unemployment...

More Morneau...Oh No.
Do you think he had an idea of where the share price was heading after his little love in with the media yesterday?

World Growth Predicted at 3.7% (IMF) - NOT in Canada You Say?
Upon officially quashing any economic injection from pipelines and giving Canada "diversity" of oil markets as opposed to beholdened to the US, Canada, thanks to such federal and provincial policies (don't forget increased minimum wage in Ontario that is bound to hurt businesses and increase unemployment) the Liberals will officially be bringing down this world average of 3.7% from our cozy little corner of the globe.
I think the expectations are to be happy with half that number.

Coincidence Both Were Announced (To Overshadow the Other)? One More Backtracking Example from the Taxing Liberal Party Sprinkled With Morneau Conflict of Interest: That Makes Both the PM and The Finance Minister Hauled Into the Ethics Commissioner's Office
http://business.financialpost.com/news/economy/newsalert-liberals-to-trim-small-business-tax-rate-to-stanch-political-bleeding-2
https://www.facebook.com/AndrewScheerMP/videos/1759314834102261/
...And by the smirk on Justin's face, there is little regard for the Ethics Commissioner.
Backtracking or action from "consultations"? Let the (apathetic) Canadian voters decide, "...“When we made the commitment back in 2015 to lower small business taxes, we were very clear about one thing: we would only make this change after we took a look at the tax system. That’s what these consultations of these past months were all about...". [Insert Justin's smirk, and things are fine.]
How can the Liberals take credit and call this a "tax cut" when in fact it was barely out of the consultation period as the Liberals were dragged through the mud and vilified for the higher rate....and not even passed into legislation yet!
Ah, the Liberal media spin machine. The people behind it are good at what they do - cunning, bold and ruthless.
As mentioned, "Trudeau campaigned in 2015 on a promise to reduce the small business tax rate to nine per cent from 11 per cent over three years — but he announced in Budget 2016 he would freeze the rate at 10.5 per cent, cancelling in the process a legislated reduction to nine per cent instituted by the previous Conservative government."

As "Diversity" is the Buzz Word of The Day, Eastern Canadians will Continue to Have "Diversity" of Oil Supply From USA, OPEC Countries Rolling Down the St. Lawrence: No More Energy East - Happy Now NEB?
http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/on-energy-east-trudeau-and-notley-faked-saying-yes-but-governed-by-no
"...Eastern Canada imports more than 750,000 barrels per day from the U.S. and OPEC countries. The Energy East pipeline would have carried 1.1 million barrels per day of Canadian oil eastward to Canadians at lower cost while increasing Canada’s self-reliance. Even if much of the pipeline’s oil were exported, it would still be an economic benefit for Canada with foreign-market access that would allow for greater diversity of Canada’s customer base for its oil..."
