Mid-Week Post


 

Your middle-of-the-week end of September ...

 

The two candidates from last night's shouting match in Cleveland:

  1. He said that he never called military personnel "stupid bastards." But he did say it ...
  2.  Biden said he didn't support the Green New Deal, instead backing something call The Biden Plan, but part of that plan is support for the Green New Deal. 
  3.  Biden said that Kellyanne Conway stated that Trump preferred violence in American cities, because it was better for his campaign. That's a stark misrepresentation of what Conway said. Conway was quoting a restaurant owner who asked protestors "Are you trying to get Donald Trump re-elected?" She said that people know Trump is dedicated to public safety.
  4. Biden lied about his son, saying that Hunter Biden did nothing wrong despite evidence that continues to emerge.  
  5. Biden said that Trump said "there were good people on both sides" of the Charlottesville protests. But the truth is that Trump called out the white supremacists, who he "condemned totally," and the far leftist extremists like Antifa. 

 

The moderator of that shouting match, Chris Wallace, had the audacity to ask Trump if he would condemn white supremacists. For all of Trump's missed opportunities to address Biden's various lies and errors, he did not dignify that absurd and inflammatory question with a response. Such questions are baiting and are hardly likely to be believed by people who spatter out utter codswallop instead of examining Trump's four years in office and pin-pointing some actual deficiencies in the administration.

 

Speaking of Trump:

From January 1, 2020 to September 28, 2020, we counted that Donald Trump attended 1,055 different scheduled engagements, while Trudeau attended only 548.  

 

Trump is busy managing the world's most important economy.

Justin is busy trying to destroy Canada's economy.

But don't take my word for it: 

The Parliamentary Budget Office said yesterday that the federal debt will eclipse $1.45 trillion by the year's end, with projections showing that figure will increase to $1.6 trillion by 2021.

"Should parliamentarians support extending temporary measures or introduce new response measures, program spending could rise significantly above the Budget Office's baseline projection," said an Economic and Fiscal Outlook for September 2020, according to Blacklock's Reporter

 

(Sidebar: ahem ...)


But wait! There's more!:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will commit an additional $400 million in development and humanitarian spending to combat COVID-19.

Trudeau says the new money will go to trusted partners that are fighting COVID-19 around the world.

 

What money is Justin throwing around?

He is throwing around borrowed money instead of leaving it in Canada without a thought for the sole purpose for which he occupies his dad's former office. 

And he is such a cheap b@$#@rd that he haggled over the cost of a flight (that taxpayers had to dish out for, one might add) to see his pill-popping mother babble in front of an audience.

 

This is the same country where 26.97 million CERB applicants have been processed:


It is a country that will see heating costs rise to sixty percent under the government's rushed and forced Clean Fuel Standard.

It is a country that cannot monitor banks' compounding of interest on borrowers, the benefits its former finance minister and other members of Parliament received

Hell, it let disgraced MP Joe Peschisolido write a little apology note for his connections to Chinese organised crime


Canadians truly do get the governments they deserve.

In 2015, veterans launched an anti-Harper campaign during the election.

In 2020, they are currently reaping what was sown:

Disabled veterans typically wait years for benefits the government claims to process in sixteen weeks, new data confirm. Figures follow an admission by Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay that “we’re behind the eight ball”.

 

Also:


 

I would say a group masquerading as a charity that gave money to the prime minister and his family is a BIG deal:

Cabinet last night narrowly averted a snap vote of the House affairs committee mandating more disclosure of We Charity documents. One Liberal MP accused opposition parties of conspiring to “dig up some dirt”: “You’re going after what you see as some scandal that’s going to make things incredibly bad for the government. I get it.”


The dirt, my good man, was already unearthed.

The government already looks bad and everyone knows it.



Why, I'm stunned:

More than four in ten employers hiring migrant workers fail surprise inspections, says the labour department. The finding follows a 2017 audit that faulted the department for failing to conduct spot inspections under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program: “Most enforcement activities consisted of reviewing documents.”

 

 

Why is she still in this country?:

A lawyer for Canada’s attorney general accused the defence team for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou of trying to turn her extradition hearing into a trial Tuesday.

Crown prosecutor Robert Frater urged Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes of the B.C. Supreme Court to “cut off at the knees” defence arguments that he said have no chance of success.

“You’re being asked to turn this into a U.S. trial and our submission is you have to stand firm against that,” Frater said.

 

 

Obeisance, thy name is the Liberal Party:

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil has apologized to Black and Indigenous Nova Scotians for systemic racism in the province’s justice system.


This Stephen McNeil:

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil is making no apologies as he heads to China on Friday, a trip that comes as Chinese officials are overseeing a crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and authorities continue to detain two Canadians.

** 

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil is criticizing a new border measure imposed by China that requires Canadian lobster exporters to assume liability for COVID-19 in order to get their product into the country.

 

(Sidebar: f--- you, Stephen.)  

 

This China

The Ontario government has reversed a planned flag raising that would have taken place on Wednesday.

They were planning to fly the flag of Communist China, coinciding with China’s ‘national day.’

The insane plan caused a massive backlash, with Canadians noting how crazy it is to fly the flag of a foreign country on a Canadian government building, particularly the flag of a country that has kidnapped Canadians.

Pathetically, even in announcing the cancellation of the flag raising, the Ontario Legislature tried casting it as a health move:

“In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases and the recommendations by Public Health authorities to be more vigilant than ever, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario has decided to cancel all flag-raising ceremonies until further notice.”

Conservative MP Michael Chong had earlier slammed the decision to fly the Chinese flag:

“I don’t think any order of government in Canada should be flying the flag of the People’s Republic of China while two Canadian citizens are wrongfully imprisoned in China. When governments fly a foreign flag it sends a certain signal,” said Chong.

 

Moral cowardice and intellectual dissonance. 

Where would Canada be without it?
