Monsef said she wanted to keep Iran trip 'hush-hush'
?Impact replied to PIK's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
So the opinion ones political opponent are considered facts in your book? -
Agreed, that is why I mentioned the Chinese Yuan first. There has been a concerted global effort since 2010 to diversify global reserves. The fast rise of the Canadian and Australian dollar demonstrate how quickly that happened. The relatively flat Euro, GBP, and Yen show that there is a limit, based on the economy of the country/region. I don't see much more upside for the Canadian or Australian dollar because they too are now being limited by the size of their economies. The Yuan however has a long ways to go, and it is just starting, so that will be the interesting one to watch.

It certainly has a history as being the most popular reserve currency, approx 60% compared to the Euro at about 25%. The Chinese Yuan is a new reserve currency for about a year, it will be interesting to see if it gains a sizeable share. Other major reserve currencies are the Japanese Yen (4%), Pound Sterling (4%). While still small, at just under 2% each, the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar have been the fastest rising reserve currencies over the past 5 years.

The rumour is going around that Donald Trump bribed the low intellect voters with a red baseball cap. -

I stand corrected, only those who report to DoD have the Yankee White clearance, although they can be both military and civilian personnel. I don't know if Cristeta Comerford works for the DoD, do you have any reference? -

I suggest you read DOD #5210.87, pay close attention to section E3.1.2 & E3.1.3 -

The protestors are peaceful. It is the thugs that Donald Trump hired to infiltrate the protest and cause damage that you are referring to. -

There are three categories of security clearance for those working around the President. What is known as Yankee White clearance category 1 is the highest level, and that would be for the the top decision makers especially around matters concerning national security. Category 2 would be for the general staff, including support function like cooks and cleaners. Category 3 is for those that participate in events, like honour guards, etc. but not full time. I expect that Trump's children should as a minimum have Yankee White category 2, they are trusted advisors and will be likely be spending considerable time at the Whitehouse (non-escorted). I personally have no problem with them getting category 1 clearance, I think that really depends on what, if any, jobs they are assigned. The focus on top secret is meaningless, there are over a million Americans with that level of clearance. Much as I despise Donald Trump, to suggest that the Trump [adult] children should not receive top secret level clearance is ridiculous, assuming they pass the required vetting. What some people fail to realize, is that having an security clearance does not automatically give you access to all information. There is still the "need to know" requirement that must be passed for access to any specific piece of information, and that is up to the disclosure officer in the originating department. All classified information is compartmentalized, and just having a security clearance does not allow you unrestricted access. Your clearance is simply a indication to the disclosure officer that you have been properly vetted to a certain classification level. -
Is increasing immigration by 50% to 450k too high?
?Impact replied to Moonlight Graham's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
As carepov pointed out, you are looking at different scales for Canada and Japan. If you look at 10years, the trading economics site appears to align both scales (probably because there is comparable data for both countries during that time period). Go to the site you originally linked to with Japan GDP growth rate, select 10 years, and then compare to Canada GDP growth rate. I would say that Canada has a slight advantage when you do that direct comparison, although there are short time periods where Japan does beat us. -

Poor people should be sterilized. I'm sure there are some in here with that sentiment. -
I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second Queen of Canada Her Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada And fulfil my duties As a Canadian citizen. What do you want, a double-secret special promise?

If more have been deported, then there can`t be that many left with the exception of Melanija Knavs. -
Requoting the 650,000 email figure is again proof positive of how dumb Trump supporters were. It was very clear from earlier FBI statements based on serial numbers on the Clinton email server, the one they used to demonstrate there were deleted emails, is that there were about 63,000 emails total and they had copies of 30,000 of them. That means that only in ones blind partisan deranged mind could another 590,000 emails be conjured up in a spirit dinner.

Where did you get that from? An apartment in the city in China cost about 4,029.03 ¥ ($600 - 1 bedroom) to 4,238.40 ¥ ($1200 - 3 bedroom), prices outside of the city are about half of those.

I don't see any change in political position, only against the character of the child-man (DT). Do government programs exceed their original estimates, yes. Do politicians lowball to support their ideas, yes. Do special interest groups lie to support their ideas, also yes. You seem to accept the first two yeses, yet totally ignore the third. Yes, the money spent to create and expand the crisis in the middle east should have been spent on our own Canadian people first. We now have a responsibility to fix our mistakes.

If you listened to the debates, attended one of her rallies, or gone to her website, then you would know. If you listened to the main stream media, then you would only hear the Donald Trump rantings. The media was against Hillary, and working for Trump.

President of United States - Donald Trump

It's not just the people living there, but the public in general. There were special tax exceptions given to that location in exchange for the lobby being declared a public space. More tax dollars Donald Trump has stolen. -
This is more like a weather forecast. When you have a 30% chance of showers, most of the time you can go out and enjoy your day. There will be the odd time however that you get wet.

?Impact replied to marcus's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Watching the 60 minutes interview now, and just like in the debates Donald Trump proves he has zero stamina. For the first 10 minutes or so he was a bit Presidential, but then he started to slide into his old self.
