Curiously, the names of Seamus O'Regan (a "guest" on Justin Trudeau's "family vacation") and the institution of the Aga Khan itself have not received any tarnishment to their names.
Coincidental, that at the peak of negative town hall criticism of Justin Trudeau's "federal crime" as awarded by the ethics commissioner and as per federal laws, this free day has surfaced and available to the public?

Bitcoin's Cracks of Volatility Beginning to Show: Buckle Up, the Ride Has Only Started
Finally the volatility and wild swings (yes even downward) are happening.
No doubt, some upward swings to follow and the "I told you so crowd" will have their moment. Only to be hit negatively again.
On another note, I was enlightened a little more yesterday by a long term friend as to what "mining" is, as it relates to crypto currencies and how this is performed. Or, from what I understand, "rewarded" for providing the infrastructure and, most importanly, the power to perform the gazillion of calculations needed to build blocks of the block chain, ledgers, verify transactions, etc. (did I use the right terminology in that last sentence?).
Also combined with an article in the Financial Post that jurisdictions of cheap power (Ontario and the provincial Liberals, this is NOT you!), are expected to be the hubs of this infrastructure driven technology. Hello crypto-BC, crypto-Manitoba, crypto-Quebec!

There's Math...And Then There is "Liberal Math"
When someone asks the hypothetical question, "if you could invite anyone over for dinner, who would be your six guests?", I have started to think about the following response - our unethical Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his unethical, over spending, over taxing Finance Minister Bill Morneau and ANY high school accounting teacher. Why don't we throw in Kathleen Wynn and her over spending, over taxing Finance Minister Charles Sousa.
A high school accounting teacher should be enough to clear the definitions of what a "balanced budget" is (hint, it does not involve going $5.0B into debt or recieving ~20% of revenues in handouts from the Feds...Kathleen), and that mult-billion dollar deficits do matter and should be considered in paying them down otherwise over time they will hurt you.
Then once learned, let either i) the revelations or ii) the squirming begin...

The Liberal Way and What The Justin Believes is Right and Just
http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/this-man-is-reprehensible-justin-trudeaus-abortion-stance-angers-the-u-s-right
The one, the only JT has managed to mix reproduction rights and acquiring federal grants for institutions. What his advisors were thinking and the net benefit of the media attention maybe we will discover in due course. Does this further enforce his "feminist" image? A few selections from the above article as appeared in the Financial Post
"...The latest controversy involves a new Canadian policy — when applying for federal grants for student jobs, organizations are now required to sign a form attesting that neither their core mission, nor the job being funded, opposes human rights, including reproductive rights. Pro-life activists are suing the federal government over it..."
Also...
http://nationalpost.com/opinion/kelly-mcparland-our-flippant-prime-minister-simply-wont-tolerate-differing-views
"...Trudeau is unmoved, and unwilling to accept that fellow Canadians who hold views different from his own shouldn’t be treated as lesser beings, ineligible for public funds to which they contribute, and to which all other Canadian organizations are welcome to apply..."
"...Neither Trudeau or Hajdu appear to understand that there is no wording in the Charter that offers a constitutional right to abortion. Nor is there anything in the law, since there is no abortion law in Canada. The Supreme Court’s 1988 ruling on abortion threw out the legislation that existed at the time, but left a vacuum in its wake, which no government has had the nerve to fill. Suggesting Canada has “hard won rights and freedoms” that protect the right to terminate unborn children is simply not true. What it has is a total lack of rules, and a public unwilling to confront the commotion that would surely arise from any effort to re-open the matter..."
And of course the Liberal way just involves saying an untruth often enough until the population at large starts to believe it...
"...This allows people like Trudeau to pretend that Canada has undergone a fierce debate over the issue, and “pro-choice” emerged victorious. He seized on this falsehood in his remarks in Hamilton, in which he used the term “rights” three times to describe a situation in which no rights have been codified. Simply because pro-abortion organizations habitually refer to “a woman’s right to choose” doesn’t mean it exists; women in Canada have the ability to choose — simply because there is nothing to stop them — but that’s not the same as a right. In fact, the 1988 decision indicated that the mother’s rights should be balanced against the child’s. People and organizations can oppose abortion and still be respectable, law-abiding citizens. It’s not clear whether the Prime Minister understands this distinction, or prefers to ignore it in favour of a less honest approach..."

Well, When You Put It Like That....
And there are Canadians that will give their vote, one of their biggest rigts of citizenship, to this regime...again. Where is the head shaking emoji?

This Federal Liberal Government is all About Views Based on Fairness, Transparency and Science - Until One Disagrees With The Liberal View
So much for freedom of speech and freedom of views. In the Liberals' binary world of view points (the "sacred, almighty, correct Liberal" view and "all the other remaining ranges and differing points of view that are wrong"), now they are tying grants to summer employment with these restrictions based on the "Liberal view" of reproduction rights. This "one way, NOT another" flies in the face of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to which the Liberals so fondly cherish as it was repatriated under Daddy Trudeau's regime.

"Three Ways to Get Fat...Bike Riding"
I do love a good play on words; however, the non-cyclist may run away from this headline!!!
The latest rage, especially in Quebec, fat bike riding is like riding a mountain bike on steroids. I have thought about buying for most of 2017. Here is a good way to test it out before spending $1,000 on a low end fat bike....
