    2 fugitives tied to targeted murders among 4 B.C. men found dead in mysterious Ont. plane crash

    …& speaking of small airplanes and crashes….the first electric airplane is in Canada. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/first-only-electric-plane-canada-141623242.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipistrel_Velis_Electro It has a payload of 378lbs, so as long as the pilot is a small woman, the passenger...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    That’s too bad. Guess I can’t claim that Polar Bears are local to Regina. http://www.travelmanitoba.com/blog/polar-bear-season-2020-how-to-visit-churchill-this-year/

    There’s a couple in MB, & a couple in AB. Maybe it’s how “local” is defined?

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    We recently learned through secret cabinet documents that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland wanted individuals whose bank accounts had been frozen to be denied their cash until they reported to the police. The suggestion was not ultimately acted upon, but was made public in a redacted document...

    Elizabeth May wins Green Party of Canada leadership, set to co-lead with Jonathan Pedneault

    The MP that’s not Elizabeth May seems pretty decent. He won the coin toss so he doesn’t have to be the Party Leader.

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Gets weirder, & Trudeau shows up this coming week. Friday at the Emergencies Act inquiry, Canada’s top civil servant attempted to rewrite the law she was there to defend using to justify her actions. With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and much of his cabinet appearing next week, we can expect...

    Elizabeth May wins Green Party of Canada leadership, set to co-lead with Jonathan Pedneault

    Doesn’t the Green Party only have two MP’s…& this Green Party Co-Dependant isn’t one of them?

    Is Trudeau just trying to be seen in a different light since the China thing can’t be ignored any further and he needs to shore up his image somehow before his appearance at the Emergencies Act Inquiry this week?

    Jody Thomas, national security advisor to the P.M., did think there was a threat. Based on social media posts, she felt the convoy was a “threat to national interest and institutions by people who do not care about or understand democracy, who are preparing to be violent, who are motivated by...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    This is getting a bit weirder. Just out of curiosity I’ve watched this snippet of video between Trudeau and Xi & the Interpreter several times…& some various analysis of it… basically guesswork on body language and such. Just before Justin Trudeau interrupts the Interpreter and goes into the...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    That last comment was a legitimate question though. I honestly don’t know why at this point that Trudeau is finally beginning to address this. I was wondering if somebody else would come forward with an answer. I know things are coming out from under the fridge in the dark… and it really can’t...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Well, Canada as a nation did finally make a decision on the whole Hauwei 4G or 5G this March after several years (& having the Five Eyes exclude us), & the two Micheal’s are home after a 1000 days in the hostage negotiation (along with Canola & Pork), and the political interference in our...

    SIMS: The CBC is a government monster gobbling up tax dollars

    From the link in the opening post. Others may have different “takeaways” from it, but this is how I read it: The CBC’s original mandate in the 1930s was to air Canadian news and entertainment over the radio waves. Comedy and drama shows were broadcast to compete with the popular programming...

    Canadians worried about housing as Ottawa raises immigration targets: poll

    Wow…that’s a huge can of worms in a single one sentence question.

    Russia invading Ukraine on February 24th was a political gift to the Trudeau Gov’t. “Phew! Look over there! Look at the bad man oppressing and such! Nothing to see here in Ottawa. Move along…” Credibility. Suspicious. Yeah….It’s been interesting if not enlightening. Yeah. He’s got until 2025...

    National Security Adviser Jody Thomas, who recommended using the Emergencies Act, what the experts in law enforcement and intelligence believe just doesn’t matter. Nor does it matter what the legislation actually says. When pressed during her testimony at the Public Order Emergency Commission on...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    As the ‘Freedom Convoy’ demonstrations continued to snarl downtown Ottawa in February, the prime minister’s national security adviser warned of the possibility that its most extreme attendees could target the general public. While the overall terrorism threat level remained unchanged, according...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Whoops! Jody Thomas, Trudeau’s senior national security aide, refuted key elements of testimony by RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, saying the top Mountie had a duty to speak up — but didn’t — when the government was considering the controversial decision on Feb. 13. Lucki also did not...

    Donald Trump Announces 2016 White House Bid

    Or Trump runs, dilutes the Republican vote, leading to Democrats gain? Isn’t Trump the Maxime Bernier of American politics at this point?
