Mid-Week Post

Your mid-week "f--- you, Doug Ford! I'm not wearing a mask!" ...

 

 

But everyone has already seen the tweets of angry, voting taxpayers giving Justin the finger because he is an odious, incompetent frat-boy who would be nowhere without his dad's money, so, this is really unnecessary:  

The newly unveiled Liberal Party election platform includes a pledge of an additional $400 million in taxpayer funding for the CBC/Radio-Canada.

 

And why would anyone hate Justin Trudeau?

Is it because he is a tiresome, divisive, incompetent, misogynistic, racist, sociopathic douchebag?

Experience says yes!:

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said anti-vaccine protesters that have disrupted some of his Ontario campaign events ought to be condemned and that his chief opponent, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, had not done enough to “correct” those protestors.

 

Do your own fighting against the people appalled that you would call an election in the middle of a pandemic you did nothing to alleviate and in a depressed economy

At this point, no one can be ignorant of Trudeau’s scandal-ridden past. Whether it is the blackface scandal, where Trudeau was caught mocking the very minorities he uses for photo ops, or the WE Charity scandal, where he was caught funnelling money to his family, Trudeau has obliterated his career.

**

Faced with questions from the media as to why he was allowing an incumbent-Liberal candidate who had been repeatedly accused of sexual harassment to run for his party, an exasperated Trudeau was once again faced with his hypocrisy when it comes to his feminist credentials.

 

This Trudeau:

“I am confident that I did not act inappropriately,” Trudeau said at the time.

“I’ll be blunt about it — often a man experiences an interaction as being benign or not inappropriate, and a woman, particularly in a professional context, can experience it differently.”

Then he called the whole affair a “learning experience” for everyone in society.

 

(Sidebar: note that the words "I'm sorry" never once left his mouth.) 


More:

After the CBC reported the story, Wilson-Raybould tweeted, “Anyone who has a responsibility to address this and does not is not fit to lead. Anyone who stands by and does nothing is complicit. Anyone who is surprised has not been paying attention.”

Wilson-Raybould lost her job as justice minister when she clashed with the prime minister over the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

The CBC reported Tuesday that Saini faces allegations of inappropriate behaviour that span six years.

The broadcaster said it had seven sources who described four different instances where Saini allegedly made unwanted sexual advances or inappropriate comments.

The sprawling, 53-page platform proposes $78 billion in new spending. It differs substantially from the Conservative plan released earlier in this campaign in that it proposes to invest more in Liberal priorities — such as efforts to fight climate change, Indigenous reconciliation and the arts and cultural sector — while promising tighter restrictions on firearms and new money for provinces that ban handguns.

The party is also promising to restore employment to pre-pandemic levels and go "beyond" its previous pledge to create one million jobs by extending the Canada Recovery Hiring Program — which subsidizes businesses that hire new workers — until March 2022. It also accuses the Conservatives of being "opposed to support for workers and businesses." ...

"What Erin O'Toole is doing is not leadership. Courting special interests – from anti-vaxxers to climate deniers, from the gun lobby to anti-choice organizations — failing to mention racism even once in a platform and ripping up $10-a-day child care agreements across the country, none of that is leadership," Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Wednesday at a Toronto campaign event.

The Liberals would also strip charity status from some anti-abortion organizations — like so-called crisis pregnancy centres — that provide "dishonest counselling to women about their rights."

 

Printed money, guns are not an issue, reservations still don't have potable water, O'Toole is a pro-abortionist just like Justin and pregnant women need help, not the "stop embarrassing your boyfriend with that baby thing" option.

Tell everyone where the bad words hurt you, Justin:

In 1988, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was arriving at a speech in Moncton, N.B. with his wife, Mila. She was accosted by one of the protesters and hit in the ribs. There were no serious injuries reported but she was hurt. ...

At the start of the 2015 election, at Stephen Harper’s first event in Montreal, a man was arrested for uttering threats. Harper was the subject of no end of vitriol from the Liberal side of the aisle including the party posting a doctored photo of Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination with Harper’s face over Oswald’s. That was on the official Liberal.ca website.

Harper was compared to Hitler by progressive activists on a regular basis and during that same 2015 election, protesters beat an effigy of Harper with bats in Vancouver and barely a blip. ...

The attempt by the Liberals to pretend that only they are subject to abuse, to link what has happened to O’Toole, is shameless but perhaps it’s all they have. I’ve written that as Trudeau became more desperate, his tactics would get desperate as well.

 

Also:

Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau evoked former prime minister Stephen Harper once again on Tuesday while fielding questions from reporters at a campaign stop in Ottawa. 

 

Why not run on your record of corruption, Justin?



Because "transparency":

Canadian tax authorities confirmed they knew about illicit foreign capital inflating real estate. They first found out over two decades ago, but only confirmed it to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) this week. A whistleblowing, retired auditor first told SCMP journalist Ian Young about the report in 2016. He waited half a decade for a response from the agency, which confirmed the study took place 25 years ago. The situation shares odd circumstances with an intelligence report mentioning foreign capital and real estate, called Sidewinder. Whistleblowers allege both reports, written one year apart, were suppressed for political reasons.

The decision by leadership in the Canadian Forces to bar members from travelling to China in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have prompted input from Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan‘s office, followed by debate on whether to “soften” the language of the travel ban.

 

(Sidebar: that should make things easier when the Taliban must be bribed.)

The federal government should recognize the Taliban as the new government in Afghanistan while making safe passage out for those we left behind a part of the deal.

Shunning the Taliban as retribution for the West’s defeat would be a mistake. That the Taliban include drug-dealing, misogynist killers as members is beside the point. Diplomatic recognition should not be considered a seal of approval, but rather as the means by which a given country represents and advances the interests of its citizens.

That’s why, despite the blood of millions on Mao Zedong’s hands, we recognized the People’s Republic of China in 1970; Pierre Trudeau recognized that we could not be a responsible player in global affairs if we ignored one-quarter of the global community.

 

I'll bet Mr. Robertson is shocked! and appalled by the Trump administration because reasons. 



This must be embarrassing:

Two Manitoba chiefs stepped up to the microphone at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s press conference last week and endorsed the candidate of their choice — but it wasn’t the NDP one.

Standing side by side before the cameras with Singh, they endorsed the Liberal candidate in their riding.



Today in COVID screw-ups news:

Two senior Food and Drug Administration (FDA) vaccine regulators are planning to leave the agency in the coming weeks, said the FDA on Tuesday.

The regulator is “confident in the expertise and ability of our staff to continue our critical public health work, including evaluating COVID-19 vaccines,” FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Caccomo said in a statement to news outlets in confirming the planned departures of Dr. Marion Gruber, the head of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review (OVRR), and Gruber’s deputy, Dr. Philip Krause.

Health Canada is warning the public not to use the deworming drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19, particularly the version that is used for animals.

 

Well, not not provide some human medicines?

If a battered child does not have a vaccine passport, will he have to return home?:

During a year of lockdowns and school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rising rates of child abuse and suicide attempts among Canada’s youth have sparked concern, according to a new report published Wednesday.
