The Liberals have been imposing carbon tax on all provinces, despite push-back from several Premiers, who says that the feds have no business imposing this on their province! As a rebuttal, how many times have I heard Catherine Mckenna - the Minister of Environment and Climate Change - say on tv.... ....."CLIMATE CHANGE KNOWS NO BORDERS!" well, duh? Obviously, THIS climate change, does respect borders! Canada warming at twice the global rate, leaked report finds https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/canada-warming-at-twice-the-global-rate-leaked-report-finds-1.5079765 Lol, it's just in Canada! It doesn't say.......North America. It says, CANADA! is it happening on the US side of the border? Nope. Only in Canada! This report proves Catherine Mckenna is either lying when she said, climate change knows no borders, or it does (as this report proves). Of course, it's highly likely, they're both full of............. s***! Boy, just like SNC-Lavalin....the Liberals can't get their story straight!

Just didn't get it I see. Not surprised.

Maybe if he would quit telling lies every day he'd be accepted by people other than the low IQ crowd who get sucked into those lies.

I agree, I do think they should do it and I don't know why it never happened, even after they received a settlement in 1985 from the Feds and the Company that bought out the pulp and Paper Company; why at that time it was never removed from the water. Trudeau did promised to act on it but never did and of course chose to belittle a protester and of course the Ontario Liberals promised to act on it, but never did. I don't know why it was never done.

If you been following the news, a member of the Grassy Narrows first Nation community, interrupted Justin Trudeau at a Liberal fund raiser. Justin Trudeau shouted at the protester "Thank You For Your Donation", as she was escorted out by security. Ya all know me as a hardcore fiscal conservative, and recently I have been coming down hard on natives. As a far-right conservative, I still believe all humans have the right to clean food, clean air, and clean drinking water. Industry needs to be held responsible for inappropriate contamination. We need to cough up some money, and fix this situation with the Grassy Narrows community. I don't think they should have to pay out of pocket for bottled water. Either we install a state of the art water filtration unit, or we truck in fresh water from another source. This should be non-negotiable start. I also the government must officially accept responsibility for failing to act. They have been given decades of warning, and I think if we can afford to give millions to Omar Khadr, we can do something for this community. We should give them a basic clinic, so members of their community can be treated for Mercury poisoning. You ask me, how much we should spend? In my opinion, we should spend $10 million to Truck in fresh water, build a simple clinic, and provide treatment for the community members. There are 800 members in the community, and I think $10 million is the least we should spend. That's $12500 per person. Coming from a person who has an extreme bias against natives, I still think children deserve clean drinking water. This is one of the rare cases, when a first nations community deserves a lawsuit. I would like to Andrew Scheer and the conservatives demand settlement. They can make up the money in other ways. Does anyone disagree?

Trump doeswn't seem to know where his father was born. (Psst, he actually does but he can't help but lie, again) Funny in a way, but actually sad.

Goes over your head most times.

So I wonder what is the reason Trump has lied so continuously about where his father was born.

JWR herself said no laws were broken by the Libs. Was the pressure from the PMO inappropriate? Yes. Was JWR inappropriate in her attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill with this whole drawn out and very public ordeal? Yes. JWR referenced "speaking truth to power" and the "Saturday Night Massacre", a reference to Watergate. What was she playing at? She turned impropriety into a major scandal that will likely turn the leadership of the country over to the Conservatives. Trudeau had to let her and Philpotts go. The caucus are worried about their employment and wanted them out. What's more, the PM has many considerations to make, including the constituents in his/her riding and the economic interests of the country. Either JWR was incredibly naïve or she had an agenda. She had to go.

"Rumours of my death are all fake news." - Donald J. Trump

I would say you nailed that one.

You remind me of the fella who fell off a tall building...as he passed each floor he could be heard saying " so far so good",

Glad to see our lying, milquetoast PM got some just deserts today: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/young-women-turn-backs-on-pm-in-commons/ar-BBVAeQw?ocid=ob-fb-enca-651&fbclid=IwAR0dAUCswWDDwCGGFMkMagHt29K90LXEZLIIpsfK5yKUVwV19TE2PLmq51U

And all of them had nothing to do with Russian collusion. Hello? Trump, you are free to go.

Nobody has said that the U.S. is the same as China, but clearly there are parallels that Canada has chosen to ignore for economic survival, and that includes capital punishment. It is because of Canada's perceived safety with 75% exports going to the USA, American capital investment, and post WW2 frameworks that some righteous Canadian leaders think they can take on China for "human rights violations". Well guess what, that all changes when the United States will no longer have your back on such matters because it also has to choose nation state interests over virtue signaling. The rest of the world is not Canada, and will never be the same as Canada. Canada is far more bark than bite when it comes to international influence these days, and we both know why.

They were kicked out of caucus. Each party decides who runs under their banner. I thought you knew everything about Canada.

Obviously she couldn't stay after inappropriately secretly recording her colleagues' phone calls and prodding them to say things that ultimately proved to be a whole lot of nothing. If the CPC/Liberal roles in this scandal were switched, the liberals would be all aghast as the conservatives here are, and the conservatives would be spouting how DPAs help protect Canadian jobs and are standard practice in the world and how it just shows how the liberals are anti-business. In other words, political hacks and shills are annoying.

That is the problem. Her understanding of "her job" is different from JT's idea.

"Whistle-blower, you are dismissed."

You still don't get it...actions means louder than words/apologies and boil water restrictions over 25 years old, rendering anything Trudeau would say to China as meaningless and lacking credibility. China does not have to tolerate Trudeau's virtue signaling that you find so valuable for domestic politics....it is irrelevant. Ideals vs. Outcomes

JWR and Canadian talking heads have made reference to this being a "Saturday Night Massacre", pointing to what happened with Nixon and his AG staff during the Watergate scandal in October, 1973. I don't know if JWR has any legal recourse, but what she most certainly doesn't have is backup from her caucus, as they fear for their MP jobs as well should any hint of "disloyalty" and loss of "trust" be seen by Justin Trudeau. Also interesting that such parallels would be drawn to something that happened almost 50 years ago. This is just another example of how much unchecked power a Canadian PM wields compared to other world leaders.

I recall when Made in Hong Kong was either cheap or very, very good... Red China? They make stuff?? I already have an old Mao Jacket.

China is a nation of 1.5 BILLION people that will no longer be satisfied with third world living. All nations will have to figure out how to adapt with this economic and military reality, and that includes Canada. The old post WW2 / Cold War framework will no longer suffice...China is now a major player in regions where the West no longer has greatest influence. There is no stopping China....nor should there be.

Yep, Drumpf made good money running whore houses, especially during the gold rush time in the Klondike. His boy seems to have similar respect for women since he like to grab 'em (we all know where) since he thinks he's a star.

Don't fool yourself....the United States (government) spies on every nation, allied or not, and has been doing so far longer than China. If challenging your anti-China (and anti-American) biases doesn't meet your approval, then go back to hiding in the sand (ignore).

China throws people into prison by the hundreds of thousands for being the member of the wrong ethnic group. It executes people for protesting against Tibet, or the slaughter in Tienanmen square. It throws people into labour camps for talking about Democracy. And you want to compare that to the US putting people in prison for terrorism? Get the f**k out of here.

Why are you desperately trying to twist logic and facts into pretzels to defend China?

Let's be realistic. The US doesn't need to spy much on Canada since Canada doesn't do anything they can't simply ask for, and because it has no need of conducting espionage on Canadian high tech or defense industries. It's also not our enemy, notwithstanding the fact some Americans, esp online, like to act like assholes.

Canada has some serious problems too, especially when it comes to "human rights", which is why it is a non-starter when dealing with China....so don't do it.

The U.S. is an existential threat to Canada's economy and is very much an espionage threat (e.g. NSA). Why get so righteous about China ?

Same here, I have no issue with refugees, but I have issue with economic refugee

While my neck is pretty red on the subject of immigration, it is not right to simply lump all Syrian and other nearby battle zone "refugees" together as cowards. We are talking about a population that was barely armed, untrained and not financed at all being assaulted by a government force of professional soldiers backed 100% by Iran and Russia. A significant number put up one hell of a fight against impossible odds for several years. Others, such as the Yazidi were victims of an intense campaign of genocide. With no serious effort to verify regugee claims, however, the real heros and victims are not likely being sorted out from the cowards, opportunists and embedded terrorists.

I think egghead hit the nail on the head, to many Canadians have picked their parties long ago, and regardless of who is at the helm they will recklessly vote the way they have always....On the other hand a lot of liberals still can not see what Justin and company have done nothing wrong...everything is coming up rainbows and unicorns...Canada has gone a long time since a charismatic , knowledgeable leader showed up one that knows how to govern, when to act in the best interest of the country, and when to act on popular ideas. If Canadians can not pick the best man for the job, then they fall back on their party line....and for most it is Liberal, or Conservative.

Nova Scotia forces opt-out organ donation and body snatching. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/presumed-automatic-consent-organ-donation-1.5081272

"We support whistle-blowers (and those who give shelter to whistle-blowers - like those who sheltered Snowden)........ ........as long as we're not the ones getting whistle-blown." That's the message I get from all hypocritical Liberal MPs who want to kick out Raybould!

How dare you reduce people to their race. People are people and deserve the same level of services and taxation across the board. Reparations to level the playing field for past wrongs is one thing, and difficult enough. Permanent dependence is a form of enslavement because it kills any sense of personal investment and control Autonomy is psychologically healthy.

Aboriginals already HAVE their own country: Canada. What they need is to be treated equally, not at some level of very, very special privilege. Obligations for wrongdoing are legitimate - but only for those actually wronged. I believe we owe their descendants absolutely nothing that every other Canadian is not also able to access. Race based anything is not only highly discriminatory, it is also just plain wrong.

JWR has played Trudeau like he's a schoolboy. He now looks like a complete idiot. There is no move he can make on this without failure. Checkmate...

Open your eyes. They have been given billions and there still is many without clean water. Why do natives live in extreme poverty while right up the road the chief living in a mansion driving a caddy. Telling everyone who will listen how the white man is fucking them. Liberals are so goddamn blind when it comes to these votes. Well guess what, the natives will not be backing trudeau this time. He lied to them even more then other governments.

You literally have no idea what you are saying. This is not Turkey where we slaughter our minorities, it is a fantastically wealthy country where we give our aboriginal population huge privileges that are not available to the tax paying population. We are not trying to kill them off (nor has any European immigrant) we are trying to get them off their privileged ass to stand on their own two feet as equals.

ha ha ha Trump can't even outsmart his buddy fat kim.

Trump will always matter more to the likes of you, but when he gets kicked out of office he will matter more to the courts it would seem given the number of suits stacked up against him.

Far, far more money has been paid out by IAF in whatever name they have used for every status Indian in this country to live in the very lap of luxury. We did a study of that once, and found (25 years ago) that about $22k a year was budgeted to IAF for every man, woman and child in Canada with a treaty number. BUT: maybe 20% of that money ever saw a living, breathing aboriginal - and then the vast majority of what did ended up going sideways at the band council level. The big bux go to those "consultants" who are in favour of the IAF bureaucrats - and you can guess just what it takes to buy that favour. When you go to a reserve (at least any one of the hundred or so I have been on) you will find a very high level of unemployment. About the only "jobs" are working for the band, and most of those a "per diem" people who simply drive their new F250 from meeting to meeting. When you see those crumbling homes on TV, you don't see the thousand people sitting around with their finger up their ass doing diddly squat to maintain or repair those homes. When you hear about the lack of water, you seldom are told about the facilities that were built for them to treat water, but nobody could be bothered to learn how and operate and maintain that infrastructure. Before they got involved with the Mafia to build casinos here, you probably weren't told of the gambling junkets for chiefs with complementary rooms, booze and broads. The real world of reserve life is very, very different from what the bleeding hearts and halfwit media portray. IMHO: if we agree we owe something to aboriginals under treaty obligations, then cut each one a cheque for their share every month. When their band council squawks about self government, simply tell them to tax it back from their citizens. In fact though, the entire idea of having a couple hundred "sovereign nations" within one sovereign nation is total BS. It simply is impossible.

The issue here is one of "where did/does the money go?" Since the Indian Act was first brought in 10's of billions of dollars have been spent on the indigenes. Enough so that not one single person should be without good housing, indoor plumbing, potable water. Yet many of these immigrants from Asia live in squalor. So, where has the money gone? One might be forgiven for wondering about offshore accounts in the name of certain bureaucrats and politicians. Furthermore, why will the media not investigate this? I have put this to a number of high profile so-called investigative reporter over the years and nary a word heard back.

There's no self-sufficiency. We've turned them into parasites. Millions of dollars goes to drugs and alcohol. Why should we maintain multi million dollar airports, just to keep a 1000 people in a remote community? Is cost us $15 just to buy them orange juice. What about the Canadians who worked 50 years, and can't get a bump in their retirement? Why should we steal grandmas money and blow it on stupid Airports, and multi-million dollar housing complexes in the arctic? Why can't we just give them the Territories, and be done with our "Obligations"? Give them their land back, because they would have no clue how to manage it, and would become a third world country. I'm sick of a society, that's expected to bow their heads in shame, and take responsibility for something they never did 300 years ago.

Because once again...Canada's Liberal ruling government screwed it up for political gain. Everything they touch turns to crap (pipelines, carbon taxes, tariffs, western alienation, etc.). The U.S. and British governments did not promise virtue signaling feminist bullshit to gain power.

China, Huawei, are currently being dealt with under Trump. Canada would do well to follow the US model. It doesn't help to complain about unfairness of the illegal Chinese business deals when our own PM is covering up for similar things. But the specific issue is what he did in regards to interference, under Canadian law. This has nothing to do with China.

So...serving with ISIS or al-Qaeda?

See that’s where I get off the inquisition boat. There are ways to penalize the guilty parties without hurting thousands of innocent workers and deep sixing the company. So why not consider those options? It makes me wonder what other points of principle JWR would make in a position of authority and who would pay the price.
