Then we would only have people running who are rich enough to work 'for free', except that they fix the laws for themselves and their friends... including kickbacks. Oh wait, that model works fine and also supports populism ! 4. Exactly. So why not do them the justice of taking about TWO minutes to look at some numbers and propose something, rather than just saying they are all crooks. If the Liberals and PCs know you aren't paying attention to numbers they will both play you - as they have done. I used to vote none of the above.

Popular Post capricorn Posted October 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted October 30, 2018 What's that you say? You were not one of the lucky 500,000 Canadians picked by the government who will access your personal banking information without your permission. Don't worry, your turn could come next year...or the year after....or later. Quote Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending a decision by Statistics Canada to compel banks and financial institutions to release the personal transaction data of 500,000 people without their consent. Conservative House Leader Candice Bergen grilled Trudeau during question period Monday following a report by Global News that revealed Statistics Canada is asking the country’s nine largest banks for the transaction data of 500,000 randomly chosen Canadians, including everything from bill payments to cash withdrawals from ATMs to credit card payments and even account balances. StatCan has said it has the legal authority to do so — even without informing Canadians or getting their consent — in order to build a personal information data bank to analyze things like consumer trends and spending habits. “With a long history of government privacy breaches, Canadians are rightly worried,” Bergen said. “Why are the Liberals collecting the personal data of Canadians without telling them?” Trudeau said his government would ensure that all personal information would be protected and the anonymized data will be used for statistical purposes only. “High quality and timely data are critical to ensuring that government programs remain relevant and effective for Canadians,” the prime minister said. Bergen called on Trudeau to “immediately assure Canadians that this intrusion into their lives will be stopped.” https://globalnews.ca/news/4608105/trudeau-defends-statistics-canada-move-to-collect-banking-info-of-500000-canadians/ How will knowing how much you paid Visa or your bank balance help develop federal programs? Trudeau isn't saying, except to criticize the previous Conservative government. I guess he's ignoring the fact that the Liberals are at the helm and he needs to step up with answers for concerned Canadians. Canadians should be leery of this government intrusion into their financial affairs. It's also just one other central source of information to be hacked into by criminals and those playing around for their amusement. In addition, I do not believe that 100% of Stats Can employees are above selling said information. Trudeau and his government, at your service. 5 "We always want the best man to win an election.

Centerpiece Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 Quote “High quality and timely data are critical to ensuring that government programs remain relevant and effective for Canadians,” the prime minister said. Pretty simple. The government could give us examples of three programs where the specific data that they are accessing would be helpful - and why. It's called communicating. 1 1
capricorn Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 There is nothing Justin Trudeau cannot do. Here he is on horseback on the occasion of his apology for the killing of some members of a British Colombia indigenous tribe 150 years ago. The backdrop is stunning. Note that the apology was made in the name of all Canadians. In the Quebec media, a journalist asks when will Trudeau apologize for the 1918 killing a group of Quebecers in Quebec City who were demonstrating against conscription into WW1. The journalist concludes that there are more votes to be garnered from indigenous voters than Quebec votes. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2018/11/05/trudeau-choisit-ses-morts 1 "We always want the best man to win an election.

Centerpiece Posted November 9, 2018 Report Posted November 9, 2018 I'm still feeling nauseous from the staged Quantum Computing "explanation" that Trudeau gave back in Sunny Days....the one that the Global Liberal Press immediately fawned over. I think they've caught onto how naive they were - hopefully. But it says a lot about the mentality of our PM - so sensitive to criticism that he's a shallow, empty suit - that he has to stage a spectacle to puff himself up. It fits nicely beside the Bollywood fiasco.
