You really believe that taking money out of the pockets of ordinary citizens and lining the pockets of government under the guise of environmentalism is good. Wow! I don't know what to say to that, except that I can't believe the gullibility of environmentalists.

I'll say it one last time. If the carbon tax were going into R&D and not general revenue I'd support it.

But it's not.

It's like this Bar Sinister. Just because you paint a garbage truck green, doesn't make it cleaner.
People need to shake their head.

Didn't read all of my post did you? Clearly high gasoline prices worked as a deterrent to big engines in Europe and other parts of the world. And no one forces anyone to buy a vehicle with an oversized engine. If you choose to spew poisons into the air then you should pay the price.

Yes, I did and you are still horribly wrong. And still you support a tax that will do nothing for the environment. I get a monthly increase to my heating bill of $50.00 due to carbon tax. I can't very well stop heating my home in the winter. That carbon tax also affects my electricity (around $30.00) and we are not wasteful with electricity. Everything in my house is geared toward energy savings. All my lighting, all LED, my appliances are all energy savings. My windows are top end.. I own two vehicles. A car with a four cylinder and a pickup truck. The pickup is used for what it is made for, picking up lumber, moving refuse, hauling stuff. The four banger car is used for travel and commute. All of this was implemented before this bullshit tax.

The tax is not going to modify my behavior any more than it's going to modify the behavior of people who need the basics to live and feed their their families. It's simply going to punish the middle class, hurt the poor and put a microscopic dent in a rich persons income. The single parent who can't afford to upgrade their dwelling will pay more.

Too bad, tough shit. Go green.

On the other hand, the provinces that have implemented this bullshit tax will spend it and eventually they will come again with a new tax when they can concoct another lie. And at the end of the day, the environment will be no better off.

But people such as yourself will only see the THINK GREEN and buy the lie hook line and sinker.

It's called wealth redistribution and has nothing to do with Climate/weather/global warming.

It never did originally. It was just a way of getting people to drive more sensible vehicles. But now it makes more sense than ever.
And its got nothing to do with wealth distribution since everyone pays the same tax rate.

I applaud your environmentally friendly attitude. But quite obviously higher energy prices worked with you. The trick it to get them to work with everyone else.

Attrition is shown to be a version of slavery and also has been shown to not work...

I can see why YOU would promote that.

I agree completely with that. Of course I must also mention that someone other than you said it.

Bar Sinister has now officially "jumped the shark"! I and many other have been stating that the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade scam is nothing more than a shameless tax that greedy LIE-berals are using so they can get the gravy they need to buy civil service union Hog votes and thus cling to power at any price!

And now Bar foolishly tells us this: "its called income re-distribution"!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OF COURSE IT IS! AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM!

The money is being re-distributed from those who earned it and given to those who LIE-berals want to BRIBE!

And poor foolish Bar does not understand why we are PISSED at this LIE-beral greed! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I guess Bar has to much gravy in his eyes and cannot see clearly!

LIE-berals own up to their true nature- premier Wynne is now openly trying to Buy that June 2018 election- but she does NOT wish to tell us who will be getting the bills if she is re-elected!

The public has recognized that no matter what Wynne-bag offers us- she will offer DOUBLE to her pals!

Whatever Wynne-bag “gives” us- we will have to pay for at least FOUR TIMES OVER!

WE will pay ONCE for what we actually use.

WE will pay TWICE for the double helping she gives to Hogs because they are ENTITLED!

And we will pay for the FOURTH TIME in interest on the BORROWED money!

LIE-berals are trying to lure us into their debt CAGE!

If "attrition" -whatever you mean by using that word the way you have- was really a form of slavery then YOU would be in chains [icking littler in a park and doing something useful for white people instead of foolishly insulting them!

You are rambling off topic as usual Bar-bells for brains!

Oh poor Bar Sinister- reacting in typical LIE-beral butthurt style because his posts are inarticulate and confusing!

Here is yet another article illustrating the kind of society that poisoned LIE-beral values are building. With some comments of my own in brackets):

When did you last menstruate? Universite Laval criticized for intrusive job applicant questionnaire

From Canadian Press. Published: January 26, 2018. Updated: January 26, 2018 5:50 PM EST

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Canada

MONTREAL — A Quebec City university is being criticized for a questionnaire that required job candidates to reveal whether they’ve been tested for HIV, the date they last menstruated and whether they’ve been treated for cancer.

(This crap is part of a clear pattern of radical/LIE-beral influence- not just at universities but at ALL levels of our education system! Wilfred Laurier U is okay with “communications” students watching the Leni Reifenstahl film “Triumph Of The Will’ which glorifies Adolf Hitler- but they go berserk when Lindsay Shepherd show a clip from TVO- with Steve Paikin interviewing Dr. Jordan Peterson about weird gender pronouns!)

(And we see Acadia U professor Mehta threatened with legal action and firing because he dares to speak in the same terms as Jordan Peterson- with both being in the same line of psychology work- seeking to produce logical minds!)

(And we have had further angry debate as other institutions seek to discriminate against white people in hiring practices! And OIUT in Oshawa Ontari-owe sees nothing wrong with promoting rallies against white privilege! This is LIE-beral style open war on white people!)

Universite Laval’s vice-rector for human resources said the questionnaire was used to find out whether candidates would need workplace accommodation.

(Gee- don’t LIE-berals keep telling us it is ILLEGAL to ask about disabilities?)

“It’s a standard practice in human resources to verify if a person has particular conditions that mean we need to adapt their work environment,” Lyne Bouchard told The Canadian Press.

(And its common knowledge that half the population deals with menstrual issues at some point in their live so why ASK about it? Unless of course you are planning on restricting female candidates for fear they will offend Muslim men who will be annoyed at coming in contact with UNCLEAN females- who have way more rights than they deserve- thanks to our Cdn Constitution that Muslims want to rewrite just as soon as they can- according to the principles of misogynist Sharia Law?)

Bouchard confirmed the university stopped using the questionnaire after Jan. 10, when local media began to ask questions.

(Yeah- LIE-beral bullies DO NOT like to be confronted or nor to have their vile values exposed to public scrutiny either!)

It's a standard practice in human resources to verify if a person has particular conditions that mean we need to adapt their work environment.
Lyne Bouchard, Universite Laval human resources

She added that no applicant was ever removed from the job pool on the basis of their answers and that the university had not received any complaints about the form.

(She means NOBODY CAN PROVE any complaints about candidate selections!)

The 40-question, four-page form had been given out to people applying for jobs at the university since 2009.

Among other questions, respondents were asked to list the cause of death of close family members and answer whether they’d consulted a psychologist or made a claim to Quebec’s workplace health and safety board.

(The questions sound hugely intrusive and more a than a little ILLEGAL?)

In a section reserved for women, applicants were asked to jot down the date of their last menstruation and gynecology exam, and declare whether they’d ever been pregnant or had an abortion.

(Are they trying to sort out people by their thoughts on abortion and such- and again- ISN’T THAT INTRUSIVE AND ILLEGAL?)

Bouchard said she couldn’t explain why some of these last questions had been included, admitting they “contravened the values” of the university.

(A cynic would suggest she seems to mean the questions “contravene the values of the university” ONLY if nosey reporters begin asking awkward questions!)

According to human rights lawyer Stephanie Fournier, the questionnaire is clearly discriminatory and violates Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

(Ah- yes- LIE-berals are ENTITLED to set aside the law when it suits them! And defending their vile values is a PRIORITY regardless of truth or legal reality!)

The principle is clear: the mere fact of asking, in a selection process, questions on the state of health or any ground of protected discrimination, be it civil status, religion, sexual orientation, constitutes discrimination.
Stephanie Fournier, human rights lawyer

(LIE-berals never saw a legal standard that did not have an escape clause included JUST FOR THEM! Anti white bias NEEDS SPECIAL PROTECTION!)

Fournier said that in the case of pre-employment contracts the burden of proof is on the employer to prove that the questions are relevant to a candidate’s ability to do the job in question.

(This is all part of the creeping corruption of campus life in which radicals are gaining control of our education system to further their own ends-and force mind control on our kids at our cost!)

Employers may not, for example, use such questionnaires to rule out candidates with a greater risk of absenteeism or who might become pregnant, she added.

Bouchard insisted the information in the questionnaire was kept confidential and was sent directly to a doctor.

She said the hiring process was currently undergoing a review that would likely lead to the creation of a new questionnaire.

(Oh right- I think we CAN trust these people to put aside their twisted values- just until the cameras and reporters are gone- then its back to business as usual!)

It's tangible enough to get your knickers in a twist.

Oh- I DO THINK the people of B.C. are enraged by the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade scam- its just that LIE-beral friendly media CHOSES NOT to tell us about it!

Here is an article illustrating the bold drivel and mindless parroting of useless slogans that Green Party airheads and power mad LIE-berals expect will blind the public to their insanity- or bore them into dull witted complacency- and keep the Hogs in power- in defiance of reason and logic. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Bold Climate Action. Because we live here.

Climate change is both the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity that Canada has ever faced. While the consequences of failing to address climate change would be catastrophic, our transition to a green, sustainable economy will create good local jobs, shorter commutes, more livable cities, and cleaner air and water.

(Climate change is “opportunity” It is only so for LIE-berals who will use it as an excuse for the biggest transfer of wealth and privilege in history! Simply taxing carbon fuel use has proven to be USELESS! LIE-berals modelled their carbon crap and trade scam on the now 14 year old European model that only cleans cash from wallets and leaves the dirt in the air! It is ONLY a wonderful windfall for govts seeking new sources of gravy! And of course civil service union Hogs use that extra gravy to MAINTAIN their already LARGE carbon foot print!)

(Think of it: all those atv`s, riding lawn mowers, gas powered leaf blowers, weed wackers, sea- doos and those fuel gulping rides in airplanes to Florida golf courses in January! It is environmentally more sensitive to drive a large SUV to Florida than to fly in an airplane- but driving is not convenient for Hogs! LIE-berals INSIST that it is some waitress who insists on driving her car to and from her late night work shift- because she does not feel safe on streets patrolled by thugs released by LIE-beral judges with a slap on the wrist in exchange for major crimes- who is to blame for ALL our environmental troubles!)

(LIE-berals deceive us most shamefully in all matters pollution related! They know that about 50 percent of Toronto air pollution comes from U.S. mid-west and yet they claim their action in closing 2 coal burning electric generators and opening up a bunch of mouldy green solar and wind generators- while turning our electrical system into a giant LIE-beral slush fund- has made Ontari-owe air better! LIE-berals IGNORE the 140 coal burning plants that United States govt closed in the same time period!)

(In fact- the effect of the LIE-beral mouldy green power is much diminished because it is so unreliable that fossil fueled natural gas plants MUST be kept fully charged and ready to go at a moments notice- burning at full power 24/7 to be ready to take over instantly when the mouldy green fails! It would have been more sound environmentally just to use the natural gas plants and not produced that huge toxic plume that is the natural byproduct of all the industrial activity needed to produce the concrete, steel, carbon fibre rotor blades and many miles of aluminum wiring to install and hook up the mouldy green!)

Our plan is to move to the virtual elimination of fossil fuel use in Canada by mid-century. Our short-term target is 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, while we are calling for 80 percent reductions below 1990 levels by 2050. These are ambitious targets, yet the scale and urgency of this challenge demands nothing less. As Canadians, we will rise to this challenge and, in doing so, create a strong, stable, and prosperous economy today and for our children and grandchildren tomorrow.

(Various economists have written of the staggering economic consequences if LIE-berals continue down their muddled and very selfish path! The LIE-beral carbon crap and trade plan is nothing but a giant slush fund to supply more gravy to civil service union Hogs! Carbon crap and trade merely assures that people who already have the smallest carbon foot print- because they are poor- will have to pay even more tax! While at the same time LIE-berals will be using that new gravy flow to feed Sunshine List Hogs even more gravy so they can keep their gas guzzling toys fully fueled up! The LIE-beral carbon crap plan is sordid combination of environmental fraud and tax ponzi scheme of spectacular size!)

(WE need some sensible priorities for carbon! Heating our homes is more necessary than sending Hogs on a trip to Disneyland! Heating and lighting our workplace is higher priority- or ought to be- than paying Hogs so richly they can retire at age 55 and fly to Florida in January to play golf! People living in smaller urban centres with no public transit are more entitled to drive to work using fossil fuel than Hogs ripping around on their atv`s, sea-doos and ski-doos! It is cheaper environmentally for Ontari-owe to buy fruits and vegetables from the Niagara and Holland Marsh areas- instead of importing from Chile and California- so why are LIE-beral policies deliberately killing LOCAL farmers? If the environment is to be saved then govt is going to have to set some honest priorities instead of the muddled fakery now in place! )

For Canadians to benefit from this transition, we need to elect Green Members of Parliament. Only Green MPs will stand up to defend our coastlines from increased tanker traffic, our rivers and parks from reckless pipeline projects, and our economy from further pursuit of high-risk extractive schemes that threaten Canada’s long-term prosperity. Only Green MPs will position our economy to reap the full benefits of the inevitable global shift to a fossil-fuel free economy.

(Currently China imports massive quantities of coal from Australia- would it be more environmentally sound if they could buy natural gas from western Canada? LIE-berals insist that natural gas burns MUCH CLEANER than coal- so why not build gas pipelines to the coasts and make the CLEAN Cdn fuel available to the world? Making greater efforts to export Cdn gas might even persuade Yankees to give up their dirty gas fracking and buy Cdn instead? LIE-beral hypocrites have NOT thought any of their policy through- as usual- simply because they are focused ONLY ON GRAVY!)

It is time for Canada to take bold climate action.

Because we live here, our top environmental priorities are to: Defend our coastal waters from risky pipelines and oil tankers.

(How is it that LIE-berals and Greens have no problem with importing oil to eastern Canada using tankers running up the ENTIRE Atlantic coast from Venezuela yet go berserk over the same ships running straight across the Pacific from B.C. to China and back? Tankers shipping fossil fuel from west coast to Chinese markets will spend much less time close to shore than their eastern counterparts! And why bother shipping oil from Venezuela? Why not pipe it into eastern Canada from Alberta- with the entire production in carefully regulated Cdn hands? With a recent news report even telling us that LIE-beral oil production regulations are ALREADY MUCH TOUGHER than what is in place in Venezuela! Apparently LIE-berals have gravy in their eyes and cannot see?)

Only Green MPs will put our coastal communities first by standing against all new raw bitumen export schemes.

Kinder Morgan proposes a seven-fold increase in oil sands tanker traffic through Vancouver and Burnaby, while Energy East proposes to increase tanker traffic through the Bay of Fundy. These tankers would carry bitumen from the oil sands, mixed with toxic diluents to make it flow, a mixture that is impossible to clean up if spilled.

(And why mention Bay of Fundy when pipeline supporters are currently talking only of land based facilities that serve an eastern CDN market only? The ONLY new market for Alberta oil east of Kenora is Canadian! And there are ALREADY tankers from Venezuela off our east coast- not purchasing Venezuelan oil means LESS tankers in Bay of Fundy! On top of which it is not practical to ship tar sands oil to China from New Brunswick as a quick look at a world map would show! As for pipe line spills- these CAN be avoided by careful and HONEST regulation that demanded preventative maintenance to eliminate spills rather major clean ups after a spill!)

A single tanker accident would ruin our coast and the lives and livelihoods that depend on its health. That is why we recognize that the economic, social and environmental consequences of approving these projects is simply too high. We will take a stand and defend our coastline.

(Again- careful regulation and honest safety measures CAN prevent accidents- otherwise how do Venezuelan tankers pass through Florida hurricane season safely on a regular basis?)

Poll after poll shows that the people of the West Coast will not allow this risky project. More than half of British Columbians say they oppose the Kinder Morgan expansion, including more than three-quarters of young British Columbians. Even the Ontario Energy Board has ruled that Energy East poses more risks than benefits. While the old parties use complaints about process to avoid taking a stand, or even fast track and support these projects outright, the Green Party is the only party standing up for the people and communities threatened by these projects.

(Yes- a LARGE group of people who think they can ride this anti oil stance to personal profit are opposed to any environmental approach that might derail their very selfish personal plans!)

Protecting existing jobs in the industry, creating new jobs by upgrading and refining existing production, and providing skills training for workers who have been laid off or who want to transition to more stable, long-term jobs. This strategy (more Peter Lougheed and less Ralph Klein) would actually help Alberta’s economy avoid the disruptive boom and bust cycle.

(SO LIE-berals want to have more top down control of the environment and the economy! Has anybody been reading up on the problems that TTC has been having with its busses and street cars? Quality control is a huge issue with new vehicles from Bombardier apparently requiring much more maintenance than TTC counted on- it’s a sign of govt influence whenever we see a company get huge grants- we see quality control going WAY DOWN! One has only to think of the now dead Urban Transport Development Company- the beloved brain child of LIE-berals and NDPers- who now support Green Party style nonsense- that went bankrupt after sucking in huge piles of tax money! Or we could discuss Petro Canada- that giant LIE-beral fiscal black hole that could not produce a profit even though it was offered FREE ACCESS to oil fields that private companies PAID to get access to- AND the private companies made a profit on what THEY bought- while Petro Canada Hogs drowned in red ink! Govt could not run a chip truck at as profit- not even if you gave them the potatoes for FREE!)

Given climate realities and volatile international oil prices, expanding oil sands production is simply not on. Most of the bitumen in the Alberta oil sands must remain in the ground. We will create new jobs in Canada’s oil and gas sector by refining the product we already produce, rather than shipping it out raw for refining in other countries.

(Real world market demands will dictate what happens in the oil sands- unless politicians meddle for selfish reasons! LIE-berals dream in technicolour if they think they can “create” new jobs in Cdn oil and gas sector while stifling exports! There are already LONG TERM contracts in place that ensure that LIE-berals CANNOT meddle in oil production unless they want to end up like Alberta Ndpers- and are forced to sue themselves because they did not read those long term contracts- yes you rrad that right- various Ministries in Alberta govt are SUING each other for screwing up contracts for electricity! NDPers and Greens are the less intelligent, less shrewd and cunning cousins of slimy LIE-berals!)

In addition to increasing our refining capacity, Canada should be leading the global clean technology industry – an industry that has boomed in other countries like Germany, where over 1.4 million clean-tech jobs generate over 11 percent of the country’s GDP.

(And WHY would LIE-berals want to INCREASE our refining capacity if there is no way to export the resulting new product? And if green jobs are so wonderful then why can they ONLY EXIST by sucking up VAST govt subsidies? We have only to look at the LIE-beral mandated conversion of a coal burning plant in the Thunder Bay area- it now burns “bio-mass” which is a fancy way of saying GARBAGE- so that Cdns do not get excited about incinerators and the highly poisonous by product Dioxin! And there is no North American producers of biomass so LIE-berals are importing the crap from Europe- without bothering to discuss the HUGE carbon foot print involved! But hey- LIE-berals DID save 60 union Hog jobs at the generating plant- but its too bad the electricity it now produces costs TWENTY FIVE TIMES MORE than other forms of generation!)

(And there is the heart of the Green “Revolution” they offer us only massive new taxes to pay for privileged Hog gravy and huge govt interference in every aspect of our lives as LIE-berals and their allies cling to power at any price! And the air STAYS DIRTY even as our wallets are emptied!)

Seeing how the majority of folks in BC do want pipelines, it does say much about what and how the media presents their info


This is the great dirty secret of LIE-beral policy- that they see no reason why THEY should go short on anything- EVER! They expect to run all manner of gas guzzling toys while we freeze in the dark- lost in our energy poverty! LIE-berals fully intend to build a HYPOCRITE HEAVEN right here in Canada! And NO white people need apply for entry!

LIE-beral hypocrites see nothing wrong with the pollution they create since they are so entitled they figure their SH+T does not stink!

Here is an article illustrating what a mess LIE-berals are making by insisting that grant recipients sign fully onto LIE-beral values- or get nothing! With some comments of my own in brackets):

How the Liberals' attestation will ruin summer for many Canadians

By Lorne Gunter. Published: April 3, 2018. Updated: April 3, 2018 5:13 PM EDT

EISEN: Ontario now adding debt even faster than before

For the last several years, the Innisfil Community Church (ICC) near the shores of Lake Simcoe in cottage country north of Toronto has run a popular day camp each summer. Full days, five days a week for eight weeks, at a cost of about $200 a week less than other area day camps.

(By now most Cdns will be aware of the Orwellian mind control that LIE-berals are forcing onto all manner of public groups- with grants now based on whether the groups will sign a commitment to adhere to FULL LIE-beral values!)

The appeal of the camp was mostly for local working families; not so much for the scions of stylish cottagers. School holidays last longer than mom and dad’s vacations, so ICC’s day camps provided a safe, active, decent place that parents without a lot of money could trust to keep their kids (about 80 each summer) happy and busy.

(And of course religious groups are in the summer camp business for moral reasons- and not for mere profit!)

The camp also employed between 10 and 12 local high school and university students, helping them learn leadership skills and earn a little money to go back to school in the fall.

But not this summer. The eight-week ICC camp won’t operate because the Trudeau government won’t give Canada Summer Jobs grants to any group that refuses to sign an “attestation” swearing it supports, among other things, abortion and same-sex marriage.

(The irony of LIE-beral “attestation” is that they are also forcing us to accept masses of Muslim immigrants who hold view about women and gays that are- to put it delicately- rather obsolete- by Cdn standards! How can LIE-berals fuss about abortion when their Muslim proteges want to ERASE ALL rights for women? And how to reconcile gay rights with those of Muslims who believe that it is acceptable to KILL a gay person so they will never sin again? LIE-berals scorn main stream Catholic Church and fawn over rabid Muslims!)

It’s a travesty that will be repeated all across the country as popular summer projects are cancelled because organizers refuse to submit to the Liberals’ intellectual bullying.

(NO doubt Muslims WILL get grant money- either because the LIE-beral boot lickers will not confront radical Muslims or because Islam allows a Muslim to LIE to an infidel to defend Islam- and LORD KNOWS- Muslims think they are entitled to gain much at our expense- in the brave new LIE-beral world we are not even permitted to regulate or limit who immigrates to Canada!)

Last week, it was reported that Ottawa had received just under 43,000 applications for jobs funding. Approximately 1,600 (about 4%) had been turned down because the applicants refused to kowtow to the Trudeau government on social issues.

The Liberals revealed these numbers, I think, because they thought the stats proved this was no big deal. The government seemed to be saying, “See, see, hardly anyone objected – only 4%.”

(And LIE-berals could have- but did not- crunch the numbers more fully- we would like to know who got turned down and why! The answer would reveal much about LIE-beral bigotry towards main stream white people that LIE-berals demonize as Islamophobes and systemic racists- which is why LIE-berals will NOT answer!)

But if 1,600 day camps have to be cancelled as a result of the Liberals’ ideological litmus test, or thousands of summer students are laid off, the impact will be significant.

If you want a glimpse of how obnoxious and undemocratic this is, consider the reverse. What would have been the Liberals’ reaction if the Harper Tories had made federal funds conditional on community groups signing “attestations” agreeing that “life begins at conception” or that marriage is “only between a man and a woman.”

(LIE-beral hypocrisy knows NO limits and NO shame! They are ENTITLED!)

The fact that the Liberals, who portray themselves as the great defenders of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, could think up this purity test and not instantly understand how it violates Canadians’ fundamental freedoms is yet another sign of their smugness and arrogance.

Modern “progressives,” who include the federal Liberal government, are full-throated in defence of rights, in theory. Yet in practice, they are usually only willing to protect the rights of people who agree with them and their world view.

Take, for instance, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who said last week she had no time for people who disagreed with her on climate change or who challenged the Trudeau government’s climate policies, notably a carbon tax imposed on provinces whether they like it or not.

(WE have 15 years of evidence about how BADLY the European Carbon crap and trade tax worked- and since the LIE-beral crap and trade tax is an exact copy- we know it only cleans cash from wallets and leaves the dirt in the air! This is why “Climate Barbie” does not wish to debate with carbon crap opponents- because she would LOSE and be exposed as a greedy tax Hog!)

Compare that to the Liberals’ outrage, while in opposition, when they claimed the Harper government was threatening the research grants of scientists who challenged government policy.

(Conservatives merely made efforts to silence scientists who griped about the lack of fresh gravy they felt entitled to- its why the civil service votes LIE-beral- they are being BOUGHT by borrowed money and shrug off the size of deficits! Neither Hogs nor their LIE-beral allies care about national bankruptcy!)

Or how about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s election commitment to increase transparency in Parliament versus his repeated attempts since to change House of Commons rules to reduce opposition opportunities even to question his government.

Then there is the Liberals’ pledge to end wasteful travel spending and clean up ethics, versus the reality of Trudeau’s exorbitant trip to India, his $700,000 (or more) trip to the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland or his free vacation from the Aga Khan.

Over and over, the Liberals have made self-righteous proclamations only to do the exact opposite.

(Being a grossly entitled LIE-beral means never having to say “sorry”- no matter how badly you behaved!)
