More Trickling of Data Regards to Canada Immigration

https://www.cicnews.com/2020/08/canada-offers-immigration-support-to-lebanon-0815482.html

"...Between 2015 and 2019, an average of 1,800 Lebanese nationals obtained Canadian permanent residence per year..."
"..Lebanese-Canadians with close family in Lebanon are able to sponsor their relative through Canada’s family class program.

The largest available immigration option is through Canada’s economic class program. It comprises nearly 60 per cent of the 340,000 or so immigrants that Canada seeks to welcome each year...."

Welcome Back To Canada Carney: Canada Has a New "Shadow Finance Minister" (Bye Bye "Oh No Morneau")

After empty comments by Justin that the corrupt Finance Minister Bill ("oh no") Morneau who "forgets" to pay back travel expenses to foreign countries under the guise of "charity", will not be fired, Mark Carney, the ex-Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, has come back and basically is acting as Shadow Finance Minister in name, more than likely has the reins to the actual role.  Bill Morneau has not shown face since his unrehearsed and quick "I have to apologize" apology (July 17, 2020) at a speaking event right after the story came out.  Neither has Justin showed face (to be expected whenever there is a crisis) but he is rumoured to be gallivanting in Georgian Bay at a rich family/Liberal donor's cottage (Westons? The ones that received $12 Million for new environmentally friendly refrigerators). 

I'll go further and say the hiring of Mark Carney signals a change in the Liberal party.  Could he be eventual leader?  If so, it would solve many issues - finance issues as Oh No Morneau has shown his corrupt leanings; ethics issues that the Liberal party cannot seem to figure out and now in its third episode; succession issues if Justin's fall from grace continues since his 2015 election; and, budgetting issues (not just a socks budget but for an entire country and give it more than just an after thought).

It Must Be Another Crisis For Trudeau: No Appearances in Media, Yet The RCMP Detail in Georgian Bay is A Giveaway

Tweets on Twitter claiming Justin is enjoying the Georgian Bay area while the country he governs is economic turmoil and his party suffering from ethics breaches...again. 

Despite asking the question several times, when will Justin learn?, I believe there is no hope for this Politial Peter Pan and is setting a bitterness inducing example for Canadians and yes we are taxpayers that fund his out of touch reality lifestyle.  

Rumours that he is staying at the Westons' cottage - yes the same Weston family that owns Loblaw and received $12 million for environmentally friendly refrigerators.  

Torstar/Toronto Star's Overreaching Mindless, Leftist Clout Is Even Scarier and at Odds with Canadians Support of Freedom - Now Defender of Chinese Politics

"...Canada’s largest-circulation Chinese-language newspaper recently rejected a full-page ad criticizing the new Hong Kong national security law and one of the law’s Canadian supporters, raising new concerns about a pro-Beijing slant in Chinese-Canadian media.

A loose collection of 40 or so pro-democracy activists had been willing to spend $3,000 to purchase the spot in Sing Tao, a newspaper half-owned by Torstar, the Toronto Star’s parent company, said two of the activists.."

Car Rating: VW Tiguan

 As I have never owned an automobile and have rented many - SUVs, cars, even a pick up truck and a magic wagon (no inventory that day). 

I thought I would start reviewing these for others to read.  I'm not a motor-head, so my criteria is fairly rudimentay. 

capacity: 5 seats

body/style: large, but appears boxy

interior: decent interior, well laid out, roomy

back seats pull down/cargo: easy, lots of room, due to boxy feel, seems higher than other SUVs

radio controls on steering wheel : volume on left,  station selection on right - not ideal, as I am left handed and prefer both controls on left; able to change from FM station presets to AM presets. I  prefer all presets in same menu/page.

sound: not impressed, EQ did not respond as compared to thousands of other devices, stereos, cars, etc.

heated steering wheel: don't know, it is August

heated seats: don't know, it is August

start up (Key required?): key insert required

steering wheel adjustment: two positions

visual display: good, stations easy to see, 

rear view camera: yes

safety/lane adjust: no beeping at me

auto lights: yes

handling/feel: good

sunroof: no but I'm sure it is offered on other models

Overall: decent car, good for a weekend getaway or loading up for the cottage, not a preferred choice due to its boxy feel.

Climate Change "Crisis"? What About Covid, or even More Near Term, Garbage and Landfill Capacity

https://financialpost.com/opinion/ontarios-garbage-crisis-is-urgent/wcm/f68aa5f0-0098-47f4-954b-2faf9fc0f530/

",..The environmentally safe, cost-effective and reliable disposal option for this growing amount of garbage is made-in-Ontario landfills. Our landfill capacity deadline of 2032 will arrive even sooner — by 2028, just eight years away — should the U.S. government decide to close the border to Ontario’s garbage..."
