Another Day, Another Liberal Minister Controversey: Sajjan Cancels All Meetings Witj Ombudsman Regatding Allegations of Vance's Conducts Yet Continuee to Profess He Knew Nothing

 "...Walbourne testified that he found himself totally cut off in 2018 after he informed Sajjan about serious allegations of sexual misconduct against Vance, Canada’s top soldier and the minister’s friend.

His calendar shows in the aftermath of that meeting, Sajjan cancelled all seven meetings that had been scheduled. In total Sajjan cancelled 17 of the 24 scheduled meetings he had with Walbourne from November 2016 to September 2018

Election? What Election? Liberals Ramp Up Immigration Numbers for 2021 as "only 17 per cent favoured more immigration"

 "...The answer may lie in the twin, related facts, that new immigrants tend to be reliable Liberal voters, and, on the flip side, that those who identified themselves as Liberal supporters are much more supportive of immigration..."

The Independent CPPIB's Machin Resignation Comes After Chrystia Freeland's Comments; It Must Be So Simple To Just Replace the Head of the Most Important $500B Fund For Canadians

 A non-Canadian resident is unable to pay for a trip somewhere in the world to do whatever business he is able to do, legally? Interesting to see that even non-residents are beholden and shackled by our provincial health cares systems and the Liberal government's ineptitude of rolling out vaccines nevermind disclosing details of the vaccine contracts. Did anyone else know that? Where is that written down? Even more stunning is the Liberals' thinking that the reigns of the most important pool of capital necessary to all Canadians can simply be replaced as easily as a cashier at a grocery store. So much for continuity - Canadians may not know it, the fund has performed well...under Machin.

Terence Corcoran: The official version of the Mark Machin takedown just doesn’t add up | Financial Post

"...The story broke in the Wall Street Journal last Thursday. According to “people familiar with the matter,” Machin “told contacts” that he had arrived in Dubai earlier in February with his unnamed “partner” and “used local connections” to secure doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech version of the vaccine.

Despite the fact that the CPPIB is technically independent from the federal government and is officially overseen by an independent board of directors, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and her press secretary instantly issued damning comments. Katherine Cuplinskas, the press secretary, said that, “While the CPPIB is an independent organization, this is very troubling.”

Press secretaries do not issue personal comments. They are told what to say as the representative of the minister. “The federal government has been clear with Canadians that now is not the time to travel abroad,” Cuplinskas continued. “We were not made aware of this travel...”

Machin is not a Canadian. 

Canadian Interest Rates - Watch Out!

 "...The typical mortgage rate is closely tied to the yield on five-year government bonds, as most home loans carry a five-year duration. Yields on a Canadian government five-year bond have more than doubled over the course of the last month, rising to 0.83 per cent in a surge that has not been seen since 2010.

That upward rate momentum has prompted a pair of Canadian lenders - TD Canada Trust and Bank of Nova Scotia - to hike their five-year fixed rates, according to mortgage-tracker RateSpy.com. The posted five-year fixed rates at the Big Six Canadian lenders range between 4.59 and 4.79 per cent, with TD advertising the lowest lending rate of the group...."

You Can't Print That - Torstar Seeks Online Gambling License To Pay For News of the Future (Yup, They Said It)

I never thought I'd see the day group that owns the pro-union, anti-corporation, anti-wealth, far left Toronto Star rag actually proposes such an idea. Even scarier, it actually has some real momentum and everyone is blind to the concept. 

"...Torstar Corp. is turning to online gambling as a potential new revenue source that the Canadian newspaper publisher intends to help support future journalistic efforts. 

...this venture could help fund future journalism efforts for The Star and other newspapers amid a period of transformation for media companies. ..."
