More evidence of trudeau's inexperience and arrogance.... Clearly, tater tot sees these opportunities as all about him and not about Canada or diplomatic relations
WE need to remember that Our idiot Boy Justin HATES Yankees and wishes to humiliate them at every opportunity! Our idiot Boy
is so desperate to smear Yankees that he is willing to risk major harm to Cdn economy by enraging Yankees enough that they will kill NAFTA!
Here is yet another example of how BOTCHED and confused is ALL LIE-beral policy! They are just spinning like turds in a flushed toilet! You just know they are in trouble when their best pals start raging at them! Consider:
Here is another commentary on LIE-beral policy that LIE-berals are now regretting ever mentioning and wishing it would stay hidden under a rock where they tried to bury it last spring! And how ironic that the guy leading the charge against this particular LIE-beral outrage is a civil service Hog-one of that grossly entitled gang who has done such sterling work with LIE-berals to bankrupt Ontari-owe with mad spending and outrageous pension promises for Hogs. Oh well, when the money runs out the people get crazy-and Ontari-owe is bankrupt!
An apology from Wynne on natural gas could go a long way. By SMOKEY THOMAS:
First posted: Monday, May 30, 2016 02:18 PM EDT | Updated: Monday, May 30, 2016 02:33 PM EDT. Premier Kathleen Wynne (STAN BEHAL, Toronto Sun)
It seems mind boggling that Premier Kathleen Wynne didn’t apologize for the misstep in having Ontarians believe they would be forced off natural gas, after the Liberal government’s momentous effort to have the natural gas plants built.
One would expect her to apologize for floating this policy idea in a cabinet discussion. She did, after all, spend months apologizing for a natural gas plants scandal which cost us $1 billion.
It is worth mentioning she made the right decision to backtrack this week (even if it took her more than a week to come to this conclusion) — there are tens of thousands of workers who depend on the natural gas industry flourishing for years to come.
In addition, there are billions of dollars in infrastructure to ensure natural gas is a long-term, reliable and efficient source of energy — the Liberals themselves made the investments.
And this is no time to be introducing chaotic energy policy shifts, given how electricity prices are soaring and putting enormous financial burdens on individuals as well as institutions that provide public services, such as hospitals.
(How sad that Smokey Thomas does not understand that McWynnty-THE GREAT WHORE who sold herself, her party and our fiscal future to the civil service Hogs is actually TRYING to honour her insane promises to the Hogs! The Whore has decided that she can create a HUGE slush fund inside the electricity system and have it administered by her cabinet. She has sold a MODEST 15 percent of Ont hydro to LIE-beral Friends and has used this very small private investment as an excuse to slam shut the books and DENY them to the public-LIE-berals believe it`s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS what she does with OUR Hydro company or OUR Money!)
But, Wynne does not apologize for much these days.
Certainly not for letting this idea see the light of day and appearing disconnected from average people, many whom struggle already to cover the cost of their soaring utility bills.
She didn’t apologize for showcasing her cabinet as a bunch of elites, who come across as being delighted at the idea of a green utopia while ignoring the cost of electricity when flicking on the lights at work or at home.
She didn’t apologize for privatizing Hydro One with the advice of backroom elites, without any consultation with Ontarians, and despite an overwhelming amount of the public being opposed.
(What it comes down to is that The Whore has decided that forcing us to use electricity INSTEAD of natural gas will make it easier to set up her slush fund for Hogs-she has already closed the books on Hydro One!. Such policy will also free up masses of natural gas that are no longer being used in our homes-and supply and demand will kick in-less gas sold to home owners means lower prices for govt gas plants generating electricity!
She hasn’t apologized for out-of-the-blue energy announcements — such as $100 grand announced last week to get Ontario into the business of renewable natural gas.
It seems curious she’s announcing these new funds for an energy source that Ontarians know very little about, especially when she’s making cuts to vital health-care services, including hospitals.
Or when she is denying children with autism eligibility for government-funded intensive behavioural intervention.
Or when she is enraging parents over potential school closures for deaf, blind, deaf-blind and severely learning-disabled students.
Ultimately, Wynne has the option of apologizing for missteps her government has taken.
She also has the option of announcing policies that will promote the wellbeing of all Ontarians, and not to float proposals in cabinet meetings that drive people away from her government.
As she recalls, apologies can go over well with the public, and she shouldn’t shy away from showing remorse for some of these recent missteps.

Oh no, no, non mercy! Our idiot Boy Justin has a very good idea what he is doing! That IS the problem! He is imposing his poisoned values as fast as he can and across as wide a front as he can!
The ENTIRE Trudeau clan is a pack of rabid socialists and aspiring dictators!
Consider this charming sentiment expressed by Sacha Trudope- the brother of Our idiot Boy:
For those who don’t believe that the Trudeau`s-father and sons were and are raving socialist revolutionaries who want to destroy conventional `imperialist` Canada-I supply here a letter written by Sacha Trudeau-the brother of our prime minister that Boy with nice hair-for Brains.
Sacha wrote his `love letter to his old pal-the bloody handed communist Cuban leader Castro and it was printed (with serious intent and straight face yet!) by the Toronto (Red) Star newspaper. The Sacha letter was such a gag inducing/lose your lunch at the hypocrisy type document that the National Post picked it up and lampooned it with wonderful sarcasm!
I here present Sacha's love letter to hard line communist Castro as printed in the
National Post:
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 rid the world of a political system that slaughtered tens of millions in purges, and sentenced hundreds of millions more to economic slavery. Less consequentially, communism's demise also spared the world of arts and letters one of the most appalling literary tropes known to history: the mythic communist hagiography.
If you've ever traveled to a communist nation, or read its official histories, you will know they run something like this: Great Leader was born a poor villager in the country's heartland. At the age of four, he single-handedly killed a pack of wolves that threatened his town. At the age of eight, he invented a new kind of rifle. At the age of 12, he heroically denounced his own parents as counter revolutionaries. A prodigious autodidact, Great Leader became an expert in every subject -- agriculture, warfare, economics -- and tirelessly applied his intellect to advance the glorious revolution. And so on.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, this messianic propaganda style has survived in just two places -- North Korea and Cuba. Or so I thought, until I woke up on Sunday and spotted a museum-quality specimen devoted to Fidel Castro on the pages of the Toronto Star. Had I seen it in The Onion, I would have thought it a fine parody. But the persistently earnest author -- none other than Alexandre ("Sacha") Trudeau -- apparently meant every word.
The legacy of Castro is well-summarized in a recent report by Human Rights Watch: "Cuba remains a Latin American anomaly: an undemocratic government that represses nearly all forms of political dissent. President Fidel Castro, now in his 47th year in power ... continues to enforce political conformity using criminal prosecutions, long- and short-term detentions [and] mob harassment ... The end result is that Cubans are systematically denied basic rights to free expression, association, assembly, privacy, movement, and due process of law."
But those sticks-in-the-mud at Human Rights Watch apparently don't know the real Fidel. Writing on August 13, Castro's 80th birthday, Sacha lovingly described the kindly attentions Cuba's leader once lavished on his late brother Michel, whom the despot nicknamed "Micha-Miche." When Michael was eight years old, we learn, he complained to his mother that he had fewer friends than his brothers. Reports Sacha: "My mother told him that, unlike us, he had the greatest friend of all: He had Fidel."
Such soothing words. Would that we all had a communist tyrant to call our pal.
Sacha's article is full of this sort of maudlin recollection, so much so that one is reminded of the purple love letters Nikolai Bukharin wrote to Stalin from prison in the (vain) hope of winning his freedom. The main difference is that Sacha doesn't have the excuse of imprisonment. He wrote his ode to Cuba's prison-keeper from a nation whose people enjoy freedoms that Cubans can scarcely imagine.
Space forbids a full recitation of Sacha's jaw-droppers, but here are some highlights.
Cuba's Great Leader, we are told, "lives to learn and put his knowledge in the service of the revolution." He is "famous for not sleeping, instead spending the night studying and learning." "His intellect is one of the most broad and complete that can be found." Moreover, Fidel is "a great adventurer," "a great scientific mind," "the most curious man I have ever met," "an expert on genetics, on automobile combustion engines, on stock markets, on everything," not to mention the world's "most audacious and brilliant" leader.
Or, to put it more succinctly, "He is something of a superman" -- a description Sacha justifies with a comic-book propaganda story in which the fat dictator dives 20 metres down into the ocean (without scuba gear!) to collect sea urchins for the Trudeau family's delectation.
Only when we get to the 18th paragraph does Sacha interrupt his sensuous rhapsodies to admit that Cubans "do occasionally complain." But such complaints are akin to "an adolescent [who] might complain about a too strict and demanding father."
In other words, Fidel's single flaw is that he loves too much.
If this were all there were to Sacha's article, then it would merely constitute the unintentionally comic ramblings of a son who still believes the Cuban agitprop passed on to him from his departed daddy -- nonsense that even most Cubans stopped believing decades ago. But his Star essay went beyond that, into something much creepier.
I am thinking in particular of these two lines:
z "Fidel may seem an anachronism: a visionary statesman in a world where his kind have long since been replaced by mere managers, a 20th-century icon still present in the 21st century."
z "With the possible exception of Nelson Mandela, already well into retirement, Fidel is the last of the global patriarchs. Reason, revolution and virtue are becoming more and more distant and abstract concepts." (My emphasis in both cases.)
Since the 1980s, Latin America has undergone a stunning transformation. In the time of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, autocratic police states were the norm, democracy the exception. Now it is the opposite, and only Cuba and Venezuela stand as blots on an otherwise democratic landscape. It is one of the most inspiring political transformations of our time. Yet to Sacha, all of these freely elected leaders are "mere managers." For they lack the "machismo and vigour" that can only emanate from a "revolutionary" regime -- which is to say, a community tyranny.
Throughout the 20th century, there were many other ideologues who preferred "reason, revolution and virtue" to the boring give-and-take of democratic politics and due process. Their ranks included not only murdering despots such as Lenin, Mao and Castro himself, but also starry-eyed fellow travellers and apologists such as Sartre, Fanon and Trudeau pere. Thankfully, the failure of the Soviet experiment has driven both tribes into history's dustbin.
Sacha is a rare exception. Yet from the casual way he throws out his nauseating obsequies, he doesn't appear to understand just how historically discredited his message has become. He is more than naive -- he is ignorant.
The saddest part of it is that Sacha is not an insubstantial intellect: In recent years, he has become a respected journalist, civil libertarian and activist. But there are limits to what even an accomplished person may say and still be taken seriously. What Sacha has written here is so ludicrous that it puts into question everything he's said or will say. Now that he's written this glowing tribute to a dictator with blood on his hands, for instance, why should we believe his repeated claims that this or that Arab terrorism suspect is innocent? Why should we believe his reporting from Iraq, for that matter? If the romantic glory of "revolution" is all that matters in Sacha's political universe, surely jihadis are "supermen," too, no?
Sacha is still a young man -- perhaps young enough to rebound from this blunder if he's more careful with his words. But for that to happen, the naive affection for Fidel bequeathed to him by his father should become the love that dare not speak its name.
