WestCanMan Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Posted November 14, 2015 Trudeau's reasoning was that he wanted "a cabinet that looks like Canada". 50% of Canadians are women, so he wanted 50% of cabinet to be women. When you put it that way it kind of makes more sense.So what you're saying is that you have to look at it from an illogical angle in order for it to make some sense lol.

WestCanMan Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Posted November 14, 2015 Sikhs are 1.5% of our population , yet have 13% of the Cabinet. Chinese are about 11% of our population, yet have 0% of the Cabinet. No black persons, no Arabs, oh so many disenfranchised....... LOL. FWIW I think Trudeau picked a good defense minister. Even a broken clock is right twice a day tho. Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

overthere Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 LOL. FWIW I think Trudeau picked a good defense minister. Even a broken clock is right twice a day tho. Do you think that somebody very closely associated with our armed forces for most of his life is more or less likely to be an independent and objective person to implement govt policy in the department? Hmmmmm? Would you approve of, in the same vein, Buzz Hargrove negotiating labour contracts for Treasury Board? And why is a doctor a good choice for Health? Knowing all the flu symptoms does not necessarily make a good manager. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Smoke Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 After a few months, the sore loser argument doesn't hold weight anymore. Right now, that's exactly what it is. Yeah because the left were such stalwart losers that they didn't start to criticize Harper until....before he was even elected. Juts more hypocrisy from the left that we're so used to now. Quote

And yes I do think that it's important for a person to have more knowledge of the military than what they read in a book, or saw on tv.

Yes right to be exactly 1.5% representation I guess Trudeau had to cut his hands and legs to make one minister (without hands and legs) to represent 1.5% of the cabinet right? This is the Harper conservative way to appoint ministers without any power such that one person (the dictator Harper) tell them what to do. Lions as lambs. Quote

Do you think he has any friends or enemies in the military as a result of his recent, active service? Any debts there? So you'd agree that a recently retired oil company executive is the perfect choice for Minister of Energy? Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!

So you'd agree that a recently retired oil company executive is the perfect choice for Minister of Energy? I'll amend that for a closer analogy, since the Minister in question was a serving member of the military when appointed Minister: do you think that an employed oil company executive would be a good choice as Minster of Energy? Same thing. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!

Same thing. No it's not the same thing. The Minister of Defence is supposed to advocate for the military and provide the country with the most effective military he can. Defence ministers with military experience are rare birds in this country. Sajjan is a career police officer and soldier with no corporate connections that I know of. All points in his favour IMO.

August1991 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I have been watching "At Issue" on CBC for many years and find it very impartial and informative. Where is Ezra Levant? Naomi Klein? Mark Steyn? Or how about Joanne Marcotte or Richard Martineau? The CBC is boring because it doesn't represent all Canadians. ====== With Harper, there was a chance to abolish the CBC/R-C. Or change it For example, I think Mark Steyn (or Ezra Levant) should have replaced Michael Enright on the English CBC Radio Sunday Morning. How about Radio-X? Lost chance.

Big Guy Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 I do find the show informative. Permanent panelist Bruce Anderson has a close family member who has joined the Trudeau team and Bruce has decided to leave the show because his credibility would be questioned. On the last show, the producers appeared to be testing Althia Raj of the Huffington Post and Jennifer Ditchburn of Canadian Press. I was not terribly impressed with either and Althia seemed more prepared with stats but Jennifer has broken more stories. Who would you prefer? Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
The_Squid Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Where is Ezra Levant? (or Ezra Levant) should have replaced Michael Enright on the English CBC Radio Sunday Morning. How about Radio-X? Lost chance. So you would like a proven liar, shill for the oil industry and partisan Conservative Party member to be a journalist on the CBC? No thanks. That's scraping the bottom of the conservative barrel... there are a hundred other reputable journalists with a conservative-bent to choose from. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 Where is Ezra Levant? ====== . I would love to see him on CBC just to see him get eaten alive. Now that would not be boring!

The_Squid Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 I would love to see him on CBC just to see him get eaten alive. Now that would not be boring! He would only be there to shout out talking points. He is incapable of intelligent discussion/debate. Someone like that doesn't rate 5 seconds of air time. Quote

Someone like that doesn't rate 5 seconds of air time. Is Michael Enright any different? IMHO, Enright is old... Levant is younger. Both are partisan, opiniated. IMHO, the CBC should employ both - and let them say what they think. ===== At present, IMHO, the CBC is very similar to Russia's First Channel. The CBC's reports of Trudeau Jnr are similar to RTR's reports of Putin. Whatever happens in the world or whatever he does, Trudeau/Putin is basically a cool guy. If the bureaucrats/radio people/Peter Mansbridge at the CBC think that their idea is sustainable, I suggest that they look at current Russian TV first, and then the Soviet Union in general. And finally, people like Peter Mansbridge should think hard about how English-Canadians learn new stuff in 2015. Edited November 26, 2015 by August1991 Quote
