Huawei Affair: Kevin O'Leary Has a Theory, And Appropriate Criticism of How The Liberals Have Handled Meng, China Since

This is a gold web site so a little unusual this O'Leary interview appears. But interesting and fascinating theory he has on the Huawei affair...

Love him or hate him, it's good to see that someone is going around to naively left leaning/Liberal dominated universities to really explain WHAT (NOT WHO) to vote for: competence in foreign policy and affairs, competence and prudence in financial policy, taxation and assisting not destroying our industries, governing with actual leadership and management skills versus selfies and bright socks.

USMCA: Is it Really Fun To Stay In This USMCA? Details Of the Dairy Industry Now Emerging and the Farmers Don't Like It!

"The pact, which also includes Mexico, will give the U.S. greater access to Canada’s protected dairy market, eliminate the nation’s new milk-pricing system and restrict the sector’s ability to export. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to compensate farmers to cushion the blow, industry groups say past experience has shown that aid packages amount to a “pittance,” and the government won’t be able to cover the financial hit the industry is poised to take."

This Just In....Still No NAFTA Deal!

Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland just heading into another meeting again.  Answers to the same ongoing questions later today

Meanwhile, Minister of Trade Diversification Jim "Dude Where's My" Carr (due to recent cabinet shuffle) is invisible. 

Justin Sunshine's Response to Murder of 13 Year Old Girl in Burnaby by One of Syrian Refugees - An Initiative That Was Justin's/Liberals' Doing

Noted: To get out of a difficult question, simply shrug your shoulders and claim you are in the opposite camp.

"...I'm not one of those people who say that...”.  Despite Mr. Sunny Ways being responsible for the entry and encouragement of Syrian refugees into Canada, he simply washes his hands clean.  Outrageous, shocking and infuriating. 

Deal or No Deal: When You Cannot Arrive at Agreement on NAFTA, What Do You Do? Roll Out Another Agreement - TPP, Oh and Change the Name

https://business.financialpost.com/news/economy/rethinking-our-global-ambitions-starting-with-the-call-to-action-that-is-the-tpp

Where's the peanut? Where's the peanut? The Liberals continue to deflect. As NAFTA appears to be on a path to "no deal" the Liberals are now showing off the latest shiny trinket - the TPP (which is now the "Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership" or reads like the alphabet, CPATPP).  Well, if NAFTA will be dead, THEN THE TPP BETTER BE IN PLACE! What are Canadian businesses to do who sell internationally when the Liberals will have destroyed Canada's best, closest, most accessible market? 

As Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland is not only out there poking Trump and the USA in the eye during the most sensitive times of a NAFTA negotiation whether it be i) very pointed, inflammatory and cheeky "thank you" speeches for an award by her peers on USA soil, or ii) attending a Trump bashing, feminists event hosted by Indigo Chapters' Heather Reisman in Freeland's own riding surrounding a film called "Tame the Tyrant" or iii) bragging that her European Trade Minister counterpart call themselves "Sisters in Trade" and brags about how they communicate in texted emojis and "hugs" (again during a time where 140% of her time should be spent on finalizing Canada's part in NAFTA!), MP Freeland and her Liberal government have continued to change the "lines in the sand".  

Now the latest stall tactics and sticking points are to do with i) culture (broadcasting American commercials during a Superbowl?) and ii) Chapter 19 where trade disputes would be settled by a (gasp!)...Judge!!! Trudeau implied that a USA President that "does not play by the rules" could interfere with such decisions.....WHAT!?!?! In a country where an individual can only be President for two terms maximum, Justin Sunshine is suggesting that trade disputes and decisions could be impacted by Trump calling a judge on the phone....even after Trump is long gone as President!?!?!?!

It is clear, this Liberal government is not shy about stalling for years on sensitive issues as a go-to strategy. Look at reconciliation, look at pipelines (eventually came to a "must act moment" and they forked over C$4.5B but would have been more than content to drag this out to election time in 2019), look at the border crisis.  The list goes on.

Unfortunately legalized marijuana is the only significant point of completion by the Liberal government, and was jammed down the provincial throats - no stalling.

Reviewing how the Liberals are conducting themselves, it is clear they are playing roulette with Canada's place in NAFTA and are going to great lengths to appear "anti-Trump" in order to attract those votes in the 2019 election.  THE LIBERALS DO NOT WANT A NAFTA DEAL COMPLETED!  This is no trivial matter - this has impacts on i) the auto industry and severe job losses - UNION JOB LOSSES, ii) a guaranteed weakening C$, iii) declining Canadian stock markets, iv) inflation from USA tariffs? then interest rate follow on affects, v) combined with tens of thousands of illegal border crossers to pay for, perhaps to compete with for jobs, vi) oh, and remember that ballooning debt that is in line with Canada's GDP? Well, it is simply too much debt (but then again a Trudeau is a Trudeau is a Trudeau).

The only saving grace is that all this turmoil may be timed perfectly for an October 2019 election and Canadians (whether left, center or right leaning or even the apathetic ones) will vote this reckless political party out. 

Has Trudeau 2.0 Gone Beyond Truedau 1.0 On the "Scale of Irritated Parties"?

With exception of mocking the Queen cheekily behind her back, The Justin has played out exactly like his father: i) alienating Western Canada over a reckless energy policy, ii) keeping and admiring company of questionable characters and countries and iii) annoying the USA and its current President.

Not only the aforementioned, but now just about every province in Canada as well is outside of the Trudeau Liberals camp.  So, has Trudeau 2.0 surpassed Trudeau 1.0?

Canada's Enegy Industry and the NEB: "The least-reported development that poses the greatest economic risk"

https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/think-its-hard-to-build-big-projects-in-canada-wait-till-you-see-the-liberals-new-bill

Just like his father...

How Wrong Are Things Going For Justin? Oh, Let Me Count The Ways...

In the same day...

1. After an appeal, the NEB's decision was determined worthless 
2. Later in the day Kinder Morgan shareholders voted to take the money from the federal government's head scratching purchase of the pipeline, and ran! Bye bye ~C$5.0B
3. Alberta Premier announces she is pulling out of the federal climate plan 
4. A NAFTA conclusion continues to look bleak (and the reasons why Canada has been left in this position are becoming apparent - Chrystia's Freeland "Diplomat of the Year" antagonist speech on US soil, what happened at the G7 in Charlevoix between Jusin and Donald, the Liberals' inaction leading up to these deadline negotiating times, etc. etc. etc.) 

It is so bad, not only does this Liberal government give rise to the phrase, "could not organize a kids' party", the C$ has fallen to below its three months high and the new and improved with the new rules that were implemented by the Liberals looks like an incompetent make work project.   

In adding fuel to the fire, Trump is firing off comments about whether Canada joins the agreement or becomes a victim of heavy tariffs on its auto sector exports.  

WHAT MORE DOES THIS LIBERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE TO DO TO BE VOTED OUT IN 2019? 

Justin has done EVERYTHING his father has done (as noted previously in these posts), with exception of mocking the Queen behind her back.  There is still a year left before election time and I hear Justin is not well liked in Quebec.  We will see....

Venezuela: Next Wave of Illegal Border Crossers?

With one rogue leader after another and head scratching economic policies resulting in runaway inflation rates (you think bread costs too much here ? Try 800,000% inflation), debt defaults and a currency worth nothing, do you think Venezuelans are paying more attention to Justin's reckless tweet?

"...It’s also possible that the exodus of Venezuelans to other countries will increase, even as Ecuador and Peru announced entry restrictions and tensions flared along the border with Brazil.

“People are leaving because of a feeling of despair, and the desperation will now increase,” Naim said...."

Saudi Arabian Consequences: Hello Higher Gas Prices in The East, And Where is Invisible Justin?

All for Justin to gain a few more political points.  Well, the consequences are now happening.   What did the Liberals expect? You poke something long enough, guess what...?

As we do not have a full all-Canadian energy plan and no pipeline to transport to refineries in the east of Canada, guess where that is sourced?

I sense a few more personal days and a surf trip for our Prime Minister to avoid this one.

More "Transparency and Openness" From our Liberal Federal Government, This Time Disallowing Those To Testify Thanks To Majority Status in the House of Commons

Justin and his over-taxing, over-spending cohorts really do not want the truth to appear concerning what really happened on the India trip/vacation/trade mission

Further to Trudeau's Disastrous India Trip/Vacation, Light is Shed on The Voting Reasons of Why This Was Planned (or at Least Attempted in This Case)

Rarely would any publication with "Sun" in it be placed on this forum; however, some interesting insight that no other media would touch (certainly not the CBC).

It is not as simple as just about beating Jagmeet Singh at his own game and claiming the Sikh Punjabi votes rather than allow vote splitting in 2019's election, but all of this is happening under our noses.

Thr attrention from the the farce of Trudeau's travels has now uncovered this....

Budget Day Today: Let's See How Loopy Things Become

With various initiatives at play as part of international trade agreements and Canadians at home (gender diversity, human rights, sustainability, abortion rights, carbon taxes, manufactured language such as peoplekind) among flamboyant and unnecessary trips by the PMO, Canada will be watching how much worse tax dollars are being spent and deficits being driven higher by this self righteous, everyone should play nice government.

I am betting there is still no more clarity when Canada will be able to pay off this financial mess.  But more Liberal math to dance around question period like Justin on an India trip in Bollywood attire.

Even the CBC Reporting Trudeau's "Trade Mission" Trip As Negative And A Bust

How much worse can it become? Even the CBC "broke" this story (claimed to break) "thanks to the CBC's Terry Milewski" who has been the only one over there to approach and question such topics as a certain airline bombing.

"A Dumb Joke"? Well, At Least It Is Different Than An Apology

As Canadians and the world picked up on our Prime Minister's political correctness and language bending reference to "peoplekind", he eventually had to face this (I don't want to give him the international recognition that feeds his ego, but...) "viral" episode, and dismissing it as a "dumb joke".

If only his and fellow Liberal policies could be dismissed as such.  Including yesterday's new (in other words, "another") approval process along with a bash at Harper's "loss of trust" in the process.  Low, bewildering, nauseating and unnecessary comment Catherine McKenna.
