Governor General and Her Bilingualism: Unnecesary Comment During These Times From Mary Simon

Like it or not, the recent GG is not bilingual, meaning in Canada's two official languages;  however ticks the first nations box after the horrific events of children 's graves being discovered (and concidentally several Catholic churches also horrifically being burned down). 

After the disastrous previous pick, maybe all the boxes could not have been ticked. Maybe the bilingual aspect could have been relaxed with an explanation or an effort to learn it over the upcoming term. 

But no, going beyond the reference to English and French as the two official languages and stepping into the lions' den of knowing questions, her response was more than flippant but childish and instigatorly.  

"...Knowing 11 years ago that she could well become a candidate in the future, Simon nevertheless chose not to take up the challenge of acquiring functional French (which is not rocket science, as several anglophone party leaders have discovered over the last several decades).

...The only fly in the ointment is Simon’s near-complete unfamiliarity with French. She knew this would be a sticking point, and had a zingy, but disingenuous, response at the ready, one I believe must have been vetted (or perhaps suggested) by the prime minister: she said she was indeed bilingual, only “my bilingualism is in Inuktitut and English.”..."

Count bilingualism as part of another Canadian institution being eroded by our appointed and elected officials. 

Canadian Borders Opening? Of Course, Just in Time for an Election

 Of course, Canadians blindly believe it is due to the science.

"...The Trudeau government seems to have adopted a similar approach: strenuously urge people to get their vaccines, promise relief when a certain level is achieved, then change the requirements when the goal has been reached.

Indeed, as the number of vaccinated Canadians rises, federal officials have started warning about new strains of the virus and the danger they might represent, as a means of justifying their refusal to stick to the schedule. Any time an outbreak occurs anywhere in the world, it’s another opportunity for Canadian officials to disavow the existing target and set a new one..."

"...“Tearing down is a lot simpler than building up,” Pallister said at his first news conference since the statues were pulled down on Canada Day.

He added that he felt “disgust and disappointment” at the vandalism.

“I believe that Canada has been, and will always be, I hope, a nation that is an example to those around the world of our dedication to building.”..."

Must Be Election Time: Liberals Again Playing With Language, Seeking Votes For High Frequency Trains Not High Speed Trains

We can't build a pipeline in Canada along the same route as an existing pipeline, but the government thinks it can have built about 600 km of new railway track for a newly dedicated VIA passenger train line. 

$70M already allocated to studies (Liberal cronies).  While the most recent budget set aside nearly $500 million over six years for “infrastructure investments”. More Liberal cronies. 

Again, "Few details were available in advance of the announcement".

Christian School Wins Against Virtuous Liberals' Summer Jobs Funding Policies

 "...Tuesday’s Federal Court decision effectively concluded that Redeemer University hadn’t been rejected out of any red flags in its application, but because of a “cursory search of the Internet” to which Redeemer hadn’t been given the chance to respond.

“If the concern of (Service Canada) was that Redeemer discriminated based on sexual orientation, there was no contemporaneous evidence of that in the file,” wrote the Federal Court decision.

Justice Mosley added “there is no evidence … that (Service Canada) made any overt attempt to consider Redeemer’s rights to freedom of religion, freedom of expression or freedom of association in considering its application.”

Said Polizogopoulos, “I don’t know what changed other than we held the government’s feet to the fire.”..."
