  1. And now......Trudeau is going to sign with the UN compact migrant. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/belgian-minister-wants-nothing-to-do-with-un-migration-pact/2018/12/06/56d4dcc4-f93b-11e8-8642-c9718a256cbd_story.html?utm_term=.18fa583f6c01 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-un-migrants-austria/austria-to-shun-global-migration-pact-fearing-creep-in-human-rights-idUSKCN1N50JZ https://www.politico.eu/article/steve-bannon-in-brussels-un-migration-pact-already-dead/ Hello?

  2. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/07/macrons-arrogance-unites-us-on-the-barricades-with-frances-gilets-jaunes Must be his version of...."let them eat cake."
  3. The kid's trying to amass "likes." Lol. He must need that pretty badly these days - what with all the bruising he's getting, self-esteem must be at an all-time low. If he wants likes, no problem with that. Just do it with your own money! Ransack your Trudeau foundation!
  4. We saw the violent clashes in France. Macron decided to suspend the tax hike. But apparently that's not enough. There's another protest planned for this coming Saturday - and many groups are joining. The woman being interviewed said that there are many small groups - and that they seem to be conducting "guerilla-like" tactics. Are we seeing the start of a revolution? What commentators are saying, both inside France and out, is that the movement has been organized primarily on Facebook. The writer Frederic Filloux described some of the group’s methods: https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/4/18119777/yellow-vest-france-facebook-groups-gilets-jaunes
  5. Like as if the billions of money squandered are not enough - from the useless leaky pipeline that he bought, to the disastrous India trip, to the reckless open border invitations to all persecuted, to the shameless handout to Bombardier.....and now this: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-criticized-for-tweet-to-trevor-noah-pledging-50m-charity-gift-1.4202127 The amazing part is.....according to polls.....he's still way ahead!

    False claim of Trump Jr. legal jeopardy forces NPR to issue correction

    NPR was forced to issue a lengthy correction Friday after falsely accusing Donald Trump Jr. of lying to the Senate about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, claiming his statements contradicted Michael Cohen’s plea deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

      What I find notable is the low key way this is being handled by the media. Sure, they're reporting on it, but in a very ho hum sort of tone. If you recall when it was Duffy the media were like sharks in a feeding frenzy, over something far less significant than this sordid affair. Strange how that works.

      No, betsy, when you take Parliamentary democracy in Grade 11, you'll learn how a PM is just another MP and can't force another MP to resign.

      Duffy had 31 charges under the criminal code and was scamming money from the taxpayer. How many charges has Grewel been charged with? How much money did he steal? What, therefore. Makes this worse? Your own partisan wishful thinking? Sorry. You lose.

      I read that she's planning to stay on, for obvious reasons, if she can stay awake I guess.   I do wish her well but it does beg the question about retirement age, surely it's reasonable to set it at say 80.

  13. Here is part of an open letter that was addressed to the Atty General, and several officials regarding the Al Quds rally. May 17, 2018 Open Letter Hon. Yasir Naqvi Attorney General of Ontario McMurtry-Scott Building 720 Bay Street, 11th Floor Toronto, ON M7A 2S9 CC: Kathleen Wynne (Premier of Ontario), John Tory (Mayor of Toronto), Jody Wilson-Raybould (Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada), Jackie Gordon (The Sergeant at Arms of the Ontario Legislature), Chrystia Freeland (Minister of Foreign Affairs, MP for Toronto Centre), Dave Levac (Speaker of the House of the Ontario Legislature), Mark Saunders (Chief of the Toronto Police Services), Paul Boniferro (Deputy Attorney General of Ontario), James Pasternak (Toronto City Councillor for Ward 10), Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto City Councillor for Ward 27) Thursday May 17, 2018 Dear Mr. Naqvi, The rally on June 24th of last year was the most extreme of any Toronto Al Quds Rally the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) has witnessed. Our organization, which monitors each year’s rally on behalf of the community we represent and on behalf of basic human decency and respect, noted numerous instances of hatred - many of which we believe clearly violate sections 319.1 and 319.2 of the Criminal Code - including a speech given by notorious Holocaust denier Kevin Barrett who vehemently denied the right of Israel’s existence, and including a song played on repeat by rally organizers – named ‘Declare it a Popular Revolution’ – which includes the lyrics (about the Jewish community) “stab whoever you see, five, six, ten, twelve… Declare a Popular Revolution… Make us happy with bombing a bus… cut off (their heads), stab (them), run over (them), launch an attack on them.”[ii] It was also reported that ‘Nazi Salutes’ by Al Quds Rally attendees were directed at Jewish counter-demonstrators,[iii] in addition to a speech delivered by radical Mississauga Imam Maulana Syed Mohammad Zaki Baqri who declared that “the systemic elimination of Jews… Israelis, Zionists should know, that it is the (religious) law that whoever oppresses, he has to be eliminated.”[iv] These acts of pure hatred toward an identifiable group can simply not be permitted. The above examples are only a portion of the disgraceful, dangerous, and hate-filled occurrences which were recorded by FSWC, and only a small portion of the publicly recorded instances of hatred at the annual Toronto Al Quds Rally readily available online for the world to see. The Jewish community feels extremely vulnerable both here at home and abroad. The Canadian Jewish community – continually the most targeted group for hate-motivated crime in Canada - remains on high alert over a spate of antisemitic attacks in our own country and province, as well as throughout America and much of Europe. In fact, per Statistics Canada, the Jewish community has been the most targeted for hate-crimes since at least 2013 – with 2016 being the worst year on record.[v] According to the same report, hate-crimes targeting the Jewish community accounted for 48% of all hate-crimes motivated by religion, despite the Jewish community comprising less than 2% of the Canadian population.[vi] In recent reports from police services in Toronto[vii] and Hamilton[viii], the Jewish population remains the top target of hate motivated crimes, and incidents have increased year over year. We at FSWC believe, given the political climate in Canada, as well as the fragile climate in the Middle East, that allowing this event to move forward on Saturday June 9th is both reckless and dangerous. Ignorance in the face of hatred must no longer be tolerated or accepted. https://www.friendsofsimonwiesenthal...to-al-quds-day The rally was allowed to go on. I highlighted those high-ranking officials who could've acted on it, had they wished to. All of them had opted to look the other way, and in doing so - had clearly given approval for this kind of hatred to be directed towards the Jews. They have all become enablers!

      Doonesbury was the comic strip that made The Donald a household name across America/Canada. Trump was a regular character that Uncle Duke worked for as well as JJ Caucus, who painted Michelangelo style frescoes on his yacht's ceilings....lots of nude Trump cherubs...classic. 

      https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1988/08/12

      Trump continues to make appearances in this long running strip.

  16. Thanks to BushCheney for this: Correction to climate change study highlights flaws in peer-review process https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/peer-reviews-1.4907377 There goes another black mark on this so-called "peer reviews."

Since when did a minority group ever become this powerful enough to cow a government? We're seeing it now! John Tory is cowed by Al Quds. He's frozen stiff.
  18. So......who's really calling the shots now in Canada?
  19. John Tory proved himself useless in the face of this mockery!

  20. Of course you'd wonder.....why on earth the blatant hate rally of Al Quds is allowed to go on? https://torontosun.com/2017/08/26/jews-urge-attorney-general-to-stand-up-to-hate/wcm/876b7d5b-314d-4802-b7e2-f11a8e38e2d8 Why did they have to urge him? Did the urgings work at all? No. http://www.cjnews.com/news/canada/toronto-al-quds-day-rally-will-go-ahead-despite-efforts-to-stop-it Ford had promised to stop this rally. Huh. Maybe, he'll have to butt heads with Trudeau over this, too.
  21. We're very much into the topic of hatred recently. Trudeau just recently made an apology to Jews regarding the bigotry of refusing asylum during the time of Hitler, and he also brought up the recent massacre of Jews in Pittsburgh. However....a blatant hate-rally (which had broken our own Hate Laws), has been allowed to go on for years in Toronto. I'm thinking of the Islamist rally done by Al Quds. This rally is done every year in Toronto. Several complaints were filed against it, but surprisingly it still goes on, and the same message of hate is repeated: calling for the death of all Jews. https://www.bnaibrith.ca/sheikh_calls_for_eradication_of_israelis_at_toronto_al_quds_day_rally I checked out the law. Here's what the government says: https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201825E So.....prosecution depends upon the consent of the Attorney General! Why is nothing being done? I got curious. Who's the past Attorney General of Ontario - before Caroline Mulroney? Yasir Naqvi. He's a Muslim. https://lfpress.com/2017/10/02/muslim-role-in-courts-opening-hailed-as-a-first/wcm/9a306d72-d4a7-048b-03e4-d00b19f637e0 Who can say that religion didn't play a role in his decisions?
  22. The irony of Michelle Obama.

      I suppose.....like everyone else in politics, or in any way connected to the White House who became overnight authors, Trump just have to be in Michelle's book! 

    So she goes around promoting her new book.  The media took some of her pot shot at Trump (of course)....and quoted her statement about him.  However.....this one about her worrying about the safety of her kids, makes me scratch my head. 

    Stephanopoulos noted, before reading a quote from the book released to the press where she claims Trump would’ve inspired a shooter to target her family:

    [A]nd she wrote, ‘What if someone with an unstable mind, loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk and for this I’d never forgive him.’

    https://www.lifenews.com/2018/11/09/michelle-obama-trashes-conservatives-who-support-trump-as-wing-nuts-and-kooks/

    Trump's questioning Obama's birth is OLD NEWS!  Didn't Trump reluctantly agree  in 2016, that Obama was born in the USA?   So, why's Michelle bringing this up again?

     

    Lol.  What if someone with an unstable mind happen to see her in the news today (promoting her book),  and see her quote:

    What if that person went looking for our girls?

    Didn't she just give them an idea?   bringing up an old issue (which didn't have any kook come looking for her girls).....

    If a kook comes looking for her girl now, where do you think that seed of idea came from - Trump or Michelle?

    We see a lot of loonies coming out now compared to 2016.  Michelle's more interested to promote her book, and looks like using her girls to sensationalize her book doesn't give her any concern for their safety.

     

    Talk about crap.

  24. Didn't Trudeau just gave $1 billion LAST YEAR  to Bombardier to KEEP JOBS? 

     

    The excutives even gave themselves fat raises!

     

    Apr 2017

    Last week, Trudeau said the government respects “the free market and the choices that companies will make.” On Monday, he said the government is “obviously not pleased” with Bombardier’s decision, “but we are happy to see it make decisions that are fixing that for Quebecers’ and Canadians’ confidence.”

    https://globalnews.ca/news/3354398/bombardier-trudeau-hammered/

     

    What f**king confidence is he on about when it isn't the first time Bombardier had been bailed out by Canadian taxpayers???

    So....today, Bombardier is laying off 5.000 workers!

     

    What happened to that billion?
