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).

Liberals' Self Claimed Prophecy of "Climate Change is Canada’s No. 1 Priority" Has Imported Professional Environmentalist Protesting Thuggery

Good ol' Rex

"...If 10 plumbers shut down a railway, or if loggers shut down the B.C. legislature, or if oil workers decided to “shut down Canada,” the RCMP and every security force in the nation would round them up, clap on the handcuffs and stow them away in a cell in a jiffy. But a few native bands, and the always available professional protesters who we have seen active since the days of the Seattle riots, decide to ride on the oil issue, and everyone in authority stands aside mute and fearful..."

"...By insisting for their full tenure that “climate change” is “Canada’s No. 1 priority” the Liberal government has stimulated the current rage that is seizing the country..."

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.

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.

"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!".

I do not understand how a room full of supposedly up and coming, intelligent, well(er) off than Trudeau's version of the middle class paying a $750 annual/entrance fee will continue to cast votes for this Liberal regime.

Surprise, Surprise! A Federal Budget For Everyone! Spend, Spend, Spend! More Debt, More Debt, More Debt!

More taxes to come down the road to pay for all of this.  It makes striving to be a teacher or a governemnt worker looking like the only way to "get ahead" in Trudeau terminology with a decent pension at the end of the day rathter being in the private sector and being taxed to pay for Canada's largest employer - Canadian Government.

Budget Day for Canada: Let's See What Tricks The Liberals Have Up Their Sleeve to Deflect Attention from SNC, Shipbuilding scandals

With no timeline to pay back Canada's billions of debt, no doubt the Liberals will take today's occasion to promise everything to all Canadians and run up more deficits.  The question is only how much and how patronizing will this budget be.

Is "Sunny Ways" Governing Over For Justin?

After the resignation yesterday of Gerald Butts, Trudeau's trusted and sacrificial right hand man,  there is no shortage of negative federal Liberal news. 

As I scroll down the National Post phone app this morning, there are no less than six headlines about he SNC Lavalin affair and how the Liberals have botched the responses, messaging and strategy behind what actually was said between Wilson-Raybould and members of the governing Liberals.

The article that broke this consecutive string was another Liberal related articel titled, "This Photograph (and others) of Harjit Sajjan cost Canadians $161,000".   

How many more gaffes can this government perform before even the most apathetic Canadian voter casts his/her vote elsewhere come October, 2019?

Sunny Ways? Did it ever start?

The "Minister Of Imaginantion" is Trying to Justify His 3.5 Years In Office Today...and Possibly Deflect from Other SNC-Lavalin/Justice Minister News

Stop the press! "Minister of Imagination", the least visible Minister of the top portfolios under this government is actually doing something. Maybe we will discover what he does all day. After almost 3.5 years at his post, we will have a 100 page report. (I do not understand how he is going to get 100 pages out of this, maybe a picture book)

"...Next week, he will release a 100-page government report called Building a Nation of Innovators that mostly serves as a collection of the various policies, programs, plans and funding mechanisms the government has undertaken under the auspices of innovation..."

Where's the Peanut? Justin Shuffling the Minster Roles Post Brison's "Retirement"; The Worst Offenders Needed Replacing Are Still There

We will find out soon enough through the Davie shipbuilding scandal that will take place in the courts why MP Scott Brison had suddenly retired. 

And what of some glaring incompetence in the Minister ranks - Minister of Natural Resources, Amarjeet Sohi?

"...Finally, it’s worth noting who did not move or change: Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.

The Liberal government has met with the scorn of many Albertans for failing to do more as the oil industry continues to struggle and gasp. Trudeau appointed Sohi in the hopes a minister from Alberta might help send a signal that Albertans were being listened to, but Sohi’s home province has had little effect on the frustration of Alberta voters. At the end of the day, the Liberals have very few seats at the table in Alberta, and moving a minister would pull their only Alberta presence in cabinet — it seems wasn’t worth it..."

This Liberal Government Says It Is For Veterans, Yet Also Does Not Have Enough to Pay What They Are Asking For - Here is What the "Progress" on Bill C-12 Says...

https://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&billId=8166461&View=8

Editd excerpt: "Bill C-12 amends the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act to, among other things...
• increase the percentage in the formula used to calculate the earnings loss benefit;
• specify when a disability award becomes payable and clarify the formula used to calculate the amount of a disability award; 
• increase the amounts of a disability award; and
• increase the amount of a death benefit."

In addition, it contains transitional provisions that provide, among other things, that the Minister of Veterans Affairs must pay, to a person who received a disability award or a death benefit under that Act before April 1, 2017, an amount that represents the increase in the amount of the disability award or the death benefit, as the case may be."

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."

More Anti-USA Liberal Shenanigans: No Invite to the USA For An Ottawa Hosted Summit

It is clear the Liberals' strategy heading into the 2019 election is to stir up the anti-American sentiments.  They have nothing else of substance, so stoop to new lows.

As If The Trans Mountain PIpeline Could Not Become Worse - It Becomes More Vague: Liberals Throw Out Any and All Timelines On the Project The Liberals Purchased (With Our Tax Dollars)

With all the legal, enviromental and initial financial resoruces in hand (up until the recent Supreme Court decision to which it should never have been escalated and at least backing from the previous owner) this Liberal government chooses to forego appealing any Supreme Court decisions surrounding the Trans Canada pipeline and after three years of governing, NOW wants to sit down and "consult" with those parties that have claimed they were not consulted properly. 

This is not a case of speaking with a few dissidents.  No, in fact, "the government will re-initiate consultations with all 117 indigenous groups impacted by the project". 

"The minister was asked during the press conference on how he can hold consultations when it looks like the government has already decided to build the pipeline expansion, which it bought from Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd. earlier this year for C$4.5 billion ($3.5 billion). He said the government wouldn’t cap the length of indigenous consultation, and approach it with an “open mind and good faith". 

Having spent C$4.5B in taxes, the Liberals are in no way motivated to see this initiative through.

This leaves cannabis legalization as the only thing the Liberal government has accomplished in its term.
