(Insert own witty remark here)




Canada's back ... getting the Americans, who have ZERO stake in this, to defend Canadians from Justin's favourite country:

U.S. lawmakers in the House of Representatives are being asked to condemn the “abusive” imprisonment of two Canadian men in China.

China imprisoned former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor in December, little more than a week after the RCMP’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on an American warrant.

The U.S. wants to extradite Meng and prosecute her for allegedly lying to banks to avoid U.S. sanctions on Iran.

The motion introduced in the lower house of the U.S. Congress praises Canada for upholding the rule of law in arresting Meng.

The motion also calls for the immediate release of Kovrig and Spavor and for “due process” in the case of a third Canadian, Robert Schellenberg, who had a previous prison sentence for drug smuggling upgraded to death earlier this year.

The motion will be sent to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs before the full House votes on it later.

First of all, condemnations do nothing.

So there's that.

Secondly, when Justin's dad and then Justin openly praised the Third World dictatorship that is China, Canadians should not only have blinked but swore to keep him from office and then dismantle the Trudeau legacy in a manner that would have been hurtful and humiliating for Justin and the rest of his disgusting family but emotionally satisfying for everyone else.

Only then could the country heal.

But, oh noooooooo ...


Also:

Black-clad demonstrators rallied in Hong Kong’s airport on Friday, filling the arrivals hall of one of the world’s busiest terminals as the city braced for another weekend of potentially combustible protests.

Activists also signaled that despite objections from the police, they would continue with plans for a Saturday rally against mob violence in Yuen Long, a district near the mainland Chinese border where last weekend a group of men attacked people in a train station and on nearby streets.

That attack on Sunday, which left at least 45 people injured, was apparently meant to intimidate the protesters who have been holding demonstrations in the city for weeks. But the men, many of whom were masked and dressed in white T-shirts, also lashed out at train passengers who had no apparent connection to the demonstrations.

The police — who failed to stop the mob, and initially made no arrests — have since detained 12 people in connection with the train station attacks, including some accused of having connections to the criminal gangs known as triads. The authorities have said they object to the Yuen Long rally on Saturday because of the risk of clashes, with tensions running high between pro-democracy protesters and residents of the district’s villages, who are more conservative and supportive of the establishment.

The prospect of more violence this weekend poses another challenge for Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s embattled chief executive, who is under pressure from Beijing to restore order in the semiautonomous Chinese city. On Sunday, hours before the mob attack, protesters defaced the Chinese government’s main offices in the city, in a direct rebuke of the Communist leadership in China.

Dividing a county is what the Liberals do best:

Anyone looking for a sneak preview of the Liberal campaign against Conservative leader Andrew Scheer in the upcoming fall election can simply look to the West.

In an attempt to fend off a challenge from Jason Kenney’s United Conservatives, the Alberta NDP kept a laser focus on social issues, painting Kenney and his party as reactionaries on abortion and gay rights. The tactic led to some miserable days for UCP candidates and staffers but, ultimately, it didn’t work.

A simple explanation of what the Liberals have done since 2015 to keep Canada a functioning economy would be sufficient to win voters.

As the Liberals have done nothing to keep this country afloat, they will resort to bribing the press, lying to the public and painting their enemies as American or whatever adjective seems fit these days for the emotionally retarded and the paranoid electorate that puts them into office.




When Obama told Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev that he would have more "flexibility" after the election, no one made a sound. When presidential candidate Mitt Romney declared that Russia was a global threat, everyone had a good laugh.

Now, nearly four years after Hillary Clinton blew the election she was supposed to win (according to the chattering classes), the attempt to unseat Trump with a new Red Scare falls disastrously flat:

The Democratic-led U.S. House Judiciary Committee asked a federal court on Friday for access to grand jury evidence from the Mueller probe that lawmakers say they need to determine whether to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. ...

Mueller testified on Wednesday in back-to-back hearings that Democrats hoped would focus public attention on Trump’s alleged misconduct and boost support for an impeachment inquiry. But his halting and reticent performance changed few opinions, leaving House Democrats to accelerate a congressional probe that could take months to bear fruit.

People who don't know how to turn off their cell phones are furious that the police frantically search for children:

Canada’s provincially controlled Amber Alert system has led to abducted children going home.
It’s also meant a loss of sleep for potentially millions of people who have been woken up by the shrill alarm that goes with it, leading to a growing call for the system to be overhauled.

It was only a year ago that the Canadian system changed to make it mandatory that all alerts must go out on all devices. So far this year Ontario has had six alerts, five of which ended with the abducted child being returned home. A sixth led to an arrest, but only after a 41-year old Toronto-area man was charged in the death of his 11-year-old daughter.


But for all its successes, middle-of-the-night alerts have led to 911 operators being besieged by angry callers furious at being woken up.

“There was one person, in particular, who called repeatedly,” said Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook of the Toronto Police. “He was quite frustrated and he called back again to express his displeasure and frustrations and ultimately the fact that this Amber Alert, by waking him up at that time of the night, had apparently ruined his life.”

What an @$$hole.
