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.

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.

Yes he is quite a phony, laughable joke isn't he. Good thing the wind wasn't blowing from behind when they took that picture.

"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 trump is a long way from free to go. Let's open Muellers file to see why.

We all know Trump lies through his teeth, but why does he stretch that to include lying about where his father was born? "Pathological" maybe the appropriate term?

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

The PMO does have too much power, doubt anyone will change it though. Interestingly, Trudeau told Raybould she was booted out before the actual vote, so he did do it himself.

I think the party can handle it. And if they air it out, then we can work to fix whatever is wrong. But the way Trudeau is doing it is really hurting his standing among Canadians, and among the Liberal Party. Trudeau is the one that cannot handle the dissent. It does in fact look like a cover up from the government that they allowed SNC to get away with LOTS of corruption and blackmail. Not just here in Canada, but as we have seen , abroad in places like Libya. Trudeau needs to go. And not just from the PM's office, he needs to be removed from the Liberal party as well.

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

A lot of people don't realize that China also has a "Never Again" attitude about loss of sovereignty, invasion, and occupation that stems from Japanese imperialism and civil war between the nationalists and communists (Stalin actually supported the nationalists in quirky pre-WW2 alignments). Even as a backward nation, China was very important in the Pacific theatre as it engaged and tied up Japanese resources. Over 14 million Chinese nationals died. The UN found this out during the Korean War. Fast forward to today.....China is never going to let that happen again.

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.

I'm gettin' a kick out of this new book "Commander in Cheat, How Golf explains Trump" And I saw the cut today where he says "the noise from windmills causes cancer". Of course he wants to re open coal mines and we know coal smoke is entirely safe!. How long is this nitwit going to go on I wonder. As long as the nitwits who support him are around I guess.

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.

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.

And how many people are in prison because of them? Btw, remove terrorism from that list.

The Liberal MPs are out in full force, trying to make it so that it's Raybould who's got no principle to stand on (Wayne Easter said that).....for secretly recording that conversation. Did Wayne even stop to ponder why Raybould was driven to that extent? One male MP (can't recall his name) said that, "that's normal conversation between them." How conveniently they try to blurry the point: it's not normal because Raybould was the Justice Minister. They shouldn't be having that kind of conversation. "She shouldn't have recorded that. It's an erosion of trust," they say. Lol. And, you trust Trudeau? Did you see she was right - "the shite will hit the fan"- how she got shuffled out? Man, you Liberal MPs got such a warped perspective! You should all lose in the coming election! I hope Canadians (especially card-carrying Liberals) will uphold what's only right. Only three women from your party deserve to represent Canadians!

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.

A Liberal cabinet minister lying??? Say it isn't so!!

It is illogical to pose that a person engaging in lying and/or other unethical acts is owed protection through confidentiality. There are exceptions in specific professional relationships only to preserve a greater need to society to encourage trust in that professional relationship. The purpose and intent of JWR's tape was to expose unethical acts against all of Canadians. In fact it would have been unehical for her to have remained silent knowing the silence might aid and abet the cover up of an unethical act and/or continuation if unethical actions. As well there is nothing unethical about proving someone is lying about you. The fact the tape is inadmssable in court without the consent of the taped person does not make it unethical. A liar is owed nothing but exposure of their lies. Nuremberg trials made it clear all humans let alone politicians have an ethical duty to question and expose wrong and not blindly obey.

That is what I have been asking. You earlier suggestion doesn't account for the billions which have gone towards indigenes. BTW they aren't indigenes, the came from Asia. Every north american "native" has Asian DNA. If they can be indigenes just for being born here, so can everyone else.

This is not "America" this is Canada. HUGE difference when it comes to the treatment of aboriginals. BTW: Pretty smug for someone who's country pulled off Dersim & Zilan massacres.

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.

No missile test lately but he is rebuilding a test facility he "agreed" to disassemble which Trump tried to tout as a win. Oops!

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

I don’t think that assistance to Indigenous peoples should be a permanent arrangement. It should have a scale-back mechanism that kicks in once a self-sustainability plan is in place, gradually reducing to zero as employment and resource development improves. This is what should happen. What do I actually think will happen? Taxpayers continue to fund Indigenous affairs such that many Indigenous peoples don’t have an incentive to work in and contribute to the wider economy or even the local Indigenous economy. Those who leave the reserve tend to be more successful. There are some successful reserves/territories, especially out west. Any time taxpayers push back and question budget expenditures on Indigenous affairs, will there always be images circulated in the media of kids living in third world conditions, huffing gasoline, and so forth? I wish it could be different. I’m willing to give some of my income in the hope of real improvement. It’s sad because even as non-Indigenous are blamed for cultural genocide and “stealing the native land”, the overriding impression that non-Indigenous people have of Indigenous people is of welfare recipients, a stereotype that certainly doesn’t speak for all Indigenous people. Most people don’t buy into the romantic notion that Indigenous people were more moral or decent than European settlers. Images of Iroquois burning missionaries and Hurons alive tell us otherwise. Indigenous people did not have a better way of life back then and most Indigenous people today are not choosing to live as they did 300 years ago. Everyone should work and contribute to their society. Doing so makes preserving and celebrating Indigenous cultural traditions more viable.

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.
