The whole Russian Collusion fiasco is disgusting, and rightfully cost several top FBI officials their positions within the org and even their jobs and pension. Sadly, the crooked Dems at the top who have been forcing this thing through, such as Hillary, Schiff, Nadler etc, are not losing a thing. They won't lose their pensions and they're not even losing credibility with a large percentage of the voting population because the MSM is backing them so hard. Honestly, they should be up on stage issuing America a huge apology for repeatedly saying, in no uncertain terms, "it is clear that Trump has colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the election" for 3 full years, dozens of times per day. Yet somehow they're still on the attack, dialling their claims back from "Trump colluded" to "Trump tried to get a guy fired for doing a whole host of things which were, with the clear benefit of hindsight, illegal, immoral and unethical". I say that because of how many times they kept going to the FISA court to get renewals, how they constantly framed unrelated arrests as "related to Russian collusion" even though they were about tax returns from the '90's, etc, how they used unrelated charges to coerce Trump associates into testifying against him, how they decided not to arrest people who were on their side and committed crimes because it would detract from the investigation, etc. If you put a frog in cold water you can turn up the heat til he dies, but if you put it in hot water he jumps out.... That's the best analogy for this. People who jumped on the collusion bandwagon at the outset (when the water was cold) saw all the unrelated arrests and subsequent squeeze plays as a necessary evil. They still talk about these Trump associate arrests as being "related to collusion" but they all know full-well that none of them were related to collusion at all. They overlooked Hillary's own Russian collusion as a necessary evil. They overlooked all the obvious bias from people like Strzok and Page because they weren't even informed of it by left wing news and they don't believe it when they hear it from "right wingers from helllll!!!!!". They overlooked the fact that people who were against Trump and are known to have committed serious crimes during the investigation went completely unpunished, while Trump associates who committed lesser crimes went to jail. They now know, with the benefit of hindsight, that no evidence of collusion was ever found, so there was no reason for the FISA warrant to have ever been re-issued, but they don't care that the FISA court was lied to. That's a far more serious crime than Trump's supposed obstruction. If the Trump-haters just came on the scene now and looked back, without bias, they would instantly (feel the hot water) see the incredible level of bias and corruption and the absurdity of it all. Instead, they're trapped defending their original opinions, unable to take a serious look at this because it involves a massive loss of face.

Maxime Bernier has finally come out with a full out speech on immigration going well beyond earlier hints. Among his promises is to drop immigration to between 100k and 150k, put an end to illegal border crossing even if that means fencing off miles of border, outlaw birth tourism, and require potential immigrants to have face to face interviews which will include values testing, and to prioritize economic immigrants. On refugees, he said Canada needs to prioritize those immigrants who can't be safely housed in nearby countries, like Christians and Yazidis. There's nothing in this speech for me to dislike. I have been giving serious consideration to going PPC in the upcoming election, and given this as well as the rest of the PPCs policies, including doing away with corporate welfare and inter-provincial trade barriers, I think that this year I'll be voting for the PPC. Bernier also said in his speech that he will reduce the total intake of immigrants and refugees to between 100,000 and 150,000 annually, depending on economic circumstances, which is significantly lower than the federal Liberals’ target of 350,000 per year. He also said he will outlaw “birth tourism,” a practice in which foreign travellers come to Canada to deliver children as a way to secure citizenship. He promised to increase the proportion of economic immigrants to non-economic-class immigrants and require immigration applicants to go through face-to-face interviews to assess the extent to which they align with Canadian values. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/build-a-fence-maxime-bernier-announces-plan-by-peoples-party-to-crack-down-on-immigration/wcm/3873d4aa-28c8-4722-bd69-d0e885392263

How about this correction, issued today by Mueller after the hearings-

All good points and I don't disagree. I'm just not ready to throw out my vote to ensure another Trudeau victory. I believe in principled support...but I believe in pragmatism more. Bernier can't get it done...period. It doesn't matter what he stands for, his policies and vision are moot in this election cycle. My interest and hope in this upcoming election is in stemming the bleeding...triage. Scheer is a light weight, no doubt...I'm not a Scheer fan. But if he can gain some momentum with his energy corridor idea, sway some influence by making a strong case to Canadians for responsible Canadian resource development without the need to shut the whole sector down , keep his hands off the guns of innocent target and sport shooters, try to keep the deficit below 15 or 20 billion a year, and keep from driving a gigantic wedge between regions of our country any further...he will be miles ahead of what we have now. And if he can keep from totally embarrassing this country on the world stage, playing dress up and dancing around like a ferry, arrogantly lecturing all of us on his morally superior virtue, and put a coherent sentence together when speaking off script, it will be a bonus.

I know it would be nice but may take several electoral cycles before they change, if ever. The Conservatives need a new leader. Meanwhile Liberals are on the rampage to sell out the country.

Pretty sure the amount of racism has significantly decreased since a few decades ago.

The marching orders go to CNN. CNN is not an organization to pay attention to and take seriously anyways.

According to CBC and Global, that was a clear Democrat victory over Trump...indeed backing these losers even in Canada.

No he won't because people are now cowed and afraid to say or do anything because of the Liberal fear and smear machine, and, they know at this point it's a wasted vote. If Bernier made it happen the cops will have to hold the fence down so people can get across safely. Who’s going to hold the baggage? ET: Apparently Shut Down Roxham Road is all over the Quebec media now.

And that of most Canadians. 63% of Canadians want immigration cut 56% of Canadians think Canada is too welcoming to immigrants, 54% want immigration lowered, borders tightened, 48% immigrant are changing canada in ways I don't like. 68% want immigrants to assimilate better 75% want a values test for immigrants

IMO a lot of people will agree with Bernier but afraid to vote for him as it really is a 'wasted vote' at this stage anyway. Bernier has guts because he knows the Liberal fear and rage machine will stoke the narrative of 'white supremacist' for even thinking that immigration should be geared to Canada's needs and economy. People don't care about the colour of skin, they care about education and or skills which they prefer. I think his figure is a bit low tho, maybe between 150,000 to 200,000 would be a more agreeable number, but no matter the figure the Liberals will immediately come out with the usual narrative and accusations. Bernier knows this but seems to be willing to take the heat.

Let's hope the final clown has emerged from this clown-car.
